Fortunately, it is now believed that

from trypan-blue in much the same

from atoXyl. This new formula,
which has been available only few
months, has already proved to be
far superior to any previous efforts
to control this disease, and it is be-
lieved that further observation may
show that there is a period in the
life-cycle of the trypanosome in the
blood of the victim when it will be
particularly susceptible to the effects
of this drug, thus rendering the
treatment a cure.

Father Shoe-Beak,'

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, February 18.-The
giant stork "abu markub," or father
shoebeak," rarest and most fantastic
among living birds and looken upon
as a curious relic of prehistoric eras,
has at last been seen in its native
haunts by white men, and has been
induced to pose before a motion pic
ture camera. This is the accomplish
ment Of Bengt Berg, called "Sweden's
bird wizard" who has just returned
from Africa
Bengt Berg has devoted his life to
the study of birds and migratory
wild fowl in their habitats, especially
rare specimens. He seems to have
an almost uncanny knack of getting
on familiar terms with them by dint
of extreme patience and carefully
planned ruses. His latest exploit, the
filming of the "abu markub," was
preceded by weeks Of cruising on the
upper Nile. This discovery of the
strangest grid was made on an un-
named, almost impossible tributary
of the Nile. The bird has a body
somewhat like that of a European
stork, while the large bill reminds
one of the pelican. The eyes are
large and yellow. and his whole
aspect is that Of creature of fable.

TROPICAL AFRICA
IS SPLAGUE-R|DDEN
Deadly Germ of Sleeping
Sickness Held "Black Cloud"
0verhanging Civilization.

Sleeping sickness is probably one of
the blackeSt clouds overhanging the
civilization of tropical Africa today,
for the history and destiny of the
African continent has been and will
be very largely controlled by this
deadly disease.
The germ producing African sleep
ing sickness is a minute unicelluar
creature called trypanosome, belong
Ing to the lowest order of animal life
This germ is carried by the blood
sucking tsetse fly from the wild ami
mails of Africa to man and other sus-
ceptible creatures.
The tsetse fly is an elongate, dark
brown or yellowish- brown fly resem-
bling an ordinary housetly, but which
can easily be distinguished from
other flies by their position when at
rest; their wings are folded fiat, one
directly over the other straight down
the back like the blades of pair of
scissors.
Differs From All Other Flies.
This fly differs from all other flies
in that both sexes are greedy blood
suckers and in that they do not lay
eggs, as is the habit of other flies
but retain the single developing larva
within the body, noUriShing it by spe-
cial glands until it is full grown. The
larva is a yenowish- white creature
about one-third of an inch in length,
with a pair of dark knoblike pro-
tuberances at the posterior end. When
1t is born it Immediately hides itself
In loose soil or under dead leaves,
where it transforms to the pupa
stage, from which the fully devel-
oped fly energies within a period of
six weeks. This peculiar method of
reproduction makes any progress to-
ward the eradication of the fly very
difficult
No less than four species of the
tsetse fly have been found fossil in
the western United States, but the
reason for its disappearance from the
Western Hemisphere is not known.
1t was long thought the tsetse fly
could transmit the sleeping sickness
germ only in a simple mechanical
way, but it is now known that this
organism can be transferred in this
manner only for a few minutes after
an infective feed, but that the fly
again becomes 'infective after a period
of three or four weeks.
Parasite Undergoes Changes,
Meanwhile the parasitic germ has
undergone a series of changes in the
tntestines of the insect and finally be-
comes stored in the salivary glands
salivary juices into the blood of th-
new victim. The critical time for tn,
trypanosomes after they are sucked
up by the fly is when the fly feeds
the next time, since in many cases
they are digested or swept out of the
body with the influx of blood. If the
germ succeeds in establishing itself
in the new supply of blood it multi
plies so rapidly that permanent in
fection is almost certain.
First symptom Described.
The first symptom of the disease is
swelling at the point of contact with
the fly, accompanied by high fever.
The swelling may subside within a
few days but recurs at regular in
tervalS, with severe headache, de-
bility and languor. This condition,
which may last for several months,
is followed by aCcentuated -drowsi-
ness. so that the victim takes no in
terast in his surroundings and shows
