CANADIAN VISITATIONS IN THE PAST.
PAST YItITATIONS IN CANADA.
The London Free Press says : It is now
msny years since cholera visited Canada,
but in pest times it has claimed many hun-
dreds of viotime, in thie country. The
years 1632, 1834 and again in 1848 and
1856 were marked by fatal and
alarming visitations, when the death
cart, with its little yellow flag, was
a familiar object in the streets of our
cities, when fires of tar were kept burning
in hoist of dwelliugs, end gunpowder was
discharged in great quantities from :saline's
as a disinfecting agent. Dr. Fenwiok, of
this city, who passed through two or three
A the epidemiee referred to, speaks confi-
dently of the theory thet the disease is
atmoapherio. Inveetigaters of the period
at Queheo tested this pointby sending up
small pieoes of meat fastened to captive
balloons, quite out ot the reach, as sup-
posed, of any impurity connected with the
ground. When these came down they were
found to be exoteseiVelV putrid, :showing, as
was claimed, the existence of the disease
germ in the atmosphere. Another reason
why the cholera was thought to be in the
air was in the fact that even the raftemen
far up the river Ottawa and other lumber
-regions were stricken down with it.
On April 30th fatal cases of cholera
occurred on the British troopship Cr000dile,
from Bombay, as she was entering the port
of Plymouth, England. The cable has
been recently quite silent as to the drivel.
.?stipteient of any new oeses at Plymouth.
All investigations of cholera epidemics
appear clearly to show; as a prominent
authority say, that the prime factor of
its outbreak is " the introduction into the
locality of the specific infecting matter,
s being accomplished in general by the
arrival A infected persons." Theories
have been propounded to account for the
extension of cholera by the prevalence of
abnormal atmospheric conditions. High
temperature, it is stated, favors the spread
of the disease, and so far as excessive heat
debilitates the system or aids in vitieting
the atmosphere thio no doubt fif true. But
it is well known that some Ape most fatal
cholera epidemics have raged through
rigorous winters.
A Washington correspondent telegraphs:
In the oourse of a conversation upon the
subject Surgeon.General Hamilton said
tbat he did not believe that the cholera,
reported to have appeared at Toulon, would
extend beyond the controlaof the French
health officers. I. had probably been
brought from Egyptin the troop ships
returning to France from that Muntry.
There was little danger of a direct •im-
portation of the disease from Egypt into
Use United States' for the reason that our
imports from thatcountry are confined to
rags, which are rigidly inspected by Gov-
ernment officers. The Surgeon -General
added that cholera was, of all diseases,
perhaps the most difficult to quarantine
against, and looahtes threatened by it
should adopt every preoaution in the way
of perfeot cleanliness and attention to
hygienic conditions. -

THE ORIGIN OF THE EPIDEMIC. .•
In an interview with M. 1%ateur, the
famous French medical investigator, yes-
terday, a correspondent said : All 'medical
authorities who have been consulted,
among them Sir William Gull, of London,
agreed in ridiculing the idea that quaran-
tine is efficacious be stopping cholera.
M. Pasteur replied: All the French
faculty are absolutely of the opposite
opinion. The English have e happy knack
of defending theories convenient -to them
and their commerce. It as universally
reoognized that the cholera • has been
imported from India, though the English
doctors commissioned to investigate the
matter report that it originated last year in
Egypt. • What does Sir. William Gull know
about cholera? He is merely Court phy-
sician. Besides, I don't believe that the
English dootors would dare stick to their
theories now.
Correspondent -Admitting your'views to
be correot, would it not be in logical order
for the quarantine • laws to be applied to
towns where the (Melees is raking, juet as
in the case of :Mips'? .
M. Pasteur -That would .be a return to
the barbarism of the Middle Ages and an
outrage on modern ideas of individual
liberty.
Correspondent -Do you think thadisease
walla:Tread very far?
M. Peskier -4f it be the real Asiatic
cholera, about wheal we :Mall know more
to -morrow, it will spread all over France,
doubtless, but with -what degree of vim.
lence a is impossible to say. The old -
tangled notion that such and such diseasee
always rage with the earne intensity has
been exploded. The virus may be of any
degree of intensity, from zero upward. I
have in these (pointing to hie laboratory)
rabies virus almost imarcaoue, and game
infinitely more terrible than that doge die
of. This outbreak may poesibly he a weak
one.

TUE MOON INHABITED.

At the astronomical observatory of Ber-
lin, says a translation from Nya Pressen
Hasingfor, a • disoevery has lately been
made winch, without doubt, will 0M1130 the
greateet :sensation, not only among the
adepts in :science, but even among the moat
learned, Prof. Blendmanu, in that city,
has found, beyond a doubt, that our old
friend, the moon, is not a mere lantern
which kindly furnishes light for the loving
youth and gee companies of our planet, but
the abode of living, intelligent beings, for
which he is prepared to furnish proofe most
convincing. The 4uestion has agitated hu-
manity trom time immemorial, and has
been the objeot of the- greatest interest.
But the %intone have always differedvery
widely, and no two minds lield one and
the some. Already ite ancient times
the belief prevailed that . the moon vsetear"
inhabited by some higher organized, intel-
ligent beings, somewhat resembling man,
and in order to communicate with them
the earthly enthueiast planted !owe of
trees several miles in length so as to form
the figure of the Pythagorean theorem.
The oelebreted alaronerrier Schroder, in
the beginning of the present century
faboied that he could detect place on the
outface of the moon which periodically
grew lighter and darker, and from this
fact ' he derived the conclusion that the
phenomenon was the proof of existing
vegetation. During the last few decades,.
however, the • idea, of life on the moon has
been held up, to ridicule, and totally
scorned by men of learning. But, never-
theless, it has now been prove a to lie oora
rect. By 'accident Dr. Blendmann found
that the observations of the moon gave but
very unsatisfactory results, owing to the
--intensity of the light power of the moon's
atmosphere, which is that strong that it
affects the correctness of the observations
in a very high degree, He then
conceived the Kea to make the
object -glass of the refractor lees sensitive
to the rays of light,and for that purpose he
darkened. it with the smoke of camphor. It
took months 'of experimenting before he
succeeded in finding his right degree of
obscurity of the glass, and when finally
foetal he then with the refractor took a
very accurate photo of the moon's surf:a:ea
This,he.placed in a sun mieroseope, whirat
gave the picture a,diameter of 551 feet. The
revelation was most startling. It perfectly
overturned all hitherto entertained ideas
of the moon's :surface. Those level pleans
which formerly were held to be oceans of
water proved to be verdant fielde, and what
formerly were coneidered mountains turned
out as deserts A Rand and oceans of water.
Towns and habitations of all kinds were
plainly 'discernible, as wellas signs of in-
dustry and traffic,. The leerned prefers:sox%
study and observations of old Luna will be
repeated every full moon when 'the sky is
clear, and we venture to predict that the
time is not far off when we shall know more
about the man in the moon than as being
an agent in English polities.
