DAILY TASK OF AVERAGE MAN.

to Carry W Tons Mile Up Mountain.

Medical science is made in Germany,
but the theories come from Paris.
Metchnikon based his opinion that old
age is Il form of self-poisoning on ex-
periments performed by inoeuiating ami
mails with the Bacillus Coli Communis-

to produce arterio- schlerosis. a harden

tended to discourage the activities of
these wicked little Colon Baciili, the most
effective strain of sour milk germs for
this purpose being the Bacillus Bull
garicus, the germ present in koumys, a
popular fermented beverage of Eastern
countries.
In his earlier announcement Metchnf-
koff stated that the harmless sour milk
bacillus antagonized the injurious colon
bacillus, like Greek meeting Creek
but more lately he modified that view
and asserted that he believed the Bacil-
lus Bulgaricus merely renders the pabu-
ium or nutriment less available for the
Colon Bacillus.
The Colon Bacillus Is a universal in
habitant of the alimentary canal of man
and most mammals 1t Is the germ whose
products, detected in the analysis OF
drinking water, prove to the sanitarian
that the water is contaminated with
sewage. How enormous its numbers are
i'll the intestine can be realized by con-
sidering the fact that the dead bacilii
ordinarily constitute about 20 per cent

civilized man plays the unwilling host

Advances in Radioorsphy.

During the last few years wonder
full advance has been made. both in
the manufacture of powerful hfsh
tension transformers and induction
coils for photographic purposes and
work is now being done in seconds
and even fractions of seconds where
many minutes were required but few
yeras ago.
The progress in designing and
building of apparatus, however, has
not been proportionately greater than
the development in the science of
'adiography. In former years it was
believed that the Photograph or X
ay plate was limited in its useful
less to showing bone structure, frac-
ures. dislocations and foreign bodies
which are dense enough to cast
shadow Today, however, radio
graphs are being made of nearly every
)art of the body and such part as the
ungs, heart, kidneys, stomach, in
estines, etc, may be seen on the
photographic plate. In order to show
such parts, the operator must me-
essarily be a skilled one.

viii Build 1900 Foot Tower.

A great steel tower that Will reach
to height of 1900 feet, SURPRISING the
Eiffel Tower by more than 600 feet,
is proposed for Dusseldorf. Germany.
If the plans are carried out the tower
will rise above the River Rhine,
part of the lower portion of it forming
a bridge.
The legs of the tower at right an
giles to the bridge will rest upon two
stone piers. which will lie about $50
feet apart on line with the central
pier of the bridge in the middle of the
stream. The arches at the base of
the tower will be 800 feet in height.
The top platform, which will be 100
feet below the extreme summit, is to

The tower will be used for scien-
tfic purposes, and will have wireless
installation in its top;

Il ture in the world and will mark an
Il engineering feat that, while not at al
