HARRIMAN has au- thorized the contribution of $30,000 to exterminate rats in San Fran- cisco. The money does not come out of his own poc since it i charged to the Southern Pacific Railroad Companys but it none the less proves that Mr. Harriman is convinced of the desirability of kill- ing rats. | The Atchison, Topeka and Santa) Fe and other large corporations do-: ing business in San Francisco have also contributed to this rat fund. | The particular reason why it is sought at this time to kill the rats in San Francisco is that the bubonic plague has broken out there and) the scientists report that the plague germs are disseminated by rats. Rats are costly animals. The United States Government has been investigating how to ex- terminate rats and advises the use of barium carbonate as a poison. | the use of traps and the inoculation of rats with rat diseases. The trouble with poisons and traps for rats is that the old rats, when| they see something new, send little | rats to experiment with it, and if the little rats die or get caught ina trap the old rats keep away. Since they breed rapidly, the supply of little rats for experimental purposes is large. The bubonic plague which has appeared in San Francisco is not an American but an Asiatic disease, brought to California by the rats in ships. The rats get the germs through living in plague-stricken houses and they speedily infect every place where they go. Flies cause more deaths from disease than rats. During the Span- ish war flies killed more soldiers than Spanish bullets. The typhoid ver which broke out at so many of the camps was spread by flies] which came from fever hospitals. Typhoid is communicated only by! the germs being taken into the mouth, and the flies, by walking on the saldiers’ food, would multiply one case by hundreds. Without flies typhoid fever would be practically confined to people who drink polluted water. | Mosquitces are responsible for yellow fever and malaria. The rea-! son there is no yellow fever except in warm countries is that frost kills the yellow fever mosquitoes. If a man bitten by a yellow fever mos- quito were to come to New Yor he might develop a case of yellow fever here, but the disease would not spread, because there are no mosquitoes of that particular bra’ in this latitude.
