(From the Anylo-An::rican Times) Those only who have tried know the difficully of arousing people to the necessity of ventilating, - their buildings and adopting every available moans in their power of purifying the atmospheres they breathe. The eager answer of a child to th.e ques tion of a schoolmaster is that almost uniformly ginv ain countries well north or south of the. tropics What would be the effect if I open this win. i ' dory' ?" " Why, you would let in the co'.d." To keep out the cold has exercised the ingenuity of all classes, but to let in fresh air is an idea which had suggested itself to but few, though it is difficult to exaggerate its importance. Tee reason is clear enough—cold is at once felt disagreeably, while the pernicious influences of a bad atmosphere are in visible in their immediate results, and when the effect is produced the cause is unseen. Headaches. general debility, sluggishness of mind, torpor, are quickly realised, but few attempt to trace the cause unless that cause be carried to an extreme, such as in the Black Hole in Calcutta, the horrors of the Middle Passage in running a cargo of negroes, or when suffocation follows the battened down hatches of a vessel in a storm. The New York Nation, in an article entitled " Invisible Poison," discusses a series of lectures on ventilation, delivered in the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, by Lewis W. Leeds. After showing how erroneous is the general belief that carbonic acid is the chief impurity in vitiated air, a gas which can be drank not only with impunity in many mineral waters, but with benefit, and which, therefore, people argue, cannot produce lasting injury, even when taken into the lungs, the reviewer says :—" If carbonic acid is not then the only or chief cause of the impurity of confined air —air breathed over and over again in crowded rooms—what other source of poison have we? In the ' Archives Ganerales de Medecine,' for Novem ber 1867, there is an article by M. Lemaire on ' Miasmata of the Healthy Human Body.' In the atmosphere of soldiers' barracks he found a host of living animalcules, such as bacteria, vibrioues, ovoid monades, diaphanous bodies, and various other infusoria, which in the open air could hardly be de tected. Whence came this life, and by what was it sustained? As minute particles of steel may be found in the air where the knife-grinder is at work, or as coal-dust mingles with the breath of the miner, or the ocean spray is carried off by the wind, and, even for miles inland, not only the salts of the sea, but all the minute infusoria and spores of plants found in sea-water occur, so the loose or decomposing matter along the course of the respiratory passage is breathed out and floated off into the air. Not only the cells which line the air-tubes are constantly being thrown off, like those of the skin, together with the remains of food lodged in the cavities of teeth in all stages of decomposi tion ; but wherever there is ulceration or serious disease of the throat or lungs, pus cells, the debris of morbid tissues, and even the elastic fibres of these organs are breathed out. If we would know what are the constituents, in a great measure, of the at mosphere of a crowded, badly-ventilated room, we need only reflect that what each one does or might expectorate differs in no respect whatever from that which is actually with every breath forced out in 1 the form of vapour. Filter such an atmosphere, and you make a pill which no one would willingly take. It is in the midst of this floating organic matter that the vibriones, bacteria, and S 3 on are developed with astonishing rapidity, and all combined are taken into the lungs and exert a poisonous influence, either by coining merely in contact with the moist tissues of these organs, or by passing directly through their thin walls and working as ferment, or in various other ways,on the blood. It is no;: only through the lungs that this vitiated atmosphere acts, but through the skin, and the plpular fear of contagion, where there is disease of the external parts, as of the eyes, is with out doubt founded is truth. 13 :sides the two classes of poisons to which we have specially al luded, as existing in most crowded rooms, there are organic emanations given out in the sweat and from various parts of the body, some of which are quite c haracteristic, and a host o f su b s t anc es used as per fumes, hair dyes, and cosmetics. That some of the latter are injurious to the health from their volatile nature is proved by their effect on the poor girls who are engaged in their manufacture. They lose their own 4 bloom of youth' whilst preparing it for others, and suffer with a ll th e s y m ptoms of lead poisoning. We might add greatly to this list of noxious elements which are poured out constantly into the air of all crowded rooms to be breathed 1 over and over again, when there is not a proper attention to ventilation ; but we certainly have said enough to satisfy all that carbonic acid is not the only impurity to be taken into consideration under such circumstances. It is astonishing with what pertinacity the pernicious emanations of healthy or diseased human bodies cling to the furniture, walls, or bedding of rooms ; and certain conta gions will sometimes linger about a place for months. A ward in the New York City Hospital, where there had been hospital