"byes and Worms.
, In order to dctcnnlno the action of,
dyes when tnken Into tho system, N. A.
Cobb of tlio United States department
of agriculture, selected for experiments
the tiny worms called nematodes. It Is
well known Hint certain of tho nnlllno
dyes liuvo peculiar nfllnltles for cer
tain sorts of living cells, observes a
chemist, so Mr. Cobb tried various
dyes on these worms nnd watched their
action under a microscope. IIo found
that dllTcrcnt organs received different
dyes, so that ho was ablo to tint the
Internal apparatus of tho nematodes
In several colors and thus watch them
clearly under his microscope. And ho
discovered somo'straiiRo facts, not the
least of which Is that tho dyestuffs un
dergo a chemical action In the crea
ture's body to such an extent that you
can never tell what color your dyo will
produce until you liavo tried It. An
other fact of great Importance is that
ho has found that different granules
of tho same cell absorb different dyes
and manifestly perform different roles.
Expect New Comet.x
A spectacle la the sidereal heavens
of surpassing brilliancy may be ex
pected tlio coming spring if tho pre
dictions of eometni-y observers nrn
I verified. Not since tho great comet of
iSoS, which aroused a vast deal of In
terest, has an appearance In the sky
equaled what Is confidently expected
for 1018. Tho return Oof llalley's
comet In 1010, which had nnxlously
beon awaited, did not come up to what
had been predicted and expected, and
since 3SS2 there has not been any
especially brilliant comet seen. Tho
newcomer is described as a gigantic
comet, outclassing hi slzu and brillian
cy all those seen In modern times. It
will be a thing of glory In tho north
western sky throughout the spring, as
tronomers say, probably remaining vis
ible for three months, being at. Its
brightest In June. It Is now (speeding
toward tho sun at an approximate
rate of l.HM.lMt miles a day.
Americano Train In Italv.
Near a small town In Italy a handful
of Americans are training for avia
tion service.
The Glornalo d'ltalla says they al
ready have acquired u practical knowl
edge of piloting and that they have
given proof of their perfect dlscipllno
and seriousness of purpose. Their In
structors linvo expressed tho greatest
satisfaction with their work.
Tho Inhabitants of tho town camo
out in crowds on their arrival to wel
come tlio allies who had crossed the
ocean from the country to which so
many Italians had emigrated. They
displayed the greatest curiosity In
watching tho Americans in their
leisure hours playing tennis and base
ball, which aro unknown In that' part
of Italy.

Lutheran Church Notes
DAKOTA C1TY-SALEM
Rev. C. R. Lowe.
How joyous is the Christmas sea
son! The advent of Christ .has be
come the festival of Christendom.
It heralded and brought portentous
things. It was exceedingly virile.
It was a momentous occurrence. A
very ordinary event so far as man
could see, yet bearing the fate of the
world. It has given tho powers
which rule the world in spite of the
evils that exist in the nations. It
ushered into the world an irresisti
ble conquering force which has be
come the leading influence tho it has
never wielded the sword in its prop
aganda, and tho it has many times
been severely pressed. In the his
tory of the world there has never
beon anything so strongly attacked !
by enemies nor so bravely defended
by its foes as the work that w.a3
ushered in by the advent of Christ.
To those who have received Him
there has been a great joy, and there
has been much to them who have
not because of the influences that
have been radiated from the work-'
ing body of the world. The bles
sings of our civilization are tracea
ble thereto.
It is a great gift God gave to the
world in his Son. His life is a work
ing force in the world today. It
works through men and so reaches
mankind in a tangible way. Out of
God's giving has grown our own cus
tom of giving one to another and
this is a joyful thing indeed when it
is done with the right spirit.
ihisyearwe are called to give
largely to world causes and we find
pleasure in that. This is a true test
of our giving spirit. There can be
no reciprocal action, no receiving
by us. The spirit of joy is contagi
ous and so is the joy of it.
The Christmas program at Em
manuel was well rendered and well
attended. There was pleasure in
the giving it and pleasure in the
hearing it.
The cantata at Salem was well
received by a full house. It was
well done by our young folks and
we had a good time in getting it
ready. The nights of practice will
be-missed by us all from now on.
They were nights well spent by us
and some good was done in a
musical way, beside the matter of
worship and the labor to that end.
The offering at Salem, was $17
and at Emmanuel $5.57. We all re
joice together.
