TUBERCULOSIS GERM IN BLOOD
DISCOVERED BY A SCIENTIST

PHILADELPHIA, January 2S.-Dr.
Randle c. Rosenberger' discovery of
the tuberculosis germ in the blood has
been announced, but details of his
technique have not been made public
until today. In advance proofs of 'sThe
American Journal of Medical SCIENCE
the following description of this new
step in bacteriology is authorized and
complete:
When patient is suspected of hav-
ing tuberculosis germs in his blood, a
tourniquet is bound tightly about his
arm in order to bring the veins into
prominence. From any vein of suffi-
elent size at the elbow the blood is
drawn with hypodermic syringe, after
the skin at the spot selected has been
frst sterilized chemically to insure the
removal of every possible means of in
fectlon or contamination from the skin
itself.
A definite quantity of blood, about
two teaspoonfuls, is drawn from the
vein, and the needle wound is dressed
and, bandaged, there being no resultant
pain or trouble beyond slight itch
ing for a few moments.
The blood withdrawn is Immediately
mixed with a salt solution to prevent
its CLOTHING and the tube containing it
is placed on ice for twenty-four hours.
Herein lies the radical difference be-
tween the cultivation or growing
of the typhoid germ in what are known
as "culture mediums, wherein heat
plays part. The normal salt solution
in which blood suspected of containing
tuberculosis germs is placed most near

introduced about two per cent. of citrate
of soda.
After twentyfour hours the blood
has settled in the vial, and the sedi.
ment at the bottom of the glass is
withdrawn, siphonlike. through hol.
low glass tube. Being spread upou
small glass slides, this blood is dried
on small strip of metal held firmly
in place above a small, even gas flame.
Thoroughly dry, it is almost indie.
structible, except through breaking of
the glass slide itself.
These slides are next immersed in
distilled water and the red corpuseles
are removed by this means. The slide
is again dried.
Immersed in carbol fuchsin, a red
stain, for five minutes, the entire slide
is next stained red: immersed again
for five minutes in what is known as
Pappenheim S solution, blue stain
the entire slide is stained blue with
the exception of the tuberculosis germ
itself, which remains red. Therein lies
the entire Rosenberger secret Under
the microscope these red germs are re
vealed against the blue field, and the
scientists knows his patient has tuber
culosis germs in his blood.
To the medical profession the value
of this technique and the discoverie,
it permits lies in its furnishing 3
means of making an immediate truth
full diagnosis of the presence of tuber
losis in the patient. Time and again

nosed as "typhoid conditions, city

furnishes the means to end this.

MARINE


Tales of trouble on the downward

that Captain Fetter of Company |. Ma

Bennett Of the Claudine had rather a
warm time of 1t before a compromise
was effected. The pilikia began when
the National Guardsmen from the big

Captain Fetter tbereupon told them

Bennett, master of the steamer. For

Captain Bennett considered the men
in the light of steerage passengers, as
they undoubtedly were, as a matter of
fact, but he finally, after a conference
with the officers of the company, de-

ship. Considerable discussion was
caused by the near clash of Captain

ally, if not always, is that the sailing
master takes supersedence over naval

Army transports.
One of Captain Bennett s reasons for
ordering the men to remain below, 1t
is said, was that he was to pick up
twice as many men at Maui, and con-
sequently needed all available space.

II ALWAYS KNEW HE'D WIN, SAYS PEARY HERS
ARCTIC HERSELF.
BY w. G. Shepherd. 2

South Harpswell, Me-, Sept. Is.
I'm the happiest woman in the
world. -
1t was Mrs. Robt. Peary, a lit
tie brown-eyed woman, with just
a trace of gray in her hair, who
said this. And she meant it,
Her husband-her big, brave
husband-was safe. He had ac-
complished his life desire-he had
found the pole.
And no woman in the world
realized better than Mrs. Robt. e.
Peary just what her husbands
feat cost. For Mrs. Peary her
self has been into the Arctic cir
Gle. She has made a dash to the
pole. 1t was under the Arctic sun
that she gave birth to little Marie
Ahnighto, the white baby of the
north-now pretty girl of 16.
Il know what it means-in the
polar seas, said Mrs. Peary, land
yet / didn't suffer much hardship.
1T may sound strange. but it
didn't seem cold. I have had lots
more trouble with the cold in
Brooklyn than with the intense
zero weather of the Arctic. It's
the climate and the dryness of the
air that make the difference.
1--WE didn't suffer. except on
occasions'-
A look suggesting some terrible
memory came into her restless
brown eyes. She probably was
thinking of freezing accident on
board the Windward when her
husband suffered the loss of seven
toes.
Whatever the perils of the Arc
tic circle" she continued, moth
ing could be worse than being
here in comfort while Mr.. Peary

