The Choiera Germ.

Those who have followed the several
reports which Doctor Koch has made
tn the German Government on his
search after the germ OF cholera will
be quite prepared to learn that in his
latest and sixth letter, dated February
and, he declares his conviction that the
bacillus which he FIRST discovered in
Egyp lis entitled to be considered a spe-
cihc and essential element in the disease
In this latest report he enters into a Jul.
Ter detail than hitherto upon the char
acters OF the mierophytes, and enun-
cia,es the reasons which have led him
10 the above conclusion The shape
OF the bacillus is perpendicular it is
no; straight rod, but is slightly curved
like a comma Il is very mobile, and
occurs in colonies of wayy masses.
In gelatine il forms characteristic colo
MES, and causes, like so many OF these
organisms, liqueiaction ofthe medium.
The research included the examination
Of twenty two cholera cadayers and
and seventeen cholera patients, and in
all cases this special bacillus was found
in the intestine and in nee water
stools A set OF control researches"
in cases OF dianheeh, dysentry, and ar
senie poisoning tina, Is TO say, under
conditions OF intestinal arrangement

detect the bacillus
That the bacillus IS no, mere con

The government figures just issued,
showing the extent of the foreign trade
during the last fiscal year, are full of
interesting and very suggestive facts
Passing over many OF these, ii is Of
interest to notice briefly the extent to
which Injuries of various kinds have
been imported from abroad as affording
some idea of the progress of material
prosperity and refinement among our
people. On the whole, such importa-
tons have increased within the year.
OF paintings statuay, and other
works OF art by American artists, the
importations were valued at SAYS, 28I,
against S256.sS9 last year, and S3s4
7S5 the year before; while of paintings,
Autographs, photographs and statuary,
the work of foreigners, the imports
reached S.. r2S, sos, against $a,55o, 6SS
in 1882, the excess this year being in a
measure due to hurried shipments to
this country in order to escape the
higher duty that went into effect on
July Ist The value of the books,
pamphlets, engrayings, and other pub
locations received was $5,65G,59o,
against $5,33o,o75 last year, Musical
instruments, many of the finest work
manship are being imported in larger
numbers year by year; the value reached
the sum Of $I,65a,5sS this year
Fruits from the West Indies, Sicily,
France, and elsewhere, came in large
quantities; the total reached $Io,SI3-
o4t, against $IS,o74,7oo in 1882. OF
coffee, 5Is,S7S, 900 pounds came, worth
$42, 100000; of cocoa, over 5000, 900
pounds, Tea is not so much favored
in this country as in England, but, never
theless, 75,479,o pounds have been
imported within year At cost OF over
$4,000. 900, decrease OF more than
10000 900 pounds, due to the exclusion
OF the poisonous Ping suey compound.
The silk industry at Paterson and
elsewhere is sufficiently prosperous to
take increasing quantities OF the raw
material every year; it is admitted free
OF duty, and while in 1882 the imports
were $a,S79,ooo, this year they have
been S5,2s5,ooo On the other hand,
the imports of manufactured silk in
various forms this year reach only $50
764, agains, SIS, saS,ooo, the
decrease being, however, largely due to
the fact that the quantity received last
year was much in excess of the require
mcnts. The expenditures for what are
termed fancy goods" have been
smaller than last year This term
includes perfumery, beads, fans, feath,
ers, meerschaum pipes, and other ar,i-
eles. The item for French dolls, for
instance, sometimes approximates $500.
900 IN a single year, paying duty to the
government to the amount of over
Ss75,ooo, while other toys, valued at
more than 5000, 900, have paid into the
Treasury something over $500, 600

y intestinal original When, as often
happens, death occurs in the reaction
stage, the bacillli are found, not in the
contents OF the bowel. but within the
muCousmembfdnc and tubular glands
a tact which it will be remembered was
one of the earliest fruits OF the research
in Egypt Doctor Koch points out
that In every respect these bacilli con
form to the behavior OF other pathogenic
bacteria The failure, after repeated
efforts, to lnoculate lower animals with
these bacllli is not considered by Koch
as detractIng from the value Of the dis
covery. lie adduces the instances OF
typhoid fever and lcprosN in which
characteristic microorg1nlsms have been
found, as examples Of the same failure.
Even this defect seems TO have been
removed II We may credit the telegram
from India this week reporting the
successful experiment of Dr. Vincent
Richards, OF Goalundo 1t has been
stated, ON the authority OF the Calcutta
Englshman, that Doctor Richards has
succeeded in innoculating pig with
these bleilli. and thereby reproduced
tho disease IN this animal Doctor
Koch further relates some remarkable
facts as 10 the multiplication OF the
cholera hacillI owaii, thehumau body
q e., In damp soiled linen. and the rapid
manner IN which they can be DESTROYED
by drying The importance Of such an
observation IN prophylaxis is evident;
equally important is the fact that they
perish in very slightly acid fluids, only
nourishing in alkaline, the inference
being that they are liable to be DESTROYED
in the healthy stomach, but that they
may pass through uninjured when the
gastric secretion is deranged At the
same time there may, he thinks, be con
dltions OF the bacillus itself analogous to
the ''restine state of other bacteria.
which may be enable them TO escape
the action Of the gastric juice; but this,
as well as the possibility OF their persis-
tencc as spores for heightened periods
outside the body requires further re.
search. No doubt the German Govern
ment will comply with Doctor koch's
request that he be allowed to continue
his research into India during next
winter. The inquiry has been so fruit
full hitherto that we may look for its fur
ther development as likely to throw still
more light upon the mode OF origin and
spread OF cholera -LorGoa Landfk
