When Fancluli and the Marine Band

affair. but the gist OF its sixteen pages is

bers of the electoral boards. OF the boards

represented on such boards, and effect

the control Of every electoral board and

Eggs and Microbes.

DR.. McClintock of the University Of
Michigan has performed experiments
which indicate that eggs may become
infected with microbes before they are
laid. A healthy hen, after repeated
gashings in sterilized solutions, was
placed in sterilized cage. As soon az
possible after being laid portion of hen
eggs were placed in sterilized cotton an'
then in an incubator. All these eggs de
cayed and swarmed with bacteria The
remaining eggs were taken as soon as
laid, and cultures were made from their
contents. Some of these culture tubes
developed; others remained sterile. Aft,
er some days the hen was killed, and
with proper aseptio precautions culture
tubes were inoculated from various por-
tions of the oviduct Most Of these tubes
developed. Itwould thus seem probable
that the putrefactive bacteria entered
.::.s egg in its passage down the oViduct
and before the she'll was formed
