DR.. Tyndall on Sponta neous Genera
ton.
[London Athenaum January 18th. ]

[London Atheneum January l5th.1
On Thursday last DR.. Tyndall read q
paper before the Royal Society "On the
Optical Department Of the Atmosphere
with Reference to the Phenomena Of
Putrefaction and Infection,'' and sur.
prised and gratified 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 1868 and 1869
with the additional facts that fltering
through cottonwood clears the air as
etiectua'ly as fire, and that air thus puri-
fled will not transmit light. A glass
chamber filled with the purified air re-
mains dark, even when placed in the
track of a 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 it's power
of scattering light, has also lost it's power
of producing life.
Hospital surgeons have been for some
time aware of the fact that air which has
passed through the lungs will not cause
putrefaction. 1t has been filtered and
may be allowed to enter the veins with.
out hurtful consequences.
The bearing of all this on the question
OF spontaneous generation is obvious.
Pasteur has pronounced the spontaniety
to be chimcra, and that, this being the
case, it should be possible to Danish par.
asites or contagious diseases from the
face: of the earth and, from this point of
view, it is easy to see that the subject
has wide bearing on the phenomena Of
putrefaction and infection.
DR.. Tyndall now finds that air can be
rendered OFFICIALLY pure by merely leaving
it undisturbed three or four days in a
close chamber. All the floating matter
subsidies, and the confined air will not
transmit light. Solutions placed therein
remain unsltered, though left for months,
/ while similar solutions open to the ord;n-
larry air swarm with bacteria in twenty
! four hours or two days. -. r.;

A prominent member of the cabinet
authorizes the assertion that all the pub

between the president and any member

foundation in fact; and it is stated upon
the same authority, that there has never
been, either Of recent date, or at any
time within many months, the occurrence
of any event in q cabinet session which
could by any possible means be construed
into an indication of bad feeling or pre-.
monition of a rupture, The late state

declarations to the effect that the secre.
