iMAJ.-CEN. CORCAS
 DEAD IN LONDON

LONDON, July 6.-Major General William c. Gorgas, former Surgeon General of the United States Army, died here Saturday following sev- eral weeks illness.
 Gen G.orgas was considered one of the worlds foremost authorities on military medicine and surgery. He fought and defeated the malaria mosquito in Panama. and thus made possible the building of that great waterway. He 0islodged yellow fever from it's century old strong. hold in Havana and under the di- rection of the United States Govern ment and the Rockefeller Founda- tion superintended campaigns against that dread disease in Central Amer ica, Peru and Ecuador
 Received High Honors
 At the invitation of the British Government he went to South Africa in 1917, to establish sanitary con ditions in the Rand, as the result of which he received high honors from the medical profession in London and Oxford University conferred a degree upon him.
 In the last ten years his services were sought to give battle to plagues in many parts of the world. When the typhus epidemic began in Ser bia in the war, an effort was made to have him undertake a campaign against it but at the time he was needed to direct the medical and surgical wark for the American army in France
 He was decorated and made a commander of the Legion of Honor and knighted by King George of Eng land, the latter for, as the King expressed it to him, making possible the construction of the great canal
 PestiIence Defeated
 In the days of the old French company which attempted to build the canal, tropical diseases claimed one fourth of all it's workers. The French were powerless before this pestilence.
 When General Gorgas became geh- eral sanitary officer of the Canal Commission, the annual death toll had been reduced, but it was still difficult to obtain the vast army of workmen necessary and to care for those disabled by malaria, vel low fever and dysentery
 In nine years by systematic cam paign for the destruction of the mosquito, Gen .Gorgas virtually drove these diseases from the Is. thmus. When he gave up the work to accept Surgeon General of the Army in 1914. deaths among the canal workers had been reduced to per thousand annually. Congress- in recognition of his achievement made him a Major General and the world hailed him as one of the great men of medical science.
 In recognition of his services he was made a member of the Isthmian Commission and served as such ,lrl til he was made Surgeon General

"FloWer of the Devil"

Flower of the Devil" is q strange
growth upon trees found on the sides
of Fuego volcano in Guatemala, one
of the few places in the world where
it is known to occur. 1t has beautiful
foliation, veining and stem, and appears
full blown when just unfolding from
the bud. This effect is formed by n
parasite which enters the wood and
dies after eating portions of it away,
Il process which in time produces the
results described. Tradition, however,
ascribes a different origin. Years ago,
when the Spaniard ruled the country.
fair Indian maiden was supposed

Woodpecker a "Rome Bird"

Among the natural guardians Of the
trees are the wOodpeckers. which
gather their food as they creep round
the trunks and branches. As the food
of the woodpecker is nearly as abund-
ant in winter as in summer. they are
seldom migratory. They never forage
in fiOcks. like some of the granivOrous
birds whose food is more plentiful
but scatter out over wide areas. and
thus better their fare. They bear the
same relation To other birds that take
their food from trees as Snipes and
woodcocks bear 10 thruSheS and
quailS-that is. they bore into the
wood as the snipe bores into the
earth, while thrushes and quais seek
their SuStenance on the surface OF

to any native weapon, was made from
the dried skin of the stingaree, or ray
