ORGANIC MATTERS IN BREATHED AIR.

The Medical Times, in alluding to what it terms
Professor Tyndall's sensational lecture about the so-
called atmospheric germs, lays before its readers how
much and how little of such doctrine it considers
they ought to believe. Dr. Angus Smith, it says,
hit upon the ingenious plan of washing the air, and
then analysing the washings. His results were ex-
traordinary, shewing that there were as many as
seven parts of ammonia in a million of air, as evinced
by the rain-water examined. A part of this ammonia
certainly developed organic matter of some kind, but
the question arose, What is organic matter ? Organi
matter and germs, continues our contemporary, are
two totally different things, organic matter being
present in fluid, and germs being deposited in this.
For organic matter to assume life some special and
subtle force is needed, but, unfortunately, the nature
of this has hitherto remained undiscovered. One
great question of the present day is whether specific
germs are necessary to give this life, or whether the
ordinary forces of nature, especially light and heat,
are not capable of infusing this life-giving force..
One thing, it adds, is certain—that to talk of all
organic matters in the atmosphere as germs is absurd.
