SC15§°R5 AVI. The Microbe’s Serenade BY GEORGE ADE A lovelorn microbe met by chance At a swagger bacteroidal dance A proud bacillian belle, and she Was first of the animalculz. Of organism saccharine, She was the protoplasmic queen. The microscopical pride and pet Of the biological smartest set, And so this infinitesimal swain Evolved a pleading low refrain: “O lovely metamorphic germ, What futile scientific term Can well describe your many charms? Come to these embryonic arms, Then hie away to my cellular home, And be my little diatom!” His epithelium burned with love, He swore by molecules above NvLlv5 <5 She'd be his own gregarious mate, Or else he would disintegrate. This amorous mite of a parasite Pursued the germ both day and nigh: And ‘neath her window often played ‘This Darwin-Huxley serenade— He'd warble to her every day This rhizopodical roundelay : “O most primordial type of spore, I never met your like before. And though a microbe has no heart, From you, sweet germ, I'll never part. We'll sit beneath some fungus growth Till dissolution claims us both!” —New York Sun. Consolation Wire or Betateo Foxnunter: Oh, Perkins, what do you think can have hap- pened to Sir John? Surely if he'd been thrown and hurt the mare would have found her way home by now?" Coacistax: Oh, no, mum; a nice, gen- tle animal like ‘er would have browsed round the body until it was found. —Punch. “up To mim” Lp is published every ‘Thursday, simultaneoasiy in the United States, Great Britain, Canada and British Possessions. $5.10 a year in aavance.
