the lungs and blood, is the only agent that
could produce it. Again, there is n neces-
sity that this waste should be speedily re-
moved from the system. and the air comes
in to perform this work by expelling the
effete matter into the atmosphere in The
form of carbonic acid and watery vapor.
The air acts not only as purifier of the
living body. but to expel or neutralize the
noxious gases and 'vapors which are con-
stantly pouring into it from numberless
sources. Through winds and currents it
acts constantly as a cleanser of foul places
everywhere. Now if man binders these
processes of publication, by artificial
means, the air becomes to him source of
disease and death. 1t is of vital import
ance, therefore, that this evil and its reme-
dies should be fully understood. Carbonic
acid, as an impurity, is one fruitful source
of danger. 1t is thrown into the atmos-
phere in three ways, viz, by breathing, by
combustion, and by the decay of organic
matter. A cubic foot of pure air contains
II little less than cubic inch of carbonic
acid. But when this air comes from the
lungs, it contains upwards of seventy cubic
inches of this acid. Three hundred and
fifty cubic feet of air passes through the
lnngs Of an adult every twenty-four hours.
This quantity of brealhed air has exchang-
ed seventeen cubic feet of oxygen for nm
equal amount of carbonic acid. 1t will be
seen. therefore, how rapidly the atmos-
phere is vitiated in the process of respira-
ton, and how great the need of ventila-
ton to restore pure air to the vital organs.
Combustion, also, pours large quantities of
carbonic acid into the air. The combus-
ton of II single cubic foot of coal gas con
sumes the oxygen of ten cubic feet of air,
and produces two cubic feet of carbonic
acid. The combustion of pound of oil
consumes the oxygen of one hundred and
thirty feet of air, and produces about
twenty-one cubic feet of carbonic acid.
The decay of vegetables is everywhere
going on, and the amount of carbonic
acid thus produced must be very great,
Now observe. two volumes of carbonic
acid in a thousand volumes of air cause
headache and vertigo in many persons
one per cent produces sleepiness and de.
preston; from five to eight per cent rem
ders it dangerous to breathe, while ten OF
twelve per cent makes it the source OF
speedy destruction of life. Watery vapor
is also a source of impurity. When all
enters the lungs it becomes heated to the
temperature of the blood. This change
gives it greater capacity for moisture
Hence when breathed again it is com.
pletely saturated. In this condition the
air is very unhealthy. Hence epidemic
diseases prevail more in moist than dry
districts. and always revel in low and
damp situations. A KNOWLEDGE of these
fects should lead all, both old and young
to guard against the causes of disease and
suffering.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1878-10-30

POULTRY FLEsH.-The value of poultry
flesh comparatively, that is to say. when
spoken of simply as table food, is not so
various in different breeds of fowls, rs
some of the books and certain partial
writers on the subject aim to make it out.
We not unfrequently see it gravely stat
ed that the meat of the Chinese or Asiatic
breeds is "stringy and tough" or that the
flesh of this or that smuller variety of
fowl is very "tender and juicy" compar-
ed with that of some other kind of poultry
This is all fallacious, and groundless
theory.
We have eaten the flesh of every de-
scription of domestic fowl, from the Ban
tam to the Brahma-old and young-good
and inferior. And we know that it is alto.
gether more in the feeding of poultry. to
render their meat toothsome when slaugh.
tered, than it is in the sort or size of the
fowl thus eaten.
An immature chicken of the slowly ma.
turing sort is. of course, lacking in rotund
ity and plumpness, if unseasonably killed
for the table. But any variety of fowl
either young or old, that is badly or neg
igently fed and cared for, is naturally
