Pursuit ot the Spiroehete.

Determining the diameter OF Betelgeuse and
discovering that the great star will contain
27.000O00 objects the size OF the sun, while it
will take 10000, 100000 globules like the earth to
equal its bulk is very Interesting, but the Michel
son announcement was followed by one that is
far more engaging. Dr. Simon Flexner, speak
ing for the Rockefeller research work, told Of
the isolation Of the spirochete by Noguchi the
Japanese Investigator who has been working
under the board in the quest for the specific
germ of yellow fever. The spirochete can be
sustained in life outside the human organism,
and thus a culture Is possible from which a
serum is obtained and this in turn is specific
against the deadly fever. yellow jack i, finally
conquered through this discovery. DR.. Flexner
told Of the pursuit Of other organisms so minute
that they escape through the pores of earthen-
ware filters, but these viii eventually be run
down by the persistent men Of science, who know
no respite when on the trail OF disease-breeding
germ These things do not excite the wonder
occasioned by the measure of the giant suns,
but humanity is far more concerned by the de-
lection of the little things whose presence so
frequently deranke the bodily mechanism. and
the capture of spirochete will bring more bene-
fit to the race than the ttiangulation Of dozen
or more of stars like Alpha Orionis

FOR THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL.

The announcement by President Reed of the
be taken to sell the waiting bonds, this to be
followed by prompt work on the proposed High
School of Commerce, must sound good to the
people of Omaha. Equally welcome is the state
ment that no further temporary construction
will be done on the present site. We have had
enough Of that
1t viii be necessary to secure permission
from the legislature to market the school bonds
at higher rate of interest than per cent. How
money market is in favor of the city, and it is
quite likely that the securities can be marketed
at a figure that will not entail great increase
in the cost of the building. However this may
be, all will agree that the community can stand
little added expense if it will ensure the safety
and convenience of the children who attend the
school.
In this connection The Bee ventures to ex-
press hope that nothing will be done to hamper
bonds. 1t is not time to interpose objections
based on trivialtes or technicalities. When the
legislature has passed the simple law that will
be required, and the history of the bond issue is
prepared so that its record will satisfy the pur-
chaser, then the transaction should suffer no
delay. .r...
Under the present program, Mr.. Reed ex-
presses the hope that ground will be broken
about March for the new school building
When a start is made, it should be prosecuted
with all possible expedition, to the end that the
present plant may be abandoned at the earliest
possible moment.
Dir Reeds statement contains much of COM
fort for all patrons Of the city schools, and
especially for those whose children are students
at the High School Of Commerce 1t shows a
commendable spirit on part OF the board which
can earn further praise by keeping at this Job
till it is completed.

ALBANISM.

! An albino Is one VINO IS practlcaliS
without pigment in certain places
in his body. Davenport calls 1t ex'
treme blondness, and yet there 1.
no graduation between natural blond.
ness and albinism. The most blond
Scandinavian Is very definitely diff.
ferent from an albino.
The place where the lack Of pig.
ment causes the greatest discomfort
Is the eyes. The normal eyeball II
hung with q dark curtain called the
choroid. This layer lies next to the
hard outer white layer called the
sclerotic. The choroid is there fol
the purpose Of preventing light from
getting into the dark chamber 81
the eyes in any quantity, except
through the shutter hole in the
front. Peel off the porcelain white
sclerotic and the dark curtain Choir
old is revealed. In an albino this
coat may be there, but 1t has no
pigment.
The shutter in front is called the
iris. The shutter hole through
which the ray light normally enters
properly is called the pupil, though
in the language OF the street the
shutter and not the hole Is called
the pupil. We loosely speak Of the
color of the pupil when we mean
the color Of the iris In albinos
there 10 no pigment in the iris.
In consequence Of the lack Of pig
ment in the iris and in the choroid
light leaks in from all sides. and
that which comes In through the
lens and pupil is met by cross rays.
The interior bf the eye, which
should be dark for good vision, Ia
lighted UP by rays leaking in from
all sides. .-..
The albino is uncomfortable and
nearly sightless in daytime for the
same reason that an owl is help
less IN daytime. In an attempt to
gain comfort his face Is puckered
up and his eyelids are squinted near
ly shut.
The absence Of pigment in the
hair does little harm. In fact. the
hair of an albino Is regarded by
some as attractive.
The absence Of pigment in the
skin may result in very attractive
complexion, but there, too. some
discomfort is caused.
The interior Of the body Is better
off II the skin filters out the light
part Of the suns rays. Witness the
deep fermentation which develops
in the skin OF those who live out
doors in the tropics.
Albinism is an inherited condi-
ton. When both parents are al
binos all the children can be ex-
pected to be albinos. When an al
bino marries a person with none Of
his tendency in the stock none OF
the children will be albinos. When
two persons not alhinos, but with
the tendency in their family stock.
marry, one-quarter of the children
will be albinos.

And yet, when the barber an
nounces raise in prices, there Is
general chorus of calamity howl
ing by the public. The public
threaten to buy safety raxors to
combat the increase Of hair cut and
shave. The merchants advertise
safety razors for sale and tell you
how to cut down expenses In the
tonsorial line. The barbers-and
master BARRIERS ~ have not the
means to put on an extensive ad-
vertising campaign SO as to show
the public that the in1fease is nec-
essary. They are forced to stand
back in silence and take abuse and
are frequently branded as profiteers.
Just mediate for q moment--try to
see how, when and where q barber
can profiteer!
The barber spends almost one
hour with a purchaser of q hair cut

THE LITTLE GODS.

Oh, you may sing your gypsy songs
OF winding trails and free,
or days Of rowing and OF love-
But sing them not to me! O.
For III love my little house.
So let the strange roads call;
Ill huddle by my c0zy fire
And hear them not at all.
Ny chair, my twisted candlesticks,
My great. soft feather bed
Think I'd change them for the camp,
And no root overhead
I'll eat my food from china plates,
With silver fork and knife,
And not with twigs from dirty tin
As must gypsy's wife.
All. do not whistle from the lane
I'll never heed your CALI
TIL hear the ticking Of my clock.
The embers as they fail.
