Criminals Exploit Mentally Deficient.

Criminals Exploit Mentally Deficient.
Psychiatrists have long recognized
the tendency among mental deficients
towards criminality. 1t appears that
this tendency is now being discovered
and exploited by the criminal classes
themselves. At a recent meeting of
the Societe Clinique de Medicine Men
tale reports the London Lancet Drs
Marcel BRAND and Borel presented a
boy. aged fourteen, who had on two
occasions been used as a tool of a
professional thief 1t is clear that if
this practice is at all widespread
many mentally deficient children with
out criminal tendencies in the first
place may very soon acquire them
These children. incapable of moral
Judgment as they often are, should be
specially protected by society, which
in defending them will at the same
time be protecting its own interests.

States Butterfly Ends tuberculosis.
The French bacteriologist Metalni-
kow, in a report of his investigations
which he has just presented to the
Pasteur institute, states that for some
time past he has been experimenting
on the larvae of butterflies and moths,
and he has. he declares, discovered
that they have the power to destroy
all the most dangerous known bacilli.
He inoculated them with diphtheria,
plague, tetanus and tuberculosis, and
found that however heavy the dose the
bacilli did not live more than few
days in the larvae, which seemed to
contain germ-destroying juices The
bacillus of Koch, for example, which
lives in the body of man for years after
1t once gets hold, was annihiated In
the body of the larvae in two or three
days.
The vitality of the larvae, the scien-
tist declares, is enormous, and he has
not been able to find any bacilli which
can obtain a hold on their bodies. Now
he is endeavoring to isolate serum of
butterfly grubs with which he hopes TO
cure the world of tuberculosis.
