have been reading a remarkable 1tte
hook entitled, THE Kingdom OF Dust
by DryI. Gordon Ogden, an eminent PRO
lessor OF physics and chemistry. "
The Kingdom OF Dust IS the Rtngdnm
OF Death.
In this book DE-. Ogden says: Dust ia
the right hand OF death"
! DR.. Ogden then goes ON TO say:
.sMore than half Of an deaths I'm the
world from the equator to the poles. are
due to the distribution and breathing In
OF dust
Bacteria exists in all dust where human
beings live. eat, sleep. move. work.
Wherever we go, we are throwing off
particles OF animal matter.
Bacteria are form Of vegetation, 30
small, 80 minute, that 5000 Of these
germs may sit on the edge of a knife
blade along line one inch in length.
Some are visible under the microscope.
Others are so minute that the highest
power OF tire microscope fails to find
them. We only know that they exist
by watching their growth. They come
out OF the unseen and evolve until the
microscope can detect them.
Bacteria are divided into three classes;
the spherical, or coccl; the red-shaped,
or bacilli, and the spiral.
These grow by fission. That is, they
divide. and a piece so small that 1t can
not be seen by the microscope sometimes
breaks off and can be caught by the
scientist on "Petri Plate" or culture
bed. and evolved.
Bacteria are mostly OF a septic order.
and these are the cause OF various dis
cases. The best examples of septic dis
eases are pneumonia, tuberculosis and
such contagious diseases as diptheria,
scarlet fever, measles.
DR.. Ogden maintains that the diseases
CAUSED by bacteria are avoidable. The
thing to do is to minimize dust.
Dust Is everywhere. but the worst kind
OF dust is that which is confined within
the four walls of u room. This dust is
always germ-laden, because 1t IL infested
with effete matter thrown off by human
bodies.
In the Boston City hospital. where the
most rigid possible sanitary conditions
prevail. bacteria are found to be 1850 to
the cubic foot of air.
In Central park. New York. bacteria
are found to the extent Of $500 TO every
cubic foot.
These Conditions are not especially un-
favorable to life. But when you get up
to 10000 living germs to the cubic faot
you are getting into danger. and this
often happens in homes that are not prop
eriy swept and cleaned.
The average house, where the rooms
are only fairly ventilated and the house.
keeping is indifferent. may have from
10000 to 1900 bacteria to the cubic foot.
II We would be well we must devise a
plan by which the bacteria are not sim
My scattered through the room by sweep
ing and dusting. but by which they are
picked up effectively, captured and de-
stroyed. $.
