Lockjaw.

A long series of experiments, illus
trating one of the favorite methods Of
modern science, has proved the terrible
disease of lockjaw, or tetanus, to be
durable. Until last year it was fatal in
nine cases out of ten.
Seven years ago Nicholaier, young
German doctor, found all the symptoms
of tetanus in mice under whose skin he
had placed minute portions of dirt from
streets or open fields. He found that
pus from the wounds gave tetanus to
mice or rabbits inoculated with it, and
that this pus contained peculiar bacil-
lus shaped like drumStick.
KitasatO, young japanese student
with Doctor Koch, of Berlin, succeeded
in 1889 in separating the bacillus from
the pus. So did two Italian students,
one of them woman. They found
that the minutest drop of the Couture"
when placed under the skin of animals,
gave lockjaw, and they showed that this
was because the drumstick-Shaped
bacilli contained a virulent poison,
Separable from the bacilli.
1t was also shown that tetanuS is al
ways due to the same bacillus, and that
this is found everywhere in the surface
soil of streets or fields.
In 1890 Kitasato and another student
discovered that rabbits treated with tri
chloride of iodine were almost perfectly

What q Billion" Means.

Weuse the word "billion very easily,
but few stop to think of the enormous
sum it represents. There are S64OO
seconds of time every day, yet there
have not been days enough since the
beginning of the Christian era to repre-
sent billion of seconds. To do that
would require 1867 years, II days, %
hours, 45 minutes and 5 seconds. A
chain containing one billion of dollars
linked together would pass 773 times
around the globe. A billion sheets of
newspaper placed one upon the other
would form a monument 47,348 miles
high. How easy to use the word
"billion" but how difficult to conceive
it's extent or meaning.-EG.

immune" or safe from lockjaw, and
that their blood injected into normal
rabbit protected it from the malady.
Moreover, the "immune" animal blood
was found to cure far advanced lock-
jaw in white mice.
The two Italian doctors, who had
shared Kitasato's first discovery, an
nounced further that they had made
dogs proof against lOckjaw by inoculat-
ing them gradually with violent tetanus
cultures" and that from the blood of
such "immune" dogs they had extracted
an albuminOus substance which would
destroy the drumstick-sha bacillus
wherever found. From this albumen
they finally made fine powder which re-
tains it's curative properties for months.
The next step was to try the cure on
human sufferers from lockjaw. In 1891
came twelve opportunities to do so, and
in every case, some of them severe in
the extreme, the patient was wholly
cured.
Thus the result of sacrificing limit
ed number of the lower creatures is the
saving of countless human lives through
all future time. Youths Companion.

When His Nerve Failed.

The burglar was not bad looking
man, although his business had a bad
look.
He stood by the door of sleeping
room and peered in.
A faint light was burning and he
could hear the measured breathing of
someone asleep.
Cautiously he crept inside, STOPPING
low, and looked around.
No one was there save sleeping
woman.
In an instant a cloth saturated with
ether was thrown over her face, and he
waited one, two, three-ten minutes,
and the stentorOus breathing of the
sleeper told him the drug was doing it's
work
With dexterous hand he seized the
jewelry and money on the dressing case,
and began quick search in the drawers
of the case.
10000" came voice from the Shad-
Ows of the room.
Quick as flash the burglar clutched
his silent knife and turned to meet his
victim.
No one was visible.
10000" came the voice again, and
the burglar saw child in it's crib by
the foot of the bed.
1t was pretty baby, sleepily holding
up its hands to him.
He let the knife fall to his side, and
stepping over to the crib touched the
child
1t cooed again softly and held up it's
arms for him to take it.
The innnlCQ was hQVOn6 his control
and he lifted the baby to his bosom, and
it nestled its soft, white cheeks down to
his. and put it's arm around his neck.
He purred to it, and in moment it's
curly head was laid against his face,
and it was asleep again.
"Never seen kid like that, he whiS-
pered to himself. "Most of um is afraid
of strangers" and tenderly he laid it in
the crib.
Then he went back to the dressing
| case.
He stood still a moment, and then
looked furtively over his shoulder to-
ward the crib.
The sleeping face of the child was
turned toward him.
Slowly he replaced on the case all
that he had taken from it, hastily
snatched from the woman's face the
saturated cloth. opened window near
the bed, and quietly slipped down stairs.
Once on the street again he looked up
at the house hungrily.
| dang it," he grOwled, "a man that

And he disappeared into the shadows
