medical student was arrested. When
taken into custody there were found
in his possession test tubes contain
ing a sufficient number of bacteria
to have carried death to half the res
idents of the town if properly circu-
lated. The tubes contained cultures
of cholera, typhoid fever, and lock-
jaw microbes, and showed conclusive
ly that the young student was pre-
pared to carry out his threat.
This, it is believed, is the first in
stance on record in which crime of
this character has been brought to
the attention of the authorities, but
it by no means represents the pos
sibilities of such a misapplication Of
scientific discoveries. The POSSIBLE
ties along this line are as matter
of fact almost limitless.
BY culturing typhoid fever mi
crobes and communicating them to a
we'll or other source of water sup
ply whole town could be subjected
to an epidemic of the disease. The
same is true of diphtheria and other
contagious diseases.
In such malady as yellow fever,
the germs of which it is admitted are
carried from place to place by mos
quitoes, revengeful man, through
a process of culture and incubation,
could claim as many victims as he
chose. All he would need to do would
be to start the disease and from him
it would spread practically as far as
he wished. 1t is in these possibili-
ties of the wrong and malicious use
of cultures of disease microbes that
the great dangers of recent discov-
cries lie.
"Certainly a man who understood
bacteria and their culture would be
able to use them in an exceedingly
harmful and dangerous way if he
chose to do So" said DR.. Wynekoop,
assistant city bacteriologist. "He
could produce epidemics of diph-
iberia, cholera, yellow fever or any
contagious disease for that matter,
and the alarming part of this is the
rapidity with which these micro-or-
ganisms increase in number. Millions
Of them may be produced within
twenty-four hours. 1t is compara-
lively simple matter to culture the
microbes, and once produced it would
be a simple matter to pollute the wa
ter supply of a city with them or
scatter them about where they would
do inestimable HARM"

DEADL1EsT WAR ENGINE.
Rumors About Wireless, Crewless
and Easily Dirlgible Submarine
Internal Machine.

"A rumor is current that the British
government is on the eve of COM
plotting the purchase of submarine
topedo boat which will prove the
deadliest engine of VAR ever invent
ed. There are several types of sub
marine boats familiar to naval con-
struction. We have the craft de-
signed to be nayigated by the agency
of q crew, the Whitehead automobile
torpedo, which contains no human
crews, but is fitted upswith mechan-
ical cOntrivance for motive and steer
ing power, and other mechanically
controlled automobile destroyers of
the Brennan and Sims-Edison pat
terms.
Some Of these craft, once started,
are no longer under the influence Of
the person who discharges them, and
are lost. Others, steered by wires,
can be recovered with ease, and will
do the work of submergible boat.
But the dangers of wire-steered
torpedo are many. 1t has only linn
tied field of operation, and its wires
7 frequently entangle and snap. This
new torpedo, however, can be plotted
from a base by means of wireless
electrical impulse sent through the
water to receiver, fixed up in the
torpedo and attuned to the pitch of
that of the transmitter. No cleo
trical influence can interfere with
the impulse generated, and, provided
that there is sufficient motive power
in the torpedo, the unseen foe can
follow ship like shark and can be
made to strike it and explode at any
moment.
Control is so perfect that steering
and maneuvering can be accomplished
by simply pressing button. The
new vessel has many marked advan.
tages over the submarine boat. The
utmost speed of submarine is three
knots an hour. If she exploded a
ship at anchor she. could not get
away in time to avoid her own de-
struction. We learn that the new
invention contains nothing but her
engine power chamber, steering gear
and explosive head. She is very small
and built for great speed. In running
she maintains an average depth Of
ten feet, the striking distance in
subma rine warfare.-London Ex-
press.

MICROBES FOR BLACKMAIL1NG
A New and Terrible Use to Which
Criminals MNy Put the Germs
Of Disease.

Microbes as death dealing agencies
present new possibilities to unscru-
pulous men who, prompted by spir-
it of revenge or retaliation, may seek
to obliterate their victims in the
most approved scientific way.
Modern study of bacteriology has
placed new and terribly effective
weapon in the hands of humanity.
It is weapon with which entire
communities and towns may be
stripped of their inhabitants. Whole
sale deaths may be brought about
without even directing suspicion
toward the perpetrator of the crime,
and, what is more, the man who
seeks to deal out death in this way
may select the specific disease he
wishes to employ in carrying out his
purpose.
All of these menacing possibilities
have developed through the adj
vanced study of bacteria and the va
rious uses, beneficial and otherwise,
to which heterogeneous may be
put. The fact has been established
beyond all question of doubt that
most contagious diseases are spread
through microbes, and added to this
knowledge is the additional informa-
ton that each disease has its own
specific kind of bacteria, which may
he cultured and produced in count
less numbers, says the Chicago Trib-
une. ng
It is this work of scientific men
that has placed such a terrible death
agency within reach Of any one who
cares to go into the study of bac-
teriology even in a superficial way.
AS an indication of the extremes to
which man may go in making use
of his knowledge Of microbes, the
case of an Austrian medical student
is given. . ~ -
This student had devoted good
deal of time and much energy to the
study of bacteriology- He was IA
miliar with the various forms of mi
crobes common to different contag-
ious and infectious diseases, and
knew how to use them with deadly
effect. Recently the young man at
tempted to extort money from rich
widow by threatening to scatter dis
ease germs in her room if she re-
fused his demand.
The woman at first was inclined to
laugh at his theat, but finally he be-
came so insistent and maintained
such menacing attitude that she re-
ported thematter to the police and the
