VIII Develop Island Property.

Evidently there 10 n man in Eng
land who is not seriously disturbed by
the idea that the ownership Of large
estates will progressively give way to
the division Of land into small hold
ings, at any rate Lord Leverholme has
not hesitated to purchase Lewis island.
which, next to Great Britain and Ire
land, is the largest Of the British
isles. Lewis island covers some ITO
square miles, OF the west coast of
Scotland, and has a present population
Of about 10000 people. This: however,
1t is said, the new owner regards as
quite an inadequate population for his
island, which he thinks should reason
ably support 100000. His fdea is to
make his property the center Of the
British fishing business, and he has al
ready shown hts ability on the Mersey.

RABIES PREVALENT
IN LOCAL CANNES

The most successful method of COM
batting rabies among dogs and thereby
doing away with mad dogs is for the
cGners of dogs to muZzle them when
they run at large, or keep them tied
in the back yards, according to the
opinion of F. A. Mantel, city chemist,
The stray ours that roam the streets
are also a menace and to combat rabies
the authorities should see to it that
these mongrels are killed, Mr.. Mantel
declared. He believes every city of any
size should have a dog catcher ami
should take up all dogs not wearing a
dog license and every dog running at
large that is not lnuzzled.
The state undertook to combat rabies
with a three months quarantine dur
ing which period all dog owners would
be prosecuted IL they failed or permit
ted their dogs to run on the streets or
country highways unmuzzled. TWO OF
the guarantees have been put Into ef-
feet but were lightly enforced.

according to Mr.. Mantel. Dogs bitten
by rabid animals show symptoms Of
weeks If bitten about the head and
within three or four weeks to 80 days,
generally, If bitten on the body. The
same rule applies as to hydrophobla
among humans. Usually a person is
considered safe 80 days after having
been bitten by a rabid animal. How
ever rabies has been known to develop
in a dog eleven and a half months after
infection and the English quarantine on
dogs Is six months.
The city chemist advises tests Of the
brains Of all dogs biting persons, as
a dog may appear normal when biting
a person. and still be afflicted with the
first stages of rabies.
