BACTERIOLOGY AND WAR.

PROPAGATION OF DISEASE,

The following is na interesting 'extruct from the report of the Temporary Mixed": Commission of the League of Nations for. the Reduction of. Armaments:—

In contradistinction to the chemical arin, the "bacteriologicul" arm has not been employed in war. Apart from all humanitarian considerations, the reaSIMIS for this may be found in the contem- plation of the effects it might produca were it ever resorted to, as set forth in- the statement drawn up for us by, Profs. Pfeiffer. Bordet, Madsen, and Cannon. This statement does not, however, cóu- stitute the final word on the subject; for.. although the conclusions drawn may be comparatively reassuring for the present, they nevertheless direct attention to the possibilities which the development of

· bacteriological sciency may oữer in the future, and consequently, to the import- ance of pot allowing ourselves to be

Never before was there anything like it, nor are its marvellous properties likely ever to be equalled in diseases arising from impure blood. It searches out and erpels from the vital current every lurking trace of poisonous matter, curing blood and skin diseases, scrofulons and glandular swellings, bad legs, abscessen, alcers, eczema, gout, rheuma tim, goitre or Derbyshire Neck, ate.

priori, the effects of the bacteriological arm can neither be measured nor local- ised; they would reach the civilian popu- lation, would cross frontiers, and might reappear or continue even after the cessation of hostilities." It may be said. that this arm would be nimed indirectly against all mankind..

Professors Pfeiffer. Bordet, and Mad sen, however, are of opinion that such warfare would have little effect our the actual issue of a contest in view of the protective methods which are available for circumscribing its effects. The pollu tion, of drinking water by cultures of, typhus or cholera germs would be com bated by filtering, as already practised in large centres, or by treating the waterm of ers with chlorine.

rivers

The enemy would

have to contaminate, by means of air- craft, the altered water of the reservoirs directly: this would be a difficult operat tion, and its effects could be frustrated by preventive vaccination The propa- gation of plague by pest-infested rats would be as dangerous for the nation em ploying this method as for its adversary. as rats pass freely between the lines of hoth armies. Exrience has shown, moreover, that it is possible speedily to check an outbreak of plague. Morenver. the danger of an epidemic of typhus pro- pagated by lice has greatly diminished.

arena

As regards the poisoning of weapons.. the experts point out that the germs which could be employed (streptococci ur staphylococci, authrax spores, glanders bacilli, &c.) would not preserve their danger properties if they were prepared. a long time beforehand. allowed to dry on metallic surfaces,

Nor if placed 137. projectile would these gerins better resist the shook of discharge, the rise of temperature, and the violence of an ex- plosion which destroys all life. The only method presenting a certain danger would be that of dropping from aeroplanes glass globes filled with germs. Finally, the majority of the 'experts are opinion. that bacteriology cannot at present pro- duce infective substances stroying a country ever, does not ry's capable of rie- stock and crops.. Professor Cannon, entirely concur in this latter opinion. since he admits the possibility of nero- planes disseminating over wide parasites capable of ravaging the crops. In short, the scientists whom we have consulted are of opinion that our present knowledge of hygiene and microbiology would limit the extension of any epidemics which might be spread either among com- batants or the civil population. and that such epidemies could not have any de- cisive influence on the issue of hostilities, although the

experts do not consider the bacteriological arm as at present capable of paralysing an enemy's defence. But, while they do not regard this double- edged wenpon as particularly formidable at the present moment, other opinions are also current which would justify n in keeping carefully in touch with the progress of bacteriology. Professor Bor- det refers to the discovery in the court of the German Legation in Bucharest of cultures of glands with requisite in- structions for contaminating the Rou- manian cavalry.

INDIAN CHIEF IN ITALY, BANK-NOTES BROADCASTED.

The Indian chieftain Elk Ferman, who is noted for his eccentricity and gener- osity in America, has been for some time travelling in Italy, where he is attracting the attention of the Press. On his land- ing in Brindisi ho excited wonder by giving a tip of 200 lire to a native hoy who landed him from a boat, In Naples be amused all the urchins of the Chiaia, who performed all sorts of extraoralinnry capery and somersaults in bis presence, by flinging 100-lire notes among them, causing the wildest scrambles. The Red- skin chieftain has now turned up in Flor ence, and gave a sumptuous dinner in the principal hotel to numerous guests and Casual acquaintances, and indulged in munificence that seemed to challenge the memory of Cosmo di Medici himself. He visited with the greatest interest histori cal monuments and admired artistic treasures during the day, and after leav ing the Palazzo Pitti, as he crossed the bridges of the Arno, he distributed oncos more 100 lire bank-notes among the pass- era-by. In a speech after dinnerhe drank to the health of Signor Mussolini, "the great Italian chieftain.

A FAMILY PROBLEM.

A perplexed man writes to a Tientien paper as follows:-

Last year I asked my best girl to become my wife and she said no. But I got even with the girl. I married her mother. Then my father married the girl. Now I don't know what I am When I married the girl's mother the girl became my daughter, and when my father married my daughter, she was my mother. Who, by heck, am I? My mother's mother (which is my wife) must be my grandmother, and I being my grandmother's husband, must be my own grandfather, but of this I seek con- firmation."

The Day of the Knight is Here !

IT IS THE

WILLYS KNIGHT

Simplest and most trouble-free type of motor ever invented.

It has the most distnctive and gracefully balanced body of any car

in the market.

The Willys-Knight car is the four cylinder motored ear that makes the six

unnecessary.

The Knight motor is steam principle. The valve two cylindrical sleeves with rectangular sleta or porta which when they register with each other and the porta in the block allow the ingress and egress of the gasse without obstruction. These wide open passages, particularly on the exhaust side, permit a more thorough cleaning of the burnt gases from the combustion chamber than any other type of mator, so that every ounce of energy available in utilized from the explosive mixture, which gives us such tremendous power

2-It has no valve to grind and no carbon to clean.

The combustion chamber is completely surrounded by water and an alloy piston noted for its great how! radiating qualities is used so neither the combustion chamber nor the head of the pisten geta hot enough to bake the residue from the posed gasen to form carbon while there is still enough heat maintained to handle the explosire mixture effectively,

-It is the only type of motor that improves with use.

While carbon can not form in the combustion chamber, still a certain amount of the residus from the barnk gases works up behind the wide sealing ring in the cylinder head and, so this building in process obtains, it kampa pashing this scaling ring more tightly against the inner sleeve until it completely seals the compression chamber- developing more power with every mile the motor is drawn,

It is the only type of motor that wears in while other wears out.

All parts in the Willys-Knight car are assembled with wide clearance between each other and wil is forced into these clearances under heavy pressure so that the entire assembly is lapping or wearing in on these heavy fims of eil instead of wearing out. In other words, every bearing in this motor is an oil bearing instead of a metal to metal bearing which is necessary in the constraction of a poppet valve motor in order to keep if quist with subsequent quiak woar and noise.

It has eliminated one hundred and sirty two quick wearing parts necessary in the operation of a sylindered poppet valve motor. There are no hammering parts such as cams riking aghiat push rods, pash rods against valve stems, or valve heads snapping back into their seats through the medium of heavy springs, etc.
