shirts From Trees.

It is comforting at least to know that the sad Song of the Shirt does not apply to all parts of the world. In the forests of Oronoko. situated on the slope of New Granada, nature has pro vided what serves as ready made shirt for the natives. It is obtained from the marina tree, d species of uop- ical palm, which has thin. fbrous red bark. When a native wants a shirt he simply cuts piece Of one of these trees about eighteen inches in diameter and takes off the bark. man. aging so as not to cut it in any way. and thus obtains hollow cylinder of flexible bark somewhat resembling a rough sack without any bottom. He then makes small slit in each side for his arms to go through and puts it on It is only during the rainy season, however, that natives conform to the requirements of civilization sufficiently to wear garments of any descript tion- =

GRINDERS VACCINE
 NOT sATIsFACToRK. Department of Agriculture Advises Killing of Infected Horses and Safeguarding the We'll Horses From Infection as the
 Better Method

Il ders vaccine is not effective in rem dering horses immune from this dam, gerous disease is the conclusion reach ed by specialists of the Bureau of An tcal Industry, U. s. Department of Az ricuIture. as a result of extensive ex- periments with horses and other am imaIs. The experiments show that while mallein is highly effective as a means to discover the presence Of glanders in horse. neither mailetn nor glanders vaccine has shown any positive value in curing animals sick with gianders
 In the experiments 1 2, iaorses were conditions that yaccinatad and un- vaccinated horses could be brought into contact with good discharging case of glanders. MaI1ein and eye tests were used carefully to deter mine the results The investigators report the following conclusions which appear in a professional paper published by the Department entitled stImmunization Tests with Glanders Vaccine.''
 The results obtained by these in vestigations appear to be sufficient to demonstrate the unsatisfactory re- suits of this method of immunization. Of the Il 3 irnmunized animals, con tracted the disease from natural ex- R when it is considered that all animals were aged and kept most of the time during the exposure out of doors Of the remaining inTnunized horses. l died of inpAction after the second vaccination, while the other ani- malls were killed August 20. 1913, in order to ascertain by post mortem ex- animation the possibility of glanders existing in these animals which had given positive serum reaction, but which had returned to normal. In artificial infections of the vaccinated animals they showed no resistance whatsoever, as both vaccinated horses the disease from touching the Schnei- derian membrane with a platinum loop which had been touched to a growth of glanders bacilH For the present, therefore, it seems advisable to abstain from inmunizing horses by this method, as a practice of this kind may do more harm than goed Owners having horses which are sup posedIy immunized would naturally become careless, thinking their ani- malls were resistant to the disease, and thus even a better opportunity would be offered for the propagation of the disease than if the horses were not vaccinated. Furthermore, the fact that the blood of vaccinated animals can not be utilized for serum tests for two or three months after the in- jections is also a great disadvantage in the eradication of the disease.
 As a result of this preliminary work it appears that the. control and eradication of islanders must still be dependent upon the concentration of our efforts in eliminating infected horses and the adoption of proper precautions against the introduction of infected animals into stables free I fr.rr a N ed in Germany, Austria, and Canada by these methods have proved very encouraging and no doubt if executed in the same spirit in this country a marked reduction in the cases of islanders would result.
