Moreover all these murderous pris-

they are no longer wanted, they are

we are assured by those who may be

of typhus, tetanus, tuberculosis, an

which apparently was not even kept

practitioners, after some instructive,
though very unpleasant, personal ex-
periences, have learned their lesson.

lost his life in consequence, has not
been forgotten. That has been our
nearest approach to the Vienna Incl
dent.
Probably the only places where any
tendency to recklessness ever mani
tests itself is in colleges and medical
schools, and even there only on the
part of raw students. But the boys are
well watched. If any callow and bump
tious youth shows a disposition to ex-
plot his hardihood in dealing with dan
gerous germs, he is promptly sup
pressed.
But why is it necessary to cultivate
germs at all? some one may ask. The
reasons are many and of such vital
Importance that they would justify the
practice even If the risks were far
greater than it is.
For example, physicians and health
officers are continually making cultures
to determine whether contagious dis
eases exist in suspected cases. Gull
lures are also necessary for the
discovery and the production OF

less. Though they are frequently called

not animals-though in organisms SO
low and simple the distinction is small.
And they kill chiefly by poisoning; the
patient, for example, who dies of diph-
theria or scarlet fever, dies from es-
sentially the same cause as if he had
eaten poisonous mushrooms. And here
we see the value of antitoxines; they
are antidotes to the poison generated
by the germs.
In fact, instead of eating living flesh.
1t is the microbes themselves that are
in danger of being eaten. 1t is a very
strange thing. When germs invade the
body, the white ccrpuscles-those curl
Gus little fishes that swarm in our
blood-usually make a grand rally.
They gather about the intruders in
great force. attack them, and in some
cases actually swallow them and swim
off with them!

ly true. Microscopists have caught

enemies, and thus save the life of which
they form part. 1t is believed, also.
that they generate protective antitox-
ines. They seem to act both as the po-
lice and the scavengers of the highways
of the human body. Their color makes
them highly suggestive of the white
wings Of our cities.
The most startling thing about mi
crobes is the wonderful rapidity with
which they can multiply, provided the
conditions are favorable. Their meth
cd is extremely simple. All they have
to do is to break in two; then each
part grows and divides again. This
operation is repeated about once an
hour, or even oftener. If the process
should go on unchecked, one germ
might in a single day produce 16,5OO, 900.
This is the estimate of Professor Conn
of Wesleyan University. BY the end
of the second day the number would
be 2S1, 100000 900 These, although each
one is so minute-say a millionth of an
inch in diameter on the average
would in the mass about fill pint cup,
and their combined weight would
amount to a po,lnd. But on the third
day, their progress staggers belief. At
it's close their number would be 47,000,-
900, 100000, and the total weight would
be 5000 tons
This, however astounding, is strictly
accurate-in theory. OF course nothing
of the sort ever comes to pass in fact.
The germs, instead of multiplying with
out restraint, commonly have a hard
fight to exist at all, as we have seen;

antitoxines for the cure of germ
diseases. The results obtained are
simply invaluable. Statistics show
that in New York City, where diph-
liberia was formerly fearful scourge,
especially among children in the crowd
ed tenement districts, the mortality
from this cause is no more than one
third what it was before the above
methods were introduced. By such
means, again, the true character of
disease In doubtful cases can be deter
mined with degree of promptness and
certainty previously unattainable. Pull
monary consumption is good in
stance. Moreover, the widespread and
persistent study of germs has. as
everybody knows, shed much light on
the nature and cause Of many diseases,
and on the proper treatment and pre-
cautions. In short, germ culture, in

organization. 1t is an army Of the ma
ton, and the mixture of social ranks
and the total disregard of social dis
tinction are among it's notable features.
The necessity for universal military
service is generally recognized, and the
burdens it imposes are, on the whole,
cheerfully accepted. The influence of
this service upon the national charac-
ter and the national development is a
complete refutation of the pessimistic
American theories concerning the de-
moralization of military life. One who
has served in the ranks, Hilaire Be1loc,
in an article published in the Contem-
porary Review three years ago, said:

| 100000 and the command Of even 100,-
900 men is beyond the strength of most
| soldiers of high command. In their war
with Germany, the French had, it is
true, 2,100,000 men under arms-a total
exceeding even the host of our Civil
War--but, like us, they never had this
number under arms at any one time.
When their actual army was swept
away they raised with great rapidity
other forces, which represented armies,
but In fact were great masses of un-
drilled or half-drilled men. With the
large forces she has in reserve now,
the question Is not how many soldiers
France can call to arms. but how many
her generals can command with sue
cess.
1t Is remarkable that while France
has men far in excess of the ability of
even the most brilliant general to COM
mand and beyond the power of her
| railroads to supply, her power of mo-
bilization is limited by an insufficient
stock of horses. With about 100000
horses constantly in service in peace
times she would need no less than 4S3,-
900 animals for cavalry, artillery, wagon
and other trains in war. BY. an eab-
