"ONE-CELLED" ORGANISMS

In a recent editorial. the New Era
gave little information on the ef-
fects of scientists to find what ele-
ment there is in our bodies that
makes death inevitable. The chief
discovery so far is that the "one-
celled" organisms from which we
aprang ages ago, never die.
The scientific men in their search
ings for long hidden facts have in
cidentally looked up the matter of
longevity in the animal kingdom, to
which, of course, mankind belongs.
In the main mans life is longer
than that of the beasts of the field
and the birds of the air.
The sheep is in his dotage at IA.
So is the dog. The horse runs up
to 40 occasionally and there have
been instances where he lives to over
40. But the tortoise is a regular

The eagle, swan, culture and fall

the age OF many reptiles, the natur-

death as the biologists. but this

Don't Blame Mosquito.

We have lately been taught that the
mosquito was the only disseminator OF
malaria and that we should be safe II
we should get rid of mosquitoes but
Doctor Roux, farmerly chief physician
of the St Louis hospital at Jerusalem
asserts as the result of his own expert
ence of 20 years and that OF mhhy
colonial physicians, that malaria ofteh
exists where there are no mosquitoes.
He points out that everywhere IN
malariai countries the disease breaks
out lust at the time when the soil Is
broken for planting. He does not deny
that the anopheles mosquito spreads
malaria, but he says this Is evidently
not the only means of Infection
The old theory that malaria was
caused by the bad air of swampy ois-
tricts or by certain emanations from
the soil may be correct after all.
