Organic Matter in Woter

The London Chemical News, in re
viewing recent French scientific work,
by Henri de Parville, makes the follow
ing interesting and suggestive extracts
and remarks:
How does organic matter become dan.
gerous2 We must not believe that il
constitutes, as is specifically said, a
tonic element. The phenomenon is more
complex The organic matter in suspen.
sion, or in solution, creates in the water
peculiar mediUm, suitable for the de.
velopment Of exceedingly small beings
of the genus Vibrio. 1t is no longer
mere water-it is a world of micro.
seopic animals and plants which are
born, live and increase with bewildering
rapidity. The infusoria find in the water
calcareous, magnetism aud ammoniacal
salts, and their maintenance is thus Sc
cure. Drink drop Of this liquid and
you swallow millions of minute beings.
But they are vibrios and vibrios. There
are those which are capable of setting
up putrefaetion in our tissues. These are
our enemies; often our mortal enemies
Let water be placed in contact with
organic remains capable of nourishing
these malignantvibrios, and il at once be-
comes more dangerous than any poison.
The author points out that, according
to the researches of the late Dr. Calvert
charcoal, lime and permanganate Of pot
ash, contrary to the received opinion,
facilitate putrefaction, and actually pro-
mote the formation of animalcule
Charcoal, when used for the publication
OF polluted waters, undoubtedly absorss
into its pores offensive gases held in So
luton, as well as liquid eoloring and
havoring matters. Itrenders such waters
colorless and tasteless. But upon living
aninalcula and their germs it is abso-
lutely powerless, Nay, water containing
a known amount of 'abumenoid am
monia" when experimentally filtered
over animal charcoal has been found on
analysis worse than before. Permanga-
nate of potash may oxidize-in fact,
burn uD-dead organic matter suspen-
ded or dissolved in water; but upon
living organisms it is almost powerless
We have seen animalcula remain in full
life and apparent yigor for hours in water
to which permanganate had been added
iu large proportion. NJ. Davaine
found the putrid blood after treatment
with charcoal become more putrid than
before. 1t is possible that the gases dis
solved in the liquid hinder the develop
ment Of the infusoria The author con
siders carbolic, or, better still, crisylic
acid, as the only agent which extirpates
these animalcules According to Woeh-
Ter, Alumni in the gelatinous state pre-
cifitstes the dissolved animal matter,
which serves as pabulum for these
minute animal and vegetable beings.
The experiments Of N, Davai1e on the
power Of antisepties to destroy the virus
of carbunele, belong rather to medicine
than 10 chemistry, Solution of iodine
seems the most efectual remedy.

The physical strength and hardness
Of the English has long been subject
for the admiration and wonder Of their
French and American visitors. These
are due to the system pursued by Eng
lish parents to their children almost
from the hour of their birth. Instead Of
the French bon-bons, French dresses,
late hours and other abominations which
make American children, especially
girls, puny, nervous and sickly at ten or
twelve years of age, English children
have built up, before arriving at that age
a. fund Of vitality which lasts them
through life. They rise at half-past
seven all the year round. They are
carefully bathed and rubbed, and by half
past eight are hungry for breakfast,
which consists Of dish Of oatmeal or
hominy and bowl of milk or of Epps
cocoa, with q little stale bread crumbled
in it. Instead Of the oatmeal or hominy
they may occasionally have perfectly
fresh oftboiled egg mixed with stale
crumble1 bread. After breakfast they
pay their mamma an hours visit, and
then 60 for an hours walk. On their re-
turn they play in the day nursery until
twelve, and are then put to bed for an
hour and half. Between halfpast one
and two they have dinner. This meal
