The Gases of the Blood.

In paper by Matthew and Urban up
on the gases of the blood, it is stated
that repeated blood lettings on dogs
caused an increased diminution of the
percentage of oxygen contained in the
arterial blood, and exercised but little
influence upon the nitrogen and the car
bonic acid. In the course of these ex
periments they ascertained that there
was one-half per cent. of hydrogen in ve-
nous blood, but none in arterial. Out
side heat was found to have a great in
fnence upon the oxygen of the arterial
blood, its amount being much diminish
ed after exposure to high external
temperature, although the number of
respirations per minute is raised thereby
1t would seem that increasing tempera-
ture decreases the endosmotic inter-
change of gases through the pulmonary
mucus, which has greater influence in
determining the amount of oxygen in
arterial blood than the opposing fact of
increased respiration. The lowering of
the TEN pcTaLuIe was accom- pdtneu Dy an
augmentation of carbonie acid. The
lowering of the temperature was accom-
panied by an augmentation of carbonie
acid. The amount of oxygen was de-
pendent upon the activity of respiration
the incacase of bodily temperature being
at first followed by decrease, and soon
after it an increase of carbonic acid in
the venous blood. Oxygenation taxes
place in the capillaries and not in the
larger vessels.
In death from cold there is a decrease
in the consumption of oxygen, and but
little difference in the composition of
the arterial and venous blood. In death
from heat there is, however, an enor-
nous consumption of oxygen, and even
tually the venous blood contains but lit
tie of the gas. The muscles become very
acid, which is the cause of their speedy
and pronounced post mortem rigidity.

First Pleasures.

Truly, novelty is the spice of life
No Secondary sensations are like the
primaries, and habit, in the end, "stales
every luxury" Repetition is the thief
of enjoyment, as surely as procrastina-
ton is the thief of time. 1t is with
pleasure as with sparkling wines-you
can have the flashing globules. the rush
ing foam, the rare bouquet, but once;
cork up for after use, and the next
6raugft will be fiat and tasteless.
And, o, middle-aged reader, do you
remember the pride with which wore
your first watch? 1t was cheap affair
always at odds with the current time
and the gold hunting case that now rests
in your pocket is of the finest workman
ship, richly jeweled. But what a con-
trast between the Indifference of to day
and the exhibition of boyhood marks
the exhibition of your respective treas
ures. The full beard which graces your
maturity fails now to excite the admira-
tion and emotional anxiety with which
you first regarded the incipient mou-
stache of twenty years ago, and which
was probably contemporaneous with
your first love! All that first love! do
you not recall, with smile now, as. Jack
chambers up your knee, those thrilling
moments? Of course, you do; the tide
of passion may have urged you many
times since, but your memory still re-
tains an ineffaceable impression of that
first bliss

From the New York Tribune, 18TH
THE ATLANTIC IN AN UPROAR.
Heavy Winds and Dangerous Seas
in Mid-Winter.

The Captains of all the incoming yes
boisterous seas on the Alta ntic In con-
sequence of the rongh weather there are
six European steamers overdue, although
they are not sufficiently behind time to
excite apprehensions for their safety
The officers of the steamer Mass, which
left Rotterdam on December 25 and Ply
mouth on December %, and arrived at
this port on Saturday, report that on
December 81, when the vessel was in
latitude 500 and longitude 210, severe
gale set in from the northwest with a
tremendous sea which several times
swept over the vessel. The storm con-
tinued with great violence until Janua-
ry 13. and bulwarks, dead lights, for
warehouses, were stove in, and light
wood work carried away. On January
IA the Mass met two European steamers
under full bead of steam, and carried
before the gale at fearful rate of speed
Captain Chevalier states that he never
experienced heavier weather for so long
a time together.
The ship Oriental which left this port
on December Is for San Francisco, re-
turned on Saturday in a disabled condi-
tion, and her Captain reports that the
vessel came near laundering at sea. On
the night of December 20 the wind blew
almost hurricane from the southwest,
and on the following day it did not
abate its violence, but in the afternoon
veered around to the northward. In a
short time the gale even increased in
violence, and the canvas was all housed
except the fore and main topsails. The
decks filled with water, and the ship be-
gan rolling very badly. About midnight
the main topmast, with everything at
tached to it, went over the side, carrying
away the fore and main topgallant masts,
The deck was covered with broken spars
which it was impossible to cut loose un-
til the morning of December %, when
the weather moderated little. The
sailors were not able to save any Of the
spars or rigging. All the braces on the
mizzenmast and all except two on the
foremast were carried away. Bad wea-
ther continued until December 26, when
it was decided to return to New York
for repairs, and after that time the Cap
tain was constantly trying TO make this
harbOr, but was checked by headwinds
and made only slow progress. On Jan
uary 25 pilot was taken on board twen-
ty miles south of Fire Island, and tug
soon appeared and towed the vessel to
her dock in Brooklyn.

