They suggest that water vapour might alsorb the blue and violet rays på sunlight, refencing the fanpiliar red of the darkened moon. The complete dis- appearance of the moon, may be due to Copacity of our atmosphere from much vol. canie dust; and blue may be light passing. through our dry upper air, where ozone would tend to cut out the rod.

foron a real danger, however, and, while they may be killed ir 20 minutts when exposed to the sun's rays, they are fostered in shaded and filthy places. The risks of the street are indicated by the fact that one-third of the 5,000 stroot cleaners of New York are infected with tuberculosis, the number being greater among workers in the narrow and dirty streets of the East Side. Even sterile dust may promote tuberculosis, as it is a direct irritant, lacerating the air passages, and thus making thenr. Jess able to resist the planting and growth of the germs when they arrive. The great danger the sidewalks-which from spitting on should be everywhere suppressed--lies in the fact that sputum may be so easily, carried into our homes on shoes and skirts. Smoke in the air tends to disease by clogging the the anti-smoke air-passages, and since crusade began in 1845.
