THE sudden appearance of yellow
fever in the United States this
Summer and the death ofxnany
people In the City of. New Orleans, to
gether with the spread of the disease
In the Crescent Cit causes general In
terest In the dreaded "yellow plague."
New Orleans and Memphis have, for
the past 100 years, been the chief suf
ferers from this disease. Many other
Southern cities have also been sorely
afflicted with the terrible scourge.
In 1899 there was a general outbreak
of yellow fever in the South, and Sec
retary of the Treasury Gage issued an
abstract of a report of medical ex
port who were appointed by fhe Pres
ident and instructed to investigate the
cause of the disease and Its etiology.
Yellow Fever Germ.
The commission cbnslsted of Sur
geons Wasdln and GIddlngs, two ex
perts, who were detailed to make the
investigation.
The. report embodies the work of the
commission in fairly testing the claim
of Professor Sanarelll, of Bologna,
Italy, that the bacillus Icteroldes Is the
cause of yellow fever, and - the con
clusion Is drawn that this famous sci
entist has isolated the true cause of
the scourge. The conclusion Is based
upon a careful bacteriological study, in
a well-equipped laboratory in Havana,
of 22 cases of disease thought to be
yellow fever by the native physicians
in attendance.
Of the 14 cases diagnosed as yellow
fever.the commission isolated the or
ganism of Sanarelll, the bacillus icter
oldes, from 13, and in the case in which
this organism escaped the observation
of the commission it was isolated by
an Independent observer for whom
tube cultures had been taken at a
necropsy conducted by the commis
sion. Thus the even percentage of Iso
lations has been obtained In these 14
cases, alj of which "presented promi
nent symptoms of the disease. In the
cases not thus diagnosed the organ
ism of Sanarelll was not obtained:
From the living blood In 12 of the
14 cases, abstracted not earlier than
the third day of the disease, the or
ganism was Isolated, and In the two
others It was obtained postmorten. The
commission, having proserved a num
ber of cultures made at the Isolation
hospital in the City of New Orleans
from casus seen during the epidemic of
1S97, also isolated therefrom the bacil
lus icteroldes in the proportion of 8S.33
per cent of the cases examined, the
cultures having been made at
necropsy. Thus the identity of the
bacillus Icteroldes of our Southern
States with that found In Cuba and
that sent the commission by Professor
Sanarelll, which was obtained in South
America, was established.
Study or the Germ.
The commission also examined 31
unknown dead bodies found In Cuba,
and in all pases wherein the death had
been caused by disease other than yel
low fever none of Sanarelli's organ
isms was discovered. Many experi
ments wore made with animals and
the natural history of the newly dis
covered germ was studied. It was
found that when animals were placed
under natural conditions of infection
the test proved conclusively the nat
ural specificity of the organism of San
arolll. The theory formulated and expressed
by Surgeon-General Sternberg, that
the "germinal principle" In yellow
fever was to be looked for in the ali
mentary tract, an opinion evidently de
pendent upon the well-known Influ
ence of the disease upon the organs
adjacent and contributlve to this tract
and portions of the tract Itself, as the
duodenum, has been found untenable
by the commission, since there is no
record of anyone over having Isolated
the specific germ from the canal save
its presence there through some capil
lary hemorrhage Into its lumen.
The influence of the various disin
fecting agents upon the bacillus Icter
oldes has been studied by the commis
sion with an eye to the practical ad
vantages to be derived from a better
acquaintance with the organism, and
it is found that the organism is read
ily Influenced by the mechanical and
chemical agents In ordinary use. Cold,
however, is not a factor in this process,
for the organism resists the most ex
tensive refrigeration, and no reliance
can be placed on this mode of disinfec
tion. On the other hand, the organism
is very susceptible to dehydration, and
cannot withstand artificial drying for
more than 10 to 12 days, and It Is very
probable that its susceptibility to frost
is aue to me lessened humidity of the
atmosphere at such seasons, rather
than to the degree of cold experienced.
Sunlight Is very fatal to this organism,
and no doubt Is more so if the organ
Ism has lost Its vitality through e-ap-oratlon
of Its fluids, as In a frosty at
mosphere. Important Conclusions.
The conclusions of the commission
are as follows, and are regarded as
being of great Importance by the med
ical world, and may result In the pro
duction of an antiserum which will
prove a potent cure for and preventive
of the disease:
L That the micro-organism discovered
by Professor Giuseppe Sanarelll, of the
Tniverslty of Bologna, Italy, and by him
named "bacillus Icteroldes," Is the cause
of yellow fever.

