It's universally admitted that many in
feotious agents may be transported by the
air. but the extent of danger from this source
has often been exaggerated. 1t is a popu-
lar error to suppose that most Of the minute
PARTICLES of dust in the air either are or
contain living organisms. The methods
for determining the number and kind of
bacteria and fungi in the air are now thor
oughly satisfactory, although by no means
perfect. These have shown that while the
number Of living bacteria and fungi in the
atmosphere in and around human habitations
cannot be considered small, still it 10 greatly
inferior to that in the ground or in most
waters. Unlike fungus spores, bacteria do
not seem to occur to any extent as single
detached particles, which woul ! then neces-
sarily be extremely minute. but rather
in clumps or attached to particles of
dust of relatively large size. As
result in perfectly quiet atmos-
phere, these comparatively heavy par.
ticles, which contain bacteria, rapidly settle
to the ground or upon underlying objects,
and are easily filtered out by passing the air
through porous substances such as cotton,
wool or sand. Rain washes down a large
number of bacteria from the air. That the
air bactaria are derived from the ground or
objects upon it is shown by their total alb
sence, as rule, from sea air at q distance
from land, this distance naturally varying
with the strength aud direction of the wind.

Prof r. c. Kedsie. in his lecture wher
president Of the State Board Of Health come
years ago. advised his audience to forego the
pleasure Of decorated walls, or to simply
~hisewa them with lime, rather than stoF
what he terms "wall respiration" by sealing
or strangling the pores in the plaster with
paste and paper. kalsomine or paint. He
illustrated to his audience. by means
Of blow pipes hlled With dry mortar
and some coated with paper, others
with paint and kalsomine, how
readily air passes through walls Of ordinary
mortar and with stucco flush. and when
simply white washed. and how this wall res
piration was prevented by all other modes.
That air passes through walls is proven BY
the dust and marks seen on plastered walls,
or those that have been only ~hitewa washed
and alabastined. indicating the spaces be-
tween the lathing caused by the dust being
filtered from the air more between the laths
than on them.
