An old gentleman of the white persuasion,
residing in the ineighborhood where this

kIN London, recently, a case occurred
showing the dangers of insufficient Venti-
latiou.5sA young man employed by the
Great Western Railway company had gcne
to sleep one night in a room of the compa-
nv, andlwas found dead next morning. 1t
appears, ffropl the facts elected at the in
Quest, that the room measured only ten feet
by twelve, and that it had four gas burners,
two oflwhich were lighted when the young
man entered it to relieve fellow clerk.
The-decesseds had gone to sleep sitting on
n bench and becoming overpOWered by the
foulness of the air, from which all vitaliz-
ing properties had been extracted, he tell
forward against a, fender, and his neck
striking the edge, he died of strangulation.
A,Eerdict of accidental deathp was rem
dered, but surely the company which fur
nished such a room for its employees to pass
the night in was not guiltless of the young
mans life. oli "a 5ll,ss.sal l
