BILE MEN TO RESIST POLAR COLD'Theier-l
ring to the late lecture of DIR. Kane giving
an account of his polar explorations, the N. Y
Evening Post says: .as,.... saal Y. .99gcl.,
An opportunity has thus been given OF
testing the ability Of the human body TO re-
sist temperture several degrees below zero,
for several months together. The Doctor
and his party were enabled to do this BY an
immense consumption OF animal food, the
ordinary daily allowance to each man being
six or eight ducks, or an equivalent IN several
pounds of the fat seal. ,.iaA 'aaa.a,;l %
Shortly after the discovery Of the com
pound nature of the atmosphere Prlestly
Crawford broached the theory that the AMI
NAL heat of the body is maintained at an
uniform temperature of SO degrees, by means
of a liberal consumption of food containing
carbon in excess, as animal food, where the
cold is ssevere. The most beautiful and bril-
liant series of experiments prosecuted by
Liebig, were those intended to establish this
theory, which they do most successfully.
In this connection the experiment OF
DR.. Kane and his party in showing the kind
and amount of food required to enable the
human body to resist the depressing influence
of a continued low temperature, for period
longer than any other recorded, is OF the
highest practical value. -L-.,.l.l
WoRTH KnowING.-One pound OF green
copperas, costing seven cents) dissolved III
one quart of water and poured down prlvy
will effectually concentrate and destroy the
! foulest smells. For water closets on board
ships and steamboats,, about hotels and other
places, there is nothing so nice to cleanse and
purify those places, as simple green copperas,
|, dissolved; and for sick rooms it may be placed
under the bed in anything that will hold wa
ter, and thus render hospital or other places
of the sick free from unpleasant SMELLS
j, For butchers stalls, fish markets, slaughter
houses, sinks, and wherever there are putrld
and offensive gasses, dissolve copperas ana
sprinkle it about, and in a very few days the
bad smell will pass away. If a cat, rat o.
mouse dies about the house, and sends forth
an offensive gas, place some dissolved coppe
ras in cup or jar anywhere within smelling
@ distance, and it is a sure cure. have KNOW
