MICROBES DO NOT EXIST.
That is Where the Cold Reaches the
Arctic Degree.

1t is highly probable that microbes do
not exist in polar regions and at great
elevations Most probably all of them
are killed by intense cold. 1t IS for this
reason that frozen meat can be preserved
fresh for an indefinite time, says Pear
sons Weekly.
The fossil mammoths which have been
discovered in the banks of Siberian rivers,
imbedded in ice, are often quite undecom-
posed, and their flesh is eaten by dogs.

ity of microbes by exposing solutions Of
sugar to the air on the higher SUBMITS Of
the Alps, where he found that fermen-
tation did not take place, whereas 1t low

higher, the liquids quickly became turbid
owing to the presence of microbes.
DR.. Nansen furnishes an amusing con-
firmation of the truth of the above state
ments He Informed the writer that as
soon as his companions returned to Nor

north they all caught cold, but had been

that the catarrh microbe had been unable

Hints for Flower-Growers.

Just now is a splendid season for re-

use of Paris green or hellebore, the for

either by spraying or busting on the foil
age while damp.
Neglect in protecting planted-out ten
der seedlings from the first scorching
rays of the sun and dry parching winds
results disastrously.
Use no natural fertilizers until they
have become thoroughly rotted
Young saplings transplanted from the
woods to the open lawn should have a
protection of burlap about the trunk

used to the sun.
