...vase (still priced at 300 lire) would cost $57.90. No vases would then be bought by foreigners, and the laborer would be thrown out of work. Obviously, as the value of the lira increases, the price of the vase in lire will be lowered, but this type of readjustment always lags behind the rapid shift in international exchange, and therefore causes unemployment and suffering...
...work, beyond cavil, was more original than Architect McKim's. The latter, a conservative gentleman of the highest type, was in his decoration a trifle too simple, austere, for many people's taste; his design too was severely academical. But everyone agreed that Charles McKim was exactly the man the firm needed to balance the exciting gifts of Stanford White.

He has ended by hypothesizing an even lower form, the protobe, which is neither animal nor vegetable,-simply something living. One type of protobe, the bacteriophage, he has made his peculiar study. He has found that it is the scourge to bacteria, which in turn cause disease in man. Just as almost every disease has some causative species or strain of bacteria, just so every kind of bacteria has a bacteriophage which...
