Hofer, to be quoted later, has had a much broader experience. More sweeping and even more fatal has been the introduction among the wild sheep of an anthrax, of which, however, very little is known. Aside from man, the most important enemies of the sheep in nature are the mountain lion and eagles of two species.

In the mean time she was to be sent to the Court of France, and preparations were at once made there to provide her with a suitable establishment. The King was ill with an anthrax in the throat.

Nowadays, when men interpret everything with glorious assurance, when they explain the Lion's tawny mane as due to the colour of the African desert, attribute the Tiger's dark stripes to the streaks of shadow cast by the bamboos and extricate any number of other magnificent things with the same facility from the mists of the unknown, I should not be sorry to hear what they have to say of the Melecta, the Crocisa and the Anthrax and of the origin of their exceptional costume.

The spasms may be diminished by means of chloral and bromides, or by chloroform inhalation. Anthrax is a comparatively rare disease, communicable to man from certain of the lower animals, such as sheep, oxen, horses, deer, and other herbivora.

Immunity is obtained by introducing the P. bigeminun into the blood, either by placing a few virulent young ticks upon the animal, or by repeated inoculation with a very small quantity of virulent blood. Give the cause and treatment of actinomycosis. Give the cause and treatment of emphysematous anthrax. Give the cause of tick fever; distribution of the disease and methods of control.

We are now persuaded: despite his stalwart appearance, the Capricorn is powerless to leave the tree-trunk by his unaided efforts. It therefore falls to the worm, to the wisdom of that bit of an intestine, to prepare the way for him. We see renewed, in another form, the feats of prowess of the Anthrax, whose pupa, armed with trepans, bores through rock on the feeble Fly's behalf.

If they move away from it, if they miss the appointed path, they imperil their existence. The Anthrax, more highly favored, puts his mouth where it suits him; he leaves off when he pleases and when he pleases starts again. Unless I labor under a delusion, I think that I see the necessity for this privilege.

It dies and decomposes by the mere prick of a needle; it keeps alive, or at least preserves the freshness of the live tissues, so long as it is not entirely emptied by the Anthrax' sucker. A nothing kills it; an atrocious wasting does not. No, I fail to understand the problem; and I bequeath it to others.

Soon a yellow cord occupying the front two-thirds of the body proclaims that the digestive apparatus is swelling out with food. For a fortnight, consume your provender in peace, my child; then spin your cocoon: you are now safe from the Tachina! Shall you be safe from the Anthrax' sucker later on? Alack! Does the insect know beforehand the sex of the egg which it is about to lay?
