UNwHoLRsoME VAPoRs.-The nature of un-
wholesome vapors has been investigated by NJ.
Lemaire, who, believing that miasmas are
produced by large quantities of the lowest
animal and vegetable organisms, collected
the air of room in which twenty persons had
slept, and which had no ventilation. On con-
densing the vapor of this air, and submitting
it to microscopic examination, he found it
charged with bacteria (B. termo), vibriones,
and monads, the latter being of the form Of
pointed oval. He then examined the vapor
collected from the outer atmosphere and kept
for forty-eight hours, and though it presented
few bacteria and vibriones, It contained no
monads.
