The death of how renOrte1 2 fpw davS

The death of boy reported few days
ago was declared by the doctor to have
been due to disease of the liver, caused
by the kiss of a dog. The lad had been
i'll for year with hydatds of the liver,
a disease common in Iceland, where the
people eat and sleep with their dogs
Physicians state that almost every germ
may be transmitted by a dog, and that
no doubt great numbers of persons de as
a result Of the kissing of pets. Dogs are
claimed to acquire the germs Of tubercu-
losis from the expectoration of consump-
tives. The doctors say dogs may easily
give pneumonia, which is caused by the
germ called Dneumococci. There is hard
ly a germ that won't communicate"
something and if doctors-especially
young doctors who have time OH their
hands and can be interviewed" by re-
porters-had their way humanity's time
would be spent in hunting for germs. All
the same our great-grandfathers con-
trived to live comfortably and to die at
a well-seasoned old age and not one Of
them would have known what a bacillus
was had they met one on the street.

The Biblical story Of the supply Of
mamma in the wilderness will be suggest
ed to many minds in the report from In
dia that a substance has been discovered
exuding from the bamboo forests in the
central provinces of India. 1t is shown
by David Hooper in Nature that the ex-
istence Of such a substance was known
to the ancients, and is mentioned in some
botanies, although it is not recorded by
modern travellers. Says Mr.. Hooper;
THE strange appearance of mama on
the stems Of the bamboo was reported
last March by the divisional forest Off
Ger, Chanda, central provinces, and no
tees Of this phenomenon have been pub
lished in the local papers. The bamboo
forests of Chanda consist of Dendrocala-
mus strictus, the male bamboo, bushy
plant from twenty to thirty feet in height,
and affecting the cooler northerly and
westerly slopes of central and southern
India. This is said to be the first time
IN the History Of these forests that !:
sweet and gummy substance has been
known to eXude from the trees. The gum
has been exuding in some abundance, and
it has been found very palatable to the
natives in the neighborhood, who have

The completion of the bargain is mat
