CHAPTER XII.
The News From Africa.

1t took the better part OF three eve
nings to answer her letter, and the
writing OF it gave Sabron a vast
amount OF pleasure and some tender
sorrow. 1t made him feel at once SO
near to this lovely woman and at once
SO far away. In truth there is great
difference between q spahi on an Al.
rican desert, and a young American
heiress dreaming in her chintz-covered
bedroom in a chateau in the Midi OF
France.
Notwithstanding, the young Ameri.
can heiress felt herself as much alone
In her chintz-covered bedroom and as
desolate, perhaps more 90, than did
Sabron in his tent. Julia Redmond
felt, too. that she was surrounded by
people hostile to her friend.
Sabron's letter told her Of Pitchoune
and was written as only the hand Of a
charming and imaginative Frenchman
can write letter. Also, his pent-up
heart and his reserve made what he
did say stronger than II perhaps he
could have expressed 1t quite frankly
Julia Redmond turned the sheets
that told of Pitchoune's following his
master. and colored with Joy and pleas

tears at the end, where Sabron said ::

plenty, from quiet and security, into the

Satisfied With Proof

This is regarded as proof that the
suspected serum actually was infected.
Why the standard tests used on 81
animals failed to reveal this fact is a
matter for scientific investigation and
the psychologists of the department,
are now at work upon the problem.
At the time of manufacture, one-half
of one per cent of carbolic acid was
mixed with the serum to act as pre-
servative. 1t is now believed that the
earbolic acid, acting as q germicide,
may have attenuated or partially de-
stroyed the virus to such an extent that
what have previously been considered
safe tests failed to establish the pres
ence of the infection. 1t is also pos.
sible that the virus instead of being
disseminated throughout the entire
mass of serum, may have become ag-
CULTIVATED. This has been known to
occur with germs of other diseases
The result would be the formation of
the serum fluid into isolated clumps
of foot.and-mouth disease virus, while
the bulk of the serum remained free
from these tiny masses. If this were
the case, it is obvious that certain ami
mails inoculated with the serum would
develop foot.and,mouth disease and
others would escape. Up to the pres
ent, it should be stated, scientists have
not been able to identify the germ of
foot-andmOuth disease although the
economic importance of the plague in
Europe has caused it to be studied ex.
haustively for many years.

Serum Was Affected

During the ensuing six months the
disease, which had spread widely over
the country, was effectively combated
by the slaughter of all exposed herds.
1t was then decided that the law re.
quired the department to comply with
the request of the Chicago Serum com
pany for test of the serum in order
that if ii were found stale, it might be
placed upon the market. The National
Serum law gives the department no au.
thority to refuse to permit the sale of
u serum, unless it is contaminated, dan
gerous, or worthless.
Arrangements we're accordingly made
by the Chicago Serum company for a
test under the supervision of the de.
partment. Forty.one thousand cubic
centimeters Of the serum were thor.
oughly mixed and rebottled, and on
June 30 samples were injected into
eight small hogs. Two check.hogs were
also included in the test. Although in.
iections as large as 40 cubic cent?.
meters were used, it is certain that
none Of these hogs developed foot.and-
mouth disease. The test being thus
absolutely negative--that is to say no
indications Of the disease resulting

that il could ship out the serum TO It's

An official statement in regard to
the recent temperance in northern
Illinois of the foot-and-mouth disease
after it had been apparently stamped
out early in the year, was issued today
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. From this statement it
appears that the outbreak has now been
definitely traced to an antihog-cholera
serum prepared from the blood of hogs
infected with foot-and-mouth disease
but showing at the time the serum was
manufactured no symptoms of the con-
tagion. According to the statement,
the serum was thoroughly tested before
it was permitted to be placed upon the
market, and the tests failed to reveal
any evidence of contamination. After
the recurrence of the disease in 1lli-
nois, samples of the serum were tested
again and again by the Department of
Agriculture and also tested by tie
United States Public Health Service.
1t was not until the sixty-second ami.
NAL used in the tests had been inocu-
lated with the serum, however, that the
psychologists of the department were
able to produce any symptoms Of foot
and-mouth disease.