3. That Infection takes place by way of
the respiratory tract, the primary colon

earlier manifestations of the disease.
4, That in many cases of the disease,
probably a majority, the primary lnfeclon

a "secondary Infection," or a secondary
colonization of this organism in the blood
of the patient. This secondary Infection

Mosquito tlio Sfnncr.
A year or so ago Dr. Walter Reed, sur
geon in the United States Army, published
an account of a careful study of yellow
fever by himself and .other Army officers.
The report says In part:
"Tho mosquito serves as the Intermedi
ate host for the parasite of yellow fever,
and It Is highly probable that the disease
is only propagated through the bite of this
InBccL"
This conclusion Is regarded as of high
importance In the medical profession, par
ticularly as the Army surgeons had an ex
cellent opportunity tfc study the disease
last Summer during the fever epidemic at
Qucmados and among the patients in Las
Animas Hospital, Havana. The discovery
of Dr. Heed and his assistants will be of
great help in. fighting the disease.
The Army surgeons say that they were
influenced to give their attention to the
theory of the propagation of yellow fever
by means of tho mosquito "a theory first
advanced and Ingeniously discussed by Dr.
Carlos J. Flnley, of Havana, in 1SS1 . . .
by reason of the well-known facts con
nected with the epidemiology of this dis
ease, and, of course, by the brilliant work
of Boss and the Italian observers. In con
nection with the theory of the propagation
of malaria by the mosquito."
A feature of tho report of the medical
officers is that Dr. Jesso W. Lazear, one
of their number, developed a fatal attack
of yellow fever from a mosquito bite, and
that Dr. James Carroll, another member
of the special board, was stricken with
Nthe fever through the medium of the "in
sect, duc recovered. -
One Actual Test.
In Dr. Lazear's case he had been bitten
on August 16 by a contaminated mosquito
of the culex fa&ciatus variety, but no ap
preciable disturbance of health followed
the Inoculation. On September 13, while
Dr. Lazear was collecting blood from yel
low fever patients for study in Las Anl
mils Hospital, he was bitten by a culex
mosquito, whose variety has been unde
termined. As Dr. Lazear had been previously bit
ten by a contaminated insect "without
after effects, he deliberately allowed this
particular mosquito to remain till It had
satisfied Its hunger. Five days after the
bite Dr. Lazear was taken III with pro
gressive and fatal yollow fever and died
on September 25.
The board's comment In this case Is:
"Ak Dr. Lazear was bitten by a mosquito
while present In the wards of a yellow
fever hospital, one must at least admit
the possibility of this Insect's contam
ination by a previous bite of a yellow
fever patlont."
Dr. Carroll was bitten by a mosquito,
culex fasclatus, on August 27. This par
ticular mosquito had bitten two severe
and two mild cases of yollow fever before
attacking Dr. Carroll. Five days after be
ing bitten Dr. Carroll was down with se
vere yellow fever, from which he recov
ered. Conclusions of Surgeons.
The medical officers say In conclud

