The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1877-11-02

The changes produced in the respi-
ratory organs of man, by the use of
fatty food, coffee, quinine, alcohol and
water, and by the Inspiration OF air re-
spectively rich in carbonic acid, poor in
oxygen, and in hydrogen, have been
made the subject Of recent investigation
by DR.. Speck, who reports the results
in the Chemical News. His chief con-
illusions are that with an increased pro-
portion of hydrogen in diet, the amount
of air inspired and expired decreases.
Nutriments, such as, sugar, which
contains little hydrogen, involve more
exertion in respiration than fatty foods,
rich in hydrogen. The more carbon pre-
dominates in the food, the more air is
exhaled in proportion to that inhaled.
The more carbon in the diet, the more
carbonic acid is evolved, and the more
oxygen taken up; the richer the diet in
hydrogen, the less oxygen is required.
An atmosphere containing 3 or per
cent. of carbonic acid could be brcathed
for some minutes without OPPRESSION.
AT 11.51 per cent. great exertion is
needed to breathe for one minute. At
40 per cent. all the carbonic acid pro-
duced in the body is retained in the
blood, and at 11.2 per cent. agreat part
of that also which is inhaled.

A New Sort Of Calling Gun.

A London paper says that while there
is mention off French revolving can
non, designed for attacking torpedo
boats with a continuous stream of shot
or shell, the select committee have
brought forward for modification IA
weapon of the same species which has
been some time in their possession, but
not regarded rs of any particular value
until the demand for a special antidote
for torpedo craft became manifest.
The gun, which is constructed on, the
Calling principle, has ten rified barrels,
each of one inch calibre. revolving
round a centre fed with cartridges
through a hopper at the top, and capa-
BILE Of firing at the rate of five hundred
rounds per minute. Special steel bull
lets, in shape resembling Palliser pro-
jeetiles, but coated with lead TO take
the rifiing, after the manner of the
original Armstrong shot, are being
made in the Royal Laboratory, and the
gun is being rechambered for expert
ment. 1t is believed that it may be
relied on to destroy a boats crew at a
mile range, or penetrate at the same
distance a Z inch iron plate.

Generals Gilmore and Duane, engi-
neers, members Of the board appointed
to examine the foundation of the WASH
ington Monument, find that the
structure has not settled rs has been re-
ported, and that 1t may be finished,
though they '1report that q strong wall
should be built around the foundation
from the surface to twelve feet below
the present walls, and at least six feet
distant at the Of the structure,
and curved or bowed so that the centre
of the wall on each side shall be ut least
twelve or fifteen feet from the monu-
ment. The space between the wall and
the monument they propose to fill in
with a strong concrete of rubble and
cement, and believe that this will
effectually hold the earth directly un-
derneath the shaft so that it will be
firm, and will not slide nor sink. The
report will be submitted exactly rs it
was left by the late Colonel Kurtz, in
Guiding his alterations and i%nterlinea-
lions.
