Light VS.. Bacteria.

Messrs. Downes aud Blunt have been
engaged for some time in Investigations
upon the influence OF light upon the
development of bacteria, as bearing more
particularly upon the researches Of the
late papers of Tyndall, Bastiau, and
others. Among the provisional conclu
sions reached by them were that light is
inimical to the development of bacteria
and that, under favorable conditions, it
NAV prevent it entirely, or at least re-
tard it. The direct insulation, however,
is necessary for the production of the full
effect of the light. The conditions tend
ing to neutralizc the action of light are
the same as are known to favor the pro.
cess of fermentation and putrefaction
but the fitness of the solution to serve as
indus is not destroyed by insulation
The authors claim, az their discovery
that light is absolutely inimical to the
production of bacteria. Harper's Weekly

curious fact in connection with Egyptian
art. The author says: Among the in
Vulnerable paintings and sculptures in
the temples and tombs of Egypt, | never
met with single representation of a
camel. At Thebes, in the highest of the
tombs, OH the side of the Djebil Habow,
called Add ell Gorne, which has not, |
believe, been mentioned by former trav.
elers, or by the French in their great
work, | found all the domestic animals
of the Egyptians represented together in
one large painting upon wall, forming
the most interesting work of the kind
which | saw in Egypt. A shepherd con.
ducts the whole herd into the presence
of his master, who inspects them, while
slave is noting them down. Yet even

of an implied contract that when the

is not, he almost necessarily becomes
discouraged and careless; and in that
