EDITOR JFFi Having Noticed a Sc
ries of questions on ''hemistry in your
paper Of March IUth, | >end you my
views OH the subject wIlich you are al
liberty to publish:
l. The constituents of which the at
mosphere is composed, are, Oxygen,
Nitrogen and Hydrogen.
2. They are associated in their combi
nations, viz: Oxygen, s.; Hydrogen, 1 /;
Nitrogen, IA.
3. The office of oxygen in respiration
is to oxygenize the blood by extracting
from it the carbonic acid.
4. The use of nitrogen is to temper the
other ingredients, of which the atmos-
phere is composed, to "A proper degree
of strength
5. The effect of inhaling pure oxygen
would be that death would follow in
very short time.
6. The effect of inhaling pure nitrogen
is the same as that of inhaling oxygen.
z. Carbonic acid gas is composed of
two gases, carbon and oxygen. in the
proportion of-carbon, 6, oxygen, 16.
s. Some of the common forms of car
bon are, lamp-b!ack, charcoal, plum
bago, (black leadD and the diamond.
q Tho mora oop,r,o,, sor.aos of .o,
bonic acid gas are, the burning of char
coal, the action of sulphuric acid on car
Donate of lime. &c.
10. The greatest cause tending TO pro-
duce carbonic acid gas in the school
room is imperfect ventilation.
IL. The Inhalation of carbonic acid
gas or impure air in quantity, acts as a
narcotic poison; its effects-nausea, diz-
ziness, insanity, insensibility and death
IL. The effect of carbonic acid gas on
the throat is, that it causes construction
and strangulation; the result is, neces
sarily, death.
13. The effect on the brain-throb
bing, head ache, giddiness, palpitation
of the heart, mental depression, and
fdaGiy, Death.
IA. 1t affects the mind by producing
lethargy, and takes from the brain the
power to act, and therefore destroys the
power to reason.
Is. The combinations of carbon and
oxygen that are deleterious to health,
are, carbonic acid, carbonic oxide, and
oxalic acid.
I6. The effect of carbonic oxide upon
the animal economy differs from that of
carbonic acid insomuch that carbonic
oxide is by far more dangerous and
deadly in its effects.
II. The presence of carbonic oxide is
more dangerous than that of carbonic
acid, for the reason that it contains but
one-fourth as much oxygen as the above
named acid
Is. Diseases most likely to be pro-
duced by foul air in the school room,
are, remittent, bilious, intermittent and
yellow fevers, dysentery, diptheria, and
cholera.
10. The dull and stupid condition of
children i'm the school room may be ac-
counted for by the absence of pure air
or the want of proper ventilation.
90. The amount of pure air necessary
for the health of an adult is about three
hundred cubic feet per hour.
81. Each child in a primary school
should be allowed from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred cubic feet of pure
air. Respectfully,
THERON s. WILSON.

THK next president of United States
should be capable administrator, a
clear-sighted statesman, an a fearless
and energetic reformer. He must be
man whose past public lie needs neither
apology nor defense, because it speaks
for itself. He must be free from all
sympathy or connection with the inhu-
ences which have thrown discredit on
the good name alike of the party and
the people. He must, in short, be man
thoroughly identified with the principles
and thoroughly qualified to fulfill the
expectations of the new era in our poll
tics and our public life.-Neso York

A BENGAL Tiger AS COLLATERAL
A circus company in this State owed
an editor bill for advertising and re-
fused to pay it. Thereupon the editor
called upon the Sheriff, who attached
the Bengal tiger and brought him
around to the newspaper Office in his
cage. He was placed in the composing
room, and during the first two days he
not only consumed fifteen dollars worth
of beef. but he scratched six dollars
worth of trowsers from the leg of local
reporter who endeavored to stir him up
with a broom handle to make him roar.
On the third day the tiger broke loose,
and the entire force of eompositors de-
scended the staircase with judicious
suddenness. The editor was alarmed to
find his exit through the composing
room cut off and that the latch upon
the sanctum door was broken. So he
climbed out Of the window and sought
safety on the roof. The tiger was shot

From the Toledo Blsde.I
THE PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION.

