GERM OF LAZINESS BUN DOWN DlMorrrf Tnn Back More Thaa a Oatvrr W ! It. Looks Like aa4 IIott It Dorm lulWH. In December, 1902. and tor ome time thereafter, the Annrirn preen made much of what it conceived to be an exception all good joke. At the Pan-American San itary conicreM held In that month it had been announced by no leaa an authority than the' chli t ot the dlvUlon of toology of the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital service. Vr. Charles War dell Ftlles, that he had discovered a hu man paianite to which were directly due the "Urinous" and "shlftlossnets" of the poor whiten of the sand-lands and pine barrens of the south. The "lazy bug,' the "laxy germ" became a Joke at which people laughed whenever the subject was broached, until Dr. Stiles, who "had seen emaciated men trying to . wrest a living from half-tilled fields, and women, to whom rest never came, trying to nurse starveling babes at withered breasts, sol eninly asserted In an address: 'It Isn't a thing to laugh at when men and women and children are dying.' " The story of Pr. 6tlles' momentous discovery Is force' fully told by Marion Hamilton Carter In McClure's tor October; and It shows that. tar from being a laughing; matter, Dr. Bt lies' announcement was founded on facts, and those of the gravest import to at least two million people of the south. The discovery of the hookworm Itself Is not recent. Traced Away Back. In 1782 Ooeie, a German clergyman and xoologist, found a small hair-like parasite in the Intestine of a badger he was dissect ing, which he called "der Harrundwurm" (the hair-round worm). . ... Seven years later Froellch, another German sool- ogist, found a similar parasite In the, In testine of a fox. Observing the "hooks" spoken ot by Goeze, Froellch adopted the vernacular word Haakenwurm (hook worm) and gave the generic name Uncl narla (from Unclnua, a hook) to the genus he established. Thus the parasite got Its name. As a matter ot fact, the "hooks" are not hooks at all. . . . However, the name clung for two other reasons: The head ot the worm bends conspicuously backward, making a hook of the worm Itself; and within the mouth cavity of the European species lie four sharp, chit Inous hooks by which the parasite fastens Itself to the Intestine. ... In ISO Du blnl, an Italian of Milan, described a species occurring In man, to which was attributed the widespread anemia among Italian brlckmakers, excavators, and the poorer rural population. ... In 1ST a terrible epidemic of "tunnel disease" broke out among the workers In the St. Oothard tunnel and the Interest of the whole scien tific world was aroused. Investigation left no doubt as to the cause of the disease, and that It had been spread through total neglect of personal hygiene on the part of the workers and lack of sanitary conven lences. The soil of the tunnel was com pletely impregnated with the ova and larvae of the hookworm, and all who handled It became Infected. In 18S1 Iloi- solo.

