The Straits Of Malacca.

The Straits of Malacca comprise q
long strip of water, extending from
southeast to northwest, and connecting
the Bay of Bengal with the South Pa.

of it which is sometimes called Australia

of Malacca thrusis down long. slender

being only separated from Java by the
Straits of Sunda. The Straits Settle
ments comprise the four cities of Singa-
pore, Malacca, Penang and Wellesley,
with certain dependencies nominally
under the rule of sultans or rajahs, but
really controlled by the British residents
in each. Singapore is on an island
fifty or sixty miles in circumference at
the lower end of the straits. The popu-
lation of the island is about $50, 900, of
whom nearly 100000 are Chinese. Pc
nang is on an island nearly the same
size at the upper end of the straits, and
Malacca is about half way between.
Penang Island contains a population Of
100000. with perhaps $4,000 Chinese.
Malacca has about 100. 900. with $4,000
Chinese, and larger proportion Of
native Malays than either Penang or
Singapore. The European population
here, including the British troops on
duty rarely exceeds fifty.-Cor. San

Bacteria.

Londoners, and yet more Parisians.
says the st. James Gazette, must hope
that bacteria are not such dangerous
animals as they are sometimes said to
be by their enemies; for the air of large
cities is full of them. The proportion of
bacteria in cubic metre of atmospheric
air is, according to M. de Parville,
writing in the Journal des Dcbats, 0.6
in sea air, one in the air of high mount
aims, sixty in the principal cabin of a
ship at sea, 200 on the top of the Pan
theon, $50 in the Rue de Rivoli, 5000
in the Paris sewers, $1,000 in old Paris
houses, 10000 in the new hospital of the
Hotel Dieu, and $4,000 in the old
hospital of the Pitie. 1t is gratifying to
know that in Ryder Street, st. James,
a cubic metre of ar (taken from the
open street) contains only 240 bacteria,
whereas in the Rue Rivoli the same
quantity of ar contains $50. The
superiority of London air as compared
with the air of Paris is shown not only
by its containing fewer bacteria, but
also by the rate of mortality being
smaller. The greater purity or lesser
impurity of the air of London is ac-
counted for by London being nearer
than Paris to the sea, by its covering a
greater extent of ground in proportion
to the population. and by its houses
being newer. Old houses are all, &C..
cording to M. de Parville. haunted by
bacteria and the ghosts of bacteria.
