6ubonic Plague Proved to Have Been
Transmitted by Rat and Flea, 10
Being Controlled.


Bubonic plague is one 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.
1t 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 we'll known, the disease
is a rat disease, and as soon as the
mode of transmission became known
1t was studied and is now controlled.
says an exchange.
Bubonic plague is transmitted by
the rat fiea--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 rat dies the
fleas at once 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 its 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 house above the ground
door. Bubonic plague often breaks
out in seaport towns, being brought
there by rats in cargoes Of grain. Ws
know that the ancients knew bubonis
plague and suffered terribly from its
ravages. and the fact that the cat wa.
held by the Egyptians as sacred ami
NAL is traced to the protection from
rats afforded to houses where cat
we're kept.
The disease commences with
raging fever. headache and compiled
prostration, and small dark spots ap
pearing upon the skin. These spot
we're called plague spots Buboes o
swellings In the region Of the groil
appear. It is extremely malignan
and recovery is very rare, mortalit
reaching so or 80 per cent.
Inoculations reduce the chances Q

The great fire in London in 1866 d.
stroyed thousands OF infected rats an
thus relieved England OF the buboni
