Marvellous Fecundity.

The reproductive powers of many
bacteria is SO marvellous as to be al
most beyond belief. Prof. Law has ex,
pcrimcnted with several different forms
which were capable of doubling their
number every hour. When in the best
condition single bacterium will give
1G, 200 individuals in the short space
of twenty-four hours. In forty-eight
hours the offspring from germ not
measuring more than the one-fifteen-
thousandth of an inch will have in
creased until the bulk cannot be put in
a half-pint measure, the total number
of individuals then exceeding 2S1, $780,.
100000. If these deductions are correct
land scientists have proved that they
are, as near as such figures can possibly
;bc from the very nature of the expert!
'mcnt,) is it any wonder that bacterial
diseases are so difficult to control?

Bank Street Will be Widened and
Burnham Street Opened.
The contract between the New Eng
land road and the city for q 4S foot
bridge at the Bank street crossing, was
signed by Mayor Baldwin and the other
city officials this morning.
Several days ago Attorney Terry,
representing the New England road,
presented a contract that did not meet
with the approval of Mayor Baldwin or
City Engineer Cairns. The form of
contract was such that the city would
be put to great expense in assessing land
damages. The mayor saw that certain
changes.in the street would also have to
be made and this would cause much in
convenience as we'll as make additional
expense. To-day Attorney Terry
offered another contract without the OBJ
jectionable features and it was accepted.
By the agreement the work will be
completed this year. Two very danger
GUS grade crossings, Bank and Durham
streets, will thus be eliminated.
