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 "ATROCITIES"

basement of his Hampstead home, is now standardised and practised in every country, in the world.

In the laboratory which Dr. Canti built himself at Hampstead, he designed. A cinema enmerk which would take microscople |pletures of the growth of living. issue ut 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 rellable, so he fitted an alarm bell which rang whenever it failed to act.

For years he and Mrs. Cant!, his young fale-haired wife, took it in turns day and night to "answer the bell by adjusting the camera.

Dr. Cant! 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- paign.

In 1931 he contracted Malta fever while experimenting with cases of that disease. He was seriously ill for six months.

'No Thought Of Self'

Last July, when Dr. Canti, was engaged on films of the psittacosi, Kerm-"parrots' „disease" he fell ill again, and another germ attack- Ing his nlready weakened system.

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. "Hie 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.

بم

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

Ile is fantastically rich.

The Sultan's ancestors fought Mahratta pirates for mastery of the sen, and agized their loot, which is now stored deep pits with open mouths. No robber dare enter, for a dozen live cobras are kept, accord. ing to royal Eastern custom, as the silent guardians of the King's Hold.

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

He is forty, tall, slin, and hand- some. He has many wives, all of whom have dowrles 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 ja bringing his menu with him.

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

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

It was sent to the Sydney soli- citor for the sailing syndicate, and when he had called at his office reached him on New Year's Day for his golf clubs.

The million pound offer was part cash and part shares. The solicitor telephoned to members of the syndicate, who motored from holiday resorts for a "celebration."

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 as early as June 6, 1928, the Government mandate had to be carried out by gradual stages because of social and economic гелкова. Central Government and locni authorities 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 adminis- trations had been ordered to con- duct an investigation of slaves

and prostitutes in China and to persuade those who had entered the life voluntarily to change to "decent professions", while those who had been sold or pledged into

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