Our knowledge of the connection Of
insects with disease Is very modern
acquisition. In his presidential ad.
dress to the Washington Academy OF
Sciences, DR.. L. o. Howard noted that
standard medical works Of score OF
years ago made no mention Of the sub
ject, but recent literature records 226
different disease germs as known 10
have been carried by insects to man OF
animals, 81 organisms as known to be
parasitic in insects but not known to
be transmitted, and 2S2 species of in
sects as discovered causes or carriers
of diseases of man or animals. The
transportation by wind Of the body
louise, the carrier Of typhus fever, is
among late discoveries to which many
writer's have given attention. Tick
paralysis is another novel subject, the
disease occurring in Australia, Africa
and North America, and IL cases have
been reported by single Oregon physi'
clan. Progressive paralysis Of motor
but not sensory nerves follows the at
tachment of the tick. The disease is
not infectious, and 1t has not been de-
cided whether it is due to a specific
organism or to nerve shock. Infantile
paralysis Is believed to be one of the
diseases not carried by insects.

Berlin Announcement of Attack
Tells of Teuton Success
at Three Points.
ROME Is CALMLY CONFIDENT
Rome Tells of Large Concentration
of Enemy, Including Many Ger
mans, but Says italians Are
"Steady and Prepared"

Berlin.-German and Austrian ar
mics in concert have struck the ltal-
an armies on the northern end OF the
tsonzo line in a new offensive. Tney
nave captured thousands OF prisoners
and occupied advanced positions OF
he enemy.
Announcement of the attack was
contained in this bulletin of the war
office:
Fighting activity has been percep-
tibly revived in the Tyrolian, Carnla
and Isonzo regions. German artillery
took part in the artillery battle, and
German and Austro-Hungarian 1ntan-
srymen captured. the foremost Italian
positions near Fitch and Tolmlno and
in the northern portion of the Balm
sizza plateau"
The evening statement only says:
con the Italian front the combined
attacking operations are taking tneir
intended course. Up to the present
some thousands of prisoners have
been reported"
A front of more than twenty miles
is represented by this Teutonlc dow
Fitch is about II miles north OF Toll
mino. 1t is near the headwaters OF
the Isonzo and on the main road
which leads to Udine, the Italian
headquarters.
It was announced from Zurich OF
October 2 that forty divisions of Ger
man troops, amounting to at least 52O,
600 men, had been released from the
Russian front, probably for actlor
against the Italians. 1t was expected
that the Teuton drive, when it came
would be launched from the Trentlno
to the east of the Lago di Garda, into
the region of Veneto or west OF 1t into
Lombardy, aimed in either case, as
was the Austrian offensive OF June
1916, at the observation-disclosures
Venice railway system, which largely
supplies the Italian armies on the
Isonzo. Since then, however, some Of
the tactical Importance of such drive
has been lost through the opening VI
of the lower Isonzo to supplies via the
Adriatic.
The present concentration of Teutor
troops is believed to be due to the
visit of Emperor Charles to the front
in August, followed by a council o.
war at Laibach.

A new metal has been discovered in

Columbia by Andrew G. French, and it
has been named Canadium. 1t is allied
to the platinum group and occurs pure
in the form of grain and short crystal
line rods, and also an alloy, and assays
give three ounces or less to the ton.
Canadium has brilliant luster, and,
like gold and silver and platinum, does
not oxidize when exposed to the air; it
is softer than platinum and it's melting
