Pasteur’s Investigations.

In his address on Pasteur before the French Academy, Gaston Paris, the new member, said that the scientist used often to leave the table In the middle of dinner and his bed at night in order to elaborate an Idea that had been fermented in his brain. Referring to Pasteur's rise from an humble place in a village drug stone, M. Paris said that his audacity in the choice of subjects for investigation was extraordinary, and that even in Ills youth he astonished his companions by his eagerness to soar beyond the limits of known science aud by attacking problems which the greatest savants had not attempted to solve.
