REDrs EXPERIMENT.

Out Of II Grew the Great Fabric Of the
Germ Theory.
II was a fixed belief Of the ancients
that many living creatures could come
Into existence in spontaneous fash
ion. to which allusion has often been
made The true beginning Of the germ
theory arose out OF a ludicrously sim
pie observation made by Redi Flor.
entlne physician, about the middle Of
the seventeenth century He debated
with his confreres In Florence the
question Of the origin Of the maggots
appearing 10 decomposing meat. The
old view held, Of course. that the mag
gots we're bred within dead and pntr@
flying substances. Redi. taking piece
Of meat. covered the mouth Of the jar
in which 1t was contained with a piece
OF fine 9auze. He beheld the fiesh flies,
attracted by the smell OF the decaying
meat. coming to deposit their eggs, aft
er the manner Of their kind. IN the de-
composing substance. The gaune how
ever. kept them from enecting this
natural object. with the result that the
eggs we're 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 parentage applied to the case
Of maggots and meat It was clear, ar
gued 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 a
postage stamp. we again come face to
face with Redfs first principle that
each germ could only have sprung
from preceding and parental organ
