A GLASS DISEASE.
From The Lancet.


A peculiar "glass disease has broken out
among the windows of York Cathedral Some of
the thirteenth and fourteenth century glass in
the edifice has been removed in order TO arrest
the disease" The outbreak is ascribed to
fungus. The glass appears to be perforated to
such extent that portions of the glass yield
on the slightest touch. Moreover the tTanspar-
ency of the glass has to a great extent disap
peared-in short, the glass here and there eX-
hibits longer the properties of glass 1t is
evident that some kind of chemical action has
been established, due. perhaps, to the life and
habits of a specific fungus Organisms are
known of course, which assimilate silica, for the
vast deposits of pure silica occurring in a very
fine state of division in various parts Of Ger
many consist of the scales of extinct diatom-
aceSe.
Some years ago drew attention to the dis
integra ting powers possessed by certain species
of bacteria which attack even the hardest
cement with success. The gradual but sure
crumbling of the cement used in water reSer-
Voirs mas been traced to the operation of count
less tiny organisms. The action was at first
garded as being due to the solvent property of
carbonic acid and other substances commonly
present In water. Under the action of the baC-
terra the cement slowly resolved into soft mud.
The action in the absence of nitrifab bic
material and the view is that nitrous acid is
produced which acts upon the cement lining of
the water reservoir Clearly the destructive po-
tentialities of low forms of life great, both
for good and for evil
