REDrs EXPERIMENT.
Out Of Il Grew the Great Fabric Of the
Germ Theory.

Out Of Il Grew the Great Fabric Of the
Gsrm Theory.
It was fixed belief Of the ancients
that many living creatures could come
into existence in a spontaneous fash
Ion, to which allusion has often been
made. The true beginning of the germ
theory arose ont Of ludicrously SIM
pie observation made by Redi. Flor
entine physician. about the middle of
the seventeenth century. He debated
with his confreres in Florence the
question of the origin Of the maggots
appearing in decomposing meat. The
COTS were bred within dead and putre-
flying substances. Eedi. taking piece
Of meat. covered the mouth Of the TAR
in which it was contained with a piece
Of fine gauze. He beheld the flesh flies,
attracted by the smell Of the decaying
meat, coming to deposit their eggs. aft
err the manner Of their kind. in the de-
composing substance. The gauze, how
ever. kept them from effecting this
natural object, with the result that the
eggs were laid on the surface Of the
gauze and the maggots there hatched
out, while the decay Of the meat went
on uninterruptedly without single
maggot appearing in its substance.
On this childishly simple experiment
the great fabric OF the germ theory Of
today was founded. for II the law Of
universal parentase. applied to the case
of maggots and meat 1t was clear. ar
sued Redi. that it must apply univer-
sally. Subsequent experimentation
proved the words to be true. and SO to-
day, when our attention is focused upon
germs or microbes so minute that we
might accommodate many hundreds OF
thousands of them on the surface of q
postage stamp. we again come face to
face with Redfs first principle that
each germ could only have sprung
from preceding and parental organ
ism.-Brooklyn Eagle.
