VIRUS DISEASES

Tihrough the courtesy of a valued friend. I have come into possession of a paper bv Dr. W.M. Stanley, of the Rockfeller Institute for Medical Research, Princeton, N.J. Its subject is "The Chemical Pro- perties of Viruses." and the list of these agents which cause disease and death amongst animals (in- eluding humans) and plants, is not a short one. Smallbox, nsittacosis, (ie, "parrot fever"), ve‘low fever, Si. Louis encephalitis, gillrmyelitis. horse encephalomyelit , foot-and mouth disease of cattle, "louping ill" of sileep, hog cholera, rabies, dog distemper, fowl pox, certain types of tumorous growths in fcwis and other animals, iauudice of silkworms and various yellows and mosaic diseases of plants. already make up a formidabe list. which is likely however, to be added t0. for there is no mention cf such mlytgters as the flu‘ and the common co

The invention oi.’ the electric mic- roscope, which uses eectrons in- stead of visible light and magnetic fields for lenses, made it possible to see and photograph, this elusive virus. Moreover it has been found (by the same means) that the “crystal" measures 280 mieromllli- metres by about 15 mmm in thick- ness.

Much cf the paper or article is very technical and therefore hard for the layman to understand. but it seems that more has been don! in the way of chemical analysis of the viruses, than in any other dir- ection, This, together with their small size, and the fact that they cannot be successfully cultivated on nutrient media (as bacteria can), appears to have led some scientists to have tentatively pla.c- ed the viruses in the mineral kin!!- dom. and to regard them as "molecules" rather than organisms.

But this opinion will most cer- tainly be revised when more is known of the origin, reproduction. and mutation of the "molecules . I am old enough to remember the scientific disputes that raged round the devoted heads rf the "mic- robes!" Now we have them all label- led and tucked away, and are hunt- ing the smaller frvl

The Canadian Silver Fur Auc- tion Company's sales of silver fox last week captured the attention of fur dealers not only in Canada but throughout all America and even beyond its confines, to South Am- erica. It was an important sale also for Prince Edward Islanders, and not in some years in our ex- perience have we had so many inquiries about it. We were there- fore particularly pleased to have a very clear account of the auc- tion_ from George A. Callbeck, which arrived at 9.00 o'clock Dll Friday evening, a few hours after the auction had closed, and which appeared on The Guardian front page on Saturday. Here are some further details gleaned from Wo- men's Daily Wear, New York, that had a special correspondent on the scene,
