HE EFFECT OF ALCOHOL. At the sitting
OF the Academy of Science, in Paris, July 10,
Messrs. Bouchardat s. Sandras, who had pre-
viously produced several papers to the Acdde-
my, on the digestion of food, completed their
subject by an article on the effect Of alcoholic
! liquids. They state, ''that these liquids do not
undergo in the apparatus of digestion any other
change than that ofbelng weakened by the gas
trjc juice and mucus, the saliva, and the other
liquids which may be present. The absorption
Of alcoholc liquids is effected by the orfces of
the veins. 1t is particularly in the stomach
that this takes place, when these LIQUIDS are
taken in excess or mixed with sugar. The alb
Sorptlon, however, may be continued through
out the ntestines. The chyllferous vessels per-
form no part in this absorption. Sprituous IL
quors, when introduced into the circulation. are
not eliminated by any Of the secretory organs,
a small portion only is evaporated by the lungs.
1t the quantity taken be very great, the arterial
blood preserves the color of venous blood, and
alcohol may induce apopIexy. Alcohol, under
the influence of oxygen necessarily introduced
INTO the system by the respiration, may be i'm
mediateIy converted into water and carbonic
acid, but in many cases acetic acid has been
obtained"
Rail Roads. At the same sitting paper was
read by M, Seguier, on the construction of
Railroads, i'll which he pointed out the danger
arising from the present mode of constructing
railroads, con the borders ofprecipices without
parapets, in the mode of making tunnels and
on that of laying down the rails" SC.
1t is stated that che suggests many improve
nents, and particularly one to which he at
taches great Importance. He recommends a
middle rail with centre wheel for the loco
motive, by which means the weight would have
IN equal bearing, instead of throwing it all on
The sides, and thus rendering deraiHemsnt al .
most inevitable in the event of any sudden
shock. The Importance of this suggestion be-
comes manifest in presence of what is witnessed
'very day."
We presume that this suggestion, if adopted,
would add greatly to the security of travellers,
" rendering the locomotive less liable TO be
hlown of the track; but we should suppose
hat the cars should also be provided with a
entire wheel, as accidents more frequently &C.
uE to them than to locomotives.
