MICROBES LIKE GIANTS.
Battles in the Body Reproduced.
New Snapshots.

Paris Correspondence of the London Express.
A wonderful combination of the micro
scope and the cinematograph was shown
at the French Academy of Science today
by Prof. Dastre on behalf of NJ. Conan
don, the inventor.
The apparatus takes thrty-two pic
lures a second. and enlarges the objects
to H0.CO0 times their natural size. A flea
enlarged in this way would be as large
as a six-story house.
One of the series of pictures shown
was a drop of blood taken from a rabbit
into which sleeping sickness microbes
had been injected. 1t was very curious
TO see the mierobes-which looked about
a foot long-separting the red and white
corpuscles of the blood. One microbe
entered into a red corpuscle and re-
manned there.
A member Of the academy who was
present explained to me the working of
means of which micro-organisms which
are only the fifty-thousandth part of an
inch in diameter can be seen in the
blood of mouse.
NJ. Comandon succeeded in taking cine
matograph pictures of fatty globules 12j-
thousand part of an inch in diameter
1t was extraordinary to see these tiny
organisms fighting with their enemies In
the blood, and II was little starting. NJ.
Comandon showed pictures of fever-m
crobes and the microbes of other diseases
struggling with the corpuScles of the
blood, and showed how these microbes
forced their way into our organisms.
1t was a picture as terrible as that
with which the microscope has made us
familiar with of the battle of the microbe
in a drop of water.
At present the invention is only in the
laboratory stage. but it will soon be pos
sible for all doctors to use it, and to
profit by it's lessons.
