Among the collections stored in the
museum of the Academy of Sciences,
of San Francisco. is large jar of
water taken several years ago from
Mono Lake. As is generally quite
well known, the waters OF this lake
possess certain chemical properties
that not only destroy every form of
animal life, but even dissolves the
bodies and bones, il suffered to remain
submerged within it tor any consider
able length of time. Yet within this
jar of water, now in the rooms of the
Academy, may be seen certain micro.
SCOPE forms of bacteria living and
multiplying profuscly. This is all the
more remarkable from the fact that
the water has been reduced fully one
third by evaporation, and, OF course,
the destructive elements therein are
increased in power in the same pro-
portion Mining and Scientific Press.
The Ac DENY of Sciences seems to
be ignorant Of the fact that Mono
Lake is fell of small worms which the
Indians call chuhowau and use extern
sively for food; they also fatten the
gulls and ducks. What the learned
professors have found are doubtless
some infant chuhowau, whose growth
has been retarded by the Ill usage to
which they have been subjected AS
the worm at mature eating age is about
the size of a grain of rice, it is not
strange that the poor orphans, taken
so far from home and friends, should
remain microscopic.