World-Wide Parasites. The disease became prevalent in Europe, and reports of It also came rapidly In from such widely scattered places as Calcutta, Tunis, Cape Colony and Egypt. The worm had not, however, been found In America; but In 1893 BUckhahn "won the priority claim for first discovery by publishing In the Philadelphia News the report of an Imported case of a German bricklayer he had treated." On the heels of this a ten cases were reported from Richmond and New Orleans, and the profession knew that the hookworm was here. But no one knew that America had a hookworm of her own until 1901, when "the right case fell Into the hands of the right man Dr. Allen J. Smith of Texas and the account of It was published by Dr. Charlotte M. Schaeffer In the Texas Medical News." Dr. Smith found that his hookworm was "not Dublnl's, but a new American species never before described." Dr. Stiles had asked for specimens of the worms from Dr. Smith's case and, when he received them, "went off on a vacation to work out the question of species." Later, while Dr. Smith was writing a paper on his hookworm, "the mall one day brought htm a little two-page pamphlet, dated May, 1902, algned 'Stiles,' announcing the new American hookworm. Dr. Stiles had won the priority claim for the discovery. It was one ot the closest runs for priority on big game In the history of zoology." if aw It Works. In describing how the hookworm . feeds upon Its victim, the McClure's writer says: "The hookworm's motto might well be multum In parvo; for, compacted within Its tiny body, less than an inch long and looking like a bit of soiled coarse thread, are mouth, esophagus. Intestinal canal, etc., to which the female adds the capac ity for many thousand eggs. . . . When the hookworm Is ready to eat. It presses its mouth disk against the Intestine, draws a tiny piece of the mucous membrane Into tta mouth, and punctures It with Its lancets and fang. Through the minute holes thus made the blood la sucked out. "How long a hookworm remains cling ing to one spot before It moves to a fresh one Is not known. . , . Dr. Eandwlth. an English physician, found In one of his autopsies 200 worms and 675 bites. In another, when the autopsy was performed seven hours after death, there were 863 worms, of' which 217 were still clinging, and some of them had not only their heads but half their bodies burled In the Intes tine." Any one who has lived In the south knows the "sandhlllers," "barrenltes," and "crackers," a miserable class of people springing from Anglo-Saxon stock but having a deep-seated aversion to work. Some are bloated with dropsy, have lus terless eyes, and a skin like tallow. Some are "dirt-eaters" they eat dirt and clay right off the ground; or they will pick lumps of soot out ot the chimney and suck It till they swallow It. AH of these aro the unfortunate victims of the Nec- ator Americanus, the "American mur derer," as Dr. Stiles now calls his hook worm. The affections known as "ground itch," "foot Itch," "dew poison," etc., have also been traced to the same source. For It Is found that inmoet cases Infec tion takes place through the skin of the foot. Herein lies the one hopeful feature of hookworm disease: The parasite cannot multiply In the body of its victim. Lines of Safety. The female lays her thousands of eKgs In the intestinal tract of her victim, but they cannot develop without oxygen. When they have passed out, and condi tions of air and temperature are favorable, it takes them from ono to three days to hatch Into minute larvae, barely visible to the naked eye. . . . After a short period of growth a new skin is formed under the old one and each larvae molts. It becomes longer and thtnner, and pres ently the second molt begins. ... It is now In the infective stage, and unless It can fasten on a panning foot, or a stroke of luck sends It down Its future victim's throat In drinking water or on the sur face of unwashed vegetables. Its career as a parasite Is nipped in the bud. At this stage freezing and complete dry ing are fatal, so the parasite hastens to protect Itself. It wastes no time, but crawls off to the nearest puddle or Into damp soli, whero It can protect its feeble body from the dry ing action of sun and wind. In this way, burrowing through loose, sandy soil, gath ering about the roots of plants and vege tables, the larvae hatched from a single deposit sprnd themselves over an area probably a jundred times greater than the spot whence they originated. And there are tens of thousands ot them, all bent on the same errand all ravenous for con tact with human flesh. It will have been gathered from what has been said that the spread of the hook worm disease Is due to soil pollution. In a census of 366 sand-land farms, taken by Dr. Stilts, 43 per cent of the whites and 79 per cent of the negroes were without any kind of sanitary conveniences. It is found that, "without so much as guessing that there is anything the matter with him, the nero Is able to carry about with him a number of hookworms that woulN iay a white 'man In his bed and a white child In his grave." And It lias been fairly assumed that "in the beginning the negroes brought, the hookworm with them from Africa on the slave-ships, and It has remained with them ever since." This Is the "price of slavery" that has fallen on thu white man and his children; for wher ever the whites have followed the negro on plantations that he tilled In slave days unemia with symptoms of the hookworm disease has broken out among them, and it now numbers 2 000.0U0 cases in the south. By it thousands of American families have been reductd to abject poverty and mil lions of dollars have been lost through Incompetent labor in every state below the Potomac. It la the Ignorance and carelessness of the white landlord that are responsible tor the present Insanitary conditions; and five grdtt states In the south are now con fronted with the grim fact that "their la bor problurn is the problem of soli pollu tion and the hookworm disease."

"I've kept iny age a secret ever since I was 24." "Vea," he replied, "but one of these days you will give It away. In time you will just sluiply have to tell It."

Philadel phia L,edgi PLENTY OF LAND TO BE HAD Vast Areas Available West and Sooth Without Danger of Crowding. It Is a singular fact that the Idea of a dearth of agricultural land should prevail anywhere In this country, where the popu lation still bears such a small numerical relation to the srea of good soil. Japan, which Is about the size of California, con ttlr.s ten times our lumber of Inhabitants, and California could eatlly support 10.000.000 without confining farmers to areas of land too limited for thHr profitable use. Th outh Is still open to multi-millions of In dustrious men, So Is the middle west; and, strange to say, there remains plenty of room In the populous east. We have in mind a fertile courtry six hours by rail from New York City, close to cities of from 60,000 to li)0,000 reople, where tho popu lation Is less than It was in l-i0. This Is not the fault of the soli or of the markot. It simply means that the young men have been drawn to the nearby cities and that emigrants have passed It, by enroute west, causing the acre price to run down from $110 to a maximum of $30 and a minimum of flO. The country Is given to dairy Ina and hops and ought, under less arc hale methods of cultivation, to support twiat Its present number of farmers. There ara hundreds of such districts In the fertile middle states, to say nothing of those In the vastly under-populated south, where lard Is as cheap, all things considered, aa It is anywhere on tho continent. If there was anything like an equitable distribution of Immigrants of the agricul tural class the country could go on taking them Indefinitely and cause no alarm to students of social economy. The movement of American population toward Canada has widely spread the idea that tho best lands In the United Slates are already manned, but this Is far from being true. To be sure, the Unlt-d States government has not much land left to Blve away, but much of the land It has disposed of by that handy method is dearer, an the Canadian freo hi)I(!ins are. than Is f' lar.d near large cnurs of consuiti)' Ion, where settled con ditions exist and where life is surrounded by all the things that civilize and charm.
