Ultraviolet Changes.
Diseases and microbes are to be
classed among these movable feasts of
discovery. Time was when new germs
and maladies were unearthed every
day. But that was a generation ago or
less. with the finding by Pasteur and
Koch that human, plant. and animal
distempers are associated always with
minute animalcula and vegetables,
called microbes legion Of tthen) young
investigators jumped into the fray, and
within a few years discoSered and
labeled scores of guilty germs.
Then came a lull. All the parasites
as we'll as all the diseases seemed to be
named. Nevertheless. every now and
again at long intervals a strange dis-
ease would appear and a hitherto un-
known ultra-microscopic parasite would
be tagged.

offenders? Certes, they were not al

Serious New Disease.
NJ and Mime. Henri were at work on
an investigation of various rays. such
as the ultraviolet ones, upon the MI
crobes of disease. The germs which
escaped death in their four years of re-
search were observed to be entirely
changed in character. in their nature, in
their nutritive powers, in their actiVi-
ties. and in their products.
The bacilli of anthrax, which were the
ones first found by Davainc. studied by
Koch, and used in experiments BY Pas
teur, causes as definite q cattle disease
as the typhoid germ causes In mankind.
These French savants, therefore. took
IL among others for experimental pur-
poses. Under ultraviolet rays those
which survived became short. fat and
round. instead of long. rectangular and
narrow. Before treatment they curdled
milk and ate up gelatin; afterward they
did not.

themselves and thus they transmit
