Ellie MECHNIKOV.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Ellie Mechnikov, the famous scientist
who died few days ago, was a man
with two regulations. To the scientific
and Intellectual world he was recog-
nized as one of the most daring and
original thinkers of this age; but to the
great public he was known solely as
the man who recommended the drink
ing OF buttermilk.
Mechnikov was the discoverer of the
method by which the human body re-
sists disease; he was the worthy sue
cessor of Louis Pasteur in the Paris
institute of that name; and he sent
millions of gallons Of buttermilk and
koumis and fermented milk cascading
down the throats of millions of people
He made a great scientific reputation,
and then he made the remark that per-
haps buttermilk would prolong life;
and forthwith the world set out to
drown death in buttermilk 1t did not
succeed. but it pretty well swamped
Mechnikovs reputation for genuine
scientific achievement.
Mechnikov was a Russian by birth, a
Jew by race and an atheist by religion.
For all of these reasons he left Rus
sia at an early age and went to Paris,
where he quickly gained a great repu-
tation not only as a scientist, but as a
philosopher. His great achievement
was the discovery of the action Of the
phagocytes, or white blood corpuscles,
In combating disease. He showed that
these tiny particles of matter are real
1y living amoebae that fight for the
life Of the body. When you cut your
finger it is the phagocytes, rushing into
the breach to fight the intruding mi
crobes. that cause the formation of a
clot. II the battle Is hard fought there
in Inflammation. and II 1t goes very hard
there may be fever. Under the micro
scope these phagocytes may be seen
overcoming. devouring and digesting
their enemies, the microbes.

Value Recognized the
by Other Scientists. tha M

puscles. and Pasteur, who discovered
the microbes. He also received half Of
a Nobel prize for this discovery. the
sum being divided between him and
Prof. Ehrlich, who discovered "6o6."
The $4,000 received by Mechnikov he
used in furthering his studies.
Mechnikov's studies Of old age pro-
ceeded logically from his discovery of
the phagocytes, for he found that in later
life these began to prey on the body and
were one cause of its decay. The princi-
pal other one he found in the bacilli which
inhabit the lower intestine, and he de-
fined old age as IAN infectious, chronic
disease"
He was able to show that the major
intestine was by no means essential to
human life, and that it was undoubtedly
serious menace at times. He also found
that in many lower animal forms the life
is long in proportion as the major intes-
tine Is short.
From all Of this he deduced that human
life is by no means SO limited as generally
supposed. and he announced his belief
that $50 years is much nearer
the normal lifetime Of man than
of this contention he gathered from all
over the world records Of persons who
had lived to be more than hundred. He
cited as well authenticated the case of
DraKenDurg, tne Norwegian, WHO HVeu
to be 146 years Of age; that Of Thomas
Parr, Shropshire peasant. who did hard
work until he was 1870 years Of age and
died at 152. and long list Of others. He
showed by specific cases that, although
sobriety was conducive to long life,
neither tobacco. coffee. nor alcohol was at
all fatal Thus he cited the case of
Elizabeth Durieux. who lived to be 120
and made coffee her principal food. TAX
ing sometimes forty small cups every
day and that of the famous Irish land
owner, Brawn, who also lived to be 12o.

Won Two Big Advantages.

TN doing this Gen. Cardona won two
principal advantages; first, he gained
the initiative of action: secondly, he
made Austria the scene of the warfare.
Throughout the campaign Cadorna
aimed to render his allies the greatest
possible services.
ITALY began her operations just at
the time the Russians, were obliged to
retreat. The strong army which
Cadorna threw across the northern bor-
der menacing Austria may have saved
that Russian retreat from a complete
disaster. Similarly, when the Germans
attacked Verdun. Cadorna started a
strong offensive along the Isonzo river.
which prevented Austria from sending
to the aid of the German crown prince
large numbers of troops and artillery
which had been prepared for that pur-
pose.
Equal advantages have recently been
obtained by Austria's temporary in
vasion of a small section Of the Italian
Trentino front In the Asiago district
II Austria had not centered all her
forces in this enterprise. 1t would have
been much more dinicult for Russia to
launch the marvellous offensive (which
she is now conducting. Prof1tingSby the
situation, Gen. Cadorna attacked the
! Austrians so energetically that their
sremoval from the Alps to the Carpa-
ethians to fight the Russians has been
out Of the question.
I'm Albania Gen. Cadorna likewise
laided our allies. 1t being materially
impossible to save Serbia and Monte
negro. he transformed the Albanian
seaport of Avlona into an impregnable
1nt'.enched camp. threatening and
checking the Austrians in the same
manner that the allied troops at Sa-
Sontkt have held back the Bulgarians.
