Pestiiential Cholera Of RuSsia.-In the French Academy of Sciences, M. Moreau de Jonnes has presented some new details re- specting the disorder which has caused so much alarm in Russia. The pestiential cho- lera has three times advanced toward Europe by different directions. It was imported from Bengal into the isles of France and Bourbon, in 1919, and threatened to follow the course of communication with India, and to arrive with the numerous ships bound for Great Bri- tain and France. Sanitary measures taken at the Cape of Good Hope prevented this. In 1891, the intercourse between Bombay and the ports in the Arabi m Gulf introduced it into Ballorak, whence it ascended the Eu- pirates, traversed Mesopotama, following the direction of commerce, and appeared in Syria. There, vie lding to the cold of winter, but re-appearing again in spring, it ravaged the country for three years and invaded most of the towns situated on the Mediterranean. Again, in the year 1925, it arrived at Buchara, and extended gradually to Moscow, whither it had penetrated on the 28th of September last. M. Moreau thinks that the cholera morbus was brought to Russia by the cara vans, which are so large that they employ from three to four thousand camels From his researches M. Moreau has deduced the following conclusions. First, that there is reason to hope that the cold of winter in the Russian province, situated between the 45th and s7th degrees of latitude, will check the progress of the contagion. Secondly, that notwithstanding numerous examples give oc- casion to apprehend that this contagion spread over vast country, and through large popu- lation, will be only suspended during thewin- ter, but will recover with the approach Of spring all its activity and violence. Thirdly, that if this he the case all Europe may be gradually invaded by this terrible malady, as is the belief of the English Ambassador at the Russian Court. This opinion is the more probable, as the contagion would acquire an additional violence on arriving in those coun- tries of Europe which are warmer than Rus sia, and would be propagated with greater ra- pidity on reaching countries where the popu- lation is more dense and the intercourse more frequent and rapid. ~
