Pasteur-Chamberland filter (b) with a glass mantle (a), a rubber stopper (c) through which passes the filter, a oonnectirg rubber tubing (d), glass tubing (e), a perforated rubber stopper (f), a vacuum jar (g), designed by the writer, in which is placed a cotton-stoppered and steril. ized flask, a glass stopcock (h), a vacuum gauge (i), a reservoir (m) with pressure-rubber connections (j), and a vacuum pump <k). (Original.) by means of a partial vacuum ia an apparatus devised for this pur- pose. Filtrates obtained from this filter when f ed'to healthy colonies produced the disease. Since the virus of sacbrood will pass through 1 The Pasteur-Chamberland filter consists of clay molded in the form of a hollow cylinder and baked. This is used "with a glass cylinder (a) fitted with a rubber stopper (c). In the use of this filter, force is employed. This was obtained for these experiments throiigh the use of a jar (g) devised by the writer in which a partial vacuum can be produced. In this jar. Is placed a Bask plugged with cotton and sterilized. Connections are made as shown in the illustration, the vacuum being produced through the use of the pump (k). In less than half an hour usually a half-pint of filtrate can be obtained with this apparatus..
