The Tick Re1ealed as Disease Spreader

THE common dog or wood tick. looked upon
! largely as an irritating pest but of little
Importance to humans save for the annoyance
it causes, may in reality be an important
spreader of disease. Careful study and expert
mentation have proven without question that
it transmits a serious disease of cattle known
as bovine anaplasmosis, and it is strongly sus-
pected Of carrying a fever, either the Rocky
Mountain spotted fever or something closely
akin to it.
1t is the possibility of spreading the Rocky
Mountain fever. which makes the tick most
menacing, for this fever has an unusually high
death rate, although its virulence varies in
different sections.
For some time those who doubted the ability
of the tick to spread anaplasmosis pointed out
the fact that ticks were seldom found on the
bodies Of cattle infected with this disease, but
experts carrying on the study placed ticks
known to have gorged themselves on the blood
of infected cattle on the skins of healthy cat
tie. Four weeks later the disease was discov-
cred in the test cattle.
Observation disclosed that tick after gorg-
ing itself for a week upon an animal drops of

as exceptionally powerful superchargers, metals
that would Withstand terrific cold. and special
propeller not to mention score of others.
All of this apparatus is now being fitted into
the plane, but it will be month or two before
finishing touches have been completed
Outwardly, the machine is a medium sized
monoplane without any striking details except
a four bladed propeller that is meters 60 from
tip to tip, or slightly more than Is feet. The
blades have variable pitch that the pilot can
alter during flight. The under carriage has
been heightened to give the propeller room.
The principal problem of the air ministry
engineers was to maintain the motors power at
high altitude, for the higher plane goes and
the thinner the air, the more difficult it be-
comes for the motor to breathe through its
carburetor. According to French experts the
power descendS to zero at about So 600 feet.
The air ministry chose a 350-horsepower Far
cooled. 1t is placed in the machine inversely
as the long bladed propeller must be mounted
very high.
To maintain a normal supply Of air for
the motor at high altitude the Farman Co.
developed a triple supercharger which is at
tached to the back of the motor. The three
compressors, each making 5000 turns minute,
are fixed in a triangular sleeve, and can work
separately or together. The first drives air
into the second second into the third and the
third into the carburetor. As the machine

and later all Of them. This terrific pressure
would normally raise the air to a high tenn
perature. but there radiators, in the form

at about 65,0 900 feet the motor will develop
more than 40 horsepower, due to lower pres

II weather conditions are favorable in the
stratosphere. this should be sufficient power to
drive the plane at least 400 or 500 miles an
hour. as the air resistance Is so much lower.
The carburetor, gasoline tank and oiling and
cooling systems will all work under pressure.
and special mixture with ethyl-glycol base
will be used to cool the motor and thereby re-
duce the radiator dimensions.
The plane itself is of wooden and linen con-
struction partly because the Farman engineers
are convinced that wooden framework has
many advantages like resiliency over metal,
and also because all metals except pure alumni
