How Child PLAQUE Is Spread.

DIR. Hans Zinsser, professor of bac-
teriology of Columbia college, after in
vestigating a half a dozen possible
methods of carrying the contagion of
infantile paralysis, practically elm
mates all others and puts the re-
sponsibility upon man himself. This
may be direct or indirect. The indi-
rect is the more deadly. The virus
can pass directly from the upper respi-
ratory tract-the nose, mouth and
pharynx-of one individual to that of
another. This, from the nature of cpl
demic diseases, however, serves to
spread the infection in but a compara-
lively slight degree. Intestinal infec-
ton with food is another mode or
transmission, the Importance of which
Doctor Zinsser, as the result of his
experiments, is ready to discount.
Monkeys have been inoculated with
the diseases in this manner only With

Toll and Darcy went away a truly
wretched being. Then he did wise
thing. He went to Elva and her sister,
Beulah, and told the whole story.
"You need have no worry on account

still love you and will marry you or
nobody. But oh! if this hideous old
monster should really wreck your
life !" and poor Elva burst into tears,
utterly crushed.
"We must be wise as SerpentS and
battle the enemy" pronounced Beulah,
the thinker, and out of discussion and
reflection came her suggestion Of Darcy
going to visit his old friend, Rolfe Lee,
to see if he could help him out of his
dilemma.
Meanwhile Darcy saw Elva only on
secret occasions and Gerald Toll was
tolerated as visitor to the Boyd
home. This was in accordance with
the suggestion of Lee, who at once
brushed up on his oldtime detective
skill and started in on the case, some
what baff1ed as to how exactly he was
to circumvent the Tolls.
Only by discovering a flaw in the
record, business or methods of the old
skinflint, Lee was assured could he
hope to arrive at starting point. He
fancied a path was open to him when
by q reformed burglar he had known
he was made aware of the fact that
three years previous old Toll had been
the principal in the operations of a
criminal gang, acting as their fence, or
the party who financed them and dis
posed of their stolen plumber.
But Lees informant had only vague
evidence of what he barely suspected
and, after an investigation, Lee was
satisfied that Toll had long since
severed his connection with the GRIM
inal band.
One evening Darcy was strolling past
the home of old Toll, when he noticed
its sordid proprietor come hastily down
the steps and proceed along the street
In rapid and excited manner. He
determined to follow him. Toll pro-
ceeded to a section of the town given
over to the slums. He entered sec
ond-rate lodging house, made some in
uuiries and assembled to room ON its
upper floor. Knowing the shady char
acter of the place, Lees suspicious and
interest were fully aroused.
Ten minutes later Lee stood outside
a door of room beyond which he
knew Toll was an inmate. He peered
over the transom from a convenient
stairway, he edged close to the loose,
rickety door to catch the CONVERSE

Lono, Hot March.

Under a scorching sun that at times
drove the mercury up to 40 degrees
Fahrenheit, 1000 soldiers of the
Japanese army, stationed in Formosa
and the Pescadores, made a 12-day
march in Formosa. Only three cases
Of sunstroke were reported. The first
nine days were spent in marching, and
the troops actually covered more than
100 miles. The last three days were
spent in maneuvers. With view to
finding the best clothing to protect
soldiers from the heat, the soldiers
were allowed to wear any costume
they pleased. Some wore helmets,
some straw hats, some wore an ordi-
nary uniform with hole on either
side. or knitted undershirt, or thin
kimono; some wore their heavy boots;
some tabi. Besides their clothing, the
best food and drink for soldiers I'M
