MICROBES ANp FLoWERs.

Two subjects which raise more diff
ferent sensations in the human breast
could hardly have been combined than
those OF the heading to this brief arti-
Gle. The word microbe conveys to us
the fear of disease and death, for we
take little notice of microbes Of the
healthful kind, while the ideas nes-
Ting around flowers are always beauti-
ful and ennobling But there is a rea-
son for this strange combination since
science has shown that the sweet
smelling flower is. in many instances,
a deadly enemy to the life-destroying
microbe.
According to the Hospital Review
some interesting experiments with the
odors Of flowers have been made in the
old world and it is found that many
species OF microbes are easily destroy
ed by various odors. The odor OF
cloves has been known to destroy these
minute creatures in thirty-five min
utes; cinnamon will kill some species
in twelve minutes; thyme i'm thirty
five minutes. In forty-five minutes
common wild verbena is found effec-
tive, while the odor Of some geranium
flowers has destroyed various forms Of
microbes in fifty minutes. The essence
OF cinnamon is said to destroy the ty-
phoid fever microbe in twelve min
utes. and is recorded as the most ef-
fective Of all odors as an antiseptic. It
is now believed that flowers. which are
found in Egyptian mummies, were
placed there more for their antiseptic
properties than as mere ornaments.
