...fascinating realm of bacteriology are "that without microbes life could not exist on this earth, that one microbe can theoretically increase within twenty-four hours to 78,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, that it takes fifteen millions of millions average microbes to weigh an ounce...
...last consideration may be assumed to weigh heavily. Their salaries are $17,500 a .year. The expenses of Colonel Harvey during his time at London have been well over $100,000 in excess of his salary. Mr. Child's expenses have doubtless been somewhat less, but burdensome, nevertheless...
...more than 78 octillions. (There are only 31 trillion seconds in a million years!) These unthinkable populations are held in check, however, by competition, lack of food, poisons, etc. At a moderate estimate, 30 trillions of bacteria are excreted from one human body each day. Yet these 30 trillions weigh, on the average, only two ounces. The biggest known microbe is the bacillus bütschlii (found in the cockroach), which may be 50 microns (one 500th of an inch) in length and about one-tenth as wide. Among the smallest is the bacillus influenzae (0.8x0.3 microns), although...
Time and again on Saturday the Harvard tackle plays were stopped dead at the line due to a lack of anything like a sustained charge on the part of the Crimson forwards, and their extraordinary weigh and size proved only a handicap by blocking rather than opening possible holes among the mass of line men. It is certain that Coach Fisher will devote every possible moment of practice this week toward developing a drive in the line and working for more coordination between the forward and backfield combinations. It is more than likely that not only the second team...
...been definitely ranked, the Red and White crews heading the list, with the Blue crew acting as a boat of substitutes. Coach Shaw is searching high and low for heavy first year material. It is a surprising truth that he has only one man in his first three crews weighing over 175 and one more over 170 pounds,--all the rest weighing 165 pounds or less. In fact, of the 100 inexperienced Freshmen, 70 weigh less than 155 pounds. This situation, however, is not as acute as the facts seem to imply, for the heavier candidates are in all probability...
