two small fragments of agate found
at Babylon, of which he had received
drawings. In his dream a tall, thin

MIcRoBE THAT EATS METAL
English Student Discovers Bacillus
That Has Specific Action on
Iron and Steel.

Although science knows a hundred
heterogeneous that devour the hui
man tissues and cause all sorts of NAL
aides, and also many that eat plants
roots, dirt, wood and clothing, 1t has
never been imagined that there wa!
one capable of eating up bits of steel
and iron. Yet the discovery just made
by e. M. Mumford, an English stu
dent, shows that this is the case
A bacillus that has specific action
upon solutions of iron and steel was
obtained by Mr.. Mumford from the
Bridgewater canal tunnels at Wors-
ley, Lancashire.
This new species of bacillus varies
In its digestive action upon iron and
steel compounds according to whether
it acts in the presence or absence OF
air. When oxygen is present the iron
is precipitated by the germs as iron
bog ore, while in the absence of oxy
gen no iron salts are formed
This iron-eating germ is short mi
crobe about one-thousandth of an inch
long. 1t grows readily on potatoes and
then looks greenish-brown in color. II
also colonies in milk, gelatine and
agar.
1t also forms an iron digestive juice
or enzym, which acts upon iron just
as the germ itself does.

Not Like Father.

An old Irishman who had a good
deal of money, but who wasn't very
particular about his habits or con-
duct, lived in Chicago. His custom
was to go down town about once a
month on a spree. and then come back
and beat his family and break the
furniture. His aged wife who had
stood him for many years, was blind.
Finally he died, and his children
gave him a fine funeral They had
plenty of money now that the old man
was dead, and so they spread them
selves. At the church there was
elaborate ceremony. The blind widow
was dissolved in woe. She cried and
cried all through the service, paying
scant heed to what was going on I'M
til the eulogy was pronounced She
listened The parson referred to the
dead man in glowing terms. After
about ten minutes of this the aged
widow nudged her son and whispered:
Danny, do they be havin' two fun

Anecdotes of AuasaIz,

The son of Louis Agassiz, who has
just written a book about his distin-
guished father, has some good stories
to tell of the elder mans courage and
temper. During his first return to
Germany he had occasion to resent
the behavior of a restaurant waiter
who was neglecting everyone else in
favor of some army officers who were
seated at another table. One of the
officers defended the waiter. "Agas-
siz remarked that he was not speaking
to him; the officer handed Agassiz his
card; the latter tore it up; the officer
started to draw his sword, but before
he could get it out of the scabbard
AgassiZ knocked him down with a
chair" Another story relates to the
life Of the great scientist in America
A few years before his death he came
into his house in Cambridge delighted
with an occurrence he had just seen in
Boston. An automobile pushing
through the crowd had knocked down
a woman. Her escort proceeded to
pummel the chauffeur But why
asked the listener. didn't the owner
come to his chauffeur's assistannce?"

Selling Land BY Balloon.

America is known as the home OF
the enterprising land agent and prob
ably no feat performed elsewhere In
the line of selling lots has been
eoualed by the exploit of one Los
Angeles man. He had almost con-
WINGED customer of the merits of a
certain suburban lot, but the prospec-

tract without seeing the property for
which he was expected to pay out
his good money.
1t was a little too late IN the after
noon to 60 out, and besides, the
agents motor car was In use, but it
would never do to let the customer
get away, as he might change his
mind or see some other agent.
The salesman had an idea. A show
mans captive balloon makes frequent
ascents just few streets away from
his office, rising to the end of a 1000
foot cable and carrying passengers at
81 trip.
With little urging the customer
was induced to take the aerial jour
ney, and from that altitude the agent
pointed out the suburban lot, showing
its exact location and the character
Of the surrounding property quite as
clearly as If they were actually on the
ground. Before they descended the
man had agreed to buy the lot.
