THEORY OF ATMOSPHERIC GERMS.

In a paper on the Theory of Atmospheric
Germs,'' by DR.. Samson, published in the
April number Of the Quartely Journal Of
Science, after critical examination and
testing Of the various views held by differ
ent writers on this question, the author
comes to the following conclusions: Il.
Putrefac,ion, mildew formation, and the
appearance Of organisms can be checked or
absolutely prevented BY the existence Of
certain agents in the air supplied TO q
putrescibe body .. The power Of such
agents can in no sense be measured by their
chemical constitution and characters.
From many experiments, the following ex>
presses their order Of efficiency from weak
est to strongest Il. chloride of lime; r. j
sulphurous acid, ammonia, sulphuric ether
(3. chloroform; 4 camphor; o.. iodine,
phosphorus, cresote, carboiic acid. 8. The
agents which stop fermentation are vege,a-
bic. not animal, poisons Fungi will grow
in the presence hydrocyanic acid and Of
sirychnla. 4. Comparative experiments
show that q given volatil agent IS far more
efficient when it is contained in the air
| supplied to putrescible solution than when
an equal quantity is mixed with the solution
itself 5 Al. iungo.d organisms can be pre-
vented by the presence OF q minute proper
ton o.; cresoie, carbolic acid ammonia, hy
drochloric acid. or sulphurous acid
in the air, though beneath the surface Of the
fluid are found numerou. bacteria and
v.5rios. There seems TO be no escape from
the conclusion that the germs Of iuGgi exis,
in the air, AMI are destroyed By the volatile
poisonous agent"

Europe. Belgium is the nearest point te
Cresswell Crags in an easterly direction in

more highly finished articles to imply the
presence of hunters in Derbyshire following
the same kind Of life as the Eskimaux Of the
continental caves, armed with the bow and
the spear, unacquainted with metal and the
use of pottery, and unaided in the chase BY
the dog.
Thus we have a regular sequence o:
events recorded in "Robin Hoods cave
First there was time when it was den
OF hyenas, and man was not. Secondly, it
was occupied by a rude tribe Of hunters
from time to time, and when they left it the
hyenas returned to their old haunts. Third.
~, another set Of hunters, allied to the Es-
kimaux, then living on the Continent, fol-
lowed the hunt, until they, too, found a
shelter here. And, lastly, after an interval
in which most of the animals mentioned
above became either extinct or retreated to
hotter or colder climates, it was visited dur
ing the Roman occupation Of Britain. We

that the respondent had been Leading a life
OF frivolous gaiety, passing her time in
frivolous amusements, flirting with variety
Of men, and conducting herself in such a
way as to lead to her husband renonstran-
ces. It was also only fair to remind them
that there had Of late years been a very
marked change in the habits and manners
Of society, and that formerly women would
have shrunk from being seen with persons
and at places in circumstances which were

change with lcathing, but it was fact that
there had been such change is that to
which he referred in fashion and in the hab-
1t of young persons. Therefore, in these
days, the same conclusion ought not to be
drawn from conduct which would have been
drawn from it in former times'
1t is evident that things must have reach

the bench. conld feel himself justified in
drawing such picture Of fashionable life;
and it can hardly fail to open the eyes of
those who have either shut their eyes or
winked at the continual loosening of social
restraints. What Sir J. Hammer has said

Of society has agreed to dispense with the
old rules on the subject. No matter what
may be the levity and freedom Of womans's
ways, no matter what breaches Of decorum
she may commit, it is not to be concluded
that she Is not most a respectable
lady, for that is the way in which many
respectable ladies now conduct themselves.
Once upon a time there was difference
between the manners Of good and those Of
bad society, and a man could judge from
the way in which a lady received him on
what terms he stood with regard to her.

POETRY
M.TttE tGLoRY OF GOD IN CREATION.
b. THOMAS MOORE.

Thou art, Q God, the life and light
Cfalt this wondrous world we see;
It's glow by day, and its smile by night
Are but reflections caught from Thee!
Where'er eturn Thy glories shine.
And all things fairand bright are thine,
When day with, farewell beams delays,
Among the opening clouds Of even,
And We can almost think we gaze
Through golden yistas into Heaven:
Those hues that mark the suns decline.
So soft, 50 radiant, Lord. are Thine
When night with wings Of stormy gloom,
0'ershadows all the earth and skies.
Like some dark beauteous bird, whose plum,
Is sparkling with a thousand dyes;
That sacre dgloom, those fires divine,
50 grand, so countie5st Lord, are Thine.
When youthful Spring around us breathes,
Thy spirit warns her fragrant sigh;
and every flower the Summer wreathes,
Is born beneath that kindhng eye;
Where,er We turn, Thy gIories shine,
Aud all things bright and fair are Thine.

COINCIDENCE OF THERMOMETRIC AND
SUN-SPOT CURVES.

Mr.. Stone, the astronomer royal at the
Cape Of Good Hope, in comparing the Their
mometric curves taken at the Cape since
1871 with those in VOLTS observations on
the sun spots, finds an agreement between
the two series SO close as TO inducs him to
think that the same causewhich leads to the
excess of mean annual temperature
leads equally to dissipation Of solar spots,
and also tina there is an approximately
decennial period Of such temperature. He
leans, however, to the opinion that the
Connection between the variation of mean
temperature and the appearance of the solar
spots is indirect rather than direct, and that
each results from some general change in
the solar energy
