The blood also possesses certain pro-
pertieS of defence against microbes
the nature of which scientists are only
lust beginning TO find out. Microbes
will flourish in the blood of certain
animals. Diphteria. for instance, does
not infect rats OF mice. There are in
the blood of these animals certain
floating substances which have de-
structive properties so far as the bac-
terra of diphtheria are concerned.
When the bacteria attack any point OF
the organism these substances receive
an automatic signal and float to that
point. There they help to destroy the
invaders.
Acting in cooperation with these
substances are those corpuscleS of the
blood which are called ''phagocytes. y
They not only attack the microbes,
but eat them.

Scientists Daily Making New Discoveries

Carried by Flies.
The relations of insects and bacteria
to man are Of the highest importance
and are only just beginning to be ap-
preciated in q vague manner by the
public.
The extent to which diseases are
conveyed by insects is appalling.
Scientists are daily making new dis
coveries of this character. AS a very
pertinent illustration of what takes
place it may be pointed out that the
majority of our soldiers lost in the late
war died from typhoid fever carried
by flies.
Texas fever is conveyed by the
Southern cattle tick. Professor Koch
found that the Tsetse fly, which causes
an enormous loss Of cattle in Africa,
kills not simply by its bite but also
by introducing harmful micro-or-
ganisms into the blood of its victim.

into the blood of man by mosquitoes.

sparrow Carriers.

A man I'm Georgia some time ngo
caught some sparrows aud trained
them so that he can open their cage
and they viii hy back again without
any other inducement than the love Of
their home. This trainer watched the
birds carefully and made up his mind
that sparrows could be trained TO do
the work Of carrier pigeons and that,
as they were smaller, they could be
more valuable In case of war. He
gave one Of his sparrows 70 a friend
who was going q distance of one hum
dred and fifty miles, and told him to
free the bird when he had reached the
end Of his journey, and at the same
time 20 telegraph him when he did so.

rect to its cage, making the journey In
a little over an hour and a half.

from Kentucky in the worlds fair

good education for one Of his meagre
opportunities, and with good morals
and ambition. He became a newsboy,
and his attention to business and his
thrift soon enabled him to buy a
horse and wagon to use in his growing
news business. Now he owns and
uses eight carts and horses, and has a
smart trap in which to drive around.
He owns real estate in the city worth

FUNSTON BRINGS SUIT.
Archbishop Of Ireland and Catholic
Paper Charged With Libel.


A special to The Kansas City Star
from Albuquerque, N. NJ, says;
General Frederick Funston, who is
enroute home with the mustered out
Twentieth Kansas, has wired his
Topeka attorneys, eileen, Ware &
Gieen, to bring proceedings against
Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul, for
criminal libel because of statements
attributed to the archbishop in re-
cent interview.
General Funston also instructed his
lawyers to begin criminal and civil
proceedings against the Monitor,
Catholic paper of San Francisco,
which first printed the story.
In o recent interview in Chicago,
Archbishop ireland was quoted as say
ing that General Funston had been
charged with looting Catholic churches
in the PHILIPPINES. The charges alleged
to have been referred to by the arch
bishop were made by the editor Of
The Monitor, soon after the landing
Of the Kansas troops in San Francisco.
The Monitor stated, it is said, that
General Funston had taken two mag
nifcent chalices from certain church
in the Philippines and had sent them
home to his wife. Archbishop Ire-
land in his Chicago interview was
quoted as calling upon General Funs-
ton to deny the truth of the article and
sue the editor of The Monitor for libel,
or the public would be obliged, against
its will, to believe him guilty of the
