The Sleep of Death.
Popular Science Monthly. |


The mode of death to which the animals
are subject is that by an9sthesia, not by
suffocation or asphyXia. Physiologically,
there is a distinctive difference between
these modes of death Death by anies-
thesia is death by sleep; death by as
phyxia is death by deprivation of air.
Death by anGsthesia is typically repre-
scented in death by chlorofOrm; death by
asphyxia is typically represented in
drowning, or in immersion in carbonic
acid gas When properly carried out
death by an8sthesia is by far the most
certain and least violent of the two pro-
cesses, although both are probably pain
less. 1t is worthy of record, however,
that all animals are not equally suscep-
tible to the action of the narcotic vapors.
Cats, for instance, lie asleep much longer
than dogs before they cease to breathe.
They fall into sleep as rapidly as dogs. but
do not pass so quickly into the final sleep.
There is difference between the differ
ent animals of the same kind. Some
dogs die instantly-in fact as they fall
to sleep for several minutes before they
cease to live. In the first observations,
before / had rendered the narcotic atmos-
phere overpoweringly active for all cases,
there were few instances, nine in the
first 700, in which the animals slept on
from half an hour until an hour after all
their comrades had died. Finding out
this strange popularity, l increased the
amount of narcotic vapor until all sue
cumbed very nearly at the same minute,
and in the last g.. 900 there has been no re-
currence of the prolonged insensibility.
The animals are now commonly all asleep
in from two to three minutes and have
ceased to exist in further period of the
same duration.

Qualities Requisite to Make a Valuable
Stamp for ConectOrs-Examples.
[Charles L. Hildreth in Boston Transcript
Rarity, either in the number of the par
ticular issue, some slight but infrequent
error of printing or design, or some pecu-
liarity of "surcharging, " or alteration, Is
the one quality requisite to make great
stamp. It may be, however, that some
one specimen may derive kind of value
from having been attached to some cele-
brated instrument or autograph letter,
though have never seen such recorded,
and indeed believe such characteristics
are not necessarily included il the aims OF
philately as a special study.
In a collection recently exhibited in
New York under the direction of Mr.. j.
W. Scott, the following specimens were,
among others, pointed out as gems, and

bic value may reside IL scrap of paper

Canca, 1879 provisional stamp used
in the city of Cali. The value of this
stamp is due to what might be called an
Irish bull, were it not Spanish. 1t ap-
pears that the postmaster of the
place, having exhausted the supply
of ordinary government stamps, de
signed a new one himself, with the
legend, No hay estampillas i, e., There
are no stamps" though it was, in fact,
genuine stamp, and used as such in pay
ment of postage.
But that which would seem to be the
chef d'9uvre of this collection, and
crown jewel in all collections, is the local,
steamship Lady Mcleod stamp, 2
pence, blue. Only one or two of this va
riety had been discovered when this stamp
was purchased at cost of 500. Surely
he who originally affixed this 2 penny
worth of blue paper to his letter had no
provision that it would one day come to
be giant among stamps.

incubation of Tubercle.
IEXchange.l

A well-authenticated case of the inocula-
ton of tubercle is given in The Medical
Record of Feb IA. A healthy girl, a
cook, broke a glass and ran splinter
into her middle finger. The glass