FIGHTING THE PLAGUE IN JAPAN. 
Prof. Shibasaburo Kitasato, director of the 
Institute for Infectious Diseases, Tokio, in the 
course of a paper on “Fighting Plague in 
Japan,” which he prepared for this year’s annual 
meeting of the American Society of Tropical 
Medicine, declared that rats were the most pro¬ 
lific propagators of the plague and that to ex¬ 
terminate them was one of the easiest ways to 
prevent the spread of the disease. That this 
fact is appreciated in Japan is shown by the 
statement that 4,820,000 rats have been killed in 
Tokio alone since 1900. Professor Kitasato 
proposes a world-wide campaign of rat-killing. 
“All the civilized nations,” he says, “have to 
fight this common enemy, the plague. I believe 
that there ought to be an international confer¬ 
ence to discuss a plan, collect money, and organ¬ 
ize an international army to fight and vanquish 
this disease from the surface of the earth. The 
expedition should be sent to the regions of 
India and South China. The expense needed for 
such an enterprise would be only a small part 
of what the civilized nations are spending for 
their armies and navies; or the money spent in 
every country would suffice for the preventives 
of the pestilence.” 
WHY THE WATER FELL. 
A fisherman on Lak’ San Claire, 
’Bout six mile out f’m shore, 
Fish hard for one, 2, 3, 4 hour; 
Bam by he fish some more. 
Some tarn he fish wid ole dry bait, 
Some tarn he fish wid wet; 
He give de dry bait to de fish, 
The wet bait—nit! you bet. 
Long time some 'fish did nevair come. 
Den one, 2, 3, pass by; 
Dey smell of dat ole, dead, dry bait 
And wink ze ozzair eye. 
Bam by one great big bass come ’long, 
’Bout 5, 6, 7 pound weight; 
So ole he neider smell nor see. 
An’ eat dat ole dry bait. 
Ze fisherman stan’ ver’ still 
And reel out yards of line; 
He work dat poor ole bline black bass 
So ver’, ver’ fine. 
Bam by ze fish begin to pull, 
Bam by he pull some more; 
An’ den was fun in Lak’ San Claire, 
’Bout 6 mile out from shore. 
Ze fish he plonge like one mad horse, 
And den he pull like 10; 
He tow dat boat 9 mile a hour— 
Big boat an’ 4 big men. 
He pull like bass ’bout 6 feet long. 
May be he be ’bout 7; 
May be, if not pull out right quick, 
Fie grow to be ’bout ’leven. 
Bam by dey pull dat bass half out. 
Bam by dey pull him more; 
An’ Lak’ San Claire fall 4, 5 feet, 
’Bout G mile out from shore. 
Dat Lime Kiln Crossin’ git so low 
De boats dey can not pass; 
An’ Dan he say de river fall 
When he pull out dat bass.
