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

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.
