The Ohio organ, of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, [Ohio]) 1853-1854, 1853-10-28

such air killed persons who went down
into wells ip the country, or died when
a pan of charcoal was placed in a
room. The danger Of taking impure
matter into the stomach was not SO
great as into the lungs, for the sto-
mach had power to eject Impurities
which the lungs had not. Besides
the impure air which we exhale there
are $500 pores on every square inch
ofthe body, and to a body Of a large
size there are 1880 square inches;
and those multiplied make 7,00o,o05
ofpores. There Is d sort Of drainage
pipe in the body, which sends out
matter as well as gas, and this pipe is
calculated at twenly-eight miles Tong.
The particles Of matter which are
sent out and which do not dissolve,
are SO numerous, that in China, where
the houses are low, and a great many
persons are in the habit Of assembling
in one room, ithas been discovered that
after fifteen ortwenty years, these par
ticles adhere to the ceiling of the
rooms, SO that farmers will contract
to put up a new ceiling if they are al
lowed to take down the old one, so
valuable has it been found for manure.

Cylinder Telegraph.

A company is now being formed,
with a capital of $5OO,0OO, for the
purpose of constructing line Of tele-
graphs from Boston to New York,
having cylinder two feet in diameter,
by means of which, it is believed,
packages may be transmitted from
one city to the other in fifteen minutes.
1t has been objected by some, that the
power required to exhaust the tube
for SO great a distance, would be so
great, that no reasonable number of
pumps would be able to accomplish it.
But this objection is met by the fact,
that it is not proposed by the plan Of
Mr.. R. to exhaust the air through the
whole length of the tube, at cnce; but
as a portion Of the air is exhausted and
the plunger rushes through the tube,
the air is cut off behind it, and a new
column Of air commences 10 act upon
it. The scheme is attracting favor
