Prof Henry F. Formal, OF the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, in his lecture last
evening at the Franklin Institute on
"Germs and Their Influence on Health,
developed an entirely new system OF water
analysis by which the precise nature Of
organic impurities can be determined. The
plan is the capture of bacili in water.
After they have been secured their nature
is ascertained by color, form and other
characteristics Then the analyst deter
mines what species of organic impurity
those par ticular bacilli live on and the
presence of the organic impurity that the
bacilli affect is thus deduced.
On this plan Prof. Formal has lately
been analyzing the water of the Schuylkill
River, and he says that his results are per-
tectly satisfactory. The lecturer last even
ing had before him q dozen finger glasses
on which there were exposed potatoes sliced
in half. On the fat sides of the half po-
batoes were patches ofbacilli and bacteria.
They look like daubs of paint The colors
were fine browns, reds, handsome yellows
and pure whites. There were, too, few
Jars containing the bacteria of lung and
other diseases. Pots of gelatine crowded
with invisible microbes and test tubes full
Of the spores of germs that appear in chol-
era and other complaints were also shown.
The lecturer said:
"This is very large subject, and one on a
lew of whose branches I can barely touch.

nymph of ancient myths sequestered in
some sylvan shade.
This maid so rare, with golden hair, and mod

man of learned lore and caught him in
her witching snare.
This man Of thought and learned lore, his
hair he tore, and DER and o or he loudly

Now they are wed in his library hooks among

tours claims are not consistent with sci
ence. Hydrophobia is not blood disease,
and can rot be cured by incubation. 1t is
probably produced by an injury to the
nerve. It is difficult to tell it from tetanus
or lock-jaw.

DiPHTHERlA MICRO GAS to cholera and
CocCi- it's germs. Well we
had none here last summer. don't think
we need fear it until it has spread seriously
in Germany and England. The cause of
cholera is ptomain, a substance in the
nature of a cadaver poison. 1t is eminently
a filth disease, and it is distributable
through the medium of drinking water,
it's Chief means of getting into
the body being by the aimentary
canal. If one case appeared in Manayunk
it is likely that the whole city would suffer
through its water supply. In pure water
we have few or no bacteria. The test for
bacteria is a test for organic substances.
Water put on a potato to develop bacteria
should contain organic matter. The guam
tity and variety of bacteria found in water
will indicate what quantity and kind of or
ganic substances there are in it. The bac-
terra are there because there is some
thing impure for them to live upon. Bac-
terra are harmless. I've swallowed many
of them. They are a frst-class food. Think

BACILLI WITH SPORES. sands of them can find
ample room in single drop of water. Their
weight is so small that to express it you
would use up pot of ink in writing down
your fractions. They are vegetable, and
their constitution does not differ much
from that of cabbage. Although plants,
many of them are endowed with little pro-
pellers, by means of which they move.
Their motion appears, although they have
no brains or senses, to be a hunt for food.
"There are four chiefforms of these germs.
There are round ones called micrOcOcci,
elongated ones called bacteria, longer ones
known as bacili and spiral, screw-like ones
answering to the names OF screw bacteria
Q spirilh. Then there are big ones called
myceial fungi which belong to the molds.
Bacteria are found absolutely every
where. The air in this room contains
plenty. 1t is approximated that there are
two hundred bacteria to every cubic meter
of air. There is no substance at all in which
they are not present, except in oils, metals
and acids. There are multitudes on our
bodies and inside them. Different kinds of
bacteria grow best on different soils, just
as watermelons grow well in Jersey and
some weeds flourish best on q sandy soil.
