Science Insect Causing Kala Azar Discovered. The British Royal Soclety Commis- | sion for the Study of Kala Azar has determined the insect which transmits this disease around the Mediterranean, it is announced in a bulletin of the society. . Until recently this was the most dreaded of all tropical fevers, appear- ing in epidemics in India and causing a mortality of from 80 to 90 per cent. The sand fly, responsible for its spread in that country, did not appear in the Mediterranean countries, where there are sporadic outbreaks. The guilt now has been traced to an- other variety of sand fly. It must pierce the skin before transmitting the virus. | Consequently, the disease is most prev- alent in children under 1 year old, who are unable to crush the insect whose bite they feel. This discovery, it is likely, will go far toward enabling na- tional health agencies to crush out the disease anngethu— in Southern Europe. | Expert examinations of the earnings | of a number of independent omnibus | | companies in England have disclosed that the profit ranges from 26 o 52 per | cent.
