Melons for the Million.

There is great rejoicing in the City of
Culture. The learned professor has laid
aside his Latin lexicon and looks up with
an expression indicative of profound con-
tentment. The classical maiden has re-
moved her spectacles and her face seems
refulgent with hope and faith. The stu
dious small boy has recklessly flung away
his Greek grammar and actually attempts
to emulate the example of less learned
lads by trying to turn somersault. The
colOred citizens classic countenance is
lightened up with a gigantic grin, and the
gives evidence that he is indulging in in
trospection. The physician chuckles
softly to himself as he prepares prescrip-
tions which will soon be needed by suffer-
ing patients. One steamer from Georgia
brought to Boston the other day $1,000
melons.

DIR. KocHs MrcRoBE.
The Existence of the g Comma Shaped"
BACILLUS Doubted.

In an article in Nature. certainly good
authority, says the New York Times, some
doubts are expressed as to the existence
of a particular bacillus in cholera, desig-
mated by DIR. Koch as a microbe. DR..
Koch describes this bacillus as fcomma
shaped" and found in the discharges Of
the cholera patient. In his report to the
German Government, DR.. Koch argued
that this bacillus, having found entrance
into the cavity Of the intestines, "there
multiplies, and produces some ferment,
which, absorbed into the system, sets up
the whole chain of appearances constI-
tuting the symptoms of cholera" But. as
the writer in Nature argues, the alimen-
tary canal is not the only passage through
which the cholera poison enters the
system, but that its entrance
through the respiratory organs Is also an
established fact. The trouble of the ali
mentary canal, then, is a symptom of the
malady, and apparently only a symptom.
DR.. Koch has never found this comma
shaped bacillus IN the blood or tissues.
The question at once hinges, apparently,
ON this: Is the cholera germ received by
respiration or by contact? If we are
properly informed, DIR. Koch is somewhat
careful about his hands when touching
cholera patients. In his bold researches
in presence of the actual plague, If abb
soTption of cholera by breathing an in
fected atmosphere would have gwen Or.
Koch the disease he would have
taken it long ago. The writer
in Nature, undeniably proficient,
states that in examining the evacua-
tiOns of patients who had been Ill IN Corn
wall of diarrhea in 1888, in addition to the
ordinary micrococci and straight bacilli,
the comma-shaped ones were discovera-
BILE, and these were exactly like those
known as the Koch microbes. Microscope
lists may have had their attention called
to Cohn, who, noticing curved forms,
cIassed them as vibrios. There can be no
wish to disparage DIR. Koch's self-devo-
ton and heroism; still, the subject of
cholera, and what may be the visible germ
of the disease, is so important subject
that every possible light should be sought
for as to what might be the distinctive
character of this particular cholera ba-
cillus, if any such special one does exist.
