Much has been heard of recent years
about bacteria, but not many people
have any definite idea of their size. Mr..
Roechling in a recent lecture before
the Leicester, England. Philosophical
Society, states that 10000 of them in a
row would probably measure inch in
length. A population of bacteria,
equal in numbers to the people. of
greater London, could be accommodate
ed, without overcrowding, on square
inch of territory. Packed tight, there
would be standing room for 400, 900, 600
bacteria on single square inch. 1t is
little wonder therefore, that nobody
ever suspected their presence till Lee
ukenhosk lighted on them in the year

PARIS. May Slam. according to a dis
patch from Singapore, has coded to France
the province OF Luang-Prabang. in the
northeastern part of the kingdom France.
in return, undertakes TO evacuate the town
Of Chantaboon, about 175 miles west OF
Bangkok. near the gulf OF Siam, and to
withdraw from the so-called neutral zone.
The boundary between Burmah and
northwest Siam was delimited in 1891 by a
commission, and by the treaty of Septem-
Der. 1893, the River Mekong was consti-
tuted the boundary between Siam and the
French possessions. BY the terms of the
latter agreement France was at liberty to
erect stations on a observation-disclosures
strip on the west side of the river. The to-
tai area, including the country between the
Mekong and the AMMAN hills, already ac-
knowledged to belong to France, is esti
mated at about 10000 square miles. of which
France has appropriated. on one pretext or
another. more than 10000 square miles. and
the transmekong portion of the province, or
state. Of Luang-Prabang, has for some time
been under French protection.
