placed the fork, a wooden handled af-
fair about foot long, between his
teeth. The first turnip went wild and
the second struck the spike on Bedini's
headgear, stunning him severely. He
rallied quickly and caught the third
turnip squarely ON the tines Of the fork.
He took the terrific shock unfiinchingly
and though his lips bled freely and be
went tumbling backward. he clung to
the fork with set teeth. The Londoner
was given a tremendous ovation by the
throng. He began his peculiar calling
as juggler, and used to catch vegeta'
bles thrown from the galleries Of thea
ters. He says he has caught turnip
thrown from the Brighton Tower In
England. a distance Of $50 feet. and
he intends to catch one dropped from
the Paris Eiffel tower.

Oddly enough. few germs are found

is the haven of microbes OF all kinds
While the mucous membranes are most
always harboring germs. there are few

washed with the salt tear secretions
All through the air passages are disease
germs, depending upon the environ
ment and exposure OF the person
Germs of diphtheria. influenza. pneu.
monia, and even tuberculosis, are found
in the throat and bronchial tubes
The liver and kidneys harbor germs
of tuberculosis malaria, and typhoid
fever. And yet the person In whose
system these are found may never de.
velop one of the diseases.
In the arm may be found the pyogenic
organisms which produce pus and sup.
puration. These germs also are found
in the heart.
Malarial germs are in the blood for
the most part. but they are concen-
trated particularly in the spleen. Also,
they are found in the liver.
EndOcarditis germs are found IN the

that the body is infested with them,

The worst enemy OF the microbe IN
the machinery of the system is the
white corpuscle in the blood. To be
certain taking hold in the system, the
microbe must get somewhere that the
white cOrpuscle cannot go. Thus in
some sac containing abnormal secre-
tons from the blood ana tissues, the
micro-Organism finds lodgment and
food, while the white corpuscle in the

The one condition in nature which no
microbe can stand is sunlight with
some of them minutes will suffice to
kill; with others days are necessary;
but sooner or later all the known organ.
isms fall victims to sunshine.
AS to microbes and diseases. as cause

of microbe origin. The microbe of rheu
