It will interest yone scientific societies to learn that the Peking soil is suspected of gontaining valuable chemical anlatanges which osy be, pre- fitably utilized. There is reason to believe the health statistics of this city would compare ricet favourably with many western oities of equal size, notwithstanding the peculiar habits of tho Deople. This is the more extraordinary_when_ve consider the antiquity of the city and its numor. ous population as well as the fact that on us. count of its difonlty of access, the only addi tions to the soil have been the email qeontitiss the winds blow over its high walls. It may therefore be contander that Paking affords one. of the more conclusive practical examples of the disinfectant properties of earth.
