NEWS AND SUNDRIES, 
Pasteur Institute. —The Paris Conseil municipal has ceded 
to the Society of the Institute Pasteur for ninety-nine years the 
ground upon which the institute is built. The following official 
statement has just been made: The whole number of persons 
treated by Pasteur is 1,656 (of these, 15 have died) ; 1,009 of 
these were French (3 of them died); 182, including 50 bitten by 
rabid wolves, were Russians (3 of these bitten by dogs, and 8 by 
wolves, have died); 20 were from Roumania, with 1 death; of 
the others, 59 were from England, 17 from Austria, 74 from 
Algeria, 18 from America, 2 from Brazil, 42 from Belgium, 58 
from Spain, 7 from Greece, 8 from Holland, 25 from Hungary, 
105 from Italy, 20 from Portugal, 2 from Turkey, and 2 from 
Switzerland (of all these, not one has as yet died; the total mor¬ 
tality, therefore, is less than one per cent.,—a most striking com¬ 
mentary upon the views of those who declare Pasteur’s methods

chosen for the seat of operation. The dogs were carefully 7 selected 
as being totally free from bites by other dogs which might have 
been suffering from rabies. The inoculation wounds healed after 
two days, and the dogs seemed quite healthy and lively. The 
sixteenth day after the operation two of them showed symptoms
