* TSCHTJDI. 511 TSI-NAN Ftr. cantons and became, in 1558, chief magistrate of Ularus. He was a bitter opponent of the Refor- mation and sought to cheek the spread of the new doctrines by force of arms. This brouglit him great unpopularity and necessitated liis tem- porary absence from the canton. During his last years lie took little share in political affairs, and devoted his time to a study of the vast amount of historical materials which during many years he had gatherei.1 from public archives and the libraries of monasteries. His Die uralt vuhrlwftig alpisch Rhetia was published at Basel in 1538, but his two great works, the Schweizer- clirotiilc, or C'hronicon Ueh^eticum, and the Gallia Coinala, did not appear till more than one hun- dred and sixty years after the author's death. The Schweizerchronik covers the period 1100- 1470, and is valuable for the large number of original documents incorporated in the text. Though uncritical, the Schircizerchronik has re- mained the great source for Swiss history. The Gallia Comata is in nature antiquarian, and was intended as an introduction to the C'hronicon Helveticum. TSCHUDI, Clara (1857—). A Norwegian author, born at Tonsberg of Swiss parents.

A biting fly (Glossina morsitans) of the family Muscidre, related to the common stable fly (q.v.), which occurs in portions of Africa. The tsetse- fly bites all warm-blooded animals, but seems particularly attracted to cattle and horses. Its bite was formerly considered poisonous, and ap- parently produced death in beasts of burden coming from regions where the fly does not occur. The disease produced hy the bite is called 'nagana.' Animals which have once recovered ap- pear to be immune, or 'salted.' It has been de- termined that the bite of the tsetse-fly is not specifically poisonous, but that the insect acts as the carrier of a hfematozoan parasite, taking it with the blood of diseased animals and carry- ing it to nonimmunes. The tsetse-fly does not lay eggs, but multiplies by producing, one at a time, full-grown larv.-E which immediately change to pupie, just as do the so-called pupiparous Diptera. It was at one time supposed that the tsetse-fly would form a serious obstacle to the settlement of Africa by civilized races, but this is not the case. Only certain animals are affected by the disease, and the fly acts simply as a car- rier; moreover, cattle became immune after residence in infected regions. TSHI, tshe, or CHWI.
