MANY PRECIOUS
SEISMIC DISTURBANCES

Java in the Malay Archipelago,
is the seat of government for the
Dutch East Indies. Created by
vioent sismo convusions, it is sub
jected from year to year to similar

ficient in times past to have de-
stroyed much life and property.

erupted and caused many deaths,
variously estimated at some $4,000
to $4,000. Besides Kalut there are
many active volcanoes in the is
land, with it's $4,000 square miles.
Some of these seismic disturbances
have been accompanied by heavy
floods and landslideG.

THE RADIO INDUSTRY.

The growth of radio has been unexampled, The industry did business of $12O,OOO,OOO ln 1923 Statisticians estimate the business for 1924 at $350,000,000. Progress Of thls klnd can not be made without inherent merit and q genuine public appeal. Radio is approach ing the status of utility. Doubtless the ma jority who went to Madison Square Garden were more or less technically informed about radio and appreciated the scientific advances offered by the manufacturers; but the mass of people who listen in nightly, those who are called "BCL's" by the radio amateurs, could not attend the fair, and probably had no de- sire to. Their number has been placed at 2O'- O00OOO It is this latter class on whom the radio industry depends for it's largest volume of sales. The average man or woman nowa- days does not regard a radio receiver as a plaything, but rather as an investment in free instruction and entertainment which produces most satisfactory dividends.-New York Her ald-Tribune.

Plague In Bad Form

In other times, and not so long ago, the news coming from Los Angeles of an out break there of the plague in its pneumonia form would have justified the most serious alarm, Of all the maladies that afflict hu- manity, none, perhaps, is more to be feared, and none certainly has a higher mortality, for that of pneumonia plague is close to 100 per cent.
 And while not what used to be known as contagious, pneumonia plague is ln the highest degree infectious. This is distinction with out much real difference, however, and when disease is called contagious rather than in fectious it means little more than that in the former case the methods of its transmission from victim to victim still is unknown. Mere nearness to a sufferer from pneumonia plague lis not in itself dangerous, but the nearness, when adequate precautions are not taken to avoid the inhaling or the swallowing of the bacteria which the patient scatters in vast numbers, makes contraction of the disease al most certain.
 In Los Angeles it safely can be assumed that the little epidemic will be restricted mar rowly and soon stamped out. That is what happened when this plague appeared in Oak Hand in 1919 Then there were thirteen cases, and only one recovered, but the health au- thorities were prompt to act as well as ln- telligent sanitarians, and the fire of infection was extinguished at once.
 1 The greatest of the recent epidemics were those of 1910 and 1911 in Manchuria, with 60 ,OOO deaths, and in Shansi, further south, seven years later, with 16,000. Harbin was attacked in 1921, but corrective and preyen- tive activities there were more successful, and there were only 5000 deaths in a popula- tion of 100000. To show how much the disease is feared by those who understand it best, the doctors in Harbin coming in con- tact with the patients wore special costume of mask, overalls, a hood, high boots and rubber gloves, and all of these things always were sterilized before they were worn again.
