Prof. Louis Pasteur, the distinguished chemi-t and discoverer of tho Pa-steur treat ment for the cure of rabies, died in Taris S itur-lay. His death was caused by paralysis. Louis Pasteur was t-orn at Dole, Jura December 27, 1S22, where his father, aa eld, soldier of tho ilrst Empire, followed tho bus iness of a tanner. Young Pasteur entered the Ecole Normaho la 1813, took the degree of doctor iu 1817, and was appointed assistant professor ol physieg at Sirusl-urg in Ho had al ready begun to devote himself to chemistry and had also become a j-rolicient in molecular physios. In 1S51 herein oved to Lille as dean of tho faculty of sciences. Tho staple indus try of tho town was distilling and, in view of this fact, whilo still an enthusiast in molecu lar physics ho devoted some of his lectures to to the subject of fermentation. During the next few years spontaneous generation, wine, vinegar, the siii worm disease, splenic fever, chlekenpox, cholera and hydrophobia re ceived his attention. But his discovery that an attenuated virus of the eplenic fevej (wool sorter's disease) If used as lnooulatlng matter, could produce so mild a form ol thia plague that it protected the animals from a mere severe attack and he saved millions to graziers. His discovery that inoculating a person bitten by a mad dog with an attenuated virus of the person produciagrabbies, acts in such a way that tho original poison seems neu tralised and the patient recovers, has almost revolutionized ono section of medicine. The Royal Society of Lonuon awarded Pasteur the IJumford medal In 1856 for his his researches relative to the polarization of light, cel. lie received the decoration of the Legion of Honor, and in 1S7S he became a grand officer of that order. He was received iuto the Trench Academv in 1832 as successor to M. Lit! re. In 1'J2 the cholera epidemic led M. Tasteur to mate experiments in anti-choleraic vacci nation whi'di wore successful in the case of animals. A largo hospital and laboratory for the treatment of hyurophobia under the Tasteur system was erected in Paris by pub lie subscription, the municipality of Paris al so contributing to the fund. M. Pasteur re e. ived nil honors, not only from his own.but from many foreign count les. Orders, decoration- and other honorary diplomas were -ocb rred up-m him by almost every civil ised eountry in tho worid. In his.b-ath Trance loses one of tho great est -.-ns she possessed, Judged by results. Ho v. a-n-vt-r a theorist, such as Trof. Koch, with his ly:upet for the FO-ealled cure of eoiismnpuon. What Pasteur gave to the world was always perfect in its own way, and the results were never l"ss and frequently more than he claimed. Eminently practical in all his studies the real amount he contrib uted to tho goo I of huoj-jnity is enormous, merely ealculated from a money standpoint, and yet Pa.-tcur dies with but a moderate for tune". Put leaving a name second to none on t roll of fame. Prof. Huxley thought his achievements an 0'ial intcon--y value to the whole 5.000,000, 000 frncs indemnity paid to Germany on ac count of the war of 1870. Tin: Ki'Tr.cT of thi: nr.our.iiT.
