Germs In the Teeth.

Everybody knows in general way
how important it is to give the teeth
q good cleaning and to rinse the mouth
out first thing in the morning. The
object, Of course. is to remove the ac-
emulation Of bacteria which gathers
on the teeth, gums, tongue and palate
during the hours Of sleep. How many
germs do you suppose accumulate dur
ing the nights sleep? In answer to
this question E. c. Bousfeld, writing
in the London Lancet, gives some IN
teresting and rather startling figures.
which are worth quoting. BE states
that be has found the mouth on wax
ing IN the morning to obtain about
1900, 100000 bacteria capable Of being
removed by fvefold rinsing With
twenty-five cubic centimeters Of water
each time. After ordinary washing Of
the teeth With hard toott brush
about one-fourth the number could
still be rinsed away. After using
tooth paste only 12o,OO0,000 were left

The Air Mile.


The air mile is unit Of measure
ment that came into use with the ad-
vancement Of aviation. We have the
land mile and the sea mile, which IS
approximately one-seventh longer than
the land nile Of America. The nautical
mile is often incorrectly called a knot.
but q knot Is measure Of both dis
tance and time. It is correct to say
that a vessel makes ten knots, but to
say that she makes ten knots an hour
is tautology. The air mile is measured
differently from the land mile and the
sea mile. It Is land mile minus the
retardaton Of an adverse wind or plus
the accleration Of q favoring wind.
Thus an aviator could cover many air
miles while lowering over given point
on the earth's surface. - Browning's

Cleanliness and Arsenic.

In Syria and Carinthia there is
much arsenic eating among the peas
ants. The women take 1t to give
themselves a good complexion and to
make their hair fine and glossy. The
men take it because they believe that
it gives them wind in climbing In the
chase after chamois. In Syria and
Carinthia it is known that an arsenic
eater can never be broken Of the habit
and that if arsenic be compulsorily
kept from the eater death rapidly en-
sues. It Is believed In the Tamar-

A piscatorial Gunner.

The iaculator fish, the piscatori1 gun
ner Of the Javan lakes, uses his mouth
as a squirt gun and is a marksman OF
no mean ability. Go to small lake or
pond filed with specimens Of jacula-
tors, place stake or pole in the water
with the end projecting from one to
three feet above the surface, place
beetle or fly on top Of the pole and
await developments. Soon the water
will be swarming with fnny gunners,
each anxious for shot at the tender
morsel which the experimenter has
placed IN full view. Presently one
comes to the surface, steadily observes
his prey and measures the distance.
Instantly he screws his mouth into the
funniest shapes imaginable, discharges
a stream Of water with precision equal
to any sharpshooter and knocks the fly
OF beetle into the water, where he is in
stantly deroured by the successful
Nimrod or some of his hungry horde.
