WARRIORS OF THE BLOOD.
1 , -•
How Whit* Corpuacleo Attack tha In
vading Army of Germa.
If you wish to see with your own
eyes just how a white corpuscle
(leucocyte) behaves when attacking
the germ of some disease that has
invaded the blood you can do it in a
simple and entertaining way. The
white corpuscles behave just like
the amoeba that may be found in
water, and it is easy to manufacture
an artificial amoeba.
Sir William Whitla, professor of
materia medica and therapeutics at
Queen’s university, Belfast, and
senior physician at the Royal Vic
toria hospital, in an address before
the Medical society of London de
scribed the experiment as follows:
“By placing a single drop of oil
of cloves in a small dish partially
filled with a mixture of alcohol and
glycerin the little bladder of oil
floating on the surface will be found
in structural and other peculiarities
to conform to the type of an amoe
ba, and I have been able to form
even vacuolated artificial amoebas
by pouring chloroform into Etrong
perchloride of iron solution.
“The clove oil amoeba may be
made to perform all the puzzling
antics of a living leucocyte by gent
ly .injecting into the liquid in its
immediate vicinity substances which
alter the surface tension on one
side of the splierp. In this manner
it can be made to throw out pseudo
podia like a living cell. A chloro
form droplet in water can be re
peatedly fed by various substances
which it’will take into its interior.
“If an insoluble solid, as a particle
of quartz, coal or glass, be coated
over with a thin layer of shellac
and presented to this artificial
amoeba it is speedily swallowed, en
gulfed or surr.onnded, and after it
has digested or dissolved its resinous
envelope the droplet disgorges its
indigestible prey. If the lac be
offered in the form of a drawn out
thin thread of sealing wax it will
be seen to seize it by its middle and
bend it, after which it throws out
pscudopodia to the ends of the
thread so as to pull the thread with
in itself by coiling it up in its in
terior till its solution, or, we may
say, its digestion, is completed.”—
New York World.
The Bee’s Feet.
Naturalists say that the feet of
the common working bee exhibit
the curious combination of a basket,
a brush and a pair of pincers. The
brush, the hairs of which are ar
! ranged in symmetrical rows, is seen
only with a high grade microscope.
With this brush of fairy delicacy
the bee brushes its velvet robe to
remove the pollen dust with which
it becojnes loaded while sucking up
the nectar of (lowers. Another deli
cate apparatus is the spoon shaped
appendage that receives the gleam
i ings that the bee wishes to carry to
i the hive. Finally, by opening the
| brush and the basket by means of a
! neat little hinge, the two become a
| pair of pincers, which render im
i portant service in constructing the
i cells for the reception of the honey.
How He Wrote the Name.
! Had not Sidney l’orter, better
known by his pen name, 0. Henry,
decided on a literary career, he
might have won fame as a cartoon
ist or even as a portrait painter,
having natural talent in that direc
tion. It is related of him that when
he worked for his uncle as a clerk
a very important acting gentleman
came in one day and ordered some
things which were to be charged.
He assumed that the young clerk
knew him, and Porter did not like
to admit the contrary by betraying
that he could not write the custom
er’s name. So instead he made a
list of the articles sold and at the
top jotted a drawing of the gentle
man which enabled the uncle later
to identify the purchaser.
At the Bottom of the Sea.
As to the topography of the sea
bottom there are few sudden de
pressions or elevations, except near
the continents. In general it is a
vast plain covered with a layer
composed chilly of the remains of
minute organic creatures, largely
the rhizopods, which furnish food
to so great 'a part of marine ani
mals. Over this lies a flaky materi
al, once supposed to be a kind of
primordial organism and named by
Huxley bathyblus. It is now known
not to be living matter, but it is
certainly organic and consists of
the partially decomposed remains
of marine creatures.
Treason.
“Grandfather, you still belong to
the Old Settlers’ association, don’t
you ?”
“Yes, but I’m not a -member in
good standing now, Bobby.”
“What’s the reason?”
“I was making a little talk at a
supper we had the other night, and
I happened to say that 1 thought
circuses were a good deal batter
now than they were when I was a
bov.”—Chicago Tribune.
