DEcAYINe WOOD & MALARIA.

In these days of sanitary reforms,
we are constantly on the look out for
lurking dangers to life; and the
healthy state of our large cities,
when compared with those of other
countries, is proof that our pre-
cautions meet with abundant reward.
Rookeries of tumble-down dwellings
are still not unknown among us but
these are gradually giving way to
large colonies of bricks and mortar,
where families are lodged in flats,
enjoying every improvement that sa'
nitary science can suggest. The
different conditions under which
people live in other countries can lie
instanced by reference to San Fran
cisco, where many, if not most of
the houses are built OH wooden foun-
dations. So much unaccountable
disease was lately experienced there,
that the doctors began to suspect the
houses of harboring some unlocked
for nucleus of malaria. AS result
of their Investigations, they found
that the woodwork touching the soil
favored in its gradual decay fun
gold growth, which gave lodging to
a mass of living organisms. These,
it seems, die down when the wood is
no longer able to support them, and
the decaying mass, with its unhealthy
emanations, forms source of dis
ease.-Cham6ers' Journal.

UNSUITABLE SHIPS.

Unsuitable ships, constructed from
designs by Captain r. B. Forbes, of
Boston, will, according to him, in
few years carry all the first class
goods and first class passengers-for
which, we suppose, first class rates
are to be charged-between Europe
and the United States. He proposes
these ships to be built of steel and to
be divided into at least ten compart-
ments, exclusive of those occupied
by machinery and fuel; every COM
partment to have the means of pump
ing in air and pumping out water.
Such ship, he thinks, could not
very well sink, but it,, as an addi-
tional security, all the freight we're
secured in water-tight packages, the
vessel would float even if every one
Of the compartments had a fracture
in it. 1t is more than probable that
all heavy and coarse merchandise,
such as metals, will be excluded from
the fast mail and passenger steamers.
Captain Forbes states that it will only
be necessary to see that the compart-
ments of the two lower decks are
without defect, and to introduce a
complete system of pumps for air
and water, and thus adopt the old
Chinese method of packing silks and
teas, using either casks or metallic
coverings so far as practicable. The
hazards of an ocean voyage, he says,
will be reduced to minimum but
no safety can be guaranteed where
steamers are run ashore, as too often
happens. -Iron.

SULPHUR FUMES 1 MALARIA.

At the Paris Academy lately some
curious and interesting notes rela-
tive to sulphur fumes MS preventive
of malaria were read by M. d'Abba-
die. He stated that some elephant
hunters from plateaux with compare
lively cool climate can go into the
hottest and most deleterious Ethio-
pan regions without being attacked
by fever, and that they attribute
their safety to the daily practice of
fumigating their naked bodies with
sulphur. He also quoted cases where
sulphur mines were free from dis
ease, whilst the inhabitants of Will
ages near at hand were constantly
attacked by fever. 1t has always
appeared to us that sulphur as a
curative agent has been too much
neglected in our own country

England cannot be fairly said to

England cannot be fairly said to
be any longer a corn-growing coun-
try; accidentally, crops may come
up and be got in without spoil
ing. We learn that at Kimberley,
place in Shropshire, the harvest was
finished on Dec. l by carrying a
piece of barley; while sad tale
comes from Essex of agricultural
distress, and it is probable that in
the low-lying country, kind of
great dismal swamp between the
Thames and the German Ocean, the
effect of a succession of bad seasons
is felt with unusual acutenesss. Land
is in many cases going out of culti-
walton, and farms will not be taken
even on the terms of having them
rent free and paying the taxes. What
is more distressing still is, the
present autumn has been so wet that
there will no wheat sown till spring.

