AR!!Q''K
a DAY
RY BRUCE canon

T. RNEST HEMING Way has
Il written Death in the After
noon" to tell people who never have
seen them just what bull fights are
like.
He has seen some 300 of them
himself and he has found in them
a strange sort of art-an art which
is impermanent, misunderstood and
bloody, but which, he insists, never
theless, is significant.
To begin, he explains, the bull
fight is not simply contest be-
tween man and bull, in the sense
that a prize fight is a contest be-
tween two boxers.
1t is carefully staged, elaborate
ly formalized tragedy in which the
inevitable death of the bull is the
high moment-the moment of
truth" as the Spanish call it.
The bull fight has three parts.
First, the bull faces the picadors
who are on horseback. He drives
them from the ring and has his
moment of triumph. Then come
the banderilleros, who fix barbed
sticks in his shoulders, tire him and
leave him for the matador.
The third act brings the matador
alone into the ring with him; the
matador must master him with his
bit of colored cloth and must final
ly, at the risk of his own life, bring
INN into the position where he can
be killed with a sword thrust.
Mr.. Hemingway's book may not
persuade you that bull fighting is a
great thing.
But 1 am sure you will find the
book uncommonly interesting all
the way; one of the most interest
ing, and surely one of the most ex-
ceIlently written, books of the whole
year.
Published by scribners, the book
sells for $3.50.

By CHted Press
BERKELEY, Cal, Oct 5.-Germs
millions of years old have been
found by Dean G. B: Lipman of
the University of California.
Dean Lipman announced the dis
covery of bacteria in deep oil de-
posts formed millions Of years ago.
The strange microscopic germs"
have the power of decomposing Pc
troleum into other substances, such
as organic acids, he said.
The baceria was described by
Dean Lipman as living chemical
laboratories, which not only have
the power of decomposing oil, but
also are capable of turning in
organic salts containing certain
substances directly into the nitro
gen which is essential to all forms
of life.
Play Part in Change
ut has been known for some
time" Lipman pointed out, that
soil bacteria play an important
part in the chemical trsnsforma-
ton of ammonia to nitrogen in
the form of nitrates.
I'm this activity the bacteria serve
as adjuncts of plant life and are
extremely necessary allies of the
farmer"
But none of these bacteria has
been definitely shown to carry
through the entire operation
alone The usual process is for one
type of bacteria to turn ammonia
into nitrates, and for another tyre
to carry the process from nitrites
to nitrates.
