THE SURVEY

The Fulton Journal has this to say con.
corning the canal survey:
At joint conference of tie committees
appointed by the citizens of Clinton, Lyons,
Fulton, Camanche and Albany, held in
Clinton on Tuesday. the Hon. ID. s. Elmer
of Albany. was appointed to go at once TO
Washington and urge the advisabiIity of a
survey of the Meredosia route for the pro
posed Henepin Canal. The friends of the
different routes are actively pushing their
claims and survey will go far towards es-
tablishing the fact of the numerous natural
advantages of the Meredosia line over the
proposed Rock Island route

COAL MINE.

Some interesting information as to the
| way in which the human system is affected
under the peculiar conditions of work In
mines has been furnished by NJ Faore,
from experiences connected with the coal
mines of France. He finds that the depri-
vation OF solar light causes a diminution in
the pigment of the skin, and absence of sun
burning, but there 10 no giobular anssu,ia
that is, diminution In the number of
glebules in the blood. Internal maladies
seem to be more rare. While there 10 NO
essential anRmia in the miners, the blood
globules are often found smaller and psier
than in normal conditions of life, this be-
ing due to respiration of noxious gases
especially where ventilation is difficult
The men who breathe too much the gases
liberated on explosion Of powder or dyna
mite suffer more than other miners from
affections of the larnyx, the bronchia and
the stomach. Ventilation sometimes works
injury by its cooling effect.

GAS TREATMENT.

In the treatment of whooping cough in
gas works, as lately resertsd to, especially
inILondon, the purifying chamber consists
of a large reom with doors and windows
freely open. and each contains twenty four
vessels, holding five cubic meters OF depu.
rating substance-limc and sulpffate OF
iron mixed with sawdust-through which
the gas has to pass. When the workmen
are emptying and rsflling these vessels
the children with whoeping cough are
placed around it, and inhale the vapers
which escape; they are in an atmosphere
containing ammonium sulphide. carbolic
acid, and larry products. As to the eff

The minister shook hands with those OF
the prisoners whom he had already met
since his visits to Heilwagon had com
menced. He stopped and talked with sew
sral of them, and at the conclusion of his
conversation he announced that the SER
vices would be inaugurated by the singing
of wen-known hymn. The song was
rendered in a very creditabie man
ner, rs the peculiar surroundings and the
fact that one of the prisoners was already
under sentence of death, made the music
more solemn and touching The most
hardened wretches felt the solemnity Of
the scene, and while they did not particl-
pate in the devotional exercises, they also
failed to make merry with the services as
has been the case in the past when such
exercises are held in prisons. The chapter
from st. Luke containing an account of
the prodigal SON was read, and then fol
lowed in quick succession another hymn,
and few remarks from the minister. He
briefly told them that he came at the request
of some of the inmates. and spoke of the
monotony of prison life. He also spoke of
the effect which such visits had had in the
past, and illustrated his point by recital
Of an incident in the life Of prominent
who was rescued from drunk
ards grave by the kindly Offices of friend
who had not forgotten him.
Prayer was then pronounced, after which
another song was rendered and the
services were concluded.

Church in the Jail Yesterday
Afternoon.
How the Prisoners were I'm
pressed
They leave Cards to Attend
the Exercises.

There was unusual hustle and activity
among the prisoners confined in the county
Jail yesterday afternoon, which at first sight
was not easily explained.
The men were hurrying about the build
ing looking for their coats, while others
were giving themselves surprise party by
washing their hands and face during the
afternoon.
Even the game of cards in progress at
one end of the corridor had lost its inter-
est for the time being, as all eyes were
turned unconsciously ever and anon
towards the entrance, as if an expected
arrival was soon to make his appearance
CARD PLAYING.
Finally the inmates became tired of
waiting and one of the, prisoners who is
held on a charge of highway robbery vel
unteered to interest the assembled multi
tude of sinners by throwing them little
game of three card monte, until as he ex-
pressed it, the gospel shop should arrive.
The monte throwing was out of the
usual order of Jail life, as The artist en-
gagged in its performance only gave exhi-
bition of his skill in that direction On state
occasions. All the prisoners were instantly
gathered about the table watching with
eagernsss the dexterity with which the
monte man threw his cards. He kept up
a running conversation about what he
would accomplish, and told them to watch
him closely as he was bad man. Finally
he placed the three cards face down on the
table and said he was willing to wager that
no one could pick oat the ace of hearts.
Some rash prisoner insinuated that he could
do that identical thing, and attempted TO
do. OF course he failed as does every
other person who bits against another
mans game. While thus engaged

The seats were rapidly taken to

himself the duties of elder, ana hustled

The Rome X

signor Casseli appeared in tights at 7
o'clock last evening, and walked on a
rope stretched from the top OF the
Truckee saloon to the roof Of the Italian
saloon opposite. There had been great
expectations based upon his performance,
and by the time he showed himself in the
air over 1900 curious persons had come
out and thronged the streets north and
south to assist at the cheap show. He did
the first part of the business in good shape,
and should have got paid for the exhibit
ton; but his best friend" made a seri-
GUS mistake in announcing that after
Siguor had walked across once forward
and then backward, a collection would be
taken up to defray the expenses of the oc-
casion. There was a second part to the
show in which Mr.. Cassell was to repeat
his first act blindfolded. But for this
Mr.. Cassell had no spectators left. The an
nouncement of the collection, owing to the
present hard times, caused 80 universal a
disposition for pedestrian exercise that
the whole crowd started home like an
army panic.stricken. And thus ended the
show.
