HOW RATS LIVE
 AND SPREAD DISEASE

On September 25, 1914, two plague infected rats were taken in snap traps at 1913 Magazine Street, New Orleans, Lonisiana The premises situated there. a combined stable, junk ware house, and residence, were entirely surrounded by a. high brick walIs
 Owing to the condition of the place and the necessity for immediate thor ough rat-proofings the premises were vacated and ordered closed pending completion of work.
 The residential portion of the build-5 ing was fumigated with eighty pounds of sulphur and the entire premises disinfected by spraying with a, per cent solution of Kerosene emulsion.
 The following morning the work of demolition was begun with the intent of thoroughly destroying rat har- boring places from ground 70 roof. When the ground floor of the resi- dence was removed, dfty-four rats were killed; of these twenty were. plague infected. Appreciating the ease with which plague may be trans mitted by the heas from rat to man, it seems remarkable that people should have lived over such a hot bed of infection without contracting the disease. This is accounted for, because of the large number of rats that accommodated the excess flea population from dead rodents. That the infection was of recent origin was shown by the number of plague in fected rats still alive It was Ike 1 living over a volcano which was on the eve of eruption.
 l All evidences of a stable were re- moved and on the bare ground was laid the concrete floor Of a thoroughly rat-proof structure for the stock From this floor to the ceiling of the
 galvanized iron feed room on the l floor above no effort was spread to make the. building iTnpervious to rats seeking to gain entrance by gnawiug, borrowing, climbing or jumping.
 The stableman's residence was next paved and the walls He'd with con crete to such a height that even the father of all rats could not have found entrance.
 In the junk house which occupied the right wing of the same building. thirty-sfx rats were killed, of which sixteen were plague infected. Dogs were an efficient aid in killing these
 When floors were torn up, rats scat tered in all directions
 The work of rat-proong continued steadily and the premise was fast l assuming a satisfactory appearance
 when most Interesting discovery. intervened.
 After the death of all the xats, mice were frequently seen and caught. These were being infected. The fIeas which escaped death with the rats were compelled to seek other hosts 1 and ethey penetrated the recess and creVices in the brick walls which under ordinary conditions had been l safe refuge for the mice This @il- illustrates .forcibly the necessity for

GADsDEN PURCHASE

That part. off the States of New Mexico and Arizona which has lately
 been the scene. of military operati ons to protect the border became United States territory sixty-o one years ago
 today. Dec 30, 1853. The Mexican war and the consequent great acquisi- ton of territory by the United States left the boundary question still un- settled, and it was not until the year 1853 was drawing to a close that the controversy was ended by what was called the "Gadsden purchase. This consisted of 45,535 square miles Of territory, comprising that portion of Arizona and New Mexico lying south of the GiIa. The United States paid $10.000, 00o for this vast stretch of country, which was then considered practically worthless. The deal nego- tiated by Gen. James Gadsden. then United States minister to Mexico, was widely criticised. Americans accused the government of paying too much, and Mexicans in general were averse to selling at all The popular disap- proval Of the settlement of the bound ary dispute led in 1855 to the banish- ment of Santa Ana as a traitor to Mexico.

 He was born in Nashua in 1867. educated in the Nashua schools and in the class of 1883; he was one of the earliest teachers in the evening school of the city and also taught in Hudson. After serving a short cIerkship in the postoffice he entered the employ Of the NasIua Iron and Steel Go, going with the concern when it removed to Bridgeport.
 For many years he was the active member of the Bridgeport Board Of Education. later serving, on the po- lice commission, and for the past four years had been judge of probate for the Bridgeport district, and in the discharge of his duties and trusts of official life his fidelity and constancy of purpose never failed.
 While running for Congress, Judge Ha1Ien was considered one of the best campaign speakers in Connecticut and his services have constantly been in demand as a speaker at public func- tions.
 A man of courteous manner fine disposition and Iovable nature he made very close friends and his ac- quaintance was most extensive, both in his native and home cities and in fact throughout New England.

One of his latest acts was the giving of a, sum of money for furnishing a. room in the new Mem oria1 hospital.
