Out For Thorn All Green Plants Would
Vanish From the Earth.
! Few persons can realize Mt first
what an immense number and variety
Of microbes there are not only around
! US In the air and dust and water. but
also In us and on ls and III and on
every living thing. The work. the
huge system Of chemical change and
the circulation of the. elements-tar-
hon. oxygen. hydrogen. nitrogen and
sulphur which they carry on Is In
ccs::a,lt. varied and complex. Those.
five elements are the main and essen.
tiai constituents Of all living things.
Surprising there were no microbes,
there would be no putrefaction. no
breaking down Of the dead bodies Of
animals and plants which were once
alive into gas aud substances soluble
In water.
They by series Of steps In which
different kinds Of bacteria ur microbes
are successfully concerned convert

be fixed In these corpses. and the

on and absolutely must have as their
food the carbonic acid. ammonia and

solve all living things when dead. 1t

CROWLEY IS NOW
 A PROFESSIONAL Speedy Marathon Runner Does the
 Manly Thing. Complimented by Sul ivan Who Inciden. tally Pays His Respects to Half
 and Half Variety.

Jim Crowley, the stalwart Celt who dropped his hod two years ago and raced to a grand victory in the Yon- kers Marathon, and who since has captured so many races that he won terday bade farewell to the amateur game and turned professional. Crow ley did the right thing and went to James B. Sullivan, secretary-treasur-
 CT of the A. A. U. and handed in his
 registration card telling MT. Sullivan that he had nc further right to it
 as he had decided to turn professional.
 As Crowley was turning over his card
 the former President, of the Amateur
 Athletic Union said: Crowley, U wish
 you all the luck in the world in your
 new venture. I hope you beat them
 all. I admire an out and out profess sional,s but deteSt those athletes who
 are half and half If you are honest in your new line you will earn just as much of the public good will, and more of it, than if you ran as an anna teur and violated it's fundamental prin- ciple by accepting remuneration for your efforts Be on the square and you are bound to win success and popular approval.''
 1t is not yet certain when Crowley will make his professional debut. He
 has been offered a race with Tom Longboat in Buffalo the last of this
 month and may accept. If the speedy son of the Onongadas chooses to mea- sure strides with the Celt the race will be at twenty miles.
 Crowley, however, may decide to wait for the big professional race that | is to be held in Madison Square Gar
 den on Friday evening, February 12.
 It is understood that it will be a sweepstakes at the full Marat thon dis tance and will be limited to six en- tries. The six starters probably will be Hans Holmer, John Svanberg, Jim Crowley, Henri St. Yves, Tom Long
