oooIs. l-Dr. Begbie, as part of the re-
suit of his examination, leaves us to
conclude that this disease is primarily
induced by the inhalation, OF carbona-
ceous particles; and that in the instance
Of the coal miner, whileitis capable Of
being prodnced in various ways, the
chief exciting cause is the inhalation of
the very impure atmosphere occasioned
by the burning OF oil-lRmps. 1t would
appear, also, that the long-continued
Inhalation of very dusty atmosphere,
may, under certain circumstances, en-
gender the same condition. When once
the deposition OF carbon in the pnlmo-
nary structure has taken place to any
extent, and the trpe function of respi-
ration tsthereby tnterfered with, there

The Collector OF the Eighth District
OF New York, the wealthiest Internal
Revenue District in the United States,
has issued a circular with regard to In
come returns, In which he gives some
important information. He states that
the Internal Revenue Department. has
decided that the amount OF all losses
sustained by. the taxpayer in 1866 are
deductable from income, but In es-
.timating the loss only the original cost,
at the greatest, OF the property, to the
person losing the same, less the amount
OF insurance thereon, can be allowed.
With reference to losses sustained. in
speculahonss he says tthe Department
has decided. that while the law
warrants deductions for losses in

Is made ton exclude losses
made In, general speculation; and such
losses are not allowed. Payment Of
Interest by the. income taxpayers are
also referred 70, and upon this subject

actually paid for interest by, any per-
son In connection with the business
from which income Is. derived, and
which is due TO the year of income is
deductable from income. But, this pro.

terest simply failing due,p nor even
for interest tsactually paid, q except so
lar as suOh interest was an immediate
expense Of carrying on the business
OF the year. But In respect to interest
