RIVAL BUFFALOs IN BATTLE.

DR.. and Mrs. o. A. Lacrone, of Kali

turned from a trip through the
west, which included some points
not usually visited by the tourist.
Mrs. La Crone kept a diary of the
most interesting incidents of the
journey, included in which is a
graphic description Of a fight be-
tween two buffalo bulls for the mas
terry of a herd, reports the Chicago
Tribune. This was at Bauff, in Brit
ish Columbia, where the Canadian
government maintains a national
park. The park contains a herd of
30 b~utfalOes, almost the last of
those immense herds of bison that
formerly roamed the plains of Brit
ish Columbia.
In describing the fight between the
two bulls Mrs. La Crone says:
1.-Two of the males had been fight
Ing for supremacy over the herd for
two days. 1t seemed that sometimes
the boss as the keeper calls him,

The moment that bacteria are introduced
into the human body u certain number Of
cells hasten to destroy them. These are
called "phagocytes," or devouring cells. be-
cause they eat up the bacteria Whether
the patient survives or dies depends on
whether the bacteria get the upper hand
Of the phagocytes or the p~hagocytes the
upper hand of the bacteria
These statements are very easy to make.
but the results have only been obtained by
prolonged and laborious investigations in
the laboratory and by experiments upon
animals which have demonstrated these
facts.
Bacteria are recognized by various
methods: First. by form Many which are
Identical In appearance. however. differ
greatly in effects A handful OF turnip seed
and a handful or rape seed look very much
alike. but IL they are planted the plants
differ SO greatly that We can recognize the
dinerence In the seed by the difference in
the crop; hence. the second method of
recognizing differences in bacteria IL by
planting them. Different methods have
been practised- Some are sown on the raw
pVtnoos otncrS on pfeaQ pa9tes
others In certain 1ellylike materials, such
as g~elatine. or agar-agar. 1t was soon
found as a result Of these experiments that
the bacteria iourished best. some in one
soil. some in another. Again the crop of
mold which comes from them differs
greatly In color; some being black. some
red. some white. some yellow. etc. A third
method also is by staining them with vari-
Gus dyes. when 1t Is found that some bac-
terra will take one stain best. others will
take another and so on through the whole
list.
