Some remarkable observations on the

| lovgevity of germs in dust have been re- | corded by Dr. Miguel a French biologist.

In i881 some earth was taken from a

| depth of ten inches in Montsouris Park, dried for two days at 30° C., and then put

| away in adark corner of tbe laboratory, | first being hermetically sealed in tubes, | Ou recently opening the tubes, afier six-

teen years, it was found that the dust atill contained 3,500,000 microbes per gramme,

the original number in the soil haying been but 6,590,000 per gramm, which the drying reduced to rather less than 4,000, (000. From the surviying bacteria the tetauus microbe was isolated, and so won derful was ite vitality that it caused death in guinea pigs afier an incubation period of two days,

Curious effects of a magnetic Geld upon electric discharges have been described by a Germanelectrician.

The sounde produced by tapping the surface of the body with the fivger are dull if a compact organ, like the beart or liver, 1s underneath, but sonorous if the organ is light and full of gas,: like the lusgs or stomach. To enable the ordinary ear to detect the character of these sounds when the d'fference is slight, Drs. Bianchil and Bazzi nave devised a new apparatus called the phonendoscope. This 60 magnifies the sound tbat the phys- ician is able to trace the outlines ot the organs resting egainst the external envelope of the body, and to mark them in chalk upon the tkio. The orgaua are heard in a living and moving state, They are in perpetual motion, and ‘heir position and shape are not those seen in the cadaver brut are continually changing according to the position and condition of the Loay. Abnormal cordition as well as size of the organ may be indicated, pneumonia, for instance, giving adull sound to the lang. Digestion may be studied as never before, and drawings cfthe stomach by means of the phonendoscope have already shown by the varying distention that liquids pass much more slowly from that organ than was formerily supposed, and that dyapeptics ebould drink ordinary water, with little of the beverages—euch a3 seltzer water and beer—that expand the stomach by gas.

A green plant of Malvastrum capense on which a varie- gated abutilon had been grafted produced variegated shoots below the graft, while a gieen plant of Kitiabelia grafted on a variegated abutilon became variegated and gave vigorous cuttings which remained variegated when grown.

A mixture of acetylene with oil gas, in the proportion of one to three, hax been adopted on the Prussian state railways for lighting cars. Experiments have proven the mixture to be safe, with much greater illumiaating power than oi] gas alone, and it can be used without avy change in tbe gas holders or burners now employed.
