Disease Attacks Noun
 tain Sheep And Goats

The Department of AgricuI- ture has undertaken the investi- gatlon of serious disease which is affecting the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and the mountain goats, and is reported as exist ing on the Lemhi National Forest in Idaho.
 The Forest officers think that it is the same disease that caused the mountain sheep to die in great numbers during 1882-3. The nature of the disease is not known, thougt it results fatally and sheep affected with it seem to have rough mangy coats and are very much emaclated. Three bureaus of the Department are engaged in the study-the Biologi- cal Survey, Bureau of Animal h. dustrv, and the Forest Service. A competent veterinarian has al- ready gone to Idaho to start the work.

Improving The
 Breed By Law

That the enforcement through
 legal agencies of the principlss
 of eugenics, admirable as they
 are, belongs to a future ideal
 state of society, and not tn the
 imperfect present, is the opinion
 of such authorities as Dr.
 William Mabon. superintendent
 of the Manhattan state hospital
 and chairman of the Medic
 Psychological association's com
 mittee which has stedied the
 subject with scientific care, and
 certainly without prejudice ag-
 ainst any practicable scheme for
 race improvement. The con-
 clusions of the committee were supparted by the society at it's
 meeting, when resolutions ad-
 vocating "clean bills of health" and evidence of normal mind" in candidates for marriage licenses were emphatically re- jected by it.
 Like most reformers, the eugenists move too fast. They would remork world oner night, and change the habits of a whole race by writing a law an the statute beeks, Not only would the course which they advocate fail to accomplish the purpose they desire, but it would in- evitably ring in it's train un- necessary bring in it's train un- necessary suffering and lowless- ness. But this is not to say that their crusade will accomplish no good. On the contrary, as Dr. Mabon says;
 ''I do think that, as education of the people continues, and the lay public becomes more ard meee familiar with the conse- quence of the marriage of unfit persons, the health of a prospec- tive husband or wife will exert a more and more powerful influence and that love will move within a narrower range and reason in a 1 wider.
 It will be observed that Mir. Mabon does not exclude love | from his highly educated, sensi- tive and responslbility-acknow- lodging society. He restricts it's field somewhat by extending the province of reason. Nor is this a mere dream. Moso persons have knowledge of cases in which | strong passions have been curbed | and the natural desires of those possessed by them restrained | the operation or a realization of physical or mental unftness for their fuIfiIlment. One of Dr. Doyle's stories is based is based on an incident of this nature, and we presume that scarcely a medical man on the roster is un- with cases of the kind.
 What the Medico-P Psychological association has done is to ack- the impotency of law bring about a condition that can be attained only through educa- ton. If other societies would recognize, as it does, that all progress is not measured by statutory enactments, a good many mischievous laws would soon cease to cumber the brooks; md were the money expended n intellectual efforts to enforce hem devoted to the cause of the advent of ideal conditions might be brought ap- oreciably closer.

WHO DID WRITE SHAKESPEARE
Not Shakespeare or Bacon, but John
russell, Is the Latest Theory
Put Forth.

Another theory as to the identity
OF the ideal personality around which
Shakespeare wrote many of his Sou
nets is advanced in a volume in which
nobody would expect to find ii. The
volume is cheap reprint of a six
teenth century devotional work, The
Triumph Over Death" by the Veneer
able Robert Southwell, a Jesuit priest.
The editor, j, w. Trotman, pro-
pounds the startling theory that
Southwell is the friend celebrated in
Shakespeare. The beautiful youth
OF the sonnets was a Jesuit, tortured
by Topclitfe, imprisoned in the Tower
for three years and finally dragged on
hurdle to Tyburn and hanged.
But neither Shakespeare nor Ba,
con, Mr.. Trotman holds, wrote the i'm
mortal sonnets and plays. According
to him they are the work of John
Trussell, member Of a family resi-.