As the time for holding the Republi
can National Convention approaches,
the strength of the different gentlemen
named in connection with the Presiden-
cy becomes more apparent, and the re-
suit may be more certainly predicted
True, nothing absolutely certain can be
predicted of political convention. any
more than of the verdict of petit Jury,
yet certain causes, in politics, are liable,
if not reasonably certain, to produce
well defined results.
From the present outlook, there will
be five candidates before the convention
Hayes, Morton. Bristow, Blaine, and
Conkling. A few weeks ago, Blaine's
chances for carrying the Eastern States
almost as unit, were very tiattering
indeed, but since then Bristow element
has been developed which promises a
serious diversion from Blaine. The re-
cent Boston demonstration in that direc-
tion is significant. Conkling will have
New York, nominally at least, and thus
the Eastern States will be divided be-
tween Blaine, Bristow and Conkling,
ready, perhaps, to unite upon the one
who can develop the most strength in
other sections of the country. 1t is
now difficult to determine whether
Blaine or Bristow can command greatest
strength in the Middle, Western and
Southern States though the chances ap-
pear to favor Blaine.
Morton will have a goodly show of
strength in the West, and his friends
count upon very nearly a solid vote from
the South. 1t now looks as though he
would lead off on the first ballot
Hayes will have the earnest support of
Ohio, and considerable strength from
other States.
1t will be seen that the prospects for
a nomination without a series of ballots
are not encouraging. Some of the can
didates must be withdrawn and their
strength given to other candidates. 1t
seems probable that the Eastern States
can be quite generally united on Blaine
or Bristow. 1t is doubtful about their
ability to unite upon Conkling. In such
an event, can the candidates thus agreed
upon obtain sufficient strength in other
sections of the country to secure the
nomination? The aggregate vote of the
Convention will be 73S. The States
which may be counted as Eastern in this

IF is urged 10y some that prohibitory
law against intemperance is In advance
of the sentiment of this age, and should
not be enacted. The same is true of the
Ten Commandments. When reforlners
have no higher ambition than to please
public sentiment, reforms will cease.

IT is claimed by some that an abund
ance "f wine will cure intemperance
This theory has no foundation in truth.
In France, where wine is sufficiently
plentiful, the consumption of alcohol in
1929 was 10000 900 gallons; in 1850 it
was Is, 00e, 600, and in 1869 it had risen
TO a total of 26, 900, 600 gallons, which
includes only the amount upon which
government collected tax, and excludes
all that escaped such tax. The number
of accidental deaths consequent upon
alcoholic excuses has greatly increased,
as well as crime attributed to the same
cause; and the cases of insanity attribu-
table to excessive use of alcohol are
estimated to be from 25 to 40 per cent. of
the total number OF cases of insanity.

THK New York city schools are suffer
ing terribly from overcrowding. Several
hundred more pupils are received in
some buildings than there is legitimate
room for, and the average air space runs
down to fifty cubic feet per person in
many rooms, whereas three hundred
feet is the proper allowance.

A SCHOOL CASE DECIDED.

The Supreme Court of Vermont has
decided the celebrated Brattleboro
school case in favor of the School Board.
The opinion was delivered by Judge
Barrett. 1t will be remembered that q
large number of children of Catholic
parentage, in violation of rule of the
school, absented themselves from the
public school on Corpus Christi day;
that on previous 'day of obligation"
of the Church, they had similarly alb
sented themselves; that, on this occasion,
they had requested to be excused from
attendance, but were denied; and that,
in consequence of their non-attendance,
they were expelled from school. The
present action was a bill in chancery
brought to restrain the school board
from carrying the order for expulsion
into effect.
The court held that the rule was with
in the legal power of the school board to
make; that requiring the children to
attend on that day, and refusing to ex-
cuse them, was not such an interference
with the freedom of conscience as to
make the rule in conflict with the Con-
stitution; that the holding of session
of the school that day, was not any more
illegal than it would be to hold a town
meeting On that day; that the school
laws, as we'll as this rule, were made for
all persons, and, as it did not conflict
with the Constitution, was legal and of
binding force. The court, therefore,
dismissed the bill.
We presume this decision is good law.
But it does not prove that the action of
the school board was wise, kind and ex-
pedient. If the Protestant people of
the town were observing day of pray
er, and parents desired their children to
be excused from attendance at school, it
would be well to give them the privilege
and thus crafty the parents and prevent
ill-feeling. The slight interference with
the classes studies would be of no ac-
count compared with the injury result
ing from doing violence to the con-
sciences of such as think it improper to
send their children to school on days
set apart for religious services. And
more emphaticaliy should this right be
accorded to Roman Catholic parents.
Because Protestants are in the majority
in any board or community, they should
be the more carefulto extend the largest
indulgence to the wishes of the minority,
consistent with integrity and the laws.
If permission to the Roman Catholic
children to be absent day works the
dissolution of the classes for that day, it
is an evil less than that which follows
the refusal of a privilege claimed on con-
scientious grounds. While, therefore,
the decision of the court is with the law,
it by no means affirms the wisdom of the
school board.-NeW York Observer.

