Examining now by the aid of the mi
croscope drop of the water which we
collected from the stream or pond we
can see number of very small rod
shaped bodies distributed throughout,
and also some small spherical bodies
some OF which can be seen to change
their position and move about with
great rapidity. These are some forms
or the much-talked-O bacteria-the
very lowest form of life known, and
the most universally found in nature of
all plants or animals. Manyand varied
have been the discussions as to whether
they themselves should he classified as
plant or animal. but it is now uni
yersally conceded they belong to the
former, and small as they are (yarying
in the spherical forms from OOOOOl2 10
O,G0O0G OF an inch) their universal pres
ence and their great power of multi
piication render them of great impor-
taace.
They are found almost everywhere
on the surface of the soil, in all bodies

or hiding place. in milk and wine, in
flies and bees, aud, in short, wherever
on the face of nature there may be a
chance for the lodgment of dust or
filth.
But" one may ask, "of what use are
they--are they good or bad?" In so far
as the last question goes it can only be
said if the reader should ever discover
the original starting point of the life
of bacteria, future generations will
arise who will "call his name blessed"
They also are both good and bad"
according us their reproduction is
checked or unchecked. Everyone is fa-
miliar with the fact that il milk Qor

comes sour, but not everyone knows
that it is because of the unchecked
growth of a certain form of bacteria
Their multiplication is performed by
Il method known us flssion, or simple
division. Each one elongates and
then divides in the middle, forming
two separate individuals-who them

numbers, and it has been computed
that "in "a hours one single bacterium
would produce 16,5OO,OO0 others, and
in two days sl,500, 100000, which
would make about one solid pint of
bacteria and weigh about pound.
At the end of the third day the total
descendants would amount to 47,000..
000,O00,000, weighing about 16,00O,OO0
pounds" OF course, these figures
simply stand for unchecked growth,
which could not possibly exist for
many reasons, chief among which is
lack of proper food or the poison of
their own eNcretion, which is fatal
to them. Many of them are prac.
tically indcstructible, for they can
stand II temperature much higher
than boiling water, and far below
freezing; some require oxygen to live
and some others can live without:
some are responsible for various dis
eases and to the presence of some
others we owe the delicate flavors of
cheese, wine, etc; in short, the pow
or eNertcd by these lowest of all low
organisms, either as friends or foes, is
almost incidentally great.
But while observing the bacteria we
have not neglected to notice another

by the "ordinary" individual in his
lack OF fuller knowledge, and only the
disjointed strains remain as II prelude
tothe complete masterpiece of life; and
even when we stumblingly endeavor To
trace out for ourselves few of the
more common paths of life and its ori-
gin we are confused and dismayed al
the task before us. Finding our prog

which are beyond our understanding
we stop and despair OF any clearer in

Even as we lave begun at the begin

that we also commence with the lowli-

requires microscopic power of at
least 1,oO0 diameters, and some consid-
cradle amount OF previous training

of note here to remark upon the eN-

field of view, and even as we speak
here it comes. now moving in slow
and stately fashion, looking like n
soft mass of semi-transparent Jelly,
propelling itself by stretching out

blunt protubernnce which seems to
take hold of the glass and then to
swell out by the entire body contents
flowing over into il, while it stretches
out some other portion, seemingly at
random, to be filled up again by the
flow of the body into that. This is
the animal known as Amoeba, the
lowest of the animal forms of life
and which is shown in Fig. 3.
Almost any form which can be
drawn would be representative of tho
Amocba, because it is never the same

DEATH OF WARD NICHOLS.
Well Known Citizen Passed Away Sud-
 denly La st Night.

Ward Nichols, one of the best known
 of the old citizens of New Haven, died
 very suddenly last night at his home, 57
 William street. of heart disease. Mrs.
 Charles Sanford, who lives in MT. Mich
 ols' house, was stricken early in the evening with paralysis and she was at
 tended by Dr. Lucy Creamer. Mrs,
 Sanfords right side was paralzed from the shock. Shortly afterward MT. Nich- ols called upon Mrs. Sanford, and on learning that she was the victim of a stroke he reeled and fell and passed away in a.. few moments, the excitement proving too much for him owing to his age.
 MT. Nichols was robust and was con- sidered a very vigorous and healthy man. despite his eighty years. He was around town apparently in excellent health yesterday afternoon. He was born in Weston Conn.,, January ', 1921, and when young man came to New Haven and located here. He secured a position as conductor on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad with run between New Haven and New York, and for twenty-five years was one of the best known conductors on the road. His manner was always such that won for him words of praise by all who travelled on his train, and he was always faithful 10 his duties, both as citizen and as a railroad man. His rail road experience was in the time of such well known conductors as the late Sere- no s. Thomas, brother of the late Cap tain David s. Thomas, and of Wiidman, Hermance, Strickland Bradley and Cornwall. Nearly all of his old compan- ions in the service of the road have join ed as he has now, "the silent major ity."
 For the last twenty-five years MT. Nichols had been connected with the New Haven Water company in the ca- pacity of an inspector and he was a very efficient man for the company. His services were greatly appreciated and it was only last year that he retired from active business.
 MT. Nichols had been for over half a century a member of St. Pauls church. He was one of the oldest members of lodge, I. o. o. F., and was chaplain of the Veteran Odd Fellows association. His home had been on William street for many years. He leaves a wife and one daughter and many friends to mourn his loss.

NEW MOVE BY y. P. MORGAN.
He Gets Control of the North American
 Company.

New York, Dec. 27.--The North Amer ican company, it is said, which has been one of the conspicuous tinancier- ing companies of Wall street, has pass ed into the control of J. P. Morgan, and it is said to be used by him to further the great deal known to the streets as the Coal Trust of which the acquir- ing of the Pennsylvania Coal company was the initial step.
 The plan is to make the North Amer ican company the joint selling agent, which will take over, or to which will be consigned, the entire output of all the coal properties controlled by the trust.
 In establishing the North American company as the joint selling agency of the combined interest uniform rate must of necessity be maintained and the railroads carrying the anthracite output will be relieved of many bur- dens, the principal among which is the large amounts which they have been forced to pay the middlemen. It is said that this item alone will result in econ- omies running up into the millions every year.