Nen senators.

Francis E Herman, who was nominat-
ed Friday for election to the United
States Senate bv the Democratic MEM
bers of the New York Legislature, and
who will almost certainly be chosen, is a
lawyer of good reputation, gentleman
of integrity and culture, and one of the
most prominent Catholic laymen in the
country. He has been something of a
politician for many years, having served
in the State Legislature, IN the Constitu-
tional Convention of 1867, and in the
Thirty eighth Congress. He was can
didate for election as Governor of New
York in the Greeley campaign, and was
defeated by Gov. Dix. II was said at
the time that his religious associations
were made ground of offense against
him, but we believe that it was his po
litical opinions and practices that were
particularly Objectionable.
Joseph E. Mcdonald, who is to sue
ceed Pratt, of Indiana, in the United
States Senate, is self-made man, now
about fifty-four years of age, corpulent
and rotund as to body, with cores
ponding jollity in disposition and man
ner. Born in Ohio, he spent tho earlier
years of his life in Lafayette, Ind
where he worked at the shoemaker's
bench; he was earning his living in that
way while he studied law. He entered
politics while he was yet young in years
and was elected to Congress when only
% years old. Since that time he has
held many places of public trust, in
Guiding the office of Attorney General
of the State from 1857 to 1859. He was
Chairman of the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee during the last campaign
nd it was largely owing to his enterget-
ic conduct fthe campaign THAI the Dem
ocIatic party achieved its snccess in

st. Nicholas for February.

The frontispiece of the February St.
Nicholas is a remarkably well-excuted
wood engraving from Sir Edwin Land
seer's picture Of "The Marmosets." Sew
eral well-known writers are represented
by short stories. Rebecca Harding
Davis has an interesting story founded
on the old fable of "The Fox and the
Raven" and in which Yankee trader
and the son of an Indian chief personate
the respective characters. Some lively
incidents in the career of certain
"Birch- Bark Boy" are narrated by Isa-
bel Francis, and the "boy" himself is
shown in picture by Eytinge. Lucretia
P. Hale gives another bit Of delightful
anecdote about the famous "Peterkin"
family; and Mary A. Hallock contri-
butes 4 story, and a large illustration
drawn in that beautiful style in which
she is surpassed by no artist in the
country.
That February is the month of valen-
tines has not been forgotten, and the
number contains a valentine story by
Susan Coolidge, and an article, by Al
exander Wainwright, describing the
manufacture and the different style of
those dainty little missives, together
with few hints for making in an easy
and economical way.
Another practical sketch, entitled
''How Dolls are Made" is written by
Olive Thorne, and sets forth in detail
the various changes and experiences in
the life of wax doll, which is really
an eventful cne; while w. H. Rideing's
account of "Chimney-Sweeps, Past and
Present." and John Lewees' sketch of
the great traveller, Vambery, are admir-
able descriptive articles.
Among the poems, there are two which
are quite fanciful: "The Coal-lamp," by
c. p Crancfs and "The Fairy We'd
ding" by Mary A Lathbury; each ac-
companied with an illustration designed
by the author.
St Nicholas also gives us ir this num-
Der the "Ice Boat Song" from "Hans
Brinker," set to fine music by George
J. Huss.
The serials by Louisa NJ. Alcott and
J. T. Trowbridge progress favorably,
and the fortunes of "Rose'' among her
Eight Cousins" and of "Jaclc" among
the Western settlers, are likely to prove
equally interesting.

From 1886 to 1911 the only transport
alton upon the Mississippi was by mean S
of fat-boats and barges, theee or FOUR
months being consumed in making the
trip from New Orleans to Louisville.
The first vessel ever built upon Western
waters was the brig Dean, launched at
Allegheny city, Pennsylvania, 1906. In
1911 the first steamboat on the Western
waters was built by Messrs Fulton &
Livingstone, at Pittsburgh. 1t was a
propeller, with two masts, called the Or
leans. She made her first trip to New
Orleans in fourteen days The comet
and Vesuvius followed, and the Enter
prise was the fourth Western steamboat,
being built at Brownsville, Pa, in 1914
The Washington was the fifth, being
built at Wheeling, Va, and Brownsville,
Pa. She had two decks, being the first
of that kind. She was success, and the
pioneer boat of that kind on Western
waters.-[ Pittsburgh Telegraph
