tion have not had their way
without dispute in this war.
Science valiantly has pursued
the destroyers of life and met every new
danger with new discovery.
One of the most persistent agents of
death, in war and out of it, has been the
disease-carrier, the person who harbors
and distributes the germs of infectious
diseases without being himself afflicted
with them. Such person was the famous
Typhoid Mary, who spread that ailment
far and wide before she was suspected
and segregated.
Disease-carriers are an old story to
medical men, but until recently the
source of infection in the carriers body
has been complete mystery But at
last, says "The Illustrated London
News
"this mystery has been cleared up; and Pro-
fessor Henri Vincent, perhaps the greatest
living authority on the subject, whose poly
vaent' serum has saved SO many valuable
lives in our own army as we'll as in that of
our gallant allies, is able to pronounce un-
hesitatingly that the storehouse of germs IN
typhoid Carrier is always the gall blad-
der, and in some cases the great bladder
also
"Why this should be so is a most curious
incident in the history Of immunizati'n, and
may be found later to have bearing on
other diseases than typhoid.
"What concerns us here is the means by
which these carriers manage to communl-
cate their disease germs to their reighbors;
and Professor Vincents researche s<ksaye lit-
tie doubt possible that this is done by in
fecting the sewage. The breeding ground
Of the bacillus involved is, as he conclu-
sively shows, not the blood of the carrier,
but the bile; and from this the pest normal
ly passes into the ejecta From this source,
in spite of all sanitary regulations, the con-
taminatlon Of drinking water, of milk, Of
bread, and even of meat fish and vegetables
is but too easy, and the unsuspecting per-
son who has not been rendered immune by
a previous attack or by artificial means con-
tracts the disease by what the doctors call
the way of the mouth. Doubtless he or she
must be weakened by some cause-such as
insufficient food or watching or anxiety
or we should ell now be suffering from it,;
but what we want to do is to stamp out the
disease altogether with complete success
allow this may be done is also fairly
plain. carrier like Typhoid Mary must
not be left at large to spread the disease
broadcast. He or she must be prevented
under present conditions from living with
normal people, and must be as carefully seq

But it is not only the appearance of
the face that the sculptor surgeon
changes. He must really be a sculptor
to greater degree than at first appears.
He must have greater knowledge of
the mechanics of armature than the
sculptor, for it is much more intricate
kind of armature that he must concern
himself with. There are cases in which
the surgeon must erect framework
upon which to build the new face, as
this extract from a letter written by an
American woman in a military hospital
in Paris and published in 'The Ameri-
can Magazine" will show:
"To-day saw an interesting case at the
Duryea Depot; young aviator who had
fallen with his machine when it had caught
fire. He landed on his face, which was
smashed to pieces. Otherwise he was not
hurt.

"The Institute of Military Hygiene was es-

The tremendous war now being waged

the health of the armies. Nevertheless, no
army in the world has hygiene laboratory

government, by agreement, fits out the In

The Institute Of Military Hygiene not

Putting Floods Out of Business

T N AN interesting article in "The

q tenden, on the problem of floods,
the subject of provision against
them is taken up under three headings

with which they are frequently associated,
and yet they cover an apparent space in
the heavens that would be filled normally
by hundreds or, in some cases, thousands of
stars. When we consider that the average
diameter of star is about million miles
and that within a sphere whose radius is,
according to Newcomb, 412, 900 times the
radius of the earth's orbit (the radius of
the earth's orbit being 93,0O00oO miles),

vast irregular nebula. Were they not of
small mass and low density, their gravita-
tional force would be so great that they
would draw to them all the neighboring
stars"
A distance 412,50Q times the distance
of the earth from the sun surpasses the
powers of the human mind to compre-
hend even when it is expressed in fig
ures, thus: 38,362,500, 100000 miles.
Nor does it help us to put it into writ
ten words and say thirty-eight trillions
three hundred and sixty two billions five
hundred million miles.
The text under the first illustration,
which is also reproduced from "The
Electrical Experimenter," deals with
much vaster immensities. It is said that
the distance of the Great Nebula in
Orion from our system is, according to
Professor Pickering, $3.50 light years.
And what does that mean? A light year
is the distance that light travels in 365
days. The late Professor Simon New
comb established the fact through a
series of accurately observed expert
ments that light travels at the rate of
about 1928 miles a second. Now, as
there are 31,536,000 seconds in a year,
light evidently must travel 5,872,4 ,413,-
100000 miles in one year.
And the distance of the Orion Nebula
from us? 1t is more than thirty-eight
quadrillion seven hundred trillions of
miles! In figures, 38,702,581 900 900, 900
miles.
The text under the Cygnus Nebula
quotes no measurements, but apparently
the length of this splotch of light is still
greater than the diameter of 1,70O light
years mentioned for the Orion nebula.
The immense number of stars studding it's
sweep across the heavens suggests some
thing of the prodigious length of the neb-
ula.
This plate was taken by Photographic
process, which requires a long exposure
and brings out vast numbers of stars not
visible through the strongest telescopes
The astronomers of the world have for
years been engaged in preparing a map
of the entire heavens, composed of MANY
thousands of such small plates placed
one against the other. The making of
such map is such a vast undertaking
that it had to be divided up among the
astronomers of the leading nations of
the world-excepting those Of the United
States, who, alas! had no fund at their
disposal for meeting the expense in
volved. How far advanced this great
work was when the war began and to
what extent it has been retarded by the
war is not known.
Meanwhile, it is interesting to record
one estimate that has been made of the
total number Of stars that will be shown
on the completed map. Such an estimate
was published about half dozen years
ago by Professor Kapteyn, Dutch
