HICCOUGH GERM
ISOLATION
esS-s
ACHIEVED
pr. Edward Rosenow, Of Mayo
Foundation, Reports to
American Psychologists

Isolation Of a gem which prob
ably caused the recent hiccough
epidemic in Washington and through.
out tie country, was reported 10
the Society of American Bacteri-
ologists today, by Doctor Edward
c. Rosenow, OF the Mayo Founda-
tim, Rochester, MINI,
This germ not only incites spasms
of the Diaphragm, producing the
dtscomforture ordinarily known as
hiccough, but also produced similar
ahpormaiities of the abdominal and
other muscles.
Experiments conducted on dogs
by Doctor Rosenow convinced him
that when the live germ caused
spasns ''the washed dead bacteria
and filtrate of the actively growing
culture also produced this phenome-
non."
This discovery was greeted by
scientists as long step in the
directing of combating the Worri-
some, and sometimes fatal, epidemic.

In ObseTvatories

Astronomers are hard people to

Observatory, wheL ]. c. Hammond,
Of the local station, complained Of
the surprising result that the
time at any observatory may often
be in error by as much as two.
tenths OF a second, although the
utmost care has been taken in the
observations"
He was speaking of the wireless
time signals sent from the Annap.
oils radio station as far as South
Africa, Australia and Alaska.
They can probably be heard
anywhere on the EARTH" he de-
clared. and then he made com.
plant about the fractional error in
time. The cause of the discrepancy
between sending and receiving time
does not lie with the instruments,
he said.
