Interesting Facts About the 2fysterloui
Organisms Called bacteria


Bacteria are not insects or ssbugs,"
says the Popular Science News, but
plants. They have however, tho power
of spontaneous motion. Like other
living things they take in matter ard
potential energy and give of matter
and manifest energy.
In common with all vegetables not
possessing chlorophyll they require
organic. food for the maintenance of
life, but they can subsi3t upon food that
contains no protcid, being able to take
nitrogen and sulphur from inorganic
sources and carbon from; organic
sources, and with water they build u
protcid material. They share rcspir;;-
ton in common with all living thiaTs

they exist: and certain chemical pro
ccs3c3 attributable to them evidently
depend upon this power Of unlocking
oxygen from stable compounds. Bac-
. toria arc very. widely distributed. being
present in TIC atmosphere in vast num-
bGr5, and also existing in earth and
water. They cover the surface of our
bodies and line our entire alincntary
canals; fortunately, however, they arc
chiefly of the benign variety, which
will not thrive il living tissues-hcnce
called non-pathogcnic.
These lnicl'o-orTaniGrns arc among the
smallest objects which the microscope
reveals. a very common form of bac-
terra is that known Us the bactcriura
fcr1no, which Is an elongated, rod-lil1c
cell about 1-25, 900 Of an inch IL breadth
and less than twice it's breadth in
length. 1t is non-pathogcnic, easily
killed by anticipates, and is always
founl in putrcfying or septic fluids;
hence it IS sometimes called the carrion
or septic fungus.
Cold (&3 degrees Fahrcnhcit) suspcnds
the animation Of bacteria, but does not

kills many bacteria, but those that ere

can Withstand the temperature of 212

In general terms extremes of heat have
more destructive action to bacteria
than extremes of cold. Heat without

The Carson Appeal is exposing the
hypocrisy Of State officials. 1t says
that for years they have not pur-
chased dollars worth Of supplies in
tire State If they Could possibly avoid
it. They made special trips to San
Francisco to select goods, aud of
course, though the Appeal forgot to
say so, took good caro- TO draw their
Eilaries for the time they were absent
from tho State,
During the campaign last year tire
men now in Office had much to say
about patronizing home industry and
home merchants, but tho Appeal s;lys
1t was for campaign. purposes and
meant nothing. In proof of this the
fact is cited that the Board OF Cap
it'll Commissioners purchased several
hundred yards of carpet for the
State. Bids were sent in by Reno
and Carson merchants, with samples
OF the carpets, but the Capitol Com
missioners rejected the bids and pur-
chased the goods ia San Francisco,
probably two, if not all of the Com
missioners, going to that city to make
!he selection drawing their salaries
meanwhile which the hone merchants
are taxed to pay. -, g..
Isn't it about time for the people to
set the seal of their disapproval on
the hypocrisy of the Office seeker?
Are the people of Nevada, who arc as
intelligent as whole as those of any
other State in the Union, going to
permit themselves to be duped eter-
nally by the campaign orator? Why
ito they year after year, without pro
last, permit State officers who arc the
servants Of the people, to act as if
they owned the State? Why not in
s;st on having every transaction per-
tanning to thu welfare and financial
Interests of the State done publicly
and above board? What right have
the Capitol or any other Commission
"rs intru3ted with the management
OF State institution to privately
purchase supplies Of, or have work
performed by, favorites who are given
tho preference, for aught that is
known to the contrary, for Il share Of

1t is stated today that men from

ever. This is gross injustice to
honest and capable mechanics who
have a right to compete even with
