Washington Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
Capt. James Eads has little scheme

it comes up for action by the addition

The Greatest Danger ofRalIroad Trayell

The risk of sudden death (says the
Journal Of CHEMISTRY is very trifflng
compared with the inevitable injury
sustained by every individul who has
to make long journey by rail. The
traveller really takes his life into his
hand whenever he sets out. The dang
er is less from accident than design, less
from misplaced switches than misplaced
ventilators, less from bad roadbeds than
from bad air. We are not now speaking
of the barbaric nuisance OF having TO
smell, breathe and battle in the smoke,
SCOT and cinders pouring in from the
engine, which until some other method
is found to obviate the difficulty, ought
to be in the rear of the train instead of
in the front. OF all conductors, brake
men, porters and passengers, probably
not one in thousand understand the
vital importance of pure air, nor indeed
do they know what pure air is. To the
conductors mind, the comfort of the
passengers depends upon the tempera-
ture-.it is a matter Of warmth or cold
entirely. A warm car, or more COM
monty hot car, is one of the desldera-
tum, albeit the warmth is the product
of animal heat from fifty bodies, many
of them not very clean, and of exhala-
tons from fifty pair Of lungs, with little
chance for the escape of vltiated air

duce "bue blood" not contemplated by
the haut ton. When the life current
comes up to the lungs to be changed
from blue to red, to throw off'the carbon
ic acid and take in oxygen-and the
whole volume of blood makes the cir
cult once in every half minute, or over
100 times an hour-if there is a lack
of sufficient ventilation in the car the
blood cannot undergo this vital trans
formation. 1t goes back to the heart,
and from thence it is pumped through

Ever since at intervals of few years
