Diseases of Our Own Causing.

On an average, one-half of the num-
Der of out-patients treated by hos
pital-surgeon suffer from diseases due
primarily to a want of knowledge of
the laws of health and cleanliness. 1.
The ignorance of hygienic laws, which
affects so disastrously the health Of the
rich as well as the poor, exists chiefly
in regard to dress, ablution and ven-
tilation. This statement may, at first,
appear startling, but an enumeration of
the diseases that can be constantly
traced to the shove causes will show
upon how sound basis the statement
rests.S The following are examples !:

eases from want of cleanliness; chest

Death From Heat Beneath the Earth.

This morning as some miners who
went on the O'Clock shift of the yell
low Jacket, were going down the in
cline plane below the 1,700-foot level,
they came upon fellow-laborer sitting
on. one of the timbers, and apparently
sleeping, leaning against the sill, with
his head on his arm. They found that
the man was dead. To all appearances
he seemed alive, as his body was still
warm with the intense heat which stood
at that point at 130 degrees 1t ap-
pears that he went down the Yellow
Jacket last night about II O'Clock to
the 1,700-foot level, and went from
there to the same level Of the Imperial,
en- route for the 2,000-foot level of the
Bullion, to relieve a comrade who was
working there. The man who was to
have been relieved toiled on all night
unconscious of the fact that his friend
was corpse. On the 1,700.foot level,
Gallagher went down the incline six
sets of timbers, and there, it. is sup
posed, exhausted with the terrible heat,
sat down to rest. There was cooling
house few yards beyond, but he did
not know it.-Vsrgtpaa City Chronicle.

'anl probability soon to be separated.
sRhe old husband was taken sick, and
was believed to be near his end. The

Some New Optical Experiments. !

e
Mr.. F. E. Nipher sends the following
to Nature:
l. Fold a sheet OF writing paper into
tube whose diameter is about three
centimeters IAN inch or SOY. Keeping
both eyes open, look through the tube
with one eye. and look at the hand with
the other, the hand being placed close
to the tube. An extraordinary phenome-
non will be observed. A hole tho size
of the tube viii appear cut through the
band, Through which objects are dis
tlnctly visible. That part of the tube
between the eye and hand will ppear
transparent, as though the hand were
seen through it. The experiment. is not
new, but have never seem il described.
The explanation of it is quite evident.
2. Drop blot of ink upon the palm
of the hand, at the point where the hole
appears to be, and again observe as be-
fore. Unless the attention be strongly
concentrated upon the objects seen
through the tube, the ink-spot will be
seen through the tube (apparently), but
that part Of the hand upon which it
rests will be invisible unless special at
tention be directed to the hand. Or
dinarily the spot will appear opauqe. By
directing the tube upon brilliantly IL
Illuminated objects, it will, however, ap-
pear transparent, and may be made to
disappear by proper effort. By con-
centrating the attention upon the hand,
it may be seen wit in the tube (especi-
ally if strongly illuminated), that part
immediately surrounding the ink-spot
appearing first.

,diAbout q O'Clock Yesterday snlofning,
says the louisville. CoafnaeyetaI, the
Quiet town Of Bardstowna was thrown
into considerable. excitement' by the
news. that Eve prisoners centined in the
jail there, upon the scharge OF murder;
had been released by party OF masked
men. George W. Hunter, q Deputy
Sheriff of Nelson County, came to the
city Yesterday, and made our detectives
acGuainted with the following pal:ticu-
lars of the escape: ,.,...'.,,',',.i ,..,.'i al
y, About, the hour named three men
made their appearance. at the jail, hav'
ing in their custody a colored man,
tied, whom they said they had arrested
for stealing, and, whom they desired to
turn over to the Jailer. The doors
were opened to admit them, and when
they got inside, and before the door
could be closed, ten or twelve. masked
men rushed in, overpowered the Jailer,
held his wife, and obtained the keys.
They then opened the cells, and re-
leased five persons charged with MUIR
der, they being all the prisoners
confined in the jail at
the time. The parties released
were j. c. Holtzhouser, indicted fof
the murder of his father; two brothers
by the name of Murrell, and two others,
whose names were not given by Mr..
Hunter, who had been brought there
from Taylor County for safe keeping
They are charged with killing and rob-
bing q man In Taylor County a short
time since. ' b. ~. ...a.
The prisoners released are said to be
dangerous men, and they win,s no
doubt, strongly resist recapture., As
soon as the prisoners were released,
they left the jail with the masked men,
and the three parties who had brought
the bound negro, and the bogus prison
er, who, in the meantime, had been
united. The plan was well arranged,
and executed before the Jailer could re-
cover kfrom his surprise. The alarm
was at once given, but the prisoners
had q good start before the pursuit OF
them was commenced. There is 10
clew as to who the masked men were,
nor is there any thing to indicate which
way they went. A reward will be
offered to-day for the apprehension of
any of the escaped criminals.
