Bacteria In Ink.

Bacteria, dangerous 10 health and
life, have been found in the air we
breathe. the water We drink, in various
kinds of foods. and even in the mucil-
age on the ubiquitous postage stamp.
but it remained for the eminent Ger
man scientist, DR. Warpmann, of Leip-
zig, TO discover the poisonous bacteria
living and thriving in ink.
He has recently made a microscope
cal examination OF siXty-seven samples
OF ink used in the schools in Germany
and in other countries Most Of these
we're gall inks, and contained various
sorts OF bacteria, as well as those
other minute organisms known IN the
scientific world as saprOphytes a1d
micrococci. Nigrosin ink, taken from
n freshly opened bottle, which had mp
10 that time been tightly cOrked and
sealed, was found TO contain bacteria
in large quantities. Red and blue
inks Of the sort so frequently used in
Offices also yielded numerous bacteria.
To determine whether or not these
bacteria were really rs poisonous as
chemical analysis would seem to sug-
eest. DIR. Warpmann decided 20 "cul-
tivate" some specimens for actual ex-
pertinent. The result Of these expert
ments showed that bacillis from or
binary black ink would, if introduced
into the blood Of mouse, prove fatal
within four days Similar expert
ments the doctor in the interest OF
science performed upon other small
animals rabbits, guinea pigs and the
like always with the same fatal re-
suit. New York World
