by Commodore J. Stuart Blackton as

Great things have small beginnings.
A spectacle maker, Jan Le%ippersheim
by name, living in Holland, invented
the crude magnifying glass in 1908.
Anton Won Leuwenhoek, born in Delft,
this day 1882, improved this clumsy
toy and evolved a compound micro
scope which has become the most val
liable sanitary tool yet devised by
man. The first microscope was as far
removed from the high wedered in
strument of today as is the modern
American fran the original caveman.
Yet by this faulty means, L~euwenhoek
naturalist, physician and botanist, dis
covered certain minute bodies which
he called "little animals" He made
drawings of these and today we know
them for those useful friends and ma
lignant enemies of man-bacteria.
We spend our days surrounded by
another world, a living world of count
less billions, invisible to the naked
eye, silent, tireless, destroying the liv-
ing, consuming the dead, useful in
the science and arts, yet often follow
ed by a tarin of sickness, suffering
and death. A curious paradox this,
yet bacteria r at once the greatest
friends and the fercest foes of every
living thing. Not animals, as Leu
wenhoek thought, but vegetables, bac-
terra consist of two classes, those
which prey on living things and those
which reduce to their original miner
ais, fluids an dgases, every dead thing
which they attack. They are of var
ious shapes, round like marbles or
straight like little sticks. They grow
in clusters, chains, and in pairs. They
are ubsuitous. The dusty air, the
earth and its waters, the interior OF
animals and plants all contain them.
They cause the fermentation of foods,
they make cheese, they produce de-
sease an dsome Of them when killed
and injected into an animal protect it
against the very disease which they
would hive produced if living. Many
Of them live as harmless creatures in
the body Of an animal for years, only
to kill their host when the opportunity
presents. Their study has given birth
to a science, bacteriology, one of the
foundation stones + public health.
Their mere presence des not neces-
sarily produce desease. Recalling the
parable of the sower, some bacteria
fall by the wayside, some fall upon
stony places, and some fall in the
ground and bring forth the fruit Of
sucering, perhaps death. A normal,
temperate life, free alike from the
gluttony of id!eness or overwork, the
sound mind in the sound body, a cheer
full, normal environment, these form
the stony places in which bacteria take
no root. The depraved appetites of
mind and body, the dark and sordid
atmosphere Of penury, the nerve rack
ing and strength undermining trades,
these prepare the good ground.
The greatest weapon against bac-
terra is cleanliness. The mastery ov-

err premature death lies to a great
measure in our own hands. Clean
persons, clean cities, clean workshops
and clean lives are the makers of pub
lie health. The United States Public
Health Service and other sanitary
bod bodies of this country are gradual
ly bringing these facts home to the
general public. In this way cleanli-
ness is becoming more general, and
the span of life in America is gradual
ly being heightened. All of which is
largely due to the microscope.

years to collect testimonials from ev-

but they stuck to it until they succeed

Converted Chinese Are Unusually GEN.
erous In Their Support Of
Christian Work.

The question is sometimes asked
whether the natives in our foreign
fields really contribute in any ade-
quate way toward the support of
Christianity, says writer in the Liv-
ing Church. This is perfectly rea-
sonable question, since self-support is
one of the signs of a vital coherent
national church. AS partial re-
Spouse 1t is worth noting that within
the last few months Chinese Chris
tians have made the following gifts:
~ $4,000 toward hall for st. Johns
college. Shanghai, commemorating the
twenty-ffth anniversary of Doctor
Pott; (2) $4,000 toward pledge of
$500 for the Cathedral School for
Girls, Hankow; CD $4,000 promised
for the auditorium of st. Mary's,
Shanghai; (4) residence, erected at
a cost Of some $4,000. for Doctor Mac
Willie, Wuchang, as mark of appre-
citation for the work done by him as
head Of the Red Cross during the revo-
luton; also (5) $4,000 has been con-
tributed toward the purchase of land
for the enlargement of hospital; (6)
$1,000 given outright for the purchase
of land for st. Lukes hospital, Shang-
hal
These are very recent instances OF
Chinese generosity, in addition to
which there is a constant increase in
giving toward the general support of
Christian work.

CARE IN USE OF MATCHES
Wise Person WIN Take Every Prscau-
tIon-Proper Receptacle for Used
Ones Should Be Utilized.

When handling matches, those Of
us who are old enough to know the
danger connected with them are wary.
The receptacle into which we put
them Is absolutely freproof. Then, il
we are wise. instead of foolish, we
place the burned matches in another
little fireproof receptacle instead Of
an infiammabie wastebasket. Yet, al
most invariably, even the wise ones
will place their burnt matches In a
tiny glass swung on ribbon loop
from the gas Jet, or some nearby con-
venient place. Supposing that a burnt
match should still have smoldering
spark in 1t that would set FIRE to
the other dead matches, or should leap
up in little tongue of flame and lick
the baby ribbon with which the glass
is usually hung The result would be
a little heap OF blazing firewood upon
the floor, and the next thing the fire.

matchwood within it could burn long
enough to melt the. wire. There is
danger, however. Of 1t breaking the
glass, so that to exclude danger en-
tirely, receptacles should be metal or

Above ALL teach the children to
never. under any circumstances, put a
burnt match in the waste basket. Let
them place 1t upon china tray or
some piece OF metal near by. Also
warn them against placing such a
