Pats are excertingly susceptible to plagues and when once they are infected they usually to anni. cate infection nut only to man but also lo houses which have undergone a thorough lisinfection. It is therefore as essential to the safely at the community to destroy infected rats as to segregate plague-stricken people; in fact, almost all the evidence regarding the causation of plague may be regard as pointing to the rat as the chief agent in as diffusion. For this reason the in place of destroying rate has been insten on by the frames of the Paris Convention of 1993 and although European opinion is not unanimous on the point, the Governor-General Consulers That experience recently acquired in India warrants the belief that the systematic destruc tion of these animals promises to be one of the most effective measu es that can be adopted for preventing the spread of plague.

In any case, the efficacy of house dsinfection dependen tirely upon the methods en ployed. The fluids used must be really germicidal, such as solu. linna of corrosive sublimate, cyllin, or izal. They must be intelligently applied under pro- per supervision, and care must be taken to prevent reinfection of the building by rats. These observations apply in their full force unly to towns where the disease has not fully established itself. In villages the disinfection of houses is seldom of much us, white in
