microbes Gather Moisture.

According to the researches Of
Messrs. Trillat and Fouassier, pub
lished by the Academic des Sciences
microbes suspended in the air act as
centers of condensation when the all
is humid. The authors give evidence
Of the existence of microblan drops in
the atmosphere and have studied their
properties. One very interesting re
suit Is that the sudden cooling OF the
atmosphere has the effect of transport
ing the microbes and localizing them
In determinate regions. The cool
surfaces attract them from a distance
almost instantaneously, the smaller be
ing transported farther. These new
ideas throw light on the genesis of GER
tain epidemics. and may be useful in
planning the sanitation of inhabited
places.

Other Ways.

johannesburg has taken to calling
itself the healthiest place on earth,
It's so healthy, in fact, that the people
who live in it would go on doing SO
forever, If they did not commit suicide
or get accidentally killed or poisoned.
At any rate, the sanitary people who
compressed there not long ago say its
climate is the finest on earth, and that
its people possess more stamina to
the square inch than any other place,
which is just variation, of course,
on the old gag about brains.
Still, between earthquakes, light
ming storms and live wires, the place
has its full share of excitements, and
there are always heaps Of ways of
getting killed besides dying from dis
ease.

Those Sacred SheIls.

The clever priests of China often
insert tiny images OF Buddha within
the shells Of living oyster, which are
left undisturbed for about a year.
At the expiration of that time the
images are covered with mother OF
pearl to such an extent that they ap-
pear to have grown in this natural
manner.
The Chinese people hold these
shells in great reverence, believing
that Buddha dwells within them.
However, should a Christian chance
to look upon one Of the shells it has
no further value to them. as its charm
is supposed to have left it.-Scientific
