The bubonic plague, which at
intervals has ravaged whole na
lions, is carried by fleas from one
person to another. Scientists dis
covered that rat are the inter
nediary. A flea bites a plague
victim, then attaches itself to a
rat. Any flea that bites that rat
will infect any person vvnor.i he
later bites. Once that was proved,
the remedy was clear. Extermi
nate rats, and keep them from
traveling from plague-infe3ted re
gions to other parts of the world.
That is ships’tied why in every ' Seaport,
one sees up to their
piers with wide, circular metal
shields affixed to their hawsers.
Those are to keep rats from leav

plague port, or from going aboard
if there is plague in the port

ropse as bridges to travel between
ship and shore.
All the civilized nations have
adopted the same methods to pre
