HANCOCK BOY CONCERNED.
Donald Royce May Become Naval OF
ficer Two Years Sooner.

Encouraged by the fact that the
Senate has passed the bill providing
for the commissioning of all midship-
men as ensigns upon their graduation
from the United States Naval Acad-
envy. thirty Michigan young men who
are now In the academy or have re-
Gently been graduated are anxiously
awaiting the action OF the House.
Always until this session of con-
gress the Senate. because of the in
fiuence of Senator Hale, now retired,
has voted against the bill. while the
House has repeatedly passed It For
years Il has been contended that as
long rs the graduates of the u. s.
Military Academy are given their COM
missions as lieutenants on graduation.
the graduates of the Naval Academy
ensigns at the same time. Under pres
ent conditions the students at the
Naval Academy are midshipmen dur
ing their four years there and for two
years after graduation. That means
they must stand six years service
before they get a commission.
Many Advantages.
If the ensign bill becomes a law
there will be great rejoicing among
the 700 midshipmen now at the acad-
envy and the 900 graduates who are
now doing their two years sea duty
prior to being commissioned ensigns.
The advantages will be many. In
stead Of leaving the Naval Academy
as midshipmen at s1.400 per annum
pay, they will receive as ensigns $1,S70.
while on sea duty. Furthermore. they
will not have to take final examina-
ton after they have been out of the
academy two years before they are
given n commission. They will re-
ceive pensions II they become physi-
cally deficient any time after they
leave the academy and last. but far
from least, they will have the privi-
iege of marrying as soon as they grad
uate.
Among the Michigan young men who
would be affected by the passing of
the bill is Donald Royce OF Hancock

Foremost of Medical Men in France
Not Trained as Physician.

The successor OF Pasteur as director
Of the institute he founded is Ellie
, Metchnil<off. The foremost of French
medical men. he was neither born a
Frenchman nor trained as a physician.
Like Pasteur. he entered the realm Of
medicine by crossing the frontier Of
another science.
Pastcur was a chemist an inorganic
chemist at that and was running down
the cause OF asymmetry in crystals
when he found himself over i'm the
field of biology. He had been engaged
In separating the left ward skewed
crystals OF tartaric acid from those that
skewed TO the right by picking them
out OF the mixture by hand.
But he discovered that he could
throw the burden OF selection off on an
agency whose time was less valuable.
namely the yeast plant. which has an
appetite for one kind of crystals but
disdains the other. This led him to
the germ theory Of life and Of disease
and enabled him TO save millions an
nually to the farmer and stock raiser
and unnumbered human lives.
Metchnikoff's experience was similar

logist less interested in man than in
the invertebrates. devoting his time
to the study OF minuter forms OF life
on the barren sfeppes of Russia and
in Mediterranean waters. IL was IN
Italy at Messina in 1859 that he made
the discovery which led him to fame
as one OF the benefactors OF the human
race.
He was investigating the digestion OF
marine invertebrates when he got the
clue to the protective action OF the
