By GARRETT P. SERVISS. Since man has discovered some of his most dangerous enemies as well as some of his most useful friends in the world of bacterial life, a new kind of menagerie has been devised—a “germ garden,” a bacterial laboratory or a museum of living microbes. To call such an institution a me- nagerie is a concession to popular usage, since these microscopic organ- isms are not animals, as many per- sons suppose, but plants, or at least they much. more nearly resemble lants than animals, and bacteriology is regarded as a branch of botanical science, The germ garden in the American Museum of Natural History is, per- haps, the most important now in the world, Vienna, as Dr, C. E. A. Win- slow tells us, once had the most valu- able existing collection of this kind under the care of Dr. Kral, but today it is not as complete as it was a few years ago, while the American insti- tution has been forging to the front. It is a little startling at first to be told that in the great museum building on the western border of Central park there are kept alive and lively multitudes of bacteria capable, if they could reach their victims, of spreading death broadcast among human beings. But there is not the slightest cause for fear, because all these germs are inclased in rows of test tubes and wifl'l))n the concrete walls of a closet, from which there is no possibility of escape, and it is perfectly safe for any curious person to go and look at them, under the vigilant supervi- sion of scientific guardians, There may be secen, if you use a powerful microscope, the terrrible ty- phoid bacillus, so small that Dr. Win- slow says 400,000,000 would be re- quired to equal size of a single grain of granulated sugar, There are also an Hints for Housewives Dusters and_ floor mops should be washed often. All fruits selected for should be strictly fresh. Vegetables are best bought fresh as they are wanted. Every cellar should be whitewashed at least once a year. Paper should not'be used in a larder —it 1s too absorbent. Canteloupes are for more inviting served with ice in them. A wooden plate scraper is very use- canning | ful when washing dishes. “When in doubt take a bath,” is a good rule for hot weather. Lime juice in the lemonade is a pleasant change on a hot day. Sweet potatoes can be made into soup exactly as white ones are. Almost any cold vegetable can be utilized to make a delicious salad. An apple put in the tin box with the cake will keep the cake moist. Japanese toweling makes pretty cushions for window seats and chairs. Iced tea is a great resource in hot weather, but it should not be made too strong. To wipe the book shelves with oil of cedar is said to keep the books from moulding. When the scalp is covered with dandruff, be sure to disinfect the brush after using. On ironing day, sheet handy, to | with buttons, etc. A white background is always best where there is much mahogany furni- ture. A cement made of white lead and boiled linseed oil will stop a leak in a gas pipe permanently. The water in which chicken, fresh tongue or mutton has been boiled, can be put into the stock pot. Graniteware can be kept in good condition if it is boiled in soda water for five or ten minutes twice a week. Currants are not usually liked in their raw state, but try mixing a few with raspberries or other fresh fruit. Never try to eat too little in hot weather—it is simply weakening and depressing. But food should be well chosen. A big, new tin oil can with the tin top cut off and replaced by a wooden cover makes an excellent camp re- frigerator if sunk nearly to the top in the ground. Keep a little clump of mint and a few roots of horse radish growing in some damp spot, then you will always have material for mint sauce and horseradish seasoning. Spray the rose bushes with soap suds once a week. This will keep them free from insects. After. spray- ing the soap suds on, go back in about an hour and spray with clean water. .- Wash the floor mop in the follow- ing way: Put the mop in & pan of hot water in which has been put two tablespoonfuls of lye. Let the mop remain in the water, where it will keep hot for three or four hours, then rinse it in'two or three clean waters and put it in' the sun to dry. keep an old folded ay under garments Germ of anthrax in a drop of blood. In susceptible animals these germs in- crease enormously and choke the ca- pillaries. exhibition the bacillus of diphtehria, the bacillus of whooping cough, the bacillus of cholera, the bacillus of meningitis, the bacillus of leprosy, the bacillys of influenza, the bacillus of pneumonia, the supposed bacillus of typhus and, most interesting in some ways of all, the original strain of the bacillus of tuberculosis, discovered by Dr. Koch. Besides these there are some 700 other kinds of bacteria, many of which produce plant diseases. But the bubonic plague bacillus has been shut out, because of accidents that have occurred with it elsewhere. It is a notion very hard to dissipate that all bacteria are breeders of dis- ease. The fact is that