gangrene, is a striking instance. Though all the bedding and furniture were removed, the disease attacked other patients who were placed in it ; and as whitewash ing and thorough cleaning of the room were not found to be effectual in destroying the seeds of the - disease, nor even the scraping off of the plastering, the entire walls were torn down and renewed before the taint was got rid of. Dr. B. W. Richardson, in his ' Clinical Essays,' gives an equally interesting instance of the kind. In the thatched cottage of a labourer in an English village one of the four ' children was struck down with scarlet fever. The other children were immediately removed to a neighbouring village, but after the lapse of some weeks one of them was allowed to return home. Within twenty-four hours it was seized with the disorder and died. The cottage was now cleaned throughout and lime-washed, and every article of clothing washed or burned, and four months elapsed before either of the remaining chil dren was brought home. Then one child was al lowed to return, but only to share in a few days the fate of the others. The doctor believes that in this instance the thatch was the lurking-place of the poison." While acknowledging the difficulty of securing a better atmosphere, Mr. Leeds thinks that ' most people might greatly improve the ventilation of their houses. He shows that it is not such a complicated scientific subject that only those who have paid special attention to it can understand it. The first lecture is devoted chiefly to considering the evils of foul air ; and in the second and third the effect of beat on the movements of the air, and the various ways of constantly introducing it into our houses are discussed. All is presented in a clear, easy manner, and many of the points are illustrated by striking but simple experiments. The book con tains several coloured diagrams, showing the move ment of the air in rooms heated and ventilated by different methods. The Van Hecke system lately introduced into Europe is working highly satis factory results in large and crowded buildings. It has been approved by the English, French, Belgian, and Dutch Governments, and is car ried into practice by a great number of pub lic institutions. There are no buildings which more require an efficient plan of ventilation than the club houses of London, which are generally sup posed to be models of luxury and comfort. Con sidering that for every day in the year, except dur ing the short period for cleaning or repairs, that they are more or less fall from nine in the morn ing till long after midnight with crowds who eat, drink, smoke, dress, read, write, and do everything but sleep at least in bed there, it will readily be believed that the best system "of ventilation alone could give a chance of keeping the atmosphere pure. Generally, however, the members are more indif ferent to the quality of the air they breathe than to the quality of anything else. A tough joint, an ill-cooked entrée, cold potatoes, or bad attend ance, will call forth loud complaints, and a headache in the morning after spending some hours in a vitiated atmosphere will be attributed to the salmon, the cigar, the wine, to anything but the real cause, t It which they may rely on was the imp ure air. curious to see the dodges to whi ch soldiers will re sort "to keep out the cold." The best system of ventilation is often found to b e p ur p osel y stopped up, and a man will sometimes sacrifice his shirt to achieve this desirable end. r - • ; t".. r` Y I . R .. .

Notwithstanding the crowds assembled along the road to the Derby on Wednesday, the charges brought to Oa Lambeth Police-oatzt have been very light, being only fourteen, of which. eight were cases of drunk and incapable, and one for picking pockets. John Hoyd was charged with assaulting Ps dice constable Saffhill while in the execution of his duty. The constable said between eight and nine o'clock at night he was in plain clothes on duty at Clapham Ce mmon, when he saw the prisoner and several other m'en, one being on his knees, playing with three cards, and betting, He took the man into custody, when the pris oner and several other men took him away. The prisoner kicked him in trying to trip him up, and also injured his finger. The prisoner, who denied being connected with the card sharpers, was committed to prison for fourte,en i . days. Henry Pithouse was charged with as sainting Police sergeant IW, while in the execution of his duty, On Wednesday morning the sergeant was regulating the traffic in the High-street, Lower Too'ging, when the pri soner's van stopped opposite a public-house, and caused a stoppage along the road. On the sergeant attempting to remove the van, the prisoner struck him a violent blow in the mouth, be being very excited at the time. The pri soner said he was obliged to step, as the horses were " licked." The blow on the sergeant was accidental. Mr. Dayman said it was a difficult matter to regulate the traffic .on a Derby Day. If the van had gone into thQ yard there would have been no difficulty. He fined him 40s. A special petty sessions was held at the Court House, Epsom, at which Mr. Robert Neale, a merchant,' was charged with stealing a watch from the person of a gen• tleman named Luxmore ; and Mr. George Hawley, an American physician, and Mr. William Briggs were charged with rescuing the first-named