gun and went out to look for the
great ape. He soon caught a glimpse
of him between two branches of a
tree, and, as the animal peered out
from this lofty hiding place, ne fired

the lower jaw, with the result that
he lost his hold on the tree and came

of him in a sitting position, in which

Herr Paschen presented the gorilla

Some interesting facts concerning
the comparative number of particles
of dust and bacteria IN the air were
communicated TO the Royal institu.
ton recently by DR.. Allen Macfayden.
Using Aitken's dust-cOunter, he found
in an open suburb of London 10000
dust particles in every cubic centme-
ter of air, while in the heart of the
great town the number of particles,
in the same volume of air. was 5000
In the open air of London there was
on the average only one micIo-or-
ganism to every 3s,3OO,O 900 particles Of
dust, and in the air of a room amongst
1s4 100000 dust particles only one or.
ganism could be detected. These facts.
Dr. Macfayden said, illustrate the poY.
