The SANITARY RELATIONS OF Waterloo.
Letheby, one of the highest European authorities
on the sanitary relations of water, considers
water of moderate hardness preferable to very
soft water for domestic purposes. About six
grains of carbonate of lime per gallon is desirable.
He finds that the deathrate is less in cities sup
piled with moderately hard water than in Those
supplied with soft water. Ii is a familiar fact
that it is n great advantage. in making tea or
coffee to use water of about five degrees of hard
ness: that is, containing about five grains of
carbonate of lime lis equivalent in TIL gallon.
The fine flavor of tea made with water possessing
this quality is due to the fact that the carbonate
of lime prevents the wafer from dissolving the
astrngent matter contained in the tea, without
interfering with the extraction of the theme and
the other desirable constituents of the leaf.

NEW THEORY OF CONsrMPTIoN.-Dr. Henry
MacCormac, of London, in new book, puts forth
the theory that tubercular disease of the lungs is
caused solely by breathing air which has already
passed through the lungs of either brutes or hui
man beings, or air that is deficient in oxygen.
Assuming the quantity of air in the chest at
about $50 cubic inches, and that from 20 to 30
cubic inches are changed and removed during
each respiration, about ten breathngs will suf-
fee to renew exchange the gaseous contents
of the chest cavity. At each inspiration four to
five per cent. of the oxygen inhaled is, or should
he, replaced by about the same quantity ofcarbon-
ic acid, an amount which, in few hours would
be represented by an appreciabe weight of solid
carbon. If any portion of the inhaled air be
prebreafhed air. says DIR. MacCormac, the dead
metaphorc carbon will be retained, pro rata,
unoxydized, within the organism. This effete,
unoxy dized carbon, being retained, speedily be-,
comes "tubercle.'

EFFECT OF CAsT-IRON STovEs.-Somc time ago
paper read before the French Academy of
Sciences, in which the evil consequences of using
cast-iron stoves were forcibly delt with. Little,
however, was the interest excited in the matter
at the time, but the subject has more recently
been brought forward with better success. DIR.
Carrot. one of the physicians TO the Hotel Den in
Chambery, plainly denounces east iron stoves
an absolute source of danger to thos: who
them, and he claims to base his denuneiations
upon positive facts. 1t appears that during an
epidemic which prevailed in Savoy, DIR. Carrot
observed that all the inhabitants who atfec-
ted by it, used cast-ron stoves which had recently
been imported into the country. On the other
hand, he observed that all those who nsed other
kinds of stoves, or adopted other modes of firing
escaped the disease. Another circumstance
bearing on the same interesting question occurred
in the Lyceum Of Chambery, where epidemic
Of typhoid fever broke out. This outbreak is
regarded ~ DIR. Carrot as having been influenced
or supernduced by q large c:,St-iron stove in the
dormitory of that establishment.