WHERE GIRLS
QUEER CUSTOMS IN
WHICH MARRIAGES
THE students of phychologyand so
ciology know that women have cul
tivated an attitude of effomlnate coy
iiess along with the thousand and one
conventionalities that have been thrust
on them. In spite of these opinions, j
says tho Chicago Tribune, in the days j
gone by It was almost as common for
the women as the men to do the court- j
Ing. Today thero are parts of the world
where young women feel they are doing
nothing wrong by taking this pleasure
and responsibility on themselves.
In Polynesia there are no women'jj
clubs and the doctrines of woman's
Tights have never beon heard, and still
these half emancipated young girls
feel they have the right to extend an :
offer of marriage to an equal or to an
Inferior. Their proposals are sometimes
accepted, again rejected. When their
love Is unanswered they do not commit
suicide or take poison, as an American
novelist might make us believe. They
may grieve a little while, only to con
sole themselves with the tnought, "If
at first you don't succeed, try, try
again." xhoso proposals are often
spoken In most romantic words.
A Fijian maiden desperately In love
with a young man asked bin father If
she might love his son, and receiving
no encouragement, she said:
"Let me only live outside of his
home. I will sleep upon the woodpile.
If I may only light his cigarette for
him I shall rejoice.
"I may only hear his voice from a
distance; It will suffice. Life will be
pleasant to me."
Between the northern and southern
extremity of New Guinea lies Torres
Strait The largest Island In the strait
Is inhabited -iJy Melaneslans, whose cus
toms are Insular and unique they are of
special Interest to students occupied with
the phenomena of love and marriage.
They arc, with one exception, of the
Papuan type, frlzzled-halr people, who
cultivate the soil, use the bow and ar
row, and, un-AustralJan like, treat the
women with consideration.
Professor A. C. Haddon, the roost em
inent authority on these people, says that
the women of the region are wonderfully
Independent. The most a man ever dares
Is to suggest he Is- fond of a girl, but If
he actually proposed, he would be the
laughing stock of the whole district. On
the Island of Tuo boys are taught:
"You no like girls first; If you do girls
laugh and call you woman.' When a girl
likes a man. she tells his sister and gives
her a ring of string. She tells tho brother
she has some good news for him, and if
he approves they select a rendezvous.
where the conversation is carried on in
this manner:
"You like me proper?"
"Yes." she declares. "I like you prop
er, with my heart Inside. Eye along
heart see you you my man."
Half frightened, he continues: "How
you like meT'
She usually answers: "I like your leg
your skin good. You my man."
In a neighboring Island courtship as
sumes a more practical form. The love
sick maiden sends her young man food,
and plenty of It. He waits some time.
and If he decides he approves of Jior he
acknowledges her favor by eating all she
has sent him. A good dancer Is always
admired In these Islands. A man's being
married does not prevent his being court
ed again. Girls have enough tact not to
make this known to tho wife. A sister is
selected.
Some of the girls are wonderfully per
sistent. Haddon tells of a girl who was
In-love with a cook. She. made the ad
vances, .but he paid no heed, and so she
accused him of trying to steal her. She
carried on a long lawsuit, though the
Infection and with the results that fol
lowed the bite of the mosquito In these
three cases. Our results would appear
to throw new light on Carter's obser
vations In Mississippi as to tho, period
required between the introduction of
the first (Infecting) case and the oc
currence of secondary cases of yellow
fever.
"Since we here, for the first time,
record a case in which a typical at
tack of yellow fever has followed the
bite of an infected mosquito, within
tho usual period of Incubation of the
disease, and In which other sources of
infection can be excluded, we feel con
fident that the publication of theso
observations must excite renewed ln
torest in the mosquito theory of the
propagation of yellow fever, as first
proposed by Flnley.
"From the first part of our study
of yellow fever we draw the following
conclusions:
"J. Tho blood taken during tho life
from the general venous circulation, on
various days of the disease, in 18 oases
of yellow fever, successively studied,
has given negative results as regards
the presence of bacillus lctorotdes.
"2. Cultures taken from .the blood
and organs of 11 yellow fevor cadavers
have also proved negative as regards
the presence of this bacillus.
"3. Bacillus Icteroldes (Sanarelll)
stand In no causative relation to yellow
fever, but, when present, should be
considered as a ccondary InvaJer ln
thiB disease.
"From tho second part of our study
of yellow fever we draw the following
conclusion:
"Tho mosquito servos as the Inter
mediate host for the parasite of yel
low fever, and It Is highly probable
that the disease is only propagated
through tho bite of this Insect."
Wood's Peat nt Havana.
General Leonard Wood stamped out
the yellow plague at Havana, after It
had been carrying thousand's to the
grave for hundreds of years. His
watchword was sanitation. These
facts are an open book to the Ameri
can people. v.
In. this generation we consider yel
low fever as a plague liable to harry
the Gulf states only, but epidemics
of the disease In the North are not un
precedented. In 1793 Philadelphia had
a visitation of yellow fever, the effect
of whloh was more appalling than that
of any modern epidemic The Summer
of 1792 had been unusually hot and
wet Tho sanitary condition of the
city was extremely bad, and the pools
formed by the copious rains were filled
with filth, which soaked into tho
grounJ. The succeeding "Winter was
unusually mild, hardly any Ico was
formed and the frost did not penetrate
Into the ground. The Summer of 1792
was hot 'and dry. and the burning
sun drew up tne miasmatic exhalations
from the parched and polluted ground.
About the middle of July an epidemic
broke out in the quarter on the river
front resorted to by seamen. Ships
from Santo Domingo and other "West
India ports were lying at tho wharves.
For a time the disease, though extreme
ly fatal, was confined' to this section
of the city and no general alarm waa
felt. But during. August the disease
spread from quarter to quarter, until
the whole city was Involved.