very many are not only perfectly harmless, but ex- ceedingly useful in the world. Many useful kinds can be seen in the mu- seumfi among them being the Bulga- rian buttermilk bacillus and the bacilli that mix nitrogen in the soil and aid the growth of plants. The fecundity of bacilli is amazing, Some kinds will, by division and growth, produce countless millions from a single germ, in a few days, a few hours, or sometimes in twenty minutes! It is by their numbers that The pink water bacillus, to the left, the nitrogen-fixing bacterium, which grows in soil and gssimilates atmos- pheric nitrogen for higher plants. they conquer, and by their incredible swiftness of multiplication. Think of fighting an army which from one'sur- vivor can, in half an hour, reproduce millions! It recalls the legend of the dragon which grew seven new heads for every one that was cut off. It is no wonder that some people, when they were informed of the nature and multitudinousness of the enemy that caused their sickness, were more alarmed than before. The purpose of the collection at the Natural History museum is to furnish opportunities for students of biology and medicine to study the living germs, since dead ones have no im- portance. There doctors may see the enemies that they are to combat, and become acquainted with their appear- ance and their manner of action. Most of the germs are grown in tubes of jelly formed from meat, peptone, agar, etc, Some of the hacteria are very ex- acting boarders, and require carefully prepared food; some made from eggs, some from blood, some from milk and some from special salts, Some can- not live without air, while others de-. mand an atmosphere from which oxy- gen has been removed. It takes an expert scientist to be caterer to a mi- crobe. Cultures are sent from the museum to every university and every health department of any importance in the United States and Canada, and re- cen!lg a demand has arisen for Amer- ican-bred bacteria in PFurope. All things considered, it is probable that this bacteriological garden renders more useful service to mankind than all the botanical gardens combined, Yet a great forest of bacteria, con- taining perhaps more individuals than there are trees in the whole United States, makes only a speck against a window pane. By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. “That isn't cricket,” says the Englishman. “It isn't done,” says our own society leader. “Das thut mam nicht,” says the German. Every nation, every walk of life has its own idiomatic expression for the fact that there are things it isn’t fair to do. To most of us there comes at some stage of the game of life a chance to get ahead—but get ahead not quite honorably. The principle involved may be so slight a deviation from the right and honorable thing no one else will ever be able to accuse us of dishonesty. But we shall know. Down in our hearts we will have the unpleasant consciousness that we didn't play the game honorably and “on the level.” To the fine-fibered man or woman, victory without honor means defeat. It's all very well for a cynical world to point to successful men who achieve fame and fortune without paying too much attention to the ethi- cafyv-lue of things. ! None of us knows exactly how un- happy a man is when he has to face his own inner conviction of dishon- esty. But even without going as far as dishonesty there is another thing to face—the consciousness of not be- ing a “good sport.” here are all sorts of situations in the summer in which people find themselves tempted to play the game, Pieces of underdone roast or boiled meat may be baked in casserole and flavored in various ways with vegeta- bles; this makes an inexpensive and tasty dish. Clean and. scrape three carrots, two small parsnips, two turnips, two pota- toes and two onions and one stick of celery. Cut them into slices and put them into a saucepan of cold salted | water, bring to a boil quickly and then strain off on a sieve. Take Playing the Game merely to win. A desire for victory 18 not “sporting.” Neither victory nor defeat must mean too much to the real sportsman. The point is— playing the game. There lies the instinct of a real sportsman. He plays the game. He doesn’t resort to artifices, to little tricks, to schemes to achieve the victory at any cost. He plays with respect for his own manhood and courteous deference for his oppo- nent. . The rules of any sport are based on couttesy and consideration for one’s opponent. You don't win a swimming race by dealing your op- ponent a kick under water and so putting him out of the running. You don’t win any race that way. Neither sports nor life are played out on a basis of trickery or dishonor by any one who is decent and fine. Besides all that, a cheater misses most of the fun—the joy of honest striving—the glow of victory gained fairly and squarely. The game must be played accord- ing to rule—but still more superbly than that by anyone who wants real Elenure from playing it. It is almost etter to give your opponent a vic- tory than