he won't shake his blinking Pausing By An Australian The early morning sun blazed down on the big Queensland teamster a8 he searched for one of his lost working bullocks through the dense scrub fringing the Stanley River. "Cunning old beggar," he mutter- ed to himself. "He's standing quiet- ly somewhere in the shade, so that bell." in his quest to fill his ips, the silence of the bush was broken on his left by a rustling, swishing sound coming from near the river bank. Quietly walking in the direction of the disturbance, he came sudden- ly on a small open space--an ap- propriate arena for surely one of the strangest battles ever staged for an open audlence of one. Gently as the teamster had stop- ped, the brushwood underfoot had crunched with a certain amount of noise; but now he stopped suddenly in his tracks behind the cover of a big tree-itrunk, and from its shelter witnessed the sight of a lifetime, al- though as a returned soldier, he had seen many wonders, The centre of the clearing was held by a six-foot black snake, his opponent being that tiny animal the bandicoot, and if the combatants had heard his approach, they were far too much occupiec in their own af- #airs to heed anything 'else. A onesided affray, everyone will fsay, but, incredible as it may appear, the little marsupial was holding his own, striking at its sinuous advers- ary with beth fore and hind paws, and baffling the snake's advance by the most persistent defense. The latter was not idle, as again he stuck his poisoned fangs into the bandi- coot's body, invariably aiming for the armpits. But no sooner was a wound received than the little animal bounded to the side of the clearing, and rapidly bit into a bunch of long *"blady" grass, which it" as quickly chewed, then rushed back to renew the fight. | During these briet intervals (which inthe language of the prize, ring wculd be styled "time") the snake, evidently tired from the de- termined resistance of his dauntless little enemy, lay still on the battle- field, waiting for his opponert to resume hostilities. 'astonished onlooker watched *"blady" grass and devour hurried mouthfuls, and always, thus fortified, it would renew the fight with un- abated vigor. But the tiny creature, although game to the last, was, after ever round, becoming perceptibly weaker, not from the poison, because unquestionably the "blady" grass was the antidote; but from sheer ex- haustion, "This is where I come in," said the fteamster to himself, and picking up the nearest stick, he rushed straight for the snake and settled him. The bandicoot meanwhile ambled rather than ran back info the scrub, followed quietly by the man, who had already made a shrewd guess es to the reason of the small ani mal's wonderful fight. Yes, a few feet in from the edge of the scrub, lying peacefully and safely on a soft bed of leaves, was the wee, pinky baby "joey." "Well, I'll be blowed if I didn't think it," sald the teamster, aloud, and added. "She fought to save her youngster! Hats off to the little mother!"--Animal Life. The Truth Farmer Guff hailed Farmer Fogg in the country lane. "1 say, Garge," he sald, "can ye spare a moment?" "Yes," returned the other impati- ently. "But yon must hurry up and say what ye've got to say." "] want to ask ye what ye gave your cow the other day when she were 111?" asked Guff. "A quart of turpentine," replied Garge. "But----" "That be all right," interrupted Guff. "I won't trouble ye any fur- ther." il The two parted company. But the following day they met again in the market town. "Why, Garge," said Guff, "that were bad advice ye gave me yesterday." "Oh!" exclaimed Garge. "What happened?" "The cow died,' explained Guff. "I'm not surprised," returned the other.

This principle of "dog eat dog," which has been long employed in both the animal and vegetable world to get rid of injurious parasites by "sicking" enemy para- sites on them, may now be employed against the germs of disease. The "bacteriophage," or germ-eater, that destroys the germ of dysentery has been known for some time, and now we have another that annihilates the germ responsible for boils and abs- cesses, To quote a recent press bul- letin from a wellknown New York laboratory: "Dr. John F.

SCT Ahi CASTORIA the blological and research labora: tories of E. R. Equibb & Sons, and for many years in the U.S. Public Health Service, now announces that after more than a year or research and in- vestigation, the particular parasitic enemy for boils, carbuncles, and abs- cesses has been found, and this mod- ern method of treating them has been perfected. Dr. Anderson says: "The 'phage' that has attracted most attention in this country is the Staphylococcus bacteriophage. Staphy- lococcus is the organism that is re- sponsible for almost all varieties of boils, carbuncles, and abscesses. The new bacteriophage is a parasite of the Staphyloccus, which grows in or on the bacteria and finally destroys them. "ft a drop of the 'phage' is added to a culture of Straphyloccus, the bac- teria are killed and dissolved, and the culture becomes sterile. If a drop of this dissolved culture is added to the fresh Staphylococcus culture, the same thing takes place. Ths process can be carried on indefinitely. In other words, the bacteriophage repro- duces itself in causing the destruc- tion of the bacteria on which it grows. The dissolved culture contains bac- teriophage in a concentration so great th..t one-billionth of a cubic centimeter will cause destruction of a culture'. 1,000 Fight London Fire London.--A ttousand London fire- men fought for hours recently against « spectacular waterfront fire in the | Leart of the city's "danger zone" near the famous Tower Bridge across the; Thames.
