The Tartars were besieging the fort at the time, and Chinese merchants took refuge there. The siege was lifted by the Investing army, which fled from the plague, thus spreading the Infection southward Into Asia Minor. Syria and Egypt. Ships from the Buxine car¬ ried the contagion to Constantinople and to Genoa, and thence It radiated, fanshape, throughout the Mediter¬ ranean littoral. In August, 1348, England's first black death victim succumbed In Dor¬ setshire. By November It had reached London. By the summer of 1349 It had dragged its pall of putrefaction over the entire island, including Scot¬ land. Norwich, which had been the second city of the kingdom, dropped to sixth In size, more than two-thirds of Its population falling victims of the scourge. Cultivation of the fields was utterly Impossible and there were not even enough sble-bodled laborers to gather the crops which had matured. Cattle roamed through the corn unmolested and the harvest rotted where It stood. —National Geographic Magazine. Newspaper Story Well Worth Being Told Again Perhaps It’s because newspaper men are a clannish lot of lads and prefer, when not engaged in their arduous duties, to be of and among themselves to seeking the company of others, but It strikes this observer that those who are alien to the newspaper profession hear few stories respecting the ac¬ tivities of the boys from the paper offices. Certainly the young man—or young woman—who Is engaged In gathering the news of the day en¬ counters plenty of adventure, some of it funny and again some of it not so funny. Practically every newspaper man In the world lias heard the story of the cub reporter who, being of a tludd na¬ ture, was assigned by his city editor to Interview the Irascible capitalist whose lovely daughter had just run off with the family chauffeur. In fear and trembling he rang the doorbell. "Ls Mr. Jones In?” he asked the maid who answered the door. “No, he Is not," she replied. ‘‘Thank Qotjj" said the reporter, and fell off the steps? The story is so familiar to news¬ paper men (In fact it is incorporated lg many of the textbooks that now aim to teach the young reporter how to shoot) that one wonders how gen ™>iiw if in known by the public.