The Pueblo girl is even more Independ

times romantic flirtation she comes to
the conclusion she Is fonder of one suitor
than the others and she tells her father
she is determined to have the young man.
The father usually acquaints the young
man with the fact. It seldom happens
that any objections are raised, but the
father of the bridegroom must reimburse
the parents of the maiden for the loss of
their daughter. This Is done by an offer
of presents In keeping with their wealth
and rank.

LIFE ON TORPEDO - BOATS
Crew Suffers Much in Hot, Cramped
Quarters in a Heavy Sea.
Norfolk Landmark.
Each of the torpedo craft carries' a
crew of from 60 to "0 men. and when
one considers the size of the space In
which It Is necessary for tnese men to
move about In operating- the powerful
yet Intrfcate machinery, and find sleep
ing space also, One must marvel at the
life aboard a vessel of this class.
To live In quarters the size of an or
dinary dry goods box is not the life
that tho everyday American citizen
cares to essay. To endure such life for
hours at a stretch, without sleep, and to
stand exposed In all climates such Is
life aboard a torpedo craft for officers
and men alike.
There is no discrimination; that Is
why one sees beardless faces and slen
der figures behind the connlngr-towers
when these long-, three and four-stacked
filers -run Into port for coal, and water
at frequent Intervals, which Is neces
sary on account of their limited space
for carrying- these necessities. In the
comparatively smooth waters of this
harbor the torpedoboats look very much
like the motor racers In disguise, but
they are far from being- the pleasure

pedo-boat under way, and then life on
.board the craft can be seen In Its true
light. Sticking- their bows Into tha
long-, erreen swells, the spray flying
above the signal-staffs forward and the
solid gTeen water washing- the low
decks continually, Is but one picture of
life on the rolling- deep in a mere shell
of a boat.
In the harbor and when at sea In fair
weather the torpedo-boat runs with
hatches open, the commanding- officer
stands on watch clear of tho forward
connlng-tower. and the crew lounge on
deck, but when the little craft begins
to roll and plunge In the seaway the
hatches are closed, rfnd. barring- the
stumpy smokestacks, tho vessels re
semble baby whales at play. It Is then
that the crew suffers most while at sea.
All must remain below decks or place
themselves In Jeopardy. To venture
above while the vessel is plunging
about the sea with docks awash would
be extremely hazardous.
Sometimes the Japanese steward will
essay to climb along- the deck from the
stern to the forward hatch with a.
smoking- dish clasped . tightly In his
hands. He is In a raco with the seas.
If ho reaches his destination forward
he is lucky. If the seas get there first,
the fishes get the food.
In the event of the seas overtaking
him, then he has to scramble back to
the galley and await another chance.
This is an amusing Incident of life
aboard, to watch the steward essay the
trip in rough weather.
Intense heat prevails below decks
when the craft Is . under way with
hatches closed, and the humidity Is ono
of the Inconveniences to which the crew
of a torpedo-boat is subje'eted, and Is
ono of the most objectionable features
of life aboard the torpedo craft, as the
heat- Is- oppressive and fearful at times,
with all four boilers under full draft
and ponderous engines throbbing and
pulsating a't full speed of perhaps 25
to 30 -knots.
