III. DeAsra;n has concluded his expert
ments connected wieh aERMNATIoN, de-
monstratlng that for this process seeds
must have two conditions, humidity and
oxygen. The envelope Of a seed being
dry, does not alloy the oxygen to pass
through; the coycgary is the case when
the coating is moist, and if 10 such a case
the seed be enclosed under a bell glass,
after a few days twill be remarked that
the oxygen in that confined atmosphere,
has been very largely absorbed, and by
the separation of this oxygen from the
nitrogen of the imprisoned air, heat is pro-
duced the oxygen is thus enabled to at
tack, to consume the matters in the seed,
necessary for the food of the sprout and
carbonic acid is consequently given off.
The same gentleman has also conducted
experiments to test termination in several
different gases ; he confirms the old obser-
walton of DE SAUssURE, that carbonic acid
is of all gases the most inimical to ger
mination.
MoLLUsKs can remain in a state of
SUSPENDED ANIMATION for a very long
time =; snails, though exposed to dust and
drought for a period Of four years, have
returned to life after being stepped in wa
ter, and some even ~propagated. Bivalves,
after being fifteen months out of water,
have similarly been restored, and this sum-
mer, at Nantes, a basket, of oysters, for
gotten for a fortnight, Were found to be
alive, and have been successfully employ
ed to stock new beds. Chemists estimate
that an ordinary healthy mar requires
eleven ounces of dry azotised matter for
his daily nutrition, and NJ. Poyen calcu-
Iates that he who would wish to obtain
this amount from oysters, ought to eat
sixteen dozen of them, medium sized.
VIrELL1us, the imperial glutton, is report
ed to have eaten one hundred dozen at
each of his four meals.

from r. C. Paris Sc;eaesL Lottery

THE TARTARs have q f~avorite beverage
called .KoUMIss," prepared by the. alco-
holic fermentation Of mares milk it is a
drink at once refreshing and Intoxicating,
and efervescent like champagne. As con-
sumption is next to unknown among the
Kalmuck Tartars, this exemption has
been attributed to their use of Koumiss,
although they are always exposed to the
vicissitudes of a bad climate. DR.. Schnepp
in 1866, first made known to the Faculty
of Paris. the valuable properties of Kou-
miss, but the honor Of having it tested on
a large scale rests with DIR. Land0~ski.
In the Paris hospitals, several patients
condemned to certain death from consump-
ton, have by using Koumiss, ceased vast
ing away, have become fat, and in o word
been restored to life. Koumiss as now
employed in the Paris hospitals is a liquid
white as milk it is preserved in bottles
Theoretically sealed, having cock to run
off the quantity required /; it is bitter to
the taste and has a sour smell ; care must
be taken not to allow its carbonic acid
gas to be lost.
