The Hours at which Death DC.
!

In paper contributed by DR.. Law
son to the West Riding Asylum Medic
al Reports for 1874, several interesting
observations are recorded regarding
the number Of deaths which occur du.
ring the different hours Of the day
Following up the researches of Schnei-
der and others, who had shown that the
greatest number of deaths take place
during the ante meridian hours. DR..
| Lawson has been able to determine
more closely the time of day when the
greatest ard least number of deaths oc
eur. Supylemenling the statistics of
! other Institutions by those of the West
Riding Asylum,he finds that death from
chronic diseases are more numerous be-.
tween the hours of eight and ten in the
morning than any other time of the
! day, while they are fewcst between the
hon s of eight and ten in the evening
In the case Of acute disease, such as
continued f,vers, pneumonia, etc, a
different result has been obtained Fol-
lowing up what had been pointed out
by other authorities, DR.. Lawson shows
that the largest number of deaths from
this class of diseases takes place either
in the early morning, when the powers
of life are at their lowest, or in the az
ternoon when acute di sease is the most
active. The occurrence of these def
mite daily variations in the hourly death
rate is shown, in the case of chronic
diseases, to be dependent on recurring
! variations in the energies Of organic
life; and in the case of acute disease is
Eascribed either to the existence Of s
wellmarked daily extreme of bodily
! depression, or daily maximum inten
sitv Of acute disease

White Girls Captured from In.

CHICAGO, November 27-The follow
ing is an extract from an official dis
patch from Colonel Miles, received at
Lieutenant General Sheridan's Headqnar-
ters, this morning. 1t refers to the
gills whose rescue from the Indians,
was announced some time ago. Du
ring the fight two white girls were re.
captured from the Indians. 1t appears
that these sisters, Adelaide and Julie
Garman aged five and seven years re-
spectively, who were captured in Kan
sas en- route from Georgia to Colorado
They state that their father, mother,
brother, and one sister, were murdered,
and that they and two older sisters were
kept prisoners They have no positive
knowledge OF their whereabouts Their
story of woe and suffering is simply too
horrible to relate. They were almost
naked and nearly starved. They are
under the charge of surgeon Waters,
and will rec i've every care and atten-
ton. and when strong enough to endure
the journey they will be forwarded to
Seamouth. l most earnestly recon
mend that ample annual provisions be
made for these children Ivy the govern:
ment, out of the annuity appropriation
for the Cheyenne Indians. Gen. Pope,
in forwarding this statement, heartily
concurs in Col Miles recommendation.

STRAW LIGHTNING CoNDUcToRs.-A
paragraph stating that in France, straw
lightning rods had been used with great
success for the protection Of buildings
Professor Henry Morton made some
experiments, in which he found that 6
straw offered resistance to the passage
of electricity a million or two times
greater than that offered by copper
wire of the same dimensions. He says
that he can only regard the French
straw theory as canard, but adds thai
if it had originated in New Jersey, he
should have considered it only as "the
consequence of verbal ambiguity, as
we know that New Jersey lightning,
moderately diluted, passes With great
facility along a straw"
