Flyinu Sickness.

Flying sickness" in its more essen
tial particulars Is rather removed from
caisson disease and is not comparable
in the strict sense with mountain sick
ness, in spite of the fact that some OF
the symptoms are more or less identi-
cal. says the Lancet. The pilot who
is lifted from his machine after fast
volplane in a semiconscious condi-
tion, falling thereafter into deep
sleep, shows phenomenon not met
with either in mountain sickness or In
caisson disease. Evidently there are
effects on the functions of the nervous
system which are attributable to very
rapid descent through space, from low
to higher air pressures, no doubt, but
in which the alteration of pressure is
probably only one factor, and that per.
haps, not the most important.

RAVAGES or "BlACK DEATH"
Bubonc Plague, Proved to Have Been
Transmitted by Rat and Flea, Is
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 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 flea-the rat being the first
host, as scientists say.
The attack is an acute infection,
caused by special germ given by the
bite of 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
fleas at once attach themselves to
some other living animal apparently
preferring either cats or dogs to hu-
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 house above the ground
floor. Bubonic plague often breaks
out in seaport towns, being brought
there by rats in cargoes of grain. We
know that the ancients knew bubonio
plague and suffered terribly from its
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
raging fever, headache and complete
prostration, and small dark spots ap
pearing upon the skin. These spots
were called plague spots. Buboes or
swellings in the region of the groin
appear 1t is extremely malignant
and recovery is very rare, mortality
reaching so or 80 per cent.
Inoculations 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 bubonio
plague, which had been very frequent
there since 1885,

clapping John paternally on the back
again.
The railroad dearly wanted that
piece of land. 1t could not get it at
any price. The public clamor against
it frightened the town council into
refusing to negotiate. And without
1t as terminal the railroad would
have to tunnel under half mile OF
mountain to bring its goods into the
city.
John was the only man who knew
the facts from end to end. A precious
year, or two, even, would be required
to train another lawyer up to the
point of knowledge that John had ac'
quired from his dead father, snatched
away when the case had at last been
prepared. Wade was keenly disap

Laon, behind the German lines, is
one of the pleasantest towns of north
ern France, says a description issued
by the National Geographic society.
Founded by the Celts, it felt the early
waves of Teutonic invasion more than
1000 years ago; and greater and
lesser waves have followed in
varying succession ever since. With
Laon as base, Celt and Roman car
ried civilization across the Rhine;
taught the rude warrior folk to the
north the reinements of ancient EN-
pire; and brought them weights,
money, letters, improved weapons,
manufactured products, and the glow
ing wine of the southland.
Remigus, who baptized Chlodwig,
appointed bishop to Laon almost be-

Alpine Europe had it dawning. The
Normans swept over the town In SS2,
and the next few centuries saw many
another horde Of wasters follow the

walls and towers, and garrisoned by

Henry w reduced the city in 1894;
and, in 1914, the citadel on the fiat
rock on which the city stands was
successfully defended by Russian and
Prussian soldiers against the de-

In 1870, here in Laon, was performed
one Of the most renowned Of all the

both sides had been heard, and the
case closed for judgment. Suddenly
one of the pleaders got up and ad'

Stanyon suffered it for some time, but
losing patience, he also stood up, and
addressing the court, said: Your
Honor, l would beg with all respect to

friend opposite is entirely out of order
in addressing the court, and If | may
be permitted to say so, the court has