WASTED SUNLIGHT.
8hould W* Start Our Daily Work
Earliar In tha Morning?
If some system of labor could be
devised which recognized the virtue
of a collaterally running system of
leisure, vacations of length would
cease to be a necessity. For our
selves we should like to see our
days arbitrarily divided into three
parts of eight hours' duration
each—let us say, for instance, one
part from G a. m. to 2 p. m. for toil,
a second part from 2 p. m. until
10 p. m. for play and the third part
for sleep or for some equally restor
ative equivalent in rest. As mat
ters are at present we begin our
daily labors too late in the day. The
sun has been shining four or five
hours in the heavens before most
of us even thing of beginning, with
a natural consequence that we
knock off too late in the afternoon
for our own good.
At the end of our labors, with
our powers exhausted, we go to our
homes and perhaps eat a heavy din
ner that in our fatigued condition
we cannot readily digest, and then
the few hours of so called leisure
that we do permit ourselveB are
passed in the hectic atmosphere of
stuffy theaters enduring the dreary
length of even more mephitic
dramas, or in overheated lecture
halls, or in some other four walled
prison house where bad air is pre
sumed to be made fresh by the
whirling of little brass wheels with
broad flanges called electric fans,
the sole effect of which is merely
to give certain germs a joy ride and
to keep others in circulation.
IIow much more sensible would
it be if we availed ourselves of the
glorious sunshine and freshness of
the carjy morning for the daily at
tack upon the hosts of things we
have to do and then at some such
hour as 2 o’clock in the afternoon
bid business care begone, devoting
ourselves for the three or four
remaining hours of daylight to the
profitable pursuit of some kind of
pleasure! Some of us, fond of the
open, could devote these hours to
familiarizing ourselves with the
beauties of our physical environ
ment.
Others of less active inclination
could find relaxation and improve
ment in reading, and, best of all,
others still could use their hours in
a fruit ful effort to get acquainted
with their wives and children. Sure
ly a plan of action which would
enable a father and a mother to get
a little time together, in that true
companionship which is the only
sure basis of a happy marriage and
in turn to get as well upon such
terms of intimacy with their boys
and girls as will give them some
knowledge of their processes of
thought, their little hopes and am
bitions, their aspirations and their
shortcomings, would for this one
thing alone commend itself to all
right minded persons.—John Ken
drick Bangs in Harper's Weekly.

Two Cravings of Women.
Beyond the need for bread, a wo
! man's needs are two. Deeper than
all cravings save the mother's pas
sion, linn rooted in our endless past,
is the hearth hunger. The trees
that sweep my chimney have their
roots at the world’s core! The
flowers in my dooryard have grown
clier.e for a thousand years! What
millenniums have done shall dec
ades undo? We are not so shallow,
so plastic as that! We will go into
the mills, the shops, the otliecs, if
we must, but we are off the track of
life. Neither our desire nor our
power is there.—Cornelia A. P. Co
mer in Atlantic Monthly.
The Owe Sheridans.
Richard Brinsley Butler Sheri
dan, the great Irishman, was all his
life long in dire straits for money,
and when he died in 181G the bail
ilfs were actually in possession of
his house. Sheridan's forbears had
been O’Sheridans.
“Why,” asked on one occasion his
little son—“why have we not the O’
as well as they?”
“Heaven only knows,” was the
father’s reply. “We ought to have
it, for we owe everybody.”
Almost Fatal Shock.
Hostess—1 believe you are a mu
sician, Mr. Brown?
Brown (who is dying to give an
exhibition of his powers)—Well—er
—yes. I think 1 can lay claim to
have a small reputation as a pianist.
Hostess—1 am delighted to hear
it. My daughter is going to play,
and I should be so glad if you would
turn the music for her. — Stray
Stories.
Their 8troke of Fortune.
“What do we want with gold and
precious stones?” said the proud
young mother, gazing fondly upon
the baby. “This is fortune enougli
for ns.” .
“Huh!” grunted the father, who
had been walking the floor nearly
all night. “T’m glad fortune didn’t
knock twice at our door.”—Pear
son’s Weeklv.