Some interesting data about the
bombardment of Alexandria were
recently given by Captain Walford,
Royal Navy, in a lecture delivered
in London. The expenditure of
ammunition was something out of
all proportion to the damage done or
the losses of life sustained. The
British ships fired 1871 rounds of
heavy shells, of which the Inferible
is credited with 8S. From smaller
guns 1467 solid shots we're fired,
while the aggregate number of bull
lets from Martini-Henry rifles,
Nordenfeld and Calling guns was
So, 493. the amount of powder ex-
ploded was 1,31S,565 pounds, of
which the Inacible fired $4,000
pounds. The losses of the Egyptians
have been variously estimated at
from 2S9 to 500 men, while the
British loss was five killed and 28
wounded. Only IL per cent of the
shots struck the Notifications, and
the ~ heavy guns carried by the
fleet fired on an average only 20
shots each during the entire bonn
bardment.

sULpHUR0us ACID.

The value of as preventive and
curative in zymotic diseases and in
ailments of the throat, air-passages
and lungs, as well as in the skin
diseases, is appreciated by many,
and in any new fact bearing on the
question should be welcome. Some
information comes from Egypt. M.
d. Abbadic has observed thac the
elephant-hunters who frequent the
miasmatic districts of the Soudan
protect themselves from fever by the
daily use of a fumigation with
sulphur. He has also found that
near the sulphur mines there is re-
markable absence of miasmatic fevers.
1t has been suggested that the coal
smoke of London may have a sani-
tary value rendering the city the
most healthy of the capitals of the
world. The atmosphere of the
underground railway is not by any
means pleasant, but there is no
evidence of it's having any deleter-
ious influence on health. There are
two handy ways of fumigating by
sulphurous acid. The first is to
pour strong sulphuric acid on sugar.
The acid chars the sugar, giving up
an atom of oxygen, and escaping
into the room as gaseous sulphurOus
acid, or, rs it is now more generally
called, sulphurous anhydride. The
other way is simply by burning
birthstone. The best way to do is
to make II brick or old flat-iron hot
enough to infame the sulphur pro-
jected upon it. There is no need to
nuke the fumes unpleasantly strong.

FOOD MAKES THE MAN.

Speaking roughly, about three
fourths, by weight, of the body of
man is constituted by the fluid he
consumes, and the remaining fourth
by the solid material he appropriates.
1t is, therefore, no figure of speech
to say that food makes the man. We
might even put the case in stronger
light, and affirm that man is his food.
1t is strictly and literally true that
ga man who drinks beer thinks beer"
We make this concession to the tee
totallers, and will add that good
sound beer is by no means a bad
thought factor, whatever may be the
intellectual value of the commodity
commonly sold and consumed under
that name! 1t cannot obviously be
q matter of Indifference what man
cats and drinks. He is, in fact,
choosing his animal and moral char
acter when he selects his food. 1t
is impossible for him to change his
inherited nature, simply because
notifications of development occupy
more than an individual life, but he
can help to make the particular
stock to which he belongs more or
less beery or tlesly or watery, and so
on, by the way he feeds. We know
the effect the feeding of animals has
on their temper and very natures;
how the dog fed on raw meat and
chanied up so that he cannot work off
the superhuous nitrogenised material
by exercise becomes savage beast,
while the same creature fed on bread
and milk would be as tame lamb.
The same law of results is applicable
to man, and every living organism is
propagated Sin it's kind" with a
physical and mental likeness. This
is the underlying principle of develop
ment. Happily the truth is beginning,
though slowly and imperfectly, to
find a recognition it has long been
denied. 1t is possible that in the
natural desire to secure the best and
purest supplies of food and drink for
man we are pushing matters little
too extreme and becoming ridicul-
GUS. Utopia is a long way off, and
$ Hygeia' has not yet been built. 1t
is, however, desirable that we should
aim high and make the teachings of
physiological science the precepts OF
our daily life and conduct. We may
not be able to reach our ideal, but
progress will be made by striving to
make its attainment an object.

lum of mantle clock in the window. The
stone is large and of splendid quality, and
as it swiftly revolyed the light flashed and
scintillated from its brilliant surface In
myriads Of sparkling rays. This gem is
valued at $4,000.
After inspecting the store and stock all
visitors were escorted to the second story,
where table was Kept constantly supplied
with ice cream, cakes and choice fruits, to
which ample Justice was done.
Among the specially invited guests were
