adopted declaring the office Of President
Of the University vacant was defeated By a
vote of seventeen 10 fourteen. This is a

The Sacrifice of Human Life.

The sacrifice of human life during the
past SIX months has been simply appalling,
as will be shown by the statistics which
we print below. In making up this record
we have made use only of the great dis
astors which have been reported by tele-
graph. The minor casualties it is inipOs-
sible TO estimate. Epidemics have been
the most severe destroyers of life, al
though neither the cholera nor the plague
have ravaged any part Of the world. In
the FIJI Islands alone. $4,000 people have
persisted by measles and other diseases in
PRODUCED since the annexation of those
islands to Great Britain. This unusual
fatality, from a comparatively innocuous
disease, the London Times explains upon
the ground that the European nations
have become hardened to it, and that it
was destructive to these islanders because
they were having it for the first time, and
were not accustomed TO this boon of Brit
lsh civilization. Earthquakes come second
in the list OF destroying elements, having
killed over 10000 people. We have no
record of the loss of life by the recent
earthquakes and accompanying volcanic
distuI bances in Iceland. but there have
been four other earthquakes from which
the loss of life has been given approx
mately, as follows: In New Grenada,
10000; in Asia Minor, 1000; in the 10y
atty Islands, where the earthquake WIS
accompanied by terrible tidal-wave,
2 600; and at San Cristobal, Mexico, 20.
A famine in Asia Minor during the early |
part of the year swept off 10000 people |
before relief could re .eh the affii ted re-
gion. Floods come next in the disastrous
their ravages having been al |
most exclusively confined to Europe. The |
overflow of the Garonne in the southern I
part of France destroyed 5000 lives. and |
that of the Danube In Pesth. 600. While |
our own country was severely ravaged |
by flood, during the sp ing, especially |
in the Southwest and in Pennsyi- /
vania, their destruction was corfittd .
to properly. We can find no evidence
that more than six lives were lost bv
them, although many Of them were very.
sudden and swept every thing before
tn m. being accompanied. as they Were,
with huge masses of ice. The marine 'iis-
asters of the past six months have been
peculiarly destructive of life. Ffty-four

Analysis Of the Human Breath.

An account published in Nature, of some
experiments made with a view TO determ-
inc the organic matter of the human
breath in health and diseases, presents
some facts of a peculiarly interesting ma
ture. The breath of eleven healthy per
sons and of seventeen affected by d fferent
disorders was examined. the persons be-
ing of different sexes and ages, and the
time of day at which the breath was con-
densed varying. The vapor of the breath
was condensed in large glass flask sur
rounded by ice and salt. at temperature
of several degrees below zero, the fluid
thus collected being then analy zed for free
ammonia, urea, and kindred substances,
also for organic ammonia. Among the
various results of this examination may
be mentioned the fact that, in both health
and disease, the free ammonia varied con-
siderably; the var ation. however, could

He Wanted the Circus.

There came driving into town one day last
week gaunt cOuntryman, with his fami-
y. There were couple of sleek horses,
a solid looking wagon, the cOuntTyman,
his wife and three children. Thus formed
the outfit, and the trip to the city was
made for the purpose of visiting Bar
tholonew's wonderful show, to see the
trained horses perform and to watch the
bounding buffalo in its uncouth gambols
under rawhide supervision. The horses
were put up. the family adjourned TO a
cheap hotel and made hearty dinner. and
then the countrymsn and his family started
out for the circus as he persisted in call
ing il. Through some mistake the wrong
route was taken by the party in the search
for the exhibition and the cOuntryman
with his wife and children found them
selves, after long walk, on Washington