nication. couldn't write, i
couldn't cable. All / could do
was to wait-just to wait and
hope.
People used to pity me for
my suspense, but they didn't know
and understand.
But now it's all over" and The
Woman Who Had Faith smiled.
Child life among the Eskimos
is the most interesting" she said.
About the only toy the children
can play with is foot ball made
from walrus hide. which is very
tough. They kick and throw this
around on the ice.
II don't see how the babies
there can stand it. They wear
hardly any clothes, even in the
coolest weather, until they grow
up. Then they leave parts of their
bodies thinly covered.
But that's what makes them
so strong. suppose" she ex-
planned.
1.-THE Eskimos have been a
help to my husband, of course"
Mrs. Peary added. 1--WE are
thankful for all he has done, and
now when he is so near home
feel that he belongs to us all
the time. / don't think he will
go back to the pole. The north
tried to claim him, and even his
life, but we have him again, and
he has made good his word that
he would find the north pole.
In the Peary family Marie is
|still a dyed-in-the-wool polar en-
thusiast. The hazy memories of
her childhood in the far north
still make the adventurous career

nance, and to her at least all his

enjoyment she feels.

A Narrow Escape.

Mrs. John Gold of Nebraska was &C.
cidentally shot at her home last evening
about six o'clock and had narrow escape
from very serious injury. A young
son aged II was examining an automatic
shotgun, supposing it TO be empty, but
which unfortunately contained a shell.
He was sitting on couch in the kitchen
and Mrs. Golu was standing short dis
tsnce from him when the weapon was
discharged, the charge of fine shot pass
ing across the front of Mrs. Colds right
leg at the thigh. No bones were broken
but deep hole was cut in the flesh, and
had the shot been two inches lower it
would have torn off the limb. The shot
after striking Mrs. Gold passed on and
through a table, making hole several
inches in diameter. DIR. J. G. Dunn was
summoned to attend the injured woman
and states that while the injury is painful
it is not dangerous and the patient was
getting along nicely.

Reading Clubs Reception.

The third annual reception of the ladies
of the Tionesta Reading Club to their hus-
bands and friends was held in the spacious
parlors of the Kelly mansion on New Years
night Mrs. A. b. Kelly acting as hostess of
the evening, and who was gracefully as
sisted by Mrs Suie May Sharpe President
of the Club. Soon after the assembling of
the guests, in all about fifty, lunch of
surprising elegance was served in five
courses, in a pleasant discussion of which
more than an hour was consumed. This
feature was followed by number of pretty
solos by Prof. +. w. Gill, with exquisite ac-
compartments on the piano by Mrs. James
ID. Davis. Then came the feature of the
evening in the form of guessing contest
entitled "Courtship in the Vegetable King
DOM" Each guest was furnished with a
card on which was printed a poem with
missing words relating to some plant or
vegetable, and these the guest was supposed
to supply. This contest furnished no end
of amusement and interest, and soon the
company was deeply delving into the mys-
terious puzzle. Ofthe 2S missing words the
highest number solved was 80, and the
judges awarded the prize, a pretty compila-
ton of Burns poems, to Mrs, II. A. Bailey
The hour of leave taking having arrived
the guests bade their gracious hostess "good
night after expressing heartfelt thanks to
her and the Club for the royal entertain
ment and pleasures of the evening.
The Tionesta Reading Club is noted for
the elegance and beauty of its receptions,
but without doubt the one here noted
shone as the most brilliant and enjoyable
of them all
