WHEN MICROBES ARE BUSIEST
Although Never Dormant, lt Has
Been Proved They Have Special
Hours Of Activity.

A celebrated scientist has made the
interesting announcement that there
are more microbes in the air at nine
o'clock in the morning and at nine
o'clock at night than during any 9th
er periods of the day. He has also
discovered that the percentage OF mi
crobes in the atmosphere is less at
three o'clock in the morning and three.
o'clock in the afternoon than at any
other times. The explanation ad-
vanced for the partiality OF the mi
crobe for nine o'clock a. m. and p. M.
is that the "microbe hour" Is con-
trolled by the movements OF people,
From five TO nine in the morning they
are going from their homes TO their
working places, and from five TO nine
In the evening they are again jour
neying through the streets, either
homeward bound or In search OF
pleasure.
He noted that at or about SIX
o'clock every morning and evening
there were indications of the ap-
proach OF the microbe rush" hour
From that time on until nine o'clock
the atmosphere became more and
more crowded with germs of all
kinds, some bad. some good; and
then, Immediately after nine o'clock
the tide began TO ebb, until It was
always lowest round about three
o'clock. According to his researches.
after lunch is the safest time for q
nap.
