LIGHT WITHOUT HEAT.
The Aid that Living Lamps Are
Furnishing Science

From the Chicago Tribune.
Living lamps from luminous bacteria
are shedding light on certain sciences.
Prof. II. Morlisch. of Prague. has expert
mented especially with the commonest
variety. the bacterium phosphoreum. and
"itf them has succeeded in making
lamp which furnishes enough light for
Photographic purposes, its rays also al
uacting terminating plants
The professor has shown that the iu-
mihos.ty Of living organisms is a chemi-
cal process giving rise to the formation
OF substance In the interior Of els
which in the presence Of free oxygen and
water becomes luminous. This lie Las
tentatively called "photogen.
Prof Molisch has succeeded in prepar-
ing with glass flask filed with gelatin
that has been vaccinated with colony
OF these bacteria a perpetual lamp. Its
light intensity Is less than that Of any
candle. but il sufices for Photographic
purposes. and 81 is capable Of inducing
terminating plants like peas or lentils TO
turn toward IL as source Of light energy
The most striking feature Of the light IS
the total absence Of heat rays. Thus the
bacteria solve a problem which is the de-
spair of engineers. and which is TO con
vert energy into light without loss due 10

We'll our tTumpteT sounded the charge,

like a stifish bit o. workout, Lord bless
ye. we didn't have any real idee till we
was well under way Then il came 10
US, for We saw what we had started 10 do
And said 10 my mate on the right Of

mean 10 say anything. 7 suppose, an it
was just by way Of speaking. But. any
how. I remember that said: Well. Bill.
I'd rather be shot in front than stabbed
behind But like enough he didn't hear
me, for I didn't speak up loud being in
the ranks in a charge. Those were the
only words I said as we went down in
the charge but remember that a little
prayer came to me. and 7 found myself
saying Of it TO myself as we went on

that valley. but it must have been close
on to a mile and half But maybe I'm
wrong. Anyhow. il was a gOOdish dis
tanee, and the valley seemed 10 narrow

at. and we went down like water down
a funnel And still, not a hard gallop.

wouldn't let his horse go too fast. il be-
ing long way We had to charge, and. Of
course. the brigade behind him couldn't I
go faster than the pace he set.
There was batteries on our right blaz-
ing down at US, and batteries on our left
blazing down. and batteries right in front,
and felt in my face the bits of rock or
pebble thrown up by the shot hitting on
the hard ground.
Il was in the front rank. and I saw
that behind US Dragons came the lancers,
and I remember thinking it queer that
they had put US swordsmen to charge in
front of lancers. I don't know why I
thought OF tit just came to me in a
fash that it was queerlike.

fire from the batteries on the hills al our
sides. and there were cannon blazing
away in our front. and there we were

When there is sickness, examine
the urine Rheumatism is only a
symptom, of kidney trouble. 1t is
nothing more or less than excessive
uric acid in the blood, which the
sluggish, inactive kidneys have failed
to sift out, leaving it to decompose
and settle about the joints and
muscles, causing intense suffering;
frequently resulting in deformity;
often reaching the heart, when death

Pains across the back, frequent

not the only signs of kidney
trouble; many cases Of stomach dis
