who began experiments at Kings College
Hospital says:
''rhe exact nature of the constituent
fluid of the lymp is unknown but it is evi.
dent that it is product of the bacillus
itself, though how it is prepared is not yet
known.
"A full dose for an adult is a cubic cen.
ti-metre. The injection is made in the
back, The nnid acts through the blood.
The huid does not actually destroy the
baciiii- 1T acts on the tissues, or cells, in
which the bacilli are snugly hiding, leav-

The rapidity with which the effects o.
the fluid make themselves apparent show
plainly what wonderful agency it is ant
what care Is needed in using it,

see in your book on British Birds"
you state that the kestrel is easily
tanned. Our bird was taken from a
nest last year and put into a cage out
of doors, for ii few days only, and
tiedged. He was then turned out and
flew across the park into the woods
and was seen no more for some days.
when he returned, found his way into
the house, and has never voluntarily
left it since We often turn him out
and see him Il mile or more from the
house, but soon after find him search
ing for an open window by which he
may reach the dining-room, where he
lives by preference. perching on a pic
ture-frame, but always coming on my
husbands arm when called even
through the glare of lamps and can
dies. He invariably twitters a sort of
soft song when we speak to him. He
is grand bird. perfect in plumage.
| have Il white rat, who lives as all
our pets do, entirely loose in the house
or garden, perfectly free to leave us if
they choose. The rat was given to me
as old and worthless two years ago,
then quite wild. He gradually became
extremely tame, and, during a severe
illness | had last year, he took it into
his head to sit on my pillow to guard
me. Ever since then he has continued
to sleep there; he runs upstairs with
me, and follows me to bed, sleeping
always on the bolster or pillow by my
head. He is very plucl1y and defend
ed himself during one whole night
when he was shut up accidentally
ly in the same room with large and
savage cat. He was found sitting up,
with teeth and claws ready, and was
perfectly overjoyed when his human
friends took him up. Though six
months have elapsed, nothing will in
duce him to enter that room again.
Our dogs are perfect friends with him.
He uses his left paw always when
drinking, 'ladling' the water up to
his mouth, even from the bottom of
tumbler, and is quite 'left-handed.-
