M. Pasteur read to hls colleagues a paper seat iin by M. Nicolas Gamaleia, chief of the Odessa Pasteurlan laboratory. Its tlle is “On Preventive Vaccina- ton for Astatic Cholera.” Tue young author of thls paper commences by declaring that iis metbod 4s a sunple and faituful appiicadion of M. Pas- Veur's general principles, “ihe writer souglit, 11 the first imstauce, to ascertain tbe progressive power of the cholerale virus, He obtained it Unrough the medium of the guinea pig, which ren- dered it mortal for pigeous.” After biiving passed through a few pigeons it acquired such virulence that other pigeons and guinea pigs inoculated with Uhe blood of the last bird dieu of cholera in less than a day. After these experiments the question Was Uc mike of Uhat virus a preventive vaccine for cholera. M. Gatalela had already establisied by experiments (nat @ pigeon inoculated twice With ordinary Virus of cholera was proof against the more poweriul virus. He then bad the idea of cul- tivating that Virus in a bron, which he ratsed to the Lemiperature of 120 degrees, The heating had tue effect of sterilizing the euluvated broth and of substituting for tue baclil! an extremely ac- tive matter Which, inoculated in a sirong dose, killed a guinea pig tn twenty-tour uours. ‘The same result was obtained on pigeons, buL when, instead of tnoculaving with a singie strong dose, ‘M. Gamalela had recourse to progressive inocula Uon, the animals inoculated became proof agulnst a virulent tnecuiation. ‘Tne discovery constitutes @ real method of preventive vaccination siuailar to | M. Pasteur’s treatment for rables, M. Gamalela’s | ‘hod 1s already of constant efficacy as regards autmals, and (uere is every reason to believe It Will prove equally effective tn man. M. Pasieur announced that the Russian savant intended com. ing to Parts to repeat his experimentsin presence of ch colleagues in the laboratory of une Rue d’Ulm, and, vo show his faith, he proposed at- tempiug uis Orst buman experiment upon biin- seul. Alter Luls he would seek Infected climes to fight the scourge On the spot. Ab the request of MM. Pasteur te paper Was reerred to the commit tee of the Breant prize, the value of which is 200,000 fraucs. It was urrdnged Chat a commitiee, ‘coinpused 01 Lhe sections of medicine and surgery and M.

An Artist:—Tue popular idea of bow the war cy- cloramas, like the batue of Gettysburg, battle of Suiloh, battle of Chickamauga, &., are painted, appears very laughable to @ person who knows how tue work 18 accomplished. The battie ot Get- tysburg and the Siege of Paris have been shown severai years on oppotite sides of Hubbard court, tn Chicago, and the stock paid large dividends. Buch was advertised as work of celebrated French artists,{ather and son,and tue popular idea 1s that Ubese gentlemen paluted them. “Tue fact is wal, beyond a general outiining of the work, which was probably taitnfully mnade after maps procured from authenuc sources, and a general direction of the plan of the work, Ube artisi-in-chiet had very ue todo With it. No man engaged in a batile Secs It, and ap accurate painting of two armies in combat Js umpossibie, “Tue general features only are own.
