BACTERIA FROM THE RIFLE
Interesting Experiment Proves They
Can Be Fired From a Gun With
out Apparent Injury.

A singular experiment with bacteria
Is that of French investigator, who
has proved that those microscopic
enemies to human life and health can
be fred out of gun without suffering
any apparent injury.
He has infected rifle bullets with
bacteria and then fired the bullets into
tin boxes filed with gelatin prepara-
ton suitable for the nourishment Of
the heterogeneous. Upon watching
the holes made by the bullets in the
preparation, he found that the precise
forms Of bacteria with which the bull
lets had been charged rapidly devel-
oped there, although 1t was known
that no organisms existed in the gela-
tin previous to the experiment.
He has even found that bullet win
pick up bacteria from the air during
its flight. or from clothing through
which it passes, and deposit them, still
active and living, in gelatin target.

FINDS CoRALs' MEAT EATERS
geological Survey Head Discovers No
Vegetation in Whole Colony In
the Tortugas.

y
The builders of coral reefs and IS
lands are entirely meat-eating animals,
according to the report of DIR. T. Way
land Vaughan Of the United States
geological survey to the. Pan-Pacific
science congress, which recently held
its meeting In the Antipodes, says a
Melbourne (Australia) correspondent
Of the New York Evening Post In ex-
periments conducted by him in the Tor
tugas, in the Gulf of Mexico, corals per-
sistently refused vegetable diet, but
even water feas were not swift enough
to dodge the lightning-like tentacles of
these carnivorous creatures.
The living coral Is branched col
ony Of individuals all connected to-
gether, and with their soft bodies en-
.ased in strong shells. Each Individual
is little more than a stomach, with
mouth surrounded by tentacles and
sheltered In a little cup Of the limey
skeleton within which the whole colony
Is inclosed.
Doctor Vaughan described how when

meat, usually crab flesh or fish, was
,ffered, the tentacles at the outer edge
Of the colony would begin to appear.
Then the stimulus was transmitted to
other members Of the colony until soon
the surface of the specimen had opened
out like beautiful flower. This con-
tition, he explains, seems to indicate
that the coral colony is hungry and
ready to capture food.
Many different kinds of food were
offered corals. Doctor Vaughan said,
but they took only animal food. No
kind Of purely vegetable food was
taken by any one Of the numerous
species Investigated. Pieces Of plants
coated with small animals soaked in
meat. juice were swallowed, but later
the vegetable matter was elected.

PARIS, Nov. 19.-Agreement in

sources at Leipzig. The reichswehr
arrested two French and Belgian Of
fieers Of the inter-allied7 control

them for several hours until orders
had been received from their SUI

The liberated officers then went
to a hotel in Leipzig where at 2
o'clock four members of the reichs-
wehr invided their bed rooms and
declared they again were under ar
rest. The reichswehr took the Of.
fcers to the guard room, where
they were detained until 8 o'clock

the officers were molested and in
suited in shameful manner before

OKEHS LANGLEY BILL
Amendments, However Would
Take Out Stated Exemptions
In Senate Measure

the tax reform program almost
ready for decision
The constitutional amendments
committee of the house still had
the Landlord income TAX measure,
already passed by the senate. before
for the purpose of recommending
amendments, while the senate had
as its principal business for the ear
ly part of the week, the general
tax act, passed last week by the
house. The bill to repeal the tax
equalization act, passed by the
house, also was in the hands of the
senators.
Members Of the house consti-
tutioslal amendments committee
planned to place the Landlord bill
on passage Tuesday. AS the meas
ure now reads, it provides an ir-
come tax, limited to five per cent,
with the same exemptions provid-
ed in the federal law and clause
allowing crediting of ad valorem
tax payments in income tax assess
ments, and vice versa.
Efforts will be made, it was stat
ed, to amend the bill so as to carry
out the provisions recommended by
the special tax commission-that is
a. limited income tax, with small ex-
emptions end no credit clause.
A heated fight to amend the bin
SO as to provide that no ad valorem
taxds for state purposes may be col
lectcd, thereby removing the nee
essity, of the tax equalization law
for state purposes and giving the
state straight income tax meas
ure, limited to five per cent, with
small exemptions, has been perdict-
ed by a aumber of legislators.
Several leaders of both the house
and senate have stated that in their
opinion the later plan will resault

house and the changes being ac-
cepted by the senate.

POINcARE HURLS
DEFIANCE AT WORLD

PARIS, Nov. 19.-Premier Poin-
care had the last word Sunday aft
ernoon, the word that France would
press new penalties against disobe-
dent Germany and tighten its grip
upon the Rhineland, whether or not
Great Britain desires it.
In a speech inaugaurating a new
monument to war dead at Neuilly,
the French premier said:
eve are forced to use penalties.
We will take them. If they do not
obtain satisfaction we furthermore
are resolved not to evacuate the oc-
occupied territories before all claus
es of the Versailles treatey alie

tected against possibilities of new
aggression.
If Poincare is forced to take
these new steps that he speaks Of
end it is likely now that he will,
it is understood he will proceed first
with the seizure of Barmen and
Elberfeld, two adjoining textile
centers of the Rhineland. This
seizure would complete the French
grip on the Rhineland railway sys-
tenn and add the necessary touch to
permanent occupation of Germany.
Then the French political generals
simo could, and probably will, pro-
coed to tighten his grip on the
Ruhr, planning exploitations of its
great resources on a permanent
scale
Poincare was prompted to his
new outburst by word from Central
European allies of France-Czecho-
Slovakia, Poland and Jugo-Slavia--
that they would support any puri-
tive measures he takes against Ger
many Poincare nointed out to
them that they might hang by the
same moose. which Germany is hold

break the rope.

statements.
