occurred as result Of the method of drying the bacteria, rather than from dryness itself Similarly it can be held by others that failure of the bacteria to die was due to in complete drying"
 By special drying methods Stark and Harrington found that two- thirds of the streptococci originally present grew readily again after 97 days dry existence. But only two or three per cent of certain other kinds of bacteria survived that long
 Widespread presf nee of disease germs in dust of homes, offices, hotels, hospitals, schools. apart ments, shops and dormitories was established in a report by Murray r. HorWood of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The samples came mostly from metro politan Boston, with a few from New York, Philadelphia and Toledo.
 Cause of Many Ills
 He found streptococci, which cause some of the serious types Of infection, hemolytpc types, which cause serious blood poisoning if they get into the blood. and staphylococ- cui which Cause a different category of ills.
 Tubercle bacilli were found, but when inoculated into guinea pigs failed to produce positive evidences of tuberculosis.
 Some of the dust was less than three days old, but the remainder ranged from three to six weeks in age.
 Tt seems proper to conclude," Mir. HOrWood reported, that in the presence of organic matter in con- siderable concentration, vegetative bacteria in household dusts survive for long periods of time, in spite Of the low concentration of moisture which is present."

Cambridge Mass. Dec. 30 tP,-An electric battery made Of living bac- teria at Johns Hopkins University was described to the Society of American BaCteriologists today.
 The battery was made by Dr. Bar nett Cohen of the medical school to illustrate the existence and ef- fleets of self-produced electrical currents in the growth Of bacteria.
 Each "cell" of the battery is made of a little more than two tea spoonsful (two cubic centimcters) of bacteria culture material coupled with a sterile control Through 34Q ohms of resistance this cell dis charged about one one-hundred thousandth of an ampere a minute,
 With such cells Dr. Cohen made a battery furnishing a current of about two thousandths of an ampere at 35 volts.
 Treated With Chemicals
 To obtain electrical results of such magnitude the bacteria were first treated with certain chemicals, Their normal electrical output is less, but it exists and is connected with the energy production in growth,
