'l'llIC I.lIll RTY IlEI.I. A Gllimuirzzl ?xperiment By BI..-XNCHE I. .Il'I'ITT, '15 Did you ever hear about my queer experiment? Well, then l'll tell you about it. As you know, I am a country doctor but I always try to keep up to date. I was very much interested in the study of mi- crobes for it is this tiny germ that causes disease and if we can find some way to get rid of the germ we have a cure for the disease. I had a tiny room built in my back yard where I carried on my work of ex- perimenting. I had several bottles, each crntaining some kind of microhe. One was labled, Germs of Yellow Fever. Germs of Tuberculosis, and Bacteria of Small Pox. My wife thought it was awful to have such things about and said, Why, John, I wouldn't go in your old bug hospital for anything. You never know what kind of a bug is liable to get hold of you. I carried on my experiments in private and cne day, by mistake, I found that the application of radium through certain chemical ingredients would cause a mi- crobe to increase in size. I was alarmed at first because I thought that a larger micrcbe could do so much more damage than a smaller one but I decided to get a harmless germ and increase it in size, then try to find something to exterminate the az'-rm all together. I I at last decided a harmless germ of influenza would be the thing and at the end of a month I had a germ walking around my room about the size of a small dug. In fact it resembled a dog in its size. shape and eyes. I named him Mike and we soon became very fond of each other but every time he came near me I would have a fit of sneezing just as if I were coming down with a had cold. No one knew about my secret until my niece came to visit us. One day she had a party under the trees in the back yard and we were all enjoying ourselves when I was called away. In my hurry I forgot to lock the door to the labora- tory. Soon after my departure the young folks were walking around the yard when they came to my room. Nancy, my niece, said, This is Uncle John's room. He has all kinds of queer things but he always has it locked, She tried the door and as it wasn't locked. the young folks went in. Mike spied them instantly and came running to them. They thought him very cute but as soon as he came near to them, they all started sneezing, and wiping tears from their faces until at last all had to go to their homes. Mike followed them. When I returned home my wife told me about the time Nancy and her friends had had but I was very innocent. I
