sToRY oF A MALARIA GERM.

what one or Them Has to Contend with
in the Human system.
Theodore Waters, in Ainslee's. has
edited the life story Of malaria germ.
Here is the germs description of
fight with the phagocytes Just then
& lot OF our new born brothers began
crowding upon MS from behind, and
when We turned to demonstrate we
saw, away to the rear, grand COM
motion. A fight and retreat were
going on. it was slaughter OF the
most horrible kind. There at the
head of a tide of blood were columns
OF phagocytes cutting into the rear
guard Of malaria germs, killing them,
swallowing them whole and growing
lustier as the pl ocess went on. 1t was
an awful spectacle. hung back, fas
cinated \ pha-ocyte would race
down the cmr.. with a swift, over
hand slrok, each out and grasp n
microbe from behind. Then the arm
Of the phagocyte would shorten, and,
as it seemed to me, retreat into the
white monsters interior, dragging the
germ with it. Sometimes phago-
cyte would grow facetious, and would
bump against a poor germ as though
shouldering him out OF the road.
Away would go the poor germ swim
ming fast in order 10 avoid the Gu
counter, but his enemy would then
swim iaster, striking him fair in the
middle, and with slow motion going
inside out like glove, and actually
taking tue germ in with him. Ugh !
/ should have remained there in
sheer spell if my companion had not
pulled me along with him.
Make for a red blood cell, ho
called as we went onward.
What, said ]. "A rel cell? We
have just come from onep
Never mind, he replied, find a
red cell and eat your way inside. 1t
is our only chance. See, the others
are doing itn
Sure enough, many of my brethren
had selected good red blood cells and
were penetrating the skin and climb
ing inside to escape the phagocytes.
1t seemed to me so unfortunate, just
as we had gained our freedom. but it
was better than death, So we looked
for cells. Every cell we came to, how
ever, was being occupied, and it
seemed to me that the phagocytes
were gaining on us when my COM
panion suddenly pulled me TO one
side and cried
Look out Look out! Keep
away from that current near the cen
tire there. 1t is worse than deathr
What is it?' l cried, for could
see nothing.
Don't you see?' he said, hugging
the wall of the tunnel, there it is,
that discoored streak, running near
the centre of the stream. 1t is caused
by what men call quinine, and it is
deadly if you swim in it.
How does il affect yOu?' l asked.
IF you swallow it, it numbs you
makes you incapable of motion
stupeties aud prevents you climbing
into red blood cell--it is living

cytes
/ 81 shuddered and swan on. At the
cad OF sewer.like opening, my friend
darted to one side and seized a red
blood cell which was unoccupied. He
began work on it at once.
'Good-by, brotherr he said. Here
is where l stop. I've work to do.
Hope you'll get ont of the wet before
our white friends catch you. Look
out for the quinine streaks.