CONVERSION OF AN INFIDEL.-An in
teresting account of an infidePs CONVEX
sion was recently given in the daily
prayer meeting in Chicago. Illinois. 1t
is said that the man, while on his way TO
take the cars for the East, heard little
Irish boy, who was sitting OH the door
step, singing:
''rhcre1l he no more sorrow there
Therell be no more sor, ow there"
"Whereg" inquired the skeptic, whose
mind was impressed by the words.
"Where is it there'll be no sorrow The
h0y answered.

'timate, are as follows:

The number of votes necessary to a
choice is $40. The States above named
will not, therefore, cast half the num-
ber of votes requisite to nominate the
Presidential candidate. They must get
from other sections of the country 1876
votes. 1t is scarcely probable that any
of the three candidates most acceptable
to the Eastern States can carry the en-
tire vote of the States named, and either
of them can get some votes from other
States-enough,n no doubt, with the votes
cast for Hayes, to prevent Morton's NOM
inatioD
With this condition of things in the
Convention, what is the probable result?
Morton's friends if compelled to drop
him, would certainly, as general rule
prefer Hayes to either of the three can
didates favorable to the Eastern States,
and it cannot be denied that the friends
of either OF those three candidates
would prefer Hayes to Morton. This
being true, should Morton's friends be-
come satisfied that they cannot nomin-
ate their favorite, unquestionably they
will east their votes for Hayes, and
should the Eastern States find them
selves unable to get their man, they will
prefer Hayes to Morton. That is the
undoubted situation st present, and it
gives Hayes in our opinion, about two
chances to one in the contest, as against
the candidates now named. He occu-
pies a position which makes him the only
candidate upon whom all can cordially
unite. The other candidates represent
the extremes on the questions now di-
viding sentiment in the Republican par
ty. All the facts considered, therefore,
the friends OF Hayes have every reason
to feel encouraged in pushing their work
and the send-off given to their favorite
at Columbus, can leave no doubt as to
their earnestness of purpos and conf
dence in the result of their efforts.

KEEPING THE TONGUE.

Keep it from unkindness. Words are
sometimes wounds. Not very deep
wounds always, and yet they irritate.
Speech is unkind sometimes when there
is no unkindness in the heart. So much
the worse that needless wounds are in
hicted, SO much the worse that, uninten
tionally, pain is caused.
Keep it from falsehood. 1t is so easy
to give false coloring-to SO make a
statement that lt may convey a meaning
different from the truth, while yet there
is an appearance of trHth-that we need
to be ca our guard. There are very
many who would shrink from telling a
lie, who yet speak i'm such inaccurate, or
exaggerated, or one-sided statements,
that they really come under the con.
demnation of those whose '1ying lips
are an abomination to the Lord"
Keep it from slander. The good rep
utation of others should be dear TO us.
Sin should not be suffered to go unre-
buked; but it should be i'm accordance
with the Scripture method. $50 and tell
him of his faults twixt thee and him
alone" And it should be borne in mind
that what is too often considered as
merely harmless gossip runs dangerously
near, if it does not pass, the confines of
slander. a reputation is too sacred to
be made plaything of, even if intent
be not malicious. NelD Yorker.
