L ISOLATION The regular monty meeting Of the
| Washington Scientific Association was held last
evening at the ball Of the Georgetown Medical
College near the corner Of Twelfth and p streets
Amer the transaction Of business pertaining 10 the
| association Prof s. l.. LOOMS, the president,
i read an essay on the Correlation and Conser-
walton OF Forces In Fermentation" The most
popularity interesting portion of the lecture was
| that treating upon fermentation.
| The action OF yeast upon the dough mass was
fully explained He stated that the hrst change
| breaking up Of sugar (Which Is In the rour) into
carbonic acid and alcohol, but the heat Is In
creased to 1902 another fermentation ensues, and
1t breaks again into tactic acid and chemical
| force. The growth Of the yeast was next noticed,
and Its minute structure explained the cells being
| only one seven thousandth part OF an Inch In d.
| ameter.
The different kinds Of bread were next de-
scribed and the chemistry Of It's manufacture ex-
planned Fermented bread, leavened and IN
leevened bread and aerated bread were mentioned
In turn. Unleavened bread he stated TO be an old
institution, but the aerated bread, which was
modern Institution, wss a kind Of unlesvened
| bread which he thought was the best for diges-
| ton.
He then alluded TO the habit of raising bread
by means Of leaven, a portion Of dough which has
stood since the lat baking, and stated that after
| the dough was once raised decay will commence,
| and although the baking suspends the decay II
does not destroy It, and In course Of time persons
who bread so made will become unhealthy.
The loss by this fermentation or decay was no.
ticed. In France IS pounds per barrel was lost,
while In this country from 10 to Is pounds was
lost 10 had been estimated that the city Of Lon
don by this means lost 81, COO barrels annually.

cert at Willards' Hall tomorrow evening:
Her rendering OF the part of "Rosalind" was
very sprightly and thoroughly appreciative her

Of Der last reading, though then characterized by
an inimitable combination Of womap's Ia ct with
girlish simplicity; but her genius only demon
straied itself to the utmost when the absence
Of delinquent Sir Peter Teszle, whom she had
relied on, compelled her to assume that part as
well as his coquettish wife's. People who have
seen the full strength Of Blake and Laura Keene
brought out by the necessities of these two char
acters, will understand what daring venture the
duel impersonation must have been to a Young
lady who has never had stage instruction, So
called. But the event justified her. With the
most perfect selfpossession, aud with charming
faithfulness, she portrayed each of her difhcuit
natures In turn, never hesitating never blending
her parts, altering voice, face, position and man
mel with the changes OF her dialogue, until at
the close OF the scolding scene she retired
amid an applause which was sincere as II was
hearty.
