DIR. Tyndall ON Spontaneous Genera
ton.

On Thursday last, DR.. Tyndall read a
paper before the Royal Society "On the
Optical Department of the Atmosphere
with reference to the Phenomena of Putre-
faction and Infection and surprised and
gratifed his hearers by communicating
much more than was conveyed by his
title. For he showed, by brilliant expert
ments, that spontaneous generation is an
absolute impossibility, and that if solu-
tions open to the air soon swarm with
life it is because they have been impreg-
mated 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 produce life;
and further proof was given by DIR. Tyn-
dall's researches in 1868 and 1869, with
the additional facts that filtering through
cottonwood clears the air as efectually as
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1876-02-24

IRE, and that air thus purified will no,
transmit light. A glass chamber filled
with the purified air remains dark, even
when placed in the track of concentrated
beam OF light. There is nothing to re-
fleet or scatter the light; and it may now
be accepted as an axiom that air which
has lost its power of scattering light has
also lost Its 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
putretaction. 1t has been filtered, and
may be allowed to enter the veins without
hurtful consequences.
The bearing of all this on the question
of spontaneous generation is obvious.
Pasteur has pronounced the spontaneity
to be chimera, and that, this being the
case, it should be possible to Danish par
asitic 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 close
chamber. All the floating matter sub
sides, and the confined air will not trans
NIT light. Solutions placed therein remain
unaltered, though left for months, while
similar solutions open to the ordinary air
swarm with bacteria in twenty-four hours
or two days.
The number and variety of DR.. Tyndall's
experiments leave no room to doubt his
conclusions. That they are of high i'm
portance is manifest; but the believers in
spontaneous generation will not accept
them withouta struggle. The publication
OF the paper itself will be looked for with
interest.-L0nGon Atlengum.

Throwing Cold Water.

SOME people are always throwing cold
water on everything
One of them will effectually extinguish
the most sanguine man in the world.
They go about on purpose to dampen
everybody's enjoyment. Their chief hap
piness consists in making somebody else
anxious and foreboding. They are birds
of evil omen, always expecting something
dreadful is coming. They look for the
cholera next year. The smallpox is on
the increase. Everybody, almost, is liza
BILE to paralysis. They like to read aloud
the statistics of death and disease. They
like to attend funerals. They frequent
cemeteries. They are fond of talking over
signs of death and ill-luck.
The crops are sure to fail this year, they
invariably say. The grasshoppers will be
unusually plentiful. The locusts are COM
ing this way. Potatoes will rot, and the
wheat will be smutty.
Epizootic will rage; colds will flourish,
and colds generally end in consumption,
they say they have observed.
The banks are all going to break, and
Government will repudiate its debts.
Bonds will be worthless six months
hence
The man who likes to throw cold water
will stop You in the streets to inquire after
your health, and he will tell you that
you look Just as his friend Simpson did,
and Simpson died of apoplexy when he
was just about your age. Sick only three
hours, and left an inconsolable wife and
eight small children.
He says you look bilious, and remarks
that his mother had just such COM
plexion few days before she was taken
down with typhoid fever, and suggests to
you the propriety of taking Jenkins Anti
Bilious Pills, which his brother has for
sale.
If you contemplate going on an excur-
sion into the country, he is sure it is going
to rain-he never knew clouds like those
in the south to fail of bringing wet
weather.
If you are going to ride, he will tell you
that the roads are in frightful condition,
and the mud up to your ankles. If you
are going anywhere on the cars, he will
look lugubrious, and inform you that the
culverts on that particular route you are
to travel by are extremely unsafe, and that
the rolling stock is all old and liable to
break an axle at any moment
If you have any particular friends, and

THE BOLTED DOOR,

Con is knocking,
Ever knocking,
At the hearts thrice bolted aour,
Which were locking,
Ever locking
As we oft have done before,
And we hesr, yet hearing, heed not,
While we fasten close the door,
He is calling,
Ever calling,
In son and gentle tone,
To the fallen
And the falling,
To the weary and the lone;
Still they answer not the summons,
Till the spirit voice has nown.
He's entreating.
Fer entresting,
By Hi, mercy. by His care,
Knocking, knocking,
And repeating,
Calling, calling, this His prayer:
Let me enteri'' Hear 1t mortali
Open wide the sin-locked portal;
Hear it, mortal; open quickly;
God is waiting at the door.

happen to speak in their favor, he willroll
sp his eyes in pious distress, and sigh,
and say that if you only knew what he
knows; and then he signs again, and says,
despairingly:
Well, we are all poor creaturesn'
And when you insist on being told what
he knows, he sighs louder and more dis
mally than before, and says il is against
his principle to say anything to injure
anybody, or to make them feel unhappy

LET patience have her perfect work and
bring, forth her celestial fruits Trust God
to weave in your little thread into the
great web, though the pattern show it not
yet. When Gods people are able and
willing thus to labor and wait, remember
that one day is with the Lord as a thou
sand years and a thousand years as one
day; the grand harvest shall come to its
reaping, and the day shall broaden itself
to thousand years. and the thousand
years shall show themselves as perfect
and finished day.-George macdonald.

4 CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Tribune makes novel suggestion for the
cure OF hard times. It is fer everyone to
buy ten dollars worth of something that
he does not want, if he cannot get what
ne does want, and pay the money for it.
The result would be to put $3.50, 900, 900
in circulation. Vino will begin?

Before washing almost any colored
fabrics it is recommended to soak them
for some time in water, to every gallon of
which is added spoonful OF ox-gall. A
teacup of I've in a pail of water is said to
improve the color of black goods, when
it is necessary to wash them. A strong
clean tea of common hay will preserve
the color OF French linens. Vinegar in
the rinsing water, for pink or green, will
brighten those colors, and soda answers
the same end for both purple and blue
The cOlors Of the above fabrics may be
preserved by using strong milkwarm
lather of white soap and putting the dress
into it, instead of rubbing it on the ma
terial, and stirring into I rst and second
tub OF water large tablespoonful of OK
gall

Taking His Life.

Our life insurance agent, Benjamin P.
Gum, was over at Wilmington the other
day, and while there he heard that old
Mr.. Bromley had no insurance upon his
life; so Gum concluded to drop in to see
him. Bromley had no acquaintance with
Gum, and when the latter entered the
office he introduced himself by saying:
" Mr.. Bromley, [ called to see if could
take your life''
Northumberland d'you say?" exclaimed
Bromley, in some alarm
g say that I've come around to take
your life. My name is Gum As soon
as heard you.were unprotected, that you
had nothing on your life, l thought l
would just run in and settle the thing with
you at once"
Then Bromley got up and went to the
other side of the table, and said to him
self:
" By George, it's lunatic who has
broken out of the asylum. He'll kill me
if [ holler or run. | must humor him"
Then Gum, fumbling in his pocket
after his mortality tables, followed Brom-
ley around the room, and said to him:
3" You can choose your own plan, you
know, it's immaterial to me- Some like
one way, and some like another. It's a
matter of taste, Which one do you pre-
fer?'
" I'd rather not die at all" said Brom
ley, in despair.
But you've got to die, of course" said
Gum; that's thing there's no choice
about. All can do is to make death
easy for you; to make you feel happy as
you 60 off. Now which plan will you
take?"
Couldn't you postpone it until to-
morrow, so as to give me time to think q"
" No; [ prefer to take you on the spot.
might as we'll do it now as at any other
time. You have wife and children?"
8 Yes, and l think you ought to have
some consideration for them, and let me
off"
Well, that's curious kind of an ar
gument," said Gum When I take
