Mont Blanc has been accepted o.
extending 1882 feet above sea level
just So feet short Of three miles. As
matter of fact its height has varied
from time to time. The highest Wis
ible stone In the mountain was IN
feet below the top. the crest itself
being made up Of an unknown thick
ness of ice and consolidated snow.
This cap becomes slightly lower. In
summer, due to melting, but is re-
newed in winter.
Partly hidden among lesser peaks
and foothills. Mont Blanc was prac-
tically unknown to western Europe
until 1914. At first local mountain
climbers and tourists visited only the
lower ends Of the glaciers-among
them the famous Mer de Glace-near
the French village of Chamonix. For
more than quarter of a century a
standing reward for anyone who
would discover route to the top,
was uncollected. Finally on August
8. 1886, the crest was reached by a
peasant guide, Jacques Balmat. He
became more than locally famous and
received the quixotic gift Of patent
OF nobility from the king Of Sardinia.

struggle for being squeezed between
the Austro- German armies on the
north, and other central powers ter
ces attacking on the south.
Moldavia had approximately one
fourth Of the population and one
fourth Of the area Of the Rolmania
Of 1914. The population. is . little
less than two and a quarter million,
and the area little less. than 1900
square miles. To the west Of It lie
Transylvania and the Austrian crown
lands Of Bukowina. To the east lies
Bessarabia, with the river Pruth mark
ing the boundary the entire distance.
On the south is Wallachia, the other
wing Of the Roumanian kingdom.
The Sereth river divides Moldavia
into eastern and western sections.
flowing the entire length of, the prin-
cipality along the foothills Of the
Carpathian mountains. Eastern Mol
davia, composed mainly of the high
plateau lying between the Pruth and
the sereth, is, pr9xfmately rs miles
about 80 miles. Western Moldavia
is entirely mountainous, the crest Of
the Carpathians forming the boundary
between it and Austria Hungary.
The history of tile principality Of
Moldavia is Of striking interest. It
was founded about the middle Of the
fourteenth century by the Wallach
Volvode Bogden. It soon grew to be
a large state, embracing the present
Moldavia, Bukowina, and Bessarabia.
Poland and Hungary were both rivals
for favor at the Moldavian court, with
neither able permanently to assert its
overlordship. Stephen the Great ruled
Moldavia from 1857 to 1904, and de-
fed the Turks, winning signal vic
tory over them at Rakova in 1876.
Gradually growing stronger, however.
the Moslems succeeded again, under
Stephen the Greats successor, in es-

Although the Turks never settled
the country, they proceeded to build
fortresses, and thus managed to hold
their ground.
Up to 1921 the country was gov
erned by hospodars appointed by the
sultan from the families of Greek aris-
tocrats. In that year native princes
were once more made to head the gov
eminent, but in 1929, Russia having
gained victory over Turkey, was ac-
corded protectorate over Moldavia
under the treaty Of Adrianople. This
treaty was terminated by the Crimean
war and the treaty Of Paris. There
after, the powers agreed to set up the
two principalities of Moldavia and
Wallachia, which in their turn decid-
ed, in 1S59-61, that they would unite
under one head and become one cOun-
try.

CONQUERING BUBONIC.
PLAGUE IN THE "A,
PHILIPPINES

Discovery last summer of num-
Der of isolated cases Of the bubonic
plague in the United States lends in-
terest to the following communication
to the National Geographic society,
describing how the disease was con-
quered by American medical author
tiles in the Philippines.
"The United States drove the bu-
bonic plague out of the Philippines
as completely us 1t swept the yell
low fever out of Cuba. u.
"Bubonic plague was discovered at
Manila December &c, 1899, and slowly
but steadily increased up to Deem
Der, 1901. The deaths in 1900 num-
bered 1919, and i'll 1901 reached a
total of 432. The disease was at it's
worst each year during the hot dry
months of March. April, and May.
nearly or quite disappearing during
September. October, November and
December. It will be noted that the
number of cases in 1901 exceeded that
in 1900 by 200, while the number Of
/ deaths was about two and half
times rs great, and the percentage
of mortality among persons attacked
increased from 1914 in 1900 to 91.7
In 1901.
"On account Of. the important part
which house rats are. known to play
in the distribution Of bubonic plague,

rated against these rodents in Manila.
Policemen, sanitary inspectors, and
specially appointed rat-catchers were
furnished with traps and poison. and
both traps and poison were distribute
ed to private individuals under proper
restrictions. A bounty was paid for
all rats turned over to the health au-
thorities and stations were estab.

out the city where they could be re-
ceived. Each rat was tagged with
