an enemy to life of every sort, but
data just furnished to the Pasteur

cIusively that the intense cold of the
South Polar regions still allows vari-
Gus forms of microscopic life to
flourish. On examining the intesrines
of animals, twenty -four different
kinds of microbes we're found and OF
these fifteen were varieties already
