COMMERCIAL BACTERIA.
Revelations of the Productive Value
of Microbes.

.
4 OF Microbes.
In the rapid advance of bacteriology
discoveries are constantly being made
which show the Importance OF microbes
in the practical industries of everyday
| life. Recent, Investigations into the
! processes OF bread making, brewing,
tanning. wine making, vinegar making.
! butter making and sugar making show
that changes which have long been sup
posed to result from chemical action
are really the work of microscopic liv-
/ ing organisms. In ali these industries
: it is the province of hacteriologists to
find out the particular microbe which
| should be utilized To secure the best re
suits. and such Investigations as have
been made and described by Mr.. Sam
uel G. Prescott of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. TO name the
latest writer on the subject, have led to
the founding of new science now rec
ognized under the name or industrial
biology"
Even in the textile manufactures mi
crobes have been found to have their
utility. As the farmers wife. without
knowing it. "ripened" her cream for
churning with bacterial assistance and
thus secured the characteristic butter
flavor, so I'm the separation of the fibers
of hemp. fax and jute these micro
organisms have long been employed
without its being suspected that such
was the fact. Flax. for example, is the
"bast" fiber of the flax plant, and in
order to separate it for the manufac-
ture of linen it is necessary to dissolve
gummy. resinous substance which
binds the flexible fibers to those which
are brittle and useless. This is done by
a process known as ''retting." the stems
being gathered in bundles and then set
I'm rivers or ponds where the gum. in
soluble i'm water alone, is attacked by
the bacteria which the water contains
and so decomposed or fermented that
the iibers can be easily parted. The wa
tiers of certain streams have thus be-
come famous for their effect on flax, as,
for instance. the water of the river Lys,
in Belgium. which has evidently be-
come planted with the particular bacte-
ria most suitable for this particular
operation.
1t has been suggested that even the
changes in the tobacco leaf which give
n good cigar its distinguishing aroma
are due to n special kind of bacteria
which may be coloniZed and afterward
seeded" in other varieties of tobacco.
This is but one of the problems of in
dustrial biology which still await So
luton and which If rightly solved
would vitality affect many OF the great
commercial interests of the country.

DANCING FOR HEALTH.
Proposition of It's Revival rs n Hy.
gienic Exercise.

Long ago some ingenious arithmeti-
clan discovered the exact amount OF
ground covered by the average dancer
in the course of an evening. and the
vOtaries of the dance are now suggest
ing that dancing should be revived as n
hygienic exercise. says the Philadel-
phia Ledger. Nowadays men and girls
show great eagerness TO take up any
pastime or sport which gives them ex-
ercise, and. as we all know, dancing
has somewhat lost its vogue. which
from n social point of view is much to
be regretted.
Let some OF the fashionable doctors
recommend their dyspeptic, anemic
patients of both sexes 10 waltz as much
as possible. giving themselves on an
average the equivalent I'm terpsichorean
exercise OF at least 80 miles walk
week, and we shall see wonderful re-
vival in dancing.

WORLDS BIGGEST SHIP.
Giant CeItic's Charterer Tells of Her
Trip de Luxe.

Trip de Luxe.
| Frank c. Clarke, who chartered the
: Celtic, the worlds biggest and newest
ship. for Il cruise in the Mediterranean.
! is in London. AIR. Clarke said TO the
New York Journals correspondent the
other night:
Bookings for the trip are being
made in gratifying numbers by
wealthy and prominent people on both
sides of the Atlantic. The White Star
company thought when l offered to
charter their latest launched Ieviathan
that l was joker or n gigantic buffer.
1 showed we had the money and meant
business. so after six days negotiations
the charter was given.
II am paying a big price for the big
ship, but everything points to a pros
porous cruise. Though the Celtic car
ries $3.50 passengers. my list Will be
limited TO 500. We leave New York on
Feb. s. 1902. for "A days trip de luxe
I'm the Mediterranean. Every place of
real interest will be visited. and n stay
of three weeks will be made in Egypt
and Jaffa to enable passengers to as
cend the Nile and visit the Holy Land.
Passages will cost from 500 TO $TG0.
so far the cities of the Mediterrane-
an have seen no great British steamers,
but next winter the greatest ship in the
world will fly the English flag in their
harbors. When the Celtic looms up
down there. German and French YES
sells will look small indeed The vessel
will be run like private yacht Of the
most luxurious type. n party of steel
magnates have chartered over $1,000
worth of cabins on the upper prone
made deck. which they will have ar
ranged In airy, roomy suits.
The Celtic will make her maiden
trip TO New York on July &c. She has
nine decks. is 700 feet long. 40 feet in
breadth. 10 feet deep and carries
crew of 1885,"
