His 'Moonshine' was Science ALHAMBRA
INDIAN WHO FELT "Kingsford
THE HEART
Smith" SOS
BEATING IN TREES Bottle
By Guy Ramsey
Sir Jagadis Chandra Bose, the Indian who reduced to scientific proof the mystical Buddhist doctrine that all life man and beast, the flat-iron and the rose-is one, died last month at Giridih, India, seven days before his 79th birthday.
He was nationally and scientifically a pioneer.
He was the first modern man of his race to be acclaimed as a scientist of the first rank.
The theories he advanced were so radical that for a quarter of a century he was scorned as a charlatan by the othodox scientists of the day.
Even when conservative, slow-moving Britain had at last accepted him, accorded him a Fellowship of the Royal Society and a knighthood, a leading American newspaper raised the cry that the honours had been conferred for political reasons-to pacify India; and that his theories were pure moonshine.
THE PRIMARY TRUTH
For the last ten years of his life he was honoured whenever two or three! of that brotherhood of selfless-men! who seek only for truth were gather- ed together.
The primary truth about Hose. that he was a poel.
He was a poet, with a poet's face;:
a poet's sensitive lands and spirit: à phet's vision and intuition.
When he saw a tree he felt that within that immobile shaft of timber there beat a heart.
He felt, when he saw a flower, that it would respond to drugs. He felt. when he saw a bar of metal, that it could grow weary of supporting, its far.
But side by side with the visionary weds the practical man--the man who made his dreams come true. He setsheti not only to believe, but to kuow.

Dr. Broadhurst stains the secretions from the nose of a measles sufferer with nigrosin, a dye that pathologists use in studying the nervous system. This, she says, reveals the presence of the virus in the first stages of the disease.
The discovery will be valuable if it allows doctors to isolate and treat children within nine days of their contact with a sufferer.

Epidemics of measles occur every iwo yearn, and one is duc this winter. Every year about 3,000 children die from mensies, more than any other disease.
If serum from the blood of con- valescent patients could be given to then in time, very few would die. So far it has been given only to those who are known to have been in contact with a sufferer.
