tion, and may even reduce a portion or the
nitrates or sulphates present. The infusoriae
which' are oftentimes found in water, and
which disengage osygenr abound especially in-
warm weather, consequently the waters exercise
only a feeble dissolving action on the oxygen
of the atmosphere. The alkaline muriates con
tained m water, attack lead only when these

the presence of 6alts diminishes the action of
water on the lead, inasmuch as they weaken
the affinity of the water for air and saline sub-
stances. Lead is covered with a more or less
thick coating in allfwateis, sometimes this layer
or coating is fonned- of a suboxide of lead, in-
soluble hwwater or saline solutions At Other
times the coating is due to a hiffhec- oxide,
which, in uniting. with water and carboniciaeid,

Christians, and it vvas in the Third Persecu-
tion of ihe latter, that bo' caused Ingnatius to

upon the Partb.ia.t13, and suspecting the Jews
to be favorable, to them, - and disaffected

He exclaimed, when dying, "The Loid is -1

of Hadrian was placed, and at the gate of
1 Bethlehem, the statue of a hog was elected as
an insult "to the Jewish people. Hadrian
decided that the Jaws vveio never more to

be ordained and further, if "a Rabbi, were 1
ordained in lhaL city, that city should be de-
stroyed. After detailing Several eveuts ofth'e ! "

Jewish Chronicles as the compiler of tho
Mihna. The Doctor refencd his hearers to
1 4he difleience of sects described in a former
lecture one party favoring' the" oral, th'e'
other , the written law. The Scribes and"'
Pharises advocated the written law, which "
says: ''The Scribes and Pharisees sit In -Ihe '

his disciples, aud these Rabbis becoming1 jt he

sible of this, sought to destroy the teachers.

law tliereon-t-lheo sacrifices and litual of the
Temple and of purification. 'These six J '
heads ror orders were subdivided ihto sixty-
three treaties; and the Jews thus possessed
a complete code and record in this volume, of
the laws-jaiifl custums Tor 500 years before
its compilation, and 2 000 years before the
present time. One1 great object in this code, .
was lo draw a line of distinction1 between' the
Synagogue and the Church for as Chris-
tianity progressed, the two became on some
points,? intermingled. In -'the beginning jof

The Mishna rondel ed rather a1 fatal servicc'to r
the Jews'; for 'So long' as the series abd
