DR. LEYDS'S POSITION IN

RUSSIA

ST. PETERSBURG. February 12th.

Dr. Leyds has apparently abandoned at any male for the present his intention of visiting St Petersborg. It appears, indeed, that his agents here, at the head of whom is Mr. Gill, Die pastor of the local Dutch church, were by no means sanguine that such a visit would be pro- ductive of good resutla.

Dr. Leyds, it may be mentioned, is described in the official list of the Corps Diplomatique accredited to the Imperial Russian, Court as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten- tiary of the South African Republic, a some what remarkable designation for the representa- tive of a State whose claims to sover independence Great Britain has alway refused to recognise.

The appearance of Dr. Leyds's name in the official list of the Corps Diplomatique has always occasioned a certain amount of 'com. meni in St. Petersburg owing to the fact that Du Leyds has himself never visited the Russian capitale present in person, in accordance with diplomatic usage, his credentials to the Emperor. In 1898, by special favour of the Russian Foreign Office, he was permitted to send his credentials by his secretary, Mr. Van der Hoeven, an ex-clerk from the Government offices in Pretoria, --

At the present time Dr. Leyds ranks twelfth in the list of the nineteen Ministers accedited on behalf of the minor Powers to the Russian Court, and as a Minister would presumably during any temporary abience of British Ambassador take precedence of a British Chargé d'Affairs on any official occasion.

A proof of the activity in Russia of Dr. Leyds and his friends at the present time is furnished by the recent publication in the important Mos cow paper the forcovskifa Vizdomosti of certain extracts from the German Press with the intima tion that these extracts, which contain a series of the vilest charges against Jiritish officers and soldiers in South Africa, are published "at the request of Dr. Leyds, conveyed through Mr. Gillot.

These charges have been emphatically denied by the German Consulin Natal, and that denial has been duly published in many of the German papers. Dr. Leyds and Mr. Gillot, however, apparently consider.it consistent with their respective positions as the representative of a so-called civilised Power and a clergyman of the Dutch church to spread broadcast these calunnies, which are unsupported by a shadow of evidence-Morning Posi.

THE INFLUENZA MIOROBE.

ITS METHODS AND HABITS.

Dr. L. Caze recently contributed an interest ing article on influenza to one of the Frenchi monthly reviews. Under the name of "grippe" the scourge has been known for at least a century. In 1776 it raged with such violence that a doctor, in search, it may be thought, of A novel form of advertisement, offered to give a small income for life to anybody who could prove that he had not suffered from the disease. Nougaret, a popular author of the time, made the incident the subject of a comedy, "La Grippe," which is now worth its weight in gold in the eyes of bibliophiles. A still worse visi- tation of the expidemic occured in 1803, when A host of illustrious victims succumbed to the plague, including La Harpe and the famous actresses Sophie Arnould and Mile. Clairon,

The influenza, like most other pathological abominations, has its microbe, and a microbe tlistinguished, unfortunately, for its vagabond proclivities. It is ever on the march, and any mode of facemotion-it is wingless and legless and requires be carried-serves its tum, from ocean-going liners to the winds of heaven. According to an American scientist, Turkey was the headquarters of the nuisance last winter. Following the lines of international traffic, it has since found its way to innumer- able localities, but in particular to New York, London, and Paris.

F The promised land, which the influenza Daogue, N. J. microbe has in view throughout it wanderings Duff, Mrs. A. is the respiratory organs of human beings. Durant, A. Elsewhere it vegetates, it exists as best it can; Diss & Gellings but in these essential regions of our organic Donenberg, Miss R. economy it flourishes and is for the first time. Elias, A. throughly at home-especially if the ground Ensign, J. has been prepared in advance by chronic bron-Ellerson, D. K. chitis or consumption. The oxygen of the Eskert, Miss R. lungs is necessary for its healthy and normai Eshag Khan development, and when deprived of this alikir Fruhstorfer, H... it mopes, becomes torpid, and eventually gives Fucudn, S. up its tenacious ghoit. Indeed, the idiosyn- crasies of the thing are all of them of such à mature as to induce it to regard our bodies as the most eligible residence on offer. For instance, a bath of twenty-four hours duration in ordinary water, however stagnant and inviting to the average bacillus, is fatal to the influenza microbe, while on the other hand it will exist for weeks in perfect bliss in human saliva.

The modus operandi of the influenza microbe is peculiar. It is not the micrope itself that does the harm, but a poisonous liquid it ex- crctés. A measure of consolation afforded by the fact that this poison is even more dele-. lerious to the microbe than to the human being in whom it is deposited, for the microbes end by being destroyed by their own horrible exhalations, whereas their victim, of coure, has many chances of recovery. The microbe is an egg-shaged thing, but gifted, in spite of its roundness and smoothness, with an extra- ordinary capacity both for adhering to any con ceivable surface and for passing from one resting place to another. Its goal is a humon nose or mouth, and once in the vicinity of these organs its future is assured, for the mere act of -breathing is sufficient to draw it into the system. Arrived there it progagates itself with amazing rapidity. It lengthens out, and, after twenty minutes of this process, it breaks in twain, and there are two fully-fledged microbes in the place of one. In twenty-four hours the original invader will, in this way, be surrounded by a progeny of over sixteen millions of his poison- producing kindred. In short, the doctors know almost everything about the influenza microbe „except an effective method of exterminating it.

NEW AMERICAN ISLANDS,

Two new islands are to be added to the possessions of the United States in the West Indies. They are Mona Island, and Monito land, in Mona passage, between San Domingo and Porto Rico. The former isan island of some size, but Monito. In only a reef.. A: Washington dispatch states that it was not definitely known until February 8th that the islands belonged to the United States, and then not until after considerable research

The Post Office Department has been baying ahap made of the American possessions A chart was found indicating in colours the different Colonial possessions of the world, and this shows Mona was regarded as a Spanish possession, which accordingly becomes Ameri- can: property under the Paris Treaty. It is thought probablo by naval officers that Mona Island may prove of service to the United Stater af some time in the future, and it is not unlikely that an order will be issued to have it surveyed and charted as an American passes sion,... It is not inhabited.
