Germs Killed Him

For twenty years Dr. Ronald George Canti, of Harley- street and The Gables, Wedderburn-road, Hampstead, devoted his life to the study of the world's most baffling diseases. Now comes news that he had died, aged fifty- two, a victim of his own researches.

The "Canti method" of cinema- ! micro-photography, born of a home-made apparatus in the basement of his Hampstead home, is now standardised and practised in every country in the world.

In the Inboratory which Dr. Canti built himself at Hampstead he designed a cinema camera which would tako microscopic pictures of the growth of living tissue at intervals of, say, sixty seconds and automatically" "wind on the film for the next exposure.

'Answering The Bell'

For six years he worked on a film of the growth of cancer cells. His home-made apparatus was not always reliable, so he fitted an alarm bell which rang whenever it failed to act.

For years he and Mrs, Canti, his young fair-haired wife, took it in turns day and night fo "answer the bell" by adjusting the camera.

Dr. Canti refused to make a penny from his Inventions,

He was appointed lecturer in clinical pathology at St. Bartho- lomew's Hospital and honorary scientific secretary of the British Empire Cancer Research Cam maign,

In 1931 he contracted fever while experimenting with CANCA of that disease. He was aeriously ill for six months.

'No Thought Of Self' Last July, when Dr. Canti was engaged on films of the psittacosis germ"parrots' disense he fell ill again, and another germ attack- Ing his already wenkened systemį caused his death.

"There is no doubt that Dr. Canti had been overworking a great deal before his illness,” said | Dr. Malcolm Donaldson, a Harley- street friend and associate. "Hej was a scientific genius, without a thought of self."

Dr. Canti leaves a widow, and four children.

LORD OF 10,000 ISLES TO VISIT BRITAIN

THE Sultan of the Maldives-

the Lord of Ten Thousand Islands-is going to London.

He will leave his remote king- dom, the Maldive Islands, that lie in the Indian Ocean, this week.

He is fantastically rich, The Sultan'a ancestors fought Mahratta pirates for mastery of the sca, and seized their loot, which is, now stored in deep pits with open mouths. No robber dare enter, for a dozen live cobras are kept, accord- ing to royal Eastern custom, s the silent guardians of the King's) gold..

·

The Sultan has only been on the throne since 1934, having succeeded his cousin, Shams-ud-Din, who was deposed.

He is forty, tall, slim, and hand- some. He has many wives, all of whom have dowries of pearls,

The Sultan's chief meal is made of turtle, both in soup and stewed with crabs. Turtles form the chief export of his kingdom. He is bringing his menu with him.

In Male, his capital, he eats jalone in his palace, built on wooden

piles.

The Sultan is quite accustomed to British ways. He is under pro- tection and entertains ships of the Royal Navy several times a year.

“ATROCITIES

IN BRITAIN

ROME GOES BACK TO JUDGE JEFFREYS

Rome, Jan. 20. Atrocity charges are levelled against Britain to-day in two of the most virulent attacks that have appeared, in the Fascist Press.

The Bloody Assize of Judgo Jeffreys In IG85.

The supposed selling of women and girls to William Fenn by the Queen of England to populate Pennsylvania at the end of the 17th century,

The story of the decapitation of the body of Emperor Theodore of Abyssinia in the Magdala campaign of 1868,

Alleged beheading of the Zulu Chief, Bambata, in 1900.

Acrlal bombing in the Northern Provinces of India.

Lavoro Faciata and Tevere pub llah strikingly similar attacks, The former describes the supposed sell- ing of women and girls to William Penn as "the most recent form of slavery recorded in Europe," and adds that it "may In some way ex- plain Britain's sympathy and soll- darity. with slave-owning Abys Binfa."

Tevere devotes half its front page to n cartoon depicting an Abyssinian executioner showing his knife, dripping with blood, to John Bull The latter's comment Is: "I prefer strangulation-it does not leave any marks."

Roosevelt Criticised

The Italian Press commented upon Friday's speech by Mr. Roose velt to Congress for the first time to-day. Signor Gayda, in the Giornale d'Italia,-objects-to-the President's "sharp' and incautious words about the so-called autocracy regime" and his "primitive cen- fusion between the pretended autocracy of Fascism and the will to. threaten peace."

It was stated to-night that the Italian Government would adopt a "wait and ace" attitude towards the Neutrality Bill now before Con- gress. Authoritative spokesmen must, therefore, refrain from com- ment for the present.

CLEAN-UP IN CHINA

ERADICATION OF PROSTITUTION

Shanghai, Jan. 26. China's members of the world's oldest profession, after coming under the scrutiny of a League of Nations inquiry, will soon find themselves sewing a fine seam or wielding an artist's paint brush, | if the plans of the Ministry of the Interior are carried to comple- tion.

Although prostitution was order- ed abolished in China na carly as June 6, 1928, the Government mandate had to be carried out by gradual, stages because of social and economic reasons. Central Government and local authoritica are now cooperating closely to effect prostitution's complete. eradication;

In reply to a League of Nations inquiry, the Ministry of the In- terior reported that local adminia- trations had been ordered to con- duet an investigation of slaver and prostitutes in China and to persunde those who had entered the life voluntarily to change to "decent professions", while those who had been sold or pledged into slavery or prostitution were to be rescued through legal processes..
