Fire and Death.

New YORK, November S.-Building Nos.
2l3 and 24j Pearl street, extending through
TO Cliff street, and owned by the Carey
estate, caught fire through an explosion in
the paint, oil, and varniSh-store OF Ilstey
Doubleday, on the ground floor. at about
1880 this morning. The dead body OF
Frederick B. Doubleday, nephew OF Mr..

burned by the explosion Of yarniSh. The
building was Quilted, and the loss will pro-
badly reach $50, 900.

confronted one OF the party. and applying
an opprobrious epithet to him, dealt him a
blow with his fist, which was returned with
interest. During the scullle language was

showing that it was an old feud. The par

found that il was a case OF mistaken identity

Experiments with An@sthetics.

The London Times calls attention to an
important paper relating to the use OF
anesthetics, communicated to the Paris
Academy of Sciences by M. Paul Bert.
the new French Minister of Public In
struction. This paper describes expert
ments in which dogs, mice, and sparrows
were kept In chambers containing air
along with various proportions of some
an@sthetic In a graduated series of such
mixtures OF increasing strength one is
found just sufficient to cause insensibilitv.
and proceeding higher dose is reached
which kills. The interval between these
points (the an@5thetic dose and fatal dose)
M. Bert calls the working zone Zone
n1anlable). He has sought to determine
1T for various agents-chloroform ether.
amylene, bromide Of ethyl chloride of
ethyl-for the animals named and has
reached the singular result that in all
these cases the fatal dose is precisely dou-
bic the an@sthetic dose. Thus, in the
case OF mice, submitted to chloroform six
grammes of chloroform vapor in 100 litres
of air causes insensibility, and twelve
grammes is fatal. When an animal is
made to breathe, in the way indicated,
mixture about the middle Of the working
zone, it is very quickly anm Ithetized and
remains perfectly quiet during the whole
experiment 1.-TWO hours in some cases) not
requiring any attention or concern; and
the contrast in this respect to the ordi-
nary methods by compress, sponge, and
so FORTH is striking. The working zone
is often very narrow in the case of chic
reform, while eight grammes in 100 litres
does not suffice to render dog insensi-
BILE, twenty grammes kills it. Ether is
much less dangerous, for between the ac-
tive and the fatal doses of it there is an
interval of forty grammes. An an@sthetic
acts, not by the quantity respired, but
according to It's proportion in the inspired
arr hence the statements of surgeons as
to how much chloroform they put on the
compress have little value M. Bert re-
commends the use of a mask, communi-
eating by tube, with q zinc reservoir
holding 200 or 800 litres of the arms
thetic mixture. The pulse and the re-
spratiou need no attention The most
delicate matter would be the determine
ton Of the lower limiting dose. The au-
thors experiments here give no guidance. |
The doses varied greatly for dog, mouse,
and sparrow, always less for the mouse
than for the dog They were always
greater for the sparrow than for the
mouse; and in the case Of chloroform and |
amylene they were about equal for the
sparrow and the dog. Among other facts,
it is stated that the mixture alters very
little in strength, except in the first in
stance.
