MIGHTY EVENTS TURN ON A STRAW Wt lometimcs wonder whether It i* chance, fate or Providence rules men's lives, Robert Koch graduated from a medical ju-hoo! in Germany in 1866, and waa about to realize the' dream of hla life to be both an explorer and a military surgeon by an ap¬pointment as a ship's surgeon on a vMtfl that was circumnavigat¬ing the globe. But one day he me'. Emmy Fratz whom he begged to marry him. tfhe said she would OB one condition only—that he forget this nonsense about an ad- , venturous life, and settle down M a practicing doctor and a good German citizen. He settled down. Then a few years later, his good wife observing his restless- new, made him a present of a nic microscope, something to play with—isomething to amuse him. Tt amused him to that ex¬tent that In a very short time he 'orcn* that he was wedded to his wife- -he waa wedded to his micro¬scope. To be with it he forgot his meals he forgot his bed, he for- cot his practice—he forgot every¬thing except the marvelous things revealed by his microscope. It is an altogether good thing for the world that he did. for through his obaervatlons, study, knowledge, he helped very materially to save millions of Uvea from the ravages of the terrible diseases that in all former ages stalked through the land. He it was who isolated the ba¬cilli of anthrax and proved con¬clusively how the disease could b combatted. Seven years before Pasteur had predicted: "It is within the power of man to make parsitic maladies disappear from the earth." And it was the knowl¬edge given the world by Robert Koch that marked the first step toward the fulfillment of Pasteur's seemingly insane vision." It was Koch too who discovered the "common bacillus" of the dreaded cholera and showed the world how to fight this disease. It was Robert Koch also who ,?ave the world most of the knowledge that it has concerning tuberculosis bacilli of consump¬tion though neither he nor any scientist since has yet found an antidote for this parasite. Koch is known among scientists as the "Death Fighter" and must be known to all as one of the world's great benefactors.

BIZARRE EXPERIMENT The path of Louis Pasteur was not strewn with roses. It was rather beset with thorns. People refused to believe or trust him and spared no pains to make him uncomfortable. His claim that his vaccine would render cattle im¬mune from anthrox was ridiculed, and it Avas the spirit of protest and ridicule that led him to make the most bizarre experiment ever recorded by science. One of his avowed enemies—one Rossegnol, a veterinarian proposed Defore the agricultural society in France in 1881 that Pasteur be required to make a public- test to prove that he has a vaccine that , will protect sheep and cows from ! anthrox. "If he fails" said Rossignol (and he was sure that he would fail) "he will have to stop his eternal babbling about great discoveries that save sheep and worms and babies and hippopotamuses." At once .the society raised money to buy 48 sheep, two goats anil several cows, half of which Pastuer was to publicly inoculate with, his vaccine, and then the entire lot wit h . anthrox. The vaccine was du'jf injected at twelve day inter¬vals during the month of May and then came the crucial day May 31, on which all bf the animals re¬ceive dthe surely fatal dose, of vir¬ulent anthrox bugs. Then'follow¬ed three painfully long exciting days. No one can imagine the awful suspense of those three days to Louis Pasteur! For him there was no sleep? no rest. His cliier consolation came from Madame Pasteur who kept repeating "Everything will come out all right." As everyone knows everything did come out all right for on that |
