Professor E. E. Smith of the Fordham
University School of Medicine picked
some tomatoes in his own garden and
cooked them in the usual housewifely
manner, then sealed them up and put
them away. Three months or so after

one bacterial presence was observable.
The next day he says he found $3.50
bacteria in one cubic centimeter, and
five days later he discovered 244, S46,

same time he had put away a jar of
the same tomatoes, but put up accord

the sea, begins few miles south of
Gastein in the Duchy of Salzburg and
ends at MallnitZ, in Carinthia.
The Austrian engineers met with Sc

the granite and the abundance of water,
which burst into the tunnel in a stream
of a thousand gallons per second. and
completely stopped the work for sew
