Mud Pie Census.

Doctor Russell, who tells us that In
spoonful Of good arabic land there
are more living organisms than there
are people in the United Kingdom,
has probably not wasted his time
making an accurate count, but there
is no doubt he is well within the mark,
observes the London Chronicle.
A French bacteriOlogIst recently
caught his little son playing with Il
mud pie, and, borrowing a small pOr-
tion Of the mixture, carefully Analysed
it in his laboratory. He found it
teeming with microbes, but only took
census of the harmful varieties.
He found when he had finished his
labor that the little bit of the pie
he dealt with contained the following
germs: Diphtheria. 100000; measles,
2,450,OOO; smallpox, 100000; lockjaw,
3,G00.OO0; dysentery, 100000; pneu
m0nln, $4,000; tuberculosis, 100000,
And the total of nearly II million was
only a percentage of the organisms in
the delIcaCy.

Obesity Undesirable.

Are you fat? BE on your guard il
you are. Doctor JOslin of Boston has
gathered striking statistics that show
an undeniable association of obesity
and diabetes, the condition in which
sugar, the most common of food fuels,
is NOT properly metabolized or stored
in the body. There are in this country
alone more than half million dia-
betics. "The penalty Of taking too
much alcohol is well known, and a
drunkard is looked upon with pity or
contempt" says Doctor Joslin. Rare
Iy, persons who become fat deserve
pity, because of real tendency to put
on weight despite moderate eating, but
most of them should be placed in some
what the same category us the alco-
hOlic. In 800 cases out Of 1000 be-
Ing fat implies TOO much food or too
little exercise. or both combined."-

On an automobile engine which was

The upper part of the motor crank

cams, to take brass tube, which was
threaded with a standapd pipe thread.
This tube was reamed out to snug

formed the plunger Of the pump. An
other piece Of tubing was screwed
onto the first at right angles, and to
the ends Of 1t, through two ballcheck
valves, were attached the oil tubes
leading to the crank case and to the

valves acted to prevent oil from flow
