LIFE IN THE AIR.
Results of Investigation Regarding Aerfa
Micro Organisms.

Results of Investigation Regarding Aerial
Micro Organisms.
Micro-organisms are dust-like parti-
,les capable of cultivation or reproduc-
ton in certain media, and at certain
temperatures, and these are scattered
everywhere in the air. DR.. Miguel, At
the Montsouris observatory, at Pans,
has made an extensive inquiry into
their distribution in air and water,
while in this country DR.. Percy Frank
lin has also Investigated the subject
with commendable persistence. The
result of these inquiries is that in cold
weather, especially when the ground is
covered with snow, the number of or
ganisms in the air is very much re-
duced, and presents striking contrast
with that found in warm weather.
Experiments made on March 9 show
that during dry, cold weather, with a
strong east wind blowing over London,
large number of micro organisms may
still be present in the air. 1t is par
ticularly noticeable that after heavy
shower, and within few hours after
ward, the number of micro-organisms
in the air should be as abundant as
usual. Taking an average of the ex-
periments made on the roof of the sci
ence schools of the South Kensington
museum, the mean number of organ
isms found in liter Of air amounted to
thirty-fve, while an average of S79 fell
on one square foot in one minute.
Other experiments made near Rel
gate, and in the vicinity of Norwich
present q marked contrast with those
made in South Kensington. There wa:
remarkable freedom from micro-or
ganisms of the air collected on thu
heath near Norwich during conpara
lively warm weather in April, while thu
air in gardens in Norwich and Reigatt
was richer in organisms than that of th'
open air.
Experiments made in inclosed places
where there is little or no aerial motion
shows the number of suspended organ
isms to be very moderate, but as soon a
any disturbance in the air occurs, from
draughts or people moving about tn
number rapidly increases and may be
come very great. Experiments made il

NEWS FROM MERCURY.

An Astonishing Discovery Made by 1taly's
Most Famous Astronomer.
The smallest and swiftest of the
planets has become an object of intense
interest. Schiaparelli, the eagle-eyed
astronomer of Milan, the discoverer Of
the double canals on Mars, has turned
his eager gaze on Mercury, and made
an astonishing discovery. He announces
that the suns nearest neighbor turns
once on his axis while revolving round
the sun, just as the moon turns once on
her axis while revolving round the
earth.
As it takes Mercury eighty-eight days
to make his circuit round the sun, it re-
quires the same time for his rotation on
his axis. 1t follows that he turns always
the same face toward the sun, as the
moon turns always the same face to the
earth, completing her rotation in about
twenty-seven days.
Schiaparelli not only makes this an
nouncement, but confirms it by what to
him seems abundant proof. He has
been observing the planet for seven
years--since 1ss2-making his observa-
tions by daylight, and has obtained one
hundred and fifty drawings of the
planet. The markings or linear spots
on the planets disc are permanent; they
have not changed during the seven
years.
The markings are so faint and delicate
that they are perceptible only to an oh.
server endowed with exceptional visual
power intensified by long practice, and
assisted by a fine telescope. These con-
ditions unite in Schiaparelli, and, what
is equally essential, the sky over Milan
is clear, and the atmosphere compare.
lively steady and free from vapor, while
the astronomers enthusiasm for his
| favorite science knows no bounds.
If these observations are correct what
| wonderful world Mercury must be,
with one hemisphere basking in per
petual sunshine, and the other dooome0
! to perpetual darkness. Mercury is
sometimes fourteen million miles nearer
the sun than at other times. This co
centricity of his orbit causes a grea'
libration in longitude: the planet os
cilates or swings % deg. Al min. on the
east and on the west of its illumined
side, bringing these regions into alter
nate light and darkness.
An enormously high temperature
must reign in the central part of the il
lumined side, with the sun, pouring
down from the zenith from four and
half to ten and half times the light
and heat received by the earth at the
summer solstice-a sun, too, that never
sets. Eternal midnight holds sway OF
the opposite side, and cold more in
tense than that of our poles!-Youth't
