THE CAUSE OF

BY Brice Belden, NJ. d.

~ ALLSTONES were at one
II time thought 10 occur in a
~ mechanical way as the re-
suit Of stagnation OF the bile, but
within the last dozen years. II has
been discovered that they are
caused through infection OF the
gall bladder by bacteria from the
intestial tract.
Intestinal autointoxication Is
the condition which especially
favors the presence Of gallstones,
and as the latter are common the
importance OF avoiding those
things which invite intestinal auto
intoxication through unhygienic
habits of eating Is obvious.
Experiments have shown that
gallstones may be artificially pro-
duced by injection of certain bac-
terra into the gall.bladder. The
bacteria capable of starting the
trouble are such as the colon bacil-
LUIS, which flourishes in the lower
intestine under ordinary conditions
Gallstones form in the organ
known as the gall-bladder and the
germs responsible for their pres
ence work their way up from the
intestine as described, or else are
absorbed into the vein which drains
the intestines before entering the
liver.

they found out that light

That question recalls a hero of
science-Ole Roemer. a Dane,
who In 1878 discovered. at Paris
that light travels through space
with a definite ana measurable We
locity. instead Of being transmit
ted instantaneously. But the wise
men Of the day took little heed of
Roemer's discovery until long after
his death, although he received
honors at home CONTRARY to the
proverb), and perhaps found con-
ISOLATION also in becoming mayor
and chief of police Of Copenhagen.
After Roemer became chief of
police he must frequently have
looked up at Jupiter with special
interest from the unlighted streets
OF Copenhagen, for 1t was Jupiter
that had helped him to his great
discovery of the motion of light.
Jupiter has four large satellites
circling around II in orbits that are

Now. since the earth's orbit lies
inside Jupiter's orbit, and about
Ave times nearer to the sun, and
since the earth goes round it's orbit
twelve times while Jupiter goes

distance between the two plants
changes quite rapidly.
