THE TURKISH BATH.

DR.. Fleming, of Glasgow, has pre-
sented to the British Medical Associa-
tion an account ofsome experiments by
the author himself, with view to as
certain the effect of the Turkish bath,
at the temperatures of from 1870 de-
grees to lT0 degrees Fahrenheit, upon
the weight, temperature, pulse, respi-
ration and secretions. The results
showed that the immersion Of the body
in hot, dry air produced loss of weight
to an extent considerably greater than
normal, amounting, on the average, TO
the rate of about forty ounces an hour
This was accompanied by an increase
in the temperature Of the body and
rise in the pulse rate, with at first
fall and then rise in the rapidity of
respiration. The amount of solids se-
creted by the kidneys was increased,
and, coincidently, the amount of urea.
The sweat containeda quantity Of solid
matter in solution, and, among other
things, considerable amount Of urea.
The most important effect Of the bath,
however, was the stimulation of
the emunctory action of the skin.
BY this means the tissues could,
as II were, be washed by passing wa.
ter through them from within out.
The increased temperature and pulse
rate pointed to the necessity Of caution
in the use of the bath when the circu.
latory system was diseased. ed.-Scientjfc

STUDIES OF EMBRYO LIFE.

On opening the shell of hens egg
in the third day of incubation Harvey
noticed the heartbeats of the embryo,
which, however, soon ceased. He then
placed the egg in warm water, and the
heart commenced TO beat again. The
same experiment, but with important
modification, has been repeated by NJ.
Daroste, who for some years past has
devoted himself with great assiduity
to the study of embryo life. He took
from under a hen an egg on which she
bad sat for three days, and let it re-
main in the ordinary temperature for
two or three days. He then again
placed il under conditions favorable
to incubation, and in due time u chick
was hatched out, Just as if there had
occurred nothing unusual in the mean
time. The result of this ingenious ex-
pertinent, as NJ. Stanislas Mcunier oh.
serves in La Nature, is TO show that
life may be suspended for a considera.

SOLID suLpHuRIc ACID.

Stark's extensive sulphuric acid
works in Bohemia, which produce the
Nordhauson sulphuric acid on very
large scale from alumineus slate, have
lately put the pure anhydrous acid on
the market. 1t is put up in tightly
soldered tin (tinned from boxes, which
were found TO answer best, because at
ordinary temperatures sulphuric anby.
bride is without action upon metals,
and particularly upon tin. This form
of acid is very useful, and It's transpor.
tation by far less risky than when
shipped in liquid form. The con.
stantly growing production Of artificial
alizarinc has been chiefly the cause Of
this innovation, it being well known
not only that large quantities of FUN
ing sulphuric acid are required for its
preparation, but also that the yield
and quality of the product depend up.
