Excerpt from The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art, Vol. 63: January to June, 1896 It has been given to few to make so many discoveries of practical impor tance, after any one of which it might have been said he has deserved well of his country and paid his debt to man kind. He reformed the practice of vinegar-making and brewing, cured wine of its disorders, saved the silk industry not of France alone but of Europe, and showed how to drive out or to tame the germs of some of the most formidable diseases. But from the first, when he studied tartrates, to the last, when he wrestled with hydro phobia, his labors had two aspects practical importance and speculative interest; and while we recognize that no man of science has been of greater economic service to his country, we must not forget how he changed the whole theory of fermentation, and played at least an important part in establishing the germ theory of disease.

Excerpt from The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art: January to May, 1850 If we understand Dr. Knox s theory, it is that men were originally created of differing races, like the wild animals, and that how ever they may mingle ia marriage, there is a constant tendency for the mixed race to die off, and the races to revert to their original types. More than this, he assumes that these original types are constantly disappear ing, if we may judge from his words: All things seem to move in cycles; races suc ceed races on the stage of the wor.

Excerpt from The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art: September to December, 1851 Theend of the train stretched beyond the signal-post. It was but two minutes exposed, but that was enough another train coming up with unconscious rapidity, dashed into it. The precaution, which would have averted the collision, was the sending a man back with a hand but there was no one to do this duty. N fact, the few oficers present, - the break-headsman, guard, and engine man, - had a fearful press of business and responsibility thrown on them and they found themselves without definite instructions, un der circumstances for which, indeed, they had not sufficient official strength, however fully they might have been instructed. It would seem, rom the inspector's Re rt that the driver wished a pointsman to ta e a sig nal, but the man said he had other things to do. He then directed his fireman to go and tell the guard to go back with a signal. Whilst the fireman was in the act of going to tell the guard to go back, the train drawn by Brown's en ine came in sight from around the curve, an the crash took place. Could any jury convict the driver, who had asked, first, the pointsman, and then the fireman to tell the guard to o with a signal or the pointsman, who h other thin s to do; or the fireman, who could not finds the guard in an instant; or the guard, who was not told or even the driver of the advancing train, who, in unconscious security, was coming up very fast? This tragedy occurred in August, 1856. Within two months we find the same story repeated, in everything but its bloody conclusion; and this was averted only by the skill and carefulness of the driver of the assaultin train. At Woodlesford, on the Midland ine, an excursion train was detained. The weather was very f gy, and the train stretched 160 yards beyon the signal being thus unprotected by it, when another train came up. The driver was proceeding with extreme caution, and the collision was slight; but it might have been more deadly even than that of Cowlairs.
