No Amusements In Zanzibar.

There would appear to be no pres
ent market in Zanzibar for merry-go
rounds and other amusement devices
There are no public resorts in the
American sense Of the term. On the
occasion of the various Mohammedan
feasts and festivals and at other times
flimsy wheels and -go-rounds
are set up on the beach near Fan
zibar, and perhaps for two days these
are well filled by natives who pay
onehalf cent for a rather long ride.
The equipment. however. is Of the
poorest character, and, while evident
ly popular, the patronage apparently
does not warrant owners in continu-
ing to run them after the day or two
of feasting Is over. Furthermore.
the various tribal dances which OBJ
tain all over the district hold first
place in the hearts of the natives.
and the extreme simplicity Of theirlife
and the absence of money are further
deterrents to the Introduction Of up
to-date amusement devices.-From
Consul Alexander w. Weddell Fan.

SPOTTED FEVER GERM.

DR.. John F. Anderson, director OF
the hygienic laboratory, Is preparing
to begin experimenting upon the Rock
mountain spotted fever ticks, which
were turned over to him after they
had caused the death of Dr. r. & Nc.
Clintick. Dr. McClintick contracted
the disease while experimenting upon
the ticks at Victor, Mont.
"My first task" said DR.. Anderson
cheerfully, will be to isolate the spot
ted fever germ. The germ has never
been isolated Is yet. 1t is so small
that 1t has been impossible thus far
to detect 1t under the microscope.
IF I succeed in isolating the germ.
1 shall continue my experiments in the
hope Of discovering an antitoxin for
the disease"
DR.. Anderson has in his office $4,000
of the deadly ticks. sealed in glass
tubes-enough to wipe out the popu-
lation of Washington should they be
liberated, It is said.

Power From Sea Waves,

At a recent meeting Of the British
association the question of economi.
cal production of power from tides
and winds was under discussion. and
it has been taken up widely by scien-
tif1c journals In Europe. In France
attention has been called to a sys-
tenn of utilizing the power Of sea
waves to actuate a dynamo which
has been employed for some time
past at the mouth of the River Cir
onde. An airchamber is connected
with a we'll which communicates with
the sea at depth below the level Of
the lowest tides. BY the advance
and recession OF the waves changes
of pressure are produced in the air.
