In experiments by Prof. Buchner,
cultures of typhoid and other bacilli
placed in water were completely de-
stroyed in three hours by bright sun
light, and rapidly reduced even by
diffuse daylight, although they rapid
ly increased in the dark. To deter
mine the depth at which this bacteri-
cidal action of light ceases, partially
exposed cultures of different bacteria
were sunk in Starnberger Lake, near
Munich. At three yards below the
surface the retarding effect was only
just perceptible, although it was
shown, ten years ago, that light pene-
trates in water-at least in the Lake
of Geneva-to depths as great as 1876
yards. 1t is apparent, therefore, that
the effect of sunlight in purifying riv-
ers has been over estimated, and is
confined to the surface.

For some time past thieves have been
committing depredations on the hen
coops in various portions of tine West
Side, but all efforts to bring the perpe-
traitors to Justice have failed. At an
early hour yesterday morning thieves
visited the roosts of John Buckley on
North Sumner avenue and stole eight
of the fowls. When Mrs. Buckley
! went to the coop for the purpose OF
feeding the hens, she was greatly sur
prised on finding a large pool of blood
and the heads of several chickens
strewn about.
The thieves entered through back
gate, as the marks Of u large pair of
boots are imprinted in the snow. Other
footprints show where they had tried to
yet in through the side Of the shed.
The marauders must have carried bag
to put the fowls in as there would
| otherwise been trail of blood from
the several necks. No clue has been
obtained as to who the doers of the
mischief are.
