PHOSPHORESCENT INFECTION.
The curious discovery has been made that the plophorszoonos frequently exhibited by the rusincea is intentious. A French naturalist, M. Giard, staly traced the phosphorescent light in Telites and other orastaven to bacteria in the mutes, which showed signs of disease. On ino. culating healthy individuals, the same luminous- appearance was protond. The disease res regular course, and the graines died in three or four days, the phosphorescence lasting a little after death.