prisoner from custody and with assaulting Police-constable Jones. The case against Mr. Robert Neale was taken first. As the prosecutor did not appear, the magistrates asked the police to state what had occurred. The story told was to the following effect. A collision between two vehicles—one a cab and the other a private omnibus—occurred on Epsom Downs on the evening of the Derby Day. The three prisoners were on the omnibus, and they got down and joined the crowd which assembled about the vehicles. There was great confusion, and when the first-named prisoner had again mounted the omnibus, the prosecutor pointed him out, and gave him in custody on the charge of having stolen his watch. The defendant stated that just as they were about to leave the Downs in their priva'te omnibus a drunken cabmen drove his cab right upon their fore horses, and backed it upon the wheelers, causing one of them to be cut very severely. One of the gentlemen who were on the omnibus got down, seized the cab horse, and demanded the name of the driver. The gentlemen who were in the cab jumped out and rushed at the omnibus traveller. His friends seeing this, they also descended to protect him. Having rescued him from the attacks of the three men of the cab, they ascended to their seats again. In about five minutes afterwards Mr. Luxmore pointed to the defendant Neale as be sat on the omnibus, and gave him in custody. As the prosecutor (lid not attend when the case was called, the magistrate dismissed the charge. Mr. Neale informed the court that it was nut likely that he would rob any man, seeing that he was a well-known merchant, paying 1700 or £BOO a year rent for the pre mises in which he carried on business. The charges as ag: a i i n: t t c s • o s a t h id r to t h w defendants a . c eresulted f were .olnan then ttei le n i r 7 m d. a d ' e rle to i rescue Mr. Neale from the custody of the police. This case was also dismissed. Mr. Luxmore entered the court before the second case had entered, and asked that the first one should be reheard, but the magistrates said that they could not accede to his request. THE AUSTRALIANS AT KENNINGTON OVAL. The " Black Eleven," whose performances in the ;ricket-field have scarcely been of the remarkable cha racter that the newspapers of the antipodes had led us to anticipate, changed their programme on Thursday, and, in stead of exhibiting such respectable skill in the favourite English game as might perhaps warrant their being matched against the second eleven of Eton or Rugby, performed a series of feats more or less novel to the inhabitants of these isles. The most interesting, because the strangest and the most nationally characteristic, of their exercises were the trials in the throwing of the boomerang and the spear. For these warlike pastimes the Austra lians had cast aside their cricketing costume in favour of close-fitting black woollen suits, which gave them, at some distance, the appearance of being clad in strict aboriginal fashion, with only the short trunks or drawers of kan garoo or other kind of skin that a savage would wear. They affected, beside, a head-dress of two long feathers, crossed in a peculiar and not ungraceful curve. Standing in line, they cast their primitive-looking javelins with great force and skill, sending them, as the archers of olden days sent their arrows, high in the air, to gain a longer flight, and a more effectual fall. The mode of throwing these long, light, tough lances, which aro mere natural spears of sharpened wood, unshod, and simply winged with a piece of one of the larger grasses, like bamboo, is rather curious. The thrower holds a short piece of wood, with a notch in the end farthest from his hand ; in this notch he places the butt of the spear ; and in making his throw he thus gains the same momen tum that is given by a sling. After competing in line, the blacks took sides, and threw at each other, often managing to send their lances into the earth at the very feet of their opponents, who seemed to know exactly where the point would strike, and awaited its fall without moving an inch. The boomerang, though not entirely strange to this country, having been introduced some years since as a toy of the most formidable kind, has never been so skilfully employed in English hands as in the hands of these natives of Australia, whose untutored progenitors must have discovered by accident or instinct a seemingly paradoxical phenomenon in the law which governs projectiles. The boomerang is a strong, broad, curved lath, convex on its upper and flat on its lower surface. It is propelled forwards, skimming and twirl ing through the air, with a loud whirr ; and when it has touched the ground with one end it instantly rises and continues to gyrate in the most wonderful manner at a great height, now sailing like a swallow, now poising itself like a sky-lark, and now flying in circles like a pigeon, till it swoops like a hawk, and at last falls, some times near the man who has thrown it, and sometimes a considerable distance behind him. The motions of the boomerang are so erratic that one can hardly imagine how it can ever be useful as a weapon of warfare or an imple ment of the chase ; and its employment for pastime will need a wider field even than Kennington Oval, where it came flying twice or thrice among the spectators, cutting one person's hat nearly into two pieces. ; .

