ARE ATONING TICKS,
British Columbia insect le Under
Careful Expert Scrutiny.
Iri reference to the reported state.
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.
