A Noted BacterioIoRist.

DR.. Giuseppe Sanarelli, who recently
discovered the bacillus of yellow fever,
is not yet 30 years of age. and has been
at the head of the MOntevideO Institute
of Experimental! Hygiene little over
a year. He took his degree at the Uni
versity of Siena in 1889, then studied
In Germany and at the Pasteur Insti-
tutsin Paris, and first came into notice
by his success In isolating the bibriO Of
cholera In the drinking water OF Paris,
and his demonstrate ton that 1t was COM
paratiyely harmless. He was appointed
to a professorshlp at Slena, which he
left, owing to the larger salary and
greater opportunities offered him by
the University of Montevideo. 1t Is
expected that his discovery will be fol-
lowed by that of the means OF destroy

DR.. Ouinn's Lecture.

The civilization and culture which ripened
on Grecian soil in the fifth century before
Christ has never ceased to have its nflu-
ence on the world. When Greece herself
fell under Macedonian power, the Macedon-
ian soldiers adopted the language and cul-
ture OF Athens, this language and culture
common to all the civilized peoples of west
ern Asia and of Egypt. Later the Romans
adopted this Greek civilization. and spread
it over Italy and the west. Then Chris
tiaEity adopted the Greek language for
the sacred books, and used Greek philoso-
ply as medium through which to reach
her doctrines. Thus has Greek civilza-
ton come down to US, and, though we may
not be conscious of the fact, yet we ex-
hibit but the latent phase of that civiiza-
ton, which three thousand years ago -four
ished on the banks of the Ilissos. Yet there
lives on the banks of that historic stream
the true descendants of the Greeks of
Themistnkles and Demoshenes They at
present need our aid They are at Mara
thon and Salamis, willing to perish, but
not to live in dishonor. DIR. Quinns lee
