On Thursday last DR.. .Tyndall read
paper before the Royal Society ''On. the
Optical Department Of tho Atmosphere
with Reference to tho Phenomsna OF
Putrefaction and Infection" and sur
prised and gratiiied his hearers by COM ,
municating much more than was con-.
veyed by his title. For he. showed By
brilliant experiments, that spontaneous
generation is an absolute impossibility,
and that If solutions opened to the air
soon swarm with life, ,it is because they.
have been impregnated by living particles
floating in the air. 1t has long been
known that air which has been thoroughly
freed from floating particles BY fire; the
action Of acids or otherwise, will not pro-
duce life ; and further proof was given BY
DR.. Tyndall's researches in 1858 and 1859
with the additional facts that filtering
through cottonwood clears the air as
eflectua,]y as fire, and that air thus puri.~
fed will not transmit light. A glass
chamber filled with the: purified air re.
mains dark, even when placed in the
track Of concentrated; beam Of light.
There IS nothing to reflect or scatter the
light; and it may now be accepted as an
axious that air which has lost its power
of scattering light, has also lost'its power

lTerre Haute Gazette.1
A little episode occurred at Pence 3
hall last evening which is calculated ia
shake the confidance of the visitors who
were present in the supernatural charac
ter of Alice Belle Purless, the spirit whe
materializcs every night for the enter
tainment OF visitors.
There were present last night, five gen.
tlemcn' Of an inquiring turn Of mind, who
were determined to discover whether OF
not "Belle" and Mrs. Stewart were moi
one and the same person. Accordingly
each provided himself with small quan.
tity oflamp6lack, and when the lights
were turned down they rubbed this black
on the palms of their right hand.
Belle was as usual, the first spirit ia
put IN an appearance and as she held out
her spiritualistic hand, it was grasped
and squeezed affectionately by each Of the
five young men. After this the usual
performanc was gone through with, and
when the seance had closed, the light
were turned up, the five young men
pressed around the medium to thank and
congratulate her. Each grasped her
han' -ngerly and examined its palm,
when, strange to say, the lampblack
which had been smeared upon the spirit
Belle, appeared on the palm
of Mrs. Stewart, who had apparently
been sitting in trance in one corner Of
the cabin while the materialized spirit
perambulatcd the seance room and frater.
nizcd with mortals.
There could be no mistake about it,
the hand which had been white and clean
was all besmearcd with lampblack, as
yere the hands Of the five gentleman OF
inquiring minds. We are unable to learn
the names Of the the young men, but our
informant, who received his information
from an undoubted athority, tells us tina,
two were from. Pana, ILL.,, two from
Clarksvillc, Tenn. The residence of the
other was not known to him.
