RinInCirai Debates

The meeting of the Biological Society
was Friday evening well attended, thirty six mem
bers being present, and Professor Gill, of the
Smithsonian Institution, in the chair. Animated
discussions resulted from the reading OF papers on
! Suctorial organs of prehenslon among animals
and "Septuary periodicity in living organisms"
In the course of the discussion the latter paper
it was shown that the period of incubation, not
only in animals, but diseases were muitiplcs OF
seven and the Importance of this fact in medical
science, especially in shaping quarantine regula
tions, was pointed out. The influence OF the moon
in the development of periodicity was also dis
cussed, during which number of interesting facts
were quoted TO sustain this story

A Nine to be Pat In the field.

The National Baseball Club has de-
cided to place nine in the field this coming sea-
son. and one, too their friends and patrons will not
be ashamed Of There has been already organiz lied
five clubs independent of the League-Albany, New
York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and this city. There
is abundance of good material that could easily
be collected into firsclass Mines and doubtless it
win be done by the time playing season gets
round. A direct circuit between here and Boston
would make the game profitable to The clubs, and
they might have all the contests they wished with
out begging games from League clubs. Probably
the farther the latter keep from this city this sum
mer the better they viii be appreciated.
