References to the microbes-or micro

this classification of their varieties by
Mr.. w. Hamlet may be of interest: 1.
Microbes which appear AS points are
called moRdds, aaonera or n,icrococca. They
are motionless, and may be regarded rs
the spores Of other microbes. 2. Notion
less linear nlicrobes-the bacterididns and
the baciUi. To them belongs Bacillus
antl,dcis, which produces the dreaded
splenc fever Of cattle and sheep. b
Cylindrical mobile microbes, having
rounded ends or contracted in the middle
so as to form an 8, are the bacteria proper
Among them is Bacterium termo of putre-
faction, the coinmonest of all. 4. Flex-
uous mobile microbes. They look and
act like cells, and differ but little from
the equally active bacteria. They are
the ribrios. S. Spiral microbes, resen-
bling u corkscrew, and mobile; SpiriNa
spirochetoe. Their presence in human
blood appears to be connected with
intermittent fever g. Microbes with

globules are apparently spores ready to

states, the microbes form agglomerations
in which their appearance is somewhat

tive names. There seems to be 10 way
at present Of distinguishing between q
disease producing bacterium and harm

A Great disappointment.
london Daily NeMs.l

1t is, we may perhaps be permitted 10 say
some time since the Atlantic cable flashed such
stirring news as that which appeared in our
columns yesterday from our New York cores
pondent. Mr.. Oscar Wilde, we learn, is disap-
pointed with the Atlantic. We are not sure
whether the brevity habitual to cable dis
patches does not leave the announcement in
its most striking form. A word more might
spoil it. Nevertheless, it is difficult to restrain
the natural impulse of curiosity which seeks to
learn on what ground this feeling is based.
Was the Atlantic too small or too large, or too
wet for Mr., Wilde? Did he object to the ar
rangement of white and blue which it occa-
sionally presents? Were the waves nartistic
in form or inconvenient in action? To the or
binary mind the Atlantic Ocean appears to
fulfill the most exacting estimates of sublimity.
We have some doubt whether the poets pub
lished works will achieve for him that immor-
tally which may possibly be his DUE Nor
can it be expected that amid the constant
birth of new social follies the lavish satire OF
Punch will always keep his memory green;
But he has now gone a point nearer toward
perpetuating his name than he ever reached
by more ambitious efforts. Mr.. Oscar Wilde
disappointed with the Atlantic Isl picture that
win not readily fade from the public mind.