The circumstances under which subscriptions are now invited by this Company, to a further issue of capital, aro peculiarly favourable for investors, and present the strongest evidence of the sound and profitable character of the undertaking, to complete which an additional outlay is required. The works already constructed have now entered upon their stage of revenue, and they offer to capitalists not only a safe investment, but one which will, most assuredly, be very profitable ere long; and here it may be added, as confirmatory of this almost immediate prospect, that the portions of the works now in hand remaining to be exe cuted, consisting mainly of channels for the distribution of the water, will necessarily be the easiest of construction, as well as the most productive, and will add materially to the percentage of returns on the whole outlay. By the contract it is expressly provided that the Com pany shall be paid for the water supplied for irrigation to the cultivators --not by the cultivators themselves —but by the Government of India. With reference to this stipulation, it has been a.;knowledged by the Government that they alone are liable in respect to the non-payment for water supplied, so that the Company are released from all fear of liability to loss of any portion of their water-rate. :I:ie valuuof the f orego i ng arrangemen t can hardly boloO highly prized, forming as it does a cer tain and safe guarantee of payment for every portion of the water supplied for irrig a ti„,: It lies been determined by the Directors to limit, at any rate for the present, the expindituto to about £130,000 per annum, whereby they will be enabled to make all fu ture calls small in amount and at regular stated periods, not exceeding on the whole £2 per share during each year. Applications for Shares and Stock may now be made to the Company's Offices, 8 and 9, Queeu-straet-place, South wark-bridge, London, E.C. (where a full Prospctus and Forms of Application may be had); but it is necissary that it should be understo )(I that no application will be considered unless a deposit of £1 on each share, or of ten pounds per cent. upon the amount of stock applied for, has been made either to the Bankers of the Company, Messrs.

"We have long regarded this scheme as one of all others in India to which private capital should be invited. "There advantagethe ill. Gov,rument taking the initiativa in planning the great work s o f th e coun t ry , th a t they are so is thisplaced before public that they can be dis cussed in the light of local knowledg e an d ex p er i e nce. rho only drawback to do i ng this is the risk of mi s leading capitalists and raising mi s trust of such inv es tments. "In the present instance no such risk need be appre hended, for there is evident throughout Colonel Dickens' report a most conscientious end eavour to anticipate the maximum cost of the wo rk. " Also the following from a minute recordei by Sir P. P Grant., when Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, viz.:— " The magnificent province of Behar, which would be admirably watered by Captain Dickens' projected canal from the Sean°. The cost here would certainly be very much less (than at Cuttack), and the returns may rea sonably be expected to be much more secure, because we know, as a fact, the value of irrigation in Behar. The soil is better and the natural rainfall is less by half on an ave rage, and much less certain in Behar than in Cuttack. The most valuable crops are not the rain crops in Behar, and for the most valuable crops there it is found by expe rience that expensive Well Irrigation pays, which has not been proved by experience to be the general case in Orissa." The scheme of works to be executed has been tho roughly investigated and carefully re_planned on behalf of . : the Company, and particulars submitted to and ap proved by the Government, so that there will be no delay in making preliminary surveys, plans, &c., all of which have been effected, and e verything made ready for immediate constructive operations, a great advantage not possessed heretofore by any other undertaking of a like character, because the realisation of profits has been thus brought so much nearer. The capital has been divided into shares of £lO each, and stock in sums ranging, from LEO upwards. Some shares have been already allotted in India. The share capital will be called up slowly, and so as, with the stock, to maintain an expenditure at the rate of about £130,000 per annum. £2 per share during each year will be ample for this. Applications for shares may now be sent to the Com pany's Offices, 8 and 9, Queen - street-place, Southwark bridge, London, E.C., where a full prospectus and forms of application may be had ; but it is necessary that it should be understood that no application will be considered, un less a deposit of £1 ou each share, or of 10 per cent. upon the amount of stock applied for, has been made e ith er t o the Bankers of the Company, Messrs.
