The keeping of cats is the solution offered. by Lient-Col. A. Buchanan, civil surgeon of Amroti, Borar, India, for the plague problem that is now so steadily growing upon the world's attention. At Nagkar 22,000 people have died from plague, and 8,000. at Kalmonb wer. These places are 13. mllas apart, and, on) the rosisida between is the village of Girla which has had no plague. Cate have kept the village free from rate. Following up the hint, a census showed that the 800,000 people of the district of Amraoti had 83,000 cats, and that houses had never had the pingue. Of more than 145 villages having cats in at least half of the

A solid fuel being in many respects desirable for motors and automobiles, a firm of German manufacturers has adapted the gas-sugias for using brioke of asphthalene, This is a com- paratively obeap bydrocarbou distilled from ocal-tar, melts at 174 degrees Fahr., and often cansos trouble by condensing from coal gas and atopping up the pipes. Fad ovory two or three hours into a special cylinder attached to the. gas-engine, the bricks are maited by the wasto heat from the jacket water and the exhaust. The melting naphthalene passes down a pipe- which is jacketed by a branch pipe from the exhaust-to the spraying device, which is heated by the exhaust and the air entering the cylin- dor is also promoted to keep the naphthalene from elogging the nozzle. The one disadvsu-, tage of this fuel is that it is necessary to use gasoline until the cooling water and the exhaust become bot enough to malt the naphthalens.
