The fact that many persons come In to intimate contact with lepers for years without becoming affected is not strange when one reflects that the same applies to the closely allied dis ease-tuberculosis. Men have volun tarily submitted themselves to direct inoculation with material from the sores, discharges, etc., of lepers, .vet in only one case (that of a Hawaiian convict who, when condemned to death, submitted to the alternative of inoculationi was the actual disease pro- duced In this artificial manner. There is no cure for leprosy. All the remedies proposed after the disease becomes well seated have been of lit- I tie use. The utmost attained is a pro longation of life and a mitigation of suffering. Thero is a tradition which has of Into obtained some scientific sunnort that fish tiii't Is one of the necessary causes of leprosy, either through taint ed fish containing some substance which stirs the bacilli into activity or through the bacilli growing in tile fish and thus being taken into the stomach. This lunacy may have originated la tlie belief that the scales of the leper and tile scales of the fish are analo gous. Leprosy exists among Inland peoples who never oat fish ami doer All persons knowing themselve to be indebted to L. F.

I< At its marine residence, away down In deci) water, the name on the door plate would be “Astropliyton,” and it I belongs to a species called ophiuraus. It has a well marked control disk, not unlike a clam, but has no shell. From this central body radiate arnis, five in number, like those of the familiar star fish, and these arms are divided into minute branches, like the tv^gs ou a tree, uutil they number in some cases a thousand separately defined hairlike tendrils. While the body is not large, the branches when extended measure about eighteen inches In diameter. The creature has the power of incurling these branches until it closely resem bles a shallow dish. This it does when caught and about to die, remaining in that shape when dried. It has been given the name of basket flsli. It frequently (w)ieu caught by a dredge, for that is the only way it can be taken) throws off these arms or parts of them, so that a perfect sped- men is hard to be procured in its natu- ral condition. These arms and their subdivisions are almost white when dried and close ly resemble plaster of paris. They are I very brittle, easily broken and cannot be repaired. The fish live among the roots of seaweeds ami are supposed to feed upon these, moving about by wriggling and clambering with their arms or fastening upon tlie roots and pulling themselves along. Most of tlie knowledge regarding their habits is conjecture, for none have been taken alive and kept for suf ficient time to give them proper ex amination and study.—St. Nicholas. ♦<>- ih ,075.63 » 100.000.00 13.213.01 51 »,361 .63 1,0.14.50 1!»,466.49 »MS,075.1(3 W.
