An interesting paper on the examina-
tion of air, taken from various localities,
was lately read by DR.. Sigerson, at Dublin,
before the Royal Irish Academy. In air
from an iron factory he found carbon, ash
and iron. The iron was in the form Of
little hollow balls, each about one two
thousandth of an inch in diameter, and the
iron SO thin that light passed through 1t.
In "shirt factory" air were found fla
ments of linen and cotton. Antimony-
from the type,metal probahly-was dis
covered in the air of printing rooms.
Stable air was shown to contain floating
hair and scales and in the air through
which tobacco smoke was passing, nico-
tine, the poison of tobacco, was found in
little globules. as -st- .ai0H' - i.9
