FERCE CVIL VAR Scientist Finds “Bacterio- | phage” at Work Killing Fel- low Bacteria in All Life. | Special Diapateh to The Star. ALTIMORE, | 15 "The bac teriophage is alive.” So maintains Dr. F. d'Herelle, its discoverer, front- ing the skeptival criticism of many other men of science, in his new book on the subject, just off the press here. The bacteriophage is alive, and no mere chemical phenomenon; and it | maintains itself, he sayvs, as a parasite germ that kills other germs. tura of bacteria can be “'pure. as tha bacterlophage is concerned; it ie harder to find a germ without its bacteriophage accompaniment than it fe to find & wooly dog without fleas in_Summer. But the bacferiophage is not a mera annoyance to the germs it infests, ac- | cording to Dr. d’Herelle. Tt Kills them, just as soma germs kill men and animals and plants, and then it dissolves their corpses. And just as there ara special germs that attack men and not horses, and others that attack horses and not sheep. so there are spacial breeds of bacterfophage. sach of which has iis faverite germ | which It attacks. Some Are Indiseriminate. Rt just as some germs. for exam ple anthrax. will attack men. horses and sheep indiscriminat 80 there are some varieties of bacteriophage whosa appetites are equally indis- criminate. permitting them to devour several different species of bacteria. Dr. d'Herelle claims that he has suc- ceeded in isolating single bacterioph- aze “corpuscles.” and in breeding up pire cultures of these different strains. According te the author. these “super.germs” are almost unimagina- | hly small, having diameters of 20 thousands of a thousandth of a milli- meter—and a millimeter i about a twenty-fifth of an inch. Thev pass | veadily through the pores of a very | fine porcelain filter, that will stop or- dinary germs as though they were marble in a colander. But one of these tiny organisms, he says, denetrate into the bodv . terium. and there will divide and dis vide again, just as a_germ does in the hody of A man; until the bacteriophage family” becomes =0 numerous as 10| hurst the unfortunate bhaecterinm | asunder and so cause its death. | Effect On.Health, Man and all other animal organisms | hahitnally infested with bacteria 3 about with them all the time one o more strains of bacteriophage that make war on their commonest germ enemies.

Dr. d'Herelle made his discovery of the bacteriophage while he was at the | Pasteur Institut in Paris. He is| now at Alexandria, Ezvpt. working on Wlems of the eontrel of tropical siseases. ROCKVILLE. ROCKVILLE, Md.. June 15 (Special). -Alrs. Mary Reatrice Bowman of this county and Washington. has been zranted a limited divorce. by Judge bert B.
