One hunter, not long since, shot
seventeen elk in single hour, on the
Humptulip river, in Chehalis county,
Idaho. The animals are bigger than
beeves, weighing 800 and 900 pounds
when dressed, and their skins are very
large, heavy, and of fine quality. The
lucky hunter probably made $50 from
his hours shooting, saving only the skins,
and letting thousands Of pounds of deli
cious meat go to waste.

ANALYSIS OF THE HUMAN BREATH
An account published in Nature, of some
experiments made with view to deter
mine the organic matter of the human
breath in health and disease, presents
some facts of a PECULIARLY interesting ma
ture. The breath of eleven healthy per-
sons and of seventeen affected by different
disorders was examined, the persons being
of different sexes and ages, and the time
of dav at which the breath was condensed
varying. The vaDOr of the breath was
condensed in large glass flask surrounded
by ice and salt, at temperature of sew
eral degrees below zero, the fluid thus
collected being then analysed for free am
monia, urea, and kindred substances, also
for organic ammonia. Among the vari-
Gus results of this examination may be
mentioned the fact that, in both health
and disease, the free ammonia varied con-
siderably; the variation, however, could
not be connected with the time of the day,
the fasting, or full condition. Urea was
sought for in fifteen instances three healthy
persons and twelve cases of disease; but
it was only found in two cases of kidney
disease, in one case of diphtheria, and a
faint indication of its presence occurred
in female suffering from catarrh. The
quantity of ammonia arising from the de-
structiOn of organic matter also varied,
possibly from the oxidation of albumin
Gus particles by the process ofrespiration;
but in healthy persons there was re-
markable uniformity in the total guam
tity of ammonia obtained by the process.

New ORLEANS dispatches tells a hor-
rible story of the destruction of property
at Galveston by the recent gale and &C
companying food, and the disaster seems
to be more appalling than those of 1897
and 1857, when the city was partially
submerged under similar circumstances.
Galveston is incenveniently located for
such catastrOphies as that which has
just occurred, but admirably situated
for commerce, at theOortheast extremity
OF Galveston island, which is very flat.

MANY persons believe that Mrs. Min
ME Sherman Fitch has, through special
favor of the government, been permitted
20 get her Khedive diamond necklace out
of the New York custOm-house without
paying the large duty on the jewels. She
has not yet adorned her neck, however,
with the necklace, although she has inter
viewed Secretary Bristow several times
on the subject. Congress will have to act
on the matter next winter. The Jewels
are quite secure in the custOm-house, how
ever, and as burglarious operations are
so numerous just now, it is perhaps better
TO leave them there than to risk them
within the insecure walls of a private
residence.
