Aleut of W. Cockle of I<asio, to the -cfiect that the weodticks which abound in British Columbia, carry germs v,dlich cause spinalmningiti and, beri-beri, and that the bite of these insects is sometimea fatal, which statement has caused considerable alarm in British Col:unable, Dr. 0, Gordon Hewitt, Dominion entomolog- ist, states: "While I do not know what state- ment Mr. Cookie made, I ean most emphatically state that the woodticks have not been shown to have any rale, tion to either spinal meningitis or the tropical disease of beri-beri. The Teal fads are as lollows: For some time the division of entomology has been investigating the distributioe and habits of the Rocky Mountain spotted fever tick. Mr. Cockle has kindly sent, at my request, specimens of woodtieles which I have identified as this ape. cies, Specimens of the same species have also been sent to me'from other districts in Brinell' Colunibia. This tick has been shown to be the carrier of the oreaeiern cr germ which canses the disease known as Rocky Mountain slanted fever, pre- valent in certain regions of Montana and Idaho, from 5 to 70 per cent. of the eases proving fatal, according to the locality, "So far as I have been able to dis- cover, no certain case of this disease has beep reported. in Canada, but the possibility of its introduction or dis- covery at any time made it desirable that the distribution and habits of this gerta-bearing tick should be in- vestigated, and such an investigation is now being earried on. "Iam anxious to have reports from any medical men of cases of diseases which they suspect of being traceable to the bites of ticks, and aleo speci- mens of woodticks, under which term several species are included." Uncle Dan's Big Feet. One of the prominent figures in the Canadian Senate is the Hon. Daniel Derbyshire, who stands over six feet an is broad in proportion. He has a blidyant manner and his interrup- tionvrinan a member of the House of Commons and in committee created a great deal of mirth. Sir Wilfrid chris- tened him "Uncle Dan," and the name sewn. As "Uncle Dan" he was introduced to Lord Roberts at the Ter- centenary at Quebec, and Sir Wilfrid ccnild not repress• a smile when he saw Uncle Dan, with his six feet six, and Bobs, the diminutive hero of Kandahar and Pretoria, walking to- gether. Everyone acquainted with "Uncle Dan" knows that he is celebrated for his glad hand, cheery smile,. large heart, and his big "understanding." Relating to this last, a good story is frold of his earlier days. He -was visit- ing cheese factories at Lyn, and meet- ing in with's friend, the latter accom- panied him to the station. They reached the depot before the train was due, and filled in the' time walk- ing up ancr down oblivious to the curious glances al two Americans on the platform. This -tale relates to » the days when boots were made with extension or 'grass edged. and Mr. Derbyshire, wleo has a large foot, wore -a pair of these, which were »apptrently size nineteen. As soon as Mr. Derbyshire left the station, the Americans approached the friend and inquired if the big gentle: man lived across the St. Lawrence. "No," he answered. "Why?" They replied that they, were sure he lived across the river, and that he had on a pair of snows »to ferry him across: - Star WeeklY. .
