NEW AERIAL MOTOR.
Is Constructed on the Most
Plausible Theory.

European aeronauts are Just now
talking a great deal of very novel
airship, which has been constructed
by NM. Filippi, of Bizerta, and Maeler,
of Tunis, and are wondering whether
it will really do all that they claim for
it. They maintain boldly that their
airship can be uplifted and made to
move in any desired direction by means
of atmospheric pressure.
"Our balloon" they say, 'will be en-
tirely at our command after the atmos-
phere has been artificialiy rarefied in
front of it,"
Their invention in no way resembles
an ordinary balloon. 1t is shaped like
a skiff, on which are several masts. On
the summit of each mast is a cone, and
this is Surmounted by a small wing. A
machine causes the cone to turn, and
their rotation, it is said, is bound to
create an impulse under the airship
which will necessarily send ii upward.
In the front andrear of the skiff there
are also revolving cones, which are de-
signed to rarely the air and thus pre-
vent the balloon from stopping.
That this is a most plausible theory
all scientists admit, but some of them
insist that no balloon constructed on
this principle will ever be able to travel
through the air. Thus NJ Henri de
Parville says: INN. Filippi ana Macler
are nicely wasting their time. A doz-
en- years ago NJ. Puskas, a wel!known
scientist, came and told me that he had
at last invented perfect balloon. I
asked him what the principle was and
he said atmospheric pressure. point
ed out many objections to it, but he
went ahead, and in short time he had

cine so prepared made animals immune
from distemper in any contact.
This discovery has been recognized
as of great value in England. At the
same time DIR. Copeman has not had a
chance to prove how long this immun-
ity may last, and dog breeders all over
the world are to be brought to try the
vaccine with an eye to its lasting ef-
feet.
This discovery is interesting from q
pathological point of view from the
fact that long ago the disease was
classed as a variola and an inoculation
of cowpoX was proved to be Intellectual
against it.
From the time of Aristotle canine
distemper has been recognized. In
1923 it almost wiped out the dogs of
Bohemia. France suffered from il in
1740, and before the century ended
nearly every part of Europe had felt
the scourge. 1t exists in nearly every
part of Europe to-day.
Time and again in recent years un-
successful efforts have been made to
find the germ of the distempor. Now
that it is found it does not show
marked variations from several other
well-knOwn micrococci.

A PLANT THAT COUGHS.
The Entada, q Tropical Vine. Sneezes
Violently when brought in
Contact with Dust,

1t is now well known that the sharp
and broad distinction formerly made
between animals and plants does not
conform TO the facts. The cells of
plants, like those of animals, are diff
ferentiated in functions and are
grouped to form special organs of nu-
triton, respiration, eXcretion-even
for the perception of light. The sensi-
tive plant (Mimosa) has well-devel-
opcd sense of touch.
a certain tissue in the leaves of
plants performs the functions of
liver.
The respiration of plants is espe-
cially interesting. On the under side
of leaves and on green stems are mil
lions of microscopic mouths, each of
which is opened and closed by two
movable lips. These openings are the
examinations of passages which are
filed with waite, vapor air and other
gases, produced by the chemical
changes which accompany growth.
The vine called the coughing bean
(Eutada tussiens) is native of moist,
tropical regions.
By accidental {. .Qnsportation of its
seeds it has gradually spread to much
less congenial spots, especially rail
road embantments, where it endures
drought very well, though its growth
is stunted. But there is one thing
which it cannot stand, and that is dust.
When the breathing pores become
choked by dust the gases accumulate
within the leaf for time and then
are forcibly expelled in an audible
paroxysm of coughing and sneezing,
which makes the leaf trer BILE violent
ly. At the same time the whole plant
becomes red in the face, SO to speak,
through the sinking in of the green
chlorophyll grains and the appear
ance of particles of red coloring mat
ter on the surface
The Eutada is sometimes cultivated
as house plant. Sweeping the room
is very apt to set the poor plant
a-coughing, to the intense astonish-
ment of persons who are unfamiliar
with its peculiarities

FREEZING BACTERIA.
Fresh Experiments Prove That Long
Continued Cold VIII Destroy Even
the LiveIiest of Them.

Within the last year or two some in
teresting experiments have been con-
Quoted in England, with the purpose
of ascertaining the effect of extreme
ccld on the vitality of various kinds Of
bacteria. The tests were made with
liquid air and liquid hydrogen, by
means of which temperatures were OBJ
tanned 800 to 400 degrees below zero.
In the majority of instances the mi
crobes withstood this amazing chill
and ON thawing out exhibited signs of
life,
In these experiments, however, the
cold was applied for only very short
time, a few minutes or few hours.
A different class of tests has just been
reported to archaeological congress
by DR.. w. ii. Park, of the New York
health board. He employed only ty-
phoid bacilli, but in order to make the
investigation more thorough he took
specimens which he had cultivated
from 20 different eases of disease.
Thus any inequality in their hardness
was guarded against The particular
feature of this scheme was not the Sc
verify of the cold, but its duration.
Having prepared a lot of tubes con-
tanning his culture, DIR. Park reduced
them all to a temperature of % de-
grees Fahrenheit, only a little below
freezing, and kept them there. Then
at intervals he would remove a tube
and examine the bacilli.
At the end of 80 DAYS he found AZ
per cent. of the microbes in the first
tube alive. In Il week all but IA per
cent. were dead in another. In two
weeks only 7K per cent. survived, in
three, Oh; in five, OIL, and in seven,
90. The percentage diminished as
time went on, until in % weeks, or
fully five months, all of the bacilli
were dead. The tube opened after 1s
weeks was the last to show any life
left. 1t thus appears that a long win
ter will usually kill typhoid bacilli,
