LECTURE ON MICROBES.
Prof. A. J. McOlatohie gave the SOC
ond of his lectures upon Useful and
Harmful Micro-orgsnisms in the uni
versity extension course, at the Uni
versalist church last evening. A ehorl
review was made of the points covered
in the lecture of tho 9th, but the greater
pert OF the lecture WAS entirely new.
The general character OF bacteria wal
first taken up; the first Of this species
having been discovered py Dutch lense
maker 90 early ss 1876. They were ai
first considered animals, but scientists
now agree that they belong to the vege-
table Kingdom. being q species OF plant.
The conditions under which they thrive
were reviewed and the agents that kill
or retard their growth shown. Extreme
cold, below 80 degrees, is usually suffi-
cient. Dry and moist heat from 150 to
800 degrees will also do the work. Sun.
light is also an enemy, while any num-
ber of chemicals are efficient, the most
common being corrosive sublimate,
nitrate OF silver, carbolic acid, chloride
of lime, chloride OF zinc, blue vitriol,
salicylio acid, iodoform, alum, creosote
and salt. All micro.organisms. how
ever, are not harmful, and among the
useful species we're named yeast plants
and bacteria causing fermentation bsc-
teria that "ripen" cream, bacteria that
favor cheese, bacteria in roots of legu-
minous plants. bacteria OF decay. The
lecture throughout was very interesting
and was listened to sttentively by a
large audience. Prof. McClatchie will
give another on the same subject soon.
