RAVAGES OF "BLACK DEATH"
Bubonic Plague, Proved to Have Been
Transmitted by Rat and Flea, Is
Being Controlled.

Bubonic plague is n Of the oldest
enemies of mankind and it used to be
called the black death on account OF
the black spots that came on the body
during the disease.
It is now supposed that many of the
great plaques of history were OF the
bubonic variety, and thousands died
during each great epidemic. Even in
comparatively recent times 10000 died
of it in Bombay. India.
AS is now well known, the disease
is a rat disease. and as soon as the
mode of transmission became known
it was studied and is now controlled,
says an exchange.
Bubonic plague is transmitted by
the rat lea-the rat being the first
host, as scientists say.
The attack is an acute infection.
caused by a special germ given by the
bite Of a flea, in precisely the same
way as both malaria and yellow fever
are transmitted by mosquitoes.
This special kind of flea seems to
prefer the rat as a place OF attack.
although in California this same kind
of flea is found on ground squirrels.
Bubonic plague is fatal to the rats
themselves and when a rat dies the
feas at one attach themselves to
some other living animal. apparently
preferring either cats or dogs to hui
man beings. In fact. the finding OF
an unsual number of dead rats IN any
place where bubonic plague is sus-
pected is one of the first indications
Of it's possible presence.
Now. while there are known to be
several kinds of rats. the black and
the brown are the most common.
Brown rats live in cellars, while
black ones seem to prefer to live in
the parts of a house above the ground
floor. Bubonic plague often breaks
out I'm seaport towns, being brought
there by rats in cargoes of grain. We
know that the a~neients knew bubonic
plague and suffered terribly from it's
ravages, and the fact that the cat was
held by the Egyptians as a sacred ami
NAL is traced to the protection from
rats afforded to houses where cats
were kept.
The disease commences with a
raging fever, headache and complete
prostration. and small dark spots ap-
pearing upon the skin. These spots
were called plague spots. Buboes on
swellings In the region of the groin
appear. 1t is extremely malignant
and recovery is very rare, mortality
reaching so or 80 per cent.
NEGOTIATIONS reduce the chances OF
! subsequent infection four-fifths, and
include the chance of recovery.
The great fire in London in 1866 de-
stroyed thousands of infected rats and
thus relieved England of the bubonic
plague, which had been very frequent
there since 1850.

His Early Reputation.

When Mr.. Lloyd-George was a young
country solicitor in Wales, he was rid

came upon a little Welsh girl trudging

the way along the future statesman, al
though he tried hard to engage her
in conversation, could not get her to
say anything more than a timid Yes"

Some days afterward the little girls
