the surface and bursting, the spray Of the bubble
was allowed to fall into the transparent beef-tea
or mutton-broth. in two days it became as bad
as its neighbors.
Referring to another point on which the lee
turer had insisted-nameIy, that there was no
power of spontaneous generation of the germs or
contagiOn Of diseases, Professor Tyndall said
that, though at present great names were opposed
to that view, he would venture to predict that
ten years hence there would be very few great
names opposed to the lecturer on that matter.
With regard to the power of specific cOntagia to
be generated in ~decomposing animal matter, he
would say that for the last twenty-one years he
had been in the habit Of visiting the upper
Alpine valleys. where, amongst the Swiss chalets,
there was the most abOminable decomposition
going on from day to day, and exceedingly bad
smells, but there these contagious diseases were
entirely unknown. If, however, a person suffer
ing from typhoid fever were transported there,
the disease would spread like wildfre from this
infected focus, and probably take possession of
the entire population. 1t might be taken, there
fore, that any Of these special diseases required
its special germ or seed for its production, just
as you required a grape-seed to produce a vine.
He entirely agreed all that DIR. COrfeld had
stated as to these diseases . breeding true He
never found the virus of smallpox producing
typhoid, or rice Uersa. The subject was one of
the most important which could engage the
attention Of the scientific physician.

lie was the manager of the church fair, and
one morning he walked into the newspaper Office
and sand, d" Want an item this mornlng?'
"Of course replied the editor, Whereupon
the visitor laid the following note on the table:
1.-The ladies Of the - Street Church will
give a festival at their vestry hall next Friday
evening. Literary and musical entertainments
will be provided, and Il supper will be served to
all who desire. The ladies in charge of the
affair have much experience in such matters, and
are sure to provide a good time. The admission
will be only fifteen cents, and it is certain that
no one can spend that amount to a better advan-
tage. Be sure to 90 and take your friends"
When the editor had read it he said
ooh, l sec, an advertisement"
"No, not an advertisement. We prefer to
have it go into the local column" replied the
manager. And seeing the editor looked skepti-
cal he continued, I" 1t will interest a great many
of your readers and help a good cause; besides
we have spent so much money in getting up our
entertainment that we can not afford to advertise
it without increasing the price of the tickets.
In such a matter as this we ought to be willing
to help each other"
"Well, . said the editor, 90 if it goes into the
locals, [ suppose you would reciprocate by read
ing q notice in your church next Sunday" The
visiting brother asked what notice, and the
editor wrote and handed him the following
"The Weekly Chronicle for the coming wear
will be the best and cheapest family paper in
Maine. Its proprietor has had much experience,
and has all the helps which a large outlay of
money can procure. His paper has a larger cir
~culation than any other published in the county,
and is to be furnished at only two dollars. 1t is
certain that no one can spend that amount of
money to a better advantage. Be sure to take
the Chronicle, and subscribe for your friends"
The manager hemmed and hesitated, and then
said, solemnly, that he doubted whether it
would be judicious to read such a notice" but
suggested that if it was printed, copies OF it
might be distributed at the door Of the yestry on
the evening of the entertainment.
"Yes," said the editor. - but it would attract
more attention in the middle of n sermon. 1t
will interest "A large number of your congrega-
ton and help a good cause aud, besides, so
much money is spent upon the Chronicle that |
don't see how the owner can afford to print hand
bills to advertise it without increasing the sub
scription price. In such a matter rs this we
ought to be willing to help each other"
Then the gentleman saw the situation and
went straight out, without leaving so much
as a complimentary ticket.-[F armingtOn (Me.)

they might wish in order that the Board may take
them into consideration. The Board to-day received
a communication through Rear Admiral Rodgers
superintendent OF the academy, from Chief Engineer
Charles H. Baker, complaining that the hrst class Of
cadet engineers had been from the BATTALION
and instead of drilling with II were placed IN the
machine shops to learn certain mechanical arts con-
ncced entirely with the Engineer Department. He
asked that the Cadet Engineers have tho same rank

from the battalion IN their last at tho academy.
