FEEDING ON STONE
DESTROYER OF BUILDINGS
A London botanist, Dr. Buchanan, has discovered microbes which feed on stone. The germs have been artificially cultured, and are of various types. They attack stone castles, cathedrals, and monuments, and infect buildings as other germs do the human body. Having found the diseases, it may be easy to find the cure, and. as a result of this discovery, it may be possible to prevent the decay of beautiful buildings.
