The Chignon Fungus.
Dear Journal: Having noticed in your
columns leeently certain paragraphs alluding
to the existence ot a creature commonly
know n a* the jute Insect, and believing the
whole affair to be one of the popular fallacies
of the day, 1 think it may not he amiss to calj
the attention of your readers to a kindred
subject, from which it seems natural to sup.
pose our own recent “jute panic,” to have
arisen. Perhaps some of your lady readers,
who, terrified by the representation of inter
ested parties, concerning the jute insect, have
consigned their “vegetable tresses,” to tlu
flames and resorted to the use of human hair
coming from “heads unknown,” may not he
aware that the war of the Chignon Fungus
began in Europe, while as yet, the poor per
secuted jute was waving in its native fields
all unconscious of the eventfhl future that
awaited it in lands beyond the sea.
On the 7th of February, 1867, there ap
peared in the Hamburg paper “Der Freis
chutx” an article in which the public was
informed that a certain Mr. Llndemann pro
fessed to have discovered and observed a
microscopical parasite, to which he gave the
name of Gregarinc. Then follows a tuinutj
description of this insect, which is said to ex
ist in the animal and human body, where it
floats about in the blood, making its most
striking appearance on the human lmir. Mr.
L. goes on to make the most startling revela
tions concerning the development of these
gregarines into lice, taking liberties with
Darwinism, which would astonish the strong
est ndliernts to that theory, lie states, also,
that “out of thirty samples of hair, obtained
from a iiair dresser in Nislini Noogorod, gre
garines were found in seventy-five per cent and
it is well known, tliut the hair used for the
chignons of the better half of Kussia, is
bought of the poor peasant women, who are
proverbially of dirty habits.” lie concludes
by Buying: “The most favorable conditions
for the growth of gregarines, are, light, in
creased temperature, and a moist atmosphere
—just such conditions as are found in the
heated ball room.”
These reports, on rearching England, be
wildered the fashion worshippers of the day,
in much the same manner, (and probably with
about the same degree ot truth,) as the re
cent statements, concerning the jute insect
have affected the fair dames of our own lo
cality.
Now let us hear the testimony of a noted
English physician, Tilbury Eox. M. I)., who,
for many years, has devoted his time and at
tention to the studies of diseases of the hair,
connected with the development of vegetable
parasites. The results of his investigations,
in a few words, are as follows: In the first
place, ne na.x never iounu, in n iung series ui
microscopical observations, a true grcgarian
in connection with the hair, but he has dis
covered on false German hair, ‘*a vegetable
growth answering in naked eye appearances,
to that described by Lindeinann.” Then fol
lows a long and interesting illustrated descrip
tion of the Fungus, which may be found in
“Hardwicke’s Science Gossip,” for May. 1*(>7.
or in the American Naturalist for the same
year. He entirely denies its animal ^nature,
and concludes by saying, that “In the condi
tion in which it is found on the hair, it need
cause but little anxiety, Gut iu certain minute
forms, which it sometimes assumes, it trans
planted to a lavorable soil,—and the heads of
delicate children best furnish it—would pro
duce disease of the scalp.” of ibis be has no
doubt, but be observes, that “luckily, the
tissues of adults, viz. those who wear chig
nons, are not susceptible to this sort of disease,
and as the mass of false hair w orn in ling
land is free from the Fungus, the danger on
the whole is slight.”
Hut what has all this to do w ith jute? Pos
sibly little, probably much. In the first place, I
we see how “Doctors disagree,” and we see*
“how great a matter a little fire kindleth.” I
am not aware that any one has over proved
the existence of any parasite upon jute,
whether animal <*r vegetable, and viewed in a
reasonable light the whole story seems very
improbable, it our physicians would do us
the favor to investigate the matter, we think
it would be a kind act, not only in relieving
the minds of those, w ho wish to make use of'
the article in question, but also in silencing
those persons who, to answer their own ends,
have done much towards creating this panic,
and alcove all to increase the sum of general
intelligence, or more properly, common
sense, by crushing to the earth one more
popular fallacy.
