The White CorpuScIes.

Wonderful as Ii is to think that our
blood teens with myriads of these in
dependent living blood cells. it is yet
more extraordinary to find that they
resemble the animalcule in another re-
spect. The amOeba eats by enguifng
its food particles with its soft proto-
plasm body. In like manner will a
white blood corpuscle feed itself 1t
will engulf and INCEST solid particles
which fall in its way and will reject
indigestible matters. That work which
we see the white corpuscles doing on
the microscopic slide it effects within
the animal tissues We know now, as
DR.. Waller knew in 1916, that, in virtue
of its independent life, it can push its
way through the soft, delicate walls of
capillary blood vessels and pass into
the tissues.
In place OF regarding these locomo-
tive powers as ways and works OF I'M
usual character We now see that they
form part and parcel of the complex
living mechanism. While it Is the
duty OF the red corpuscles to carry the
oxygen breathed into the blood TO all
parts OF the body, and conversely to
convey the waste carbonic acid gas to
the lungs. there TO be exhaled. the func-
ton OF the white corpuscles is of far
more complicated character. They
perform duty which not only lies
very close to the maintenance of the
organism at large in a natural sense,
but which also bears an important re-
lation to its preservation from agencies
that perpetuaily threaten it with dis
ease and death. -Harper's Magazine.

waiting room of the hotel and here We
used to gather every evening to smoke
our cigars, compare notes on the sport
or the day, and swap yarns
l remember in particular the story
that Lloyd told us, the night before we
parted. 1t was unique and weird.
Lloyd was tremendously big, athletic
fellow, and he had a way of saying
things in that deep bass voice of his
that made them doubly impressive.
He had been sitting for some time
with his chin in his hand. looking
steadily into the open fire. Benson had
been telling a rather commonplace
'host story, and the rest of us had du-
;ifully oh-d and ah-d and pretended 70
SILVER at the proper places, but Lloyd
faid never word. When silence set
tied upon the little group once more,
crossed his feet, and remarked:
Now, boys, | am going to tell you a
ghost story the like of which you never
heard before, and the best of it is it's
all true, for it happened to me exactly
as shall tell it,
when l was in Sweden, some fifteen
years ago, | had an opportunity to do
considerable cunning, as my friend and
host was a landed proprietor and con-
trolied the hunting and fishing rights
OF large and valuable territory. In
this tract was one large lake, called

fish. particularly pike of remarkable
size. lowering over this lake almost
constantly were few pairs of whitish-
gray birds which the Swedes called
eagles-great, magnificent. broad
winged creatures, whose food consisted
OF the large fish that were so plentiful
in the waters of their habitat.
Il had strong desire to shoot one
of these birds, although | knew them to
be held in almost sacred esteem by
the inhabitants, who believed that il
anyone should kill one of them, he
would be haunted by the sprite Of the
bird as long as he lived. But not being
the least bit superstitious, my passion
for obtaining a specimen of each new
bird or animal l came across in my
travels easily overcame all scruples,
and | forthwith laid my plans to secure
one of these sea-eagles.
II shall never forget the circum-
stances connected with the shooting of
this bird. 1t was a bright still after
noon. had been lying for hours be-
hind large rock on the shore of the
lake waiting for one Of the birds to
come within range of my fowling-piece.
A pair of them were sailing hither and
thither above the surface of the lake,
waiting fer an opportunity to pounce
upon some pike or other fish that might
be summing itself at the top Of the
water. At length l saw one OF the
eagles drop like shot from a height
of more than hundred feet and strike
the water in cloud of foam and spray.
The next moment he rose, bearing a
good-siZed fish in his talons, and flew
heavily toward the shore. My heart
began to thump against my ribs, as
saw that, If the eagle held to his
