Luminous Bacteria.

There is a striking article in Knowl-
edge on luminous bacteria. Mr.. Bar
nard, who writes the article, includes
careful directions as to how the light
producing bacteria may be obtained
and grown. These bacteria emit light
that is produced entirely by themselves
altogether Independently of any ex-
traneous light source; in fact, they
grow and produce light better If kept
entirely in the dark. Their efficiency
as light producers is extremely high
and were it possible to carry out on
a commercial scale the process Of light
production as it occurs In bacteria a
tremendous step forward would be tax
en-. The natural habitat Of these or
ganisms seems to be almost exclusive
ly sea water, or at least water such
as is found in estuaries where an APP
probable quantity of saline matter Is
present. The most easily produced
organisms of this group is the photo
bacterlum phosphoreseens. 1t may be
obtained from a dead herring or mack
erel.

CHAPTER XxVI-continued.


Right now l can see the butt of that
gun trembling. The Scottie made a
complete turn in the air, hit the
ground, rolling over twice, each time
clawing at the earth, and then re-
manned still, about four feet from me,
in q sort of sitting position. l called-to
him, Are you hurt badly, Jock7" but
no answer. He was dead. A dark red
smudge was coming through his tunic
right under the heart. The blood ran
down his bare knees, making horrible
sight. On his right side he carried his
water bottle. l was crazy for a drink
and tried to reach this, but for the life
Of me could not negotiate that four
feet. Then l became unconscious.
When 1 woke up was in an advanced
first-aid post. 1 asked the doctor If
we had taken the trench. "We took
the trench and the wood beyond, all
right" he said, land you fellows did
your bit; but, my lad, that was thirty
six hours ago. You were lying in No
Mans Land In that bally hole for day
and half. It's wonder you are alive"
He also told me that out Of the twenty
that were in the raiding party, seven
teen were killed. The officer died of
wounds In crawling back to our trench
and 1 was severely wounded, but one
fellow returned without a scratch, with
out any prisoners. No doubt this chap
was the one who had sneezed and i'm
properly cut the barbed wire.
In the official communique our trench
raid was described as follows:
"All quiet on the western front, ex-
cepting in the neighborhood of Com
mecourt wood, where one of our raid
ing parties penetrated into the German
lines"
1t is needless to say that we had nc
use for our persuaders or come-alOngs
as we brought back no prisoners, anC
until l die Old Peppers words, per
sonally 1 don't believe that that par
of the German trench is occupied" vii
always come to me when l hear some
fellow trying to get away with tishl
statement. 1 will judge it accordingly

CHAPTER XVII.
BIishty.

From this first-aid post, after inocu-
lating me with antitetanus serum to
prevent lockjaw, was put into an am
bulance and sent to temporary hos
pital behind the lines. To reach this
hospital we had to go along road
about five miles in length. This road
was under shell fire, for now and then
a flare would light up the sky-a ire
mendous explosion-and then the road
seemed to tremble. We did not mind,
though no doubt some Of US wished
that a shell would hit us and end our
misery. Personally, was not particu-
lar. 1t was nothing but bump, Jolt, rat
tie, and bang.
Several times the driver would turn
around and give us a "Cheero, mates,
Wen soon be there" fine fellows,
those ambulance drivers, lot Of them
go West, too.
We gradually drew out of the fire
zone and pulled up In front of an inn
mense dugout. Stretcher-bearers car
ried me down a number of steps and
placed me on white table in q brightly
lighted room.
A sergeant Of the Royal Army Med
zeal corps removed my bandages and
cut off my tunic. Then the doctor,
with his sleeves rolled up, took charge.
He winked at me and l winked back,
and then he asked, 'How do you feel,
smashed up bit?"
l answered: I'm all right, but I'd
give q Quid for a drink of Bass.~
He nodded to the sergeant, who dis
appeared, and I'll be darned If he
didn't return with a glass Of ale. l
could only open my mouth about
quarter of an inch, but got away with
every drop of that ale. 1t tasted just
like Blighty, and that is heaven to
Tommy.
The doctor said something to an or
derby, the only word l could catch was
"chloroform," then they put some kind
Of an arrangement over my nose and
mouth and 1t was me for dreamland.
When l opened my eyes l was lying
on a stretcher, In a low wooden
building. Everywhere looked l saw
rows of Tommies on stretchers, some
dead to the world, and the rest with
Tags in their mouths.
The main topic of their conversation
was Blighty. Nearly all had grin on
their faces, except those who didn't
have enough face left to grin with.
grlnned with my right eye, the other
was bandaged.
Stretcher-bearers came in and be-
gan to carry the Tommies outside. You
could hear the chug of the engines in
the waiting ambulances.
l was put into an ambulance with
three others and away we went for an
eighteen-mile ride.
was on a bottom stretcher. The
lad right across from me was smashed
up something horrible.
Right above me was man from the
Royal Irish rifles, while across from
him was a Scotchman.