to snatch it from him by a contemptible little underhand trick. Play your games fairly and square- ly this summer. See how much more fun you get out of them that way. And then try playing your whole ed Beef with Vegetables By CONSTANCE CLARKE. game of life that way. sip : Woman’s Work : Household Topics # Final Outlook for Paralysis Victims By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D. Widely as they are separated in time of life, there is a curious resem- blance in some respects between in- fantile paralysis and the common aralysis, or “stroke,” of second child- 0od. Both are due to blocking or rup- ture of the blood vessels supplying a limited area, or center, in the neg- vous system. Both come on suddenly —'old" paralysis within a few min- utes or hours, “young” paralysis with- in two or three hours, ten or twelve at the outside. Both recover very slowly, and for the same reason that large “chtinks” of the nerve centers have been starved to death by the cutting off of their food suppl through the blood vessels, and it a long and toilsome process to eith regrow them from such rootlets ai fragments as are left or else educaté® other centers to take their place. In both it is very difficult to prophesy the result in any particular case, for it is extremely uncertain—both ways from the center, so to speak. 8 Quite mild cases will sometimes make little or no improvement, while badly disabled ones will often make a really surprising recovery. On the whole, however, consider- ing the sudden and striking nature of the paralysis and the seriousness of the damage done to the spinal cord, infantile paralysis falls far short of living up to the terror which its at- tack inspires. Actually, it is not half as dangerous a. disease as measles or whooping cough, but the dramatic character and strangeness of the cripplings which\ it produces and the long years afterward which its little victims live to exhibit them make a powerful impression upon our ima- gination. \ Statements of percentages of risk are rather cold consolation in one way, for even though they be ten to one in favor of recovery or escape, you can never be sure whether your child or your family may not fall in the unlucky tenth. Still, when the risks fall below one in the thousand, we feel justified in contemplating them with a certain degree of equan- imity, but when they drop below one in ten thousand, such as hydruphobu, or being struck by lightning, or be- in bitten by a shark, we prétty nearly dimiss them from cur minds, except upon rare occasions of temporary panic. 2 So far as the whole community is concerned, infantile paralysis, in spite of the piteous suffering which it in- flicts, and our well-nigh utter help- lessness to control it, actually falls below the one in a thousand risk; for, as Dr. Emerson has pointed out, out of New York’s 1,600,000 children, only 3 have so far developed the disease, or onmly one in 600, and less than 400, or about one in 5,000 have died of it within a month, while measles causes nearly four times as many deaths in New York every win- ter without attracting any attention at all. Of course, the epidemic is not over yet, but as the most expensive one anywhere on record, our own of 1907 reached only 2,500 cases, with less than 200 deaths, and outside of that, fifty to 100 cases have always been regarded as a large epidemic, 1t would be against all probabilities if this resent outbreak should pass the ,000 mark; which would mean only one death in every 2,000 children. But what of the more numerous and, in the long run, almost serious results of the disease other than the immediate fatality? So far as a de- finite statement of probability can be made about a disease so uncertain and uncalculable in its results, this would be the rough probable out- come: About one-fourth of all cases which recover will be practically cured; sbout one-half wilf have permanent ‘aming in onme or more limbs or joints, but intelligent re-education of the muscles, and training for special Jccupations, _ be practically able- bodied and 80 to 90 per cent effi- cient, while one-fourth will probably be more or less seriously crippled for life, g Broadly considered, from 720 to 85 per cent of the little victims will be able to luflaort themselves and carry on their life duties without ser- ious E;actical hindrance. The reason for this rather high recovery rate of practical efficiency and able-bodied- ness is that the paralysis, though ex- tremely irregular, is nearly always one-sided, in the sense of seldom in- volving both legs or both arms. Or if it does, one limb of the pair is very much less seriously affected than the other. So that while one leg, for instance, may be quite seriously dam- aged, the other will be almost en- tirely sound, and by putting a brace on the weakened limb, or even, in extreme cases, fixing and stiffening the knee joint by a surgical operation, s0 as to make a sort of natural wooden leg, the patient may be able to walk quite fairly well, or even briskly, with the aid of a cane.