contest that is expected to prove one
of the hardest fought of the present
football season. The Tigers, counting
on the defeat of Harvard by Cornell,
are confident of vanquishing the Cam
bridge men today and believe, if they
do, the eastern football championship
will be theirs.
Betting, which was rather brisk
among the student followers of the two
elevens, was mostly at even money,
though in some quarters Princeton had
slight shade in the odds.
Attracted by the hope of seeing the
Orange and Black banners wave trium-
phant, old Princeton "grads" swarmed
into this little town today. Automo.
biles and special trains brought them
by the thousand and the campus was
the scene of the liveliest football iolli-
fication that has preceded any big game
at Princeton for years. The indica-
tions are that more than 10000 persons
will see the contest.

Tigers cohorts who seemed to fear the
prowess Of the Harvard captain more
than the rest Of the Crimson team com.
bined. Princetonians point out that
the educated toe of Tibbott, the Tiger
kicker, can be depended upon to drop
the ball over the goal posts from almost
any point inside the 40 yard line.
None of the coaches of either team
would venture prediction as to the
result Of the contest.

Was Pronounced Pure

In addition to these measures adopt
ed to control the spread of the dis.
ease, samples of the serum actually used
were procured from the owners of the
infected herds and also samples of the
remaining stock of the Chicago Serum
company. Pigs and calves, the ami
mails which are most susceptible to
foot-andmouth disease, were inoculat-
ed with these samples. The results
were again negative and after two ser.
les of tests had been made, the United
States Public Health service was asked
to conduct third series. This also
was negative.
Up to this time, therefore, four ser
les of tests had been made in which
total of SO animals had been used.
None of these so animals developed
foot-andmouth disease and the inocu-
lations afforded no evidence that the
serum was in any way contaminated.
Each subsequent series apparently only
confirmed the original test made be-
fore the serum was, permitted to be
placed upon the market. The fact re-
mained, however, that herds treated
commercially with the serum had de-
veloped oot-and.mouth disease. A
fifth test therefore was made and ten
days after inoculation, the sixty.sec
ond animal which had been used in the
tests, calf which had received thirty
cubic centimeters, developed character
istic LESSONS. The diagnosis of foot
and.mouth disease was subsequently
confirmed by the incubation of other
animals with material from the infect
ed calf.

Disease snread ouicklv

On November l this belief was
strengthened by the discovery Of the
disease in the cattle being exhibited at
the Dairy Show in the immediate vi
cinity Of the yards. In the yards prop
er, however, the first case did not ap-
pear until November 3. The next day
foot-and.mouth disease was found
among the hogs at the establishment Of
the Great Western Serum company.
This establishment was quarantinel at
once and at about the same time a pre-.
cautionary quarantine was also placed
upon another establishment, that of the
Chicago Serum company, located about
a mile away, although no actual cases
of the disease had been found at this
second establishment. At that time the
Chicago Serum company had on hand
approximately l01 900 cubic centime.
ters of anti-hog.cholera serum which
had been prepared late in October. All
of this serum was placed upder Off
cial seal by the inspectors Of the de-
partment and withheld from distribu.
tion.

To Doctor the Medicine

In the department, experiments are
now being vigorously prosecuted with
a view to discover u means of treat
ing serum at the time of its manufac-
ture which effectually will kill the vir.
us of foOt.and-mouth disease. The re.
suits so far attained are promising and
the department hopes that a success
full method will be evolved shortly. In
the meantime all the infected serum
in the hands Of the Chicago Serum com
pany has been destroyed without com.
pensation All other serum manufac-
tured in Chicago, which it was believed
might contain possibilities of danger
has likewise been destroyed. Further.
more, the department is prohibiting
the shipment Of any serum from licens
ed establishments in the districts that
are under quarantine for foot.ond
mouth disease.
