asured People have gone microbe crazy. They have read without clear ly understanding the medical disserta- tions about the extent to which dis eases of all kinds are occasiOned by these microscopical organisms which get into our systems and become per- niciously active there. and many of them live under d constant appre- hension lest their own system be in- vaded by these invisible enemies at sometime when they are momentarily off their guard.
 And the trouble is that it is so difficult that it is virtually impOssi- ble to maintain q sufficient vigilant and effective outlook for these in- numerable and omnipresent invaders of the human frame. There are mi crObes everywhere. Nothing that we touch. taste or handle is immune from their presence. so we are told, and there is never any telling how sool or at what moment any one of us may fall a victim to their destructive operations.
 That is the prevalent idea for which the little KnOwledge declared by Alexander Pope to be a dangerous thing must be held responsible. and it is the gratifying feature of pr. DOty's deliverance that 1t tends to dissipate what has become q sort Of a national obsession. He says that there is whole lot of huIlbug about this mi crobe business and that the people who lie awake nights shivering lest a microbe should catch them are very foolish How often have we been told that there was danger in hand ling a dirty bank note because so many billions of deleterious germs are likely 10 be distributed over it's sur face. Probably not many have been deterred by this warning from hand ling all the bank notes that came their way. and yet 1t is satisfactory to be assured that they may be hand led microbes and all. without the slightest risk
 1t is the same with other things which have in a like manner been placed under the ban. The chances are that they are quit innocuous and that the danger which they are sup posed to present is wholly imaginary, and it may be set down as principle of universal application that tO be so solicitious about keeping ones health, to be so anxiously apprehensive of the causes which threaten it. is a serious mistake This is one of the respects in which Christian Science has been beneficial and one of the secrets Of the amazing success which has at tended it's propaganda. Those who have accepted and are faithful to its doctrines are not constantly thinking about their bodily condition and fear ing that they may fall sick. They have full faith that their good health will continue and instead of worrying aout eventualities entirely beyond their power to control they take its continuance as a matter of course.
 Our forefathers. knowing nothing about microbes. took no precautions against them. yet they enjoyed as good health as we do and lived as long. Let us set aside hysteria and he guided by the promptings of plain. ordinary common sense.-Philadelphi Inquirer.

Military Espionage in Peace.

The strained relations between Germany and Great Britian will not De improved by last weeks develop ments in the trial of two British of ficers. Captain French and Lieutenant Brandon. as spies. The imperial su preme court at Leipzig found the two officers guilty of espionage upon Ger many's fortreSses. and sentenced them to imprisonment for four years Eng land can say nothing, of course. for these two officers of her army were caught with the goods on," to use the vernacular. It is not worth while Tor the British government to deny that they were acting with authority. While it is well known that the European powers all employ army and navy officers to find out the military secrets of rival powers. the fact is politely ignored on all sides until exposure comes. and then the officer found guilty can expect no protection from his home government But the developments in such cases are not conducive 10 friendly relations be- tween the powers involved.
 The army and navy attaches of the various embassies are simply pO- lite spies upon the governments to which they are accredited. Every foreign power maintains such spies at Washington, and their mission is however. they do not need to imperil their personal safety. Official re- ports, the debates in congress and the newspapers tell them all there is to be known The fact that Uncle sam has not enough powder in stock tO supply his big guns for war requirements longer than thirty days. and that it would take months to replenish the supply: that our coast Qualifications are without the necessary guns. and that il would take years to supply the guns needed; that many import ant coast cities are without defenses worthy of the name; that the trans portation equipment of the army is pitiably inadequate. and that there has been little improvement in this re- spect since the civil war: that if our navy were required to sail on hos tile mission it would be without coal supply ships and troop ships, be- cause we could not then hire foreign ships as we do now-all these things are quite as fully known in detail to other pow CTS as they are known to our own government.
 Foreign governments jealously guard their military secrets. If a new type of gun or a new kind of explosive is tried, the trial is in secret. not q hol- iday spectacle. as in this country Uncle sam proceeds on the theory that the more knowledge foreign pow CTS gain as to his military strength the less pleased they will be. and the theory would be all right if We could back il up with facts.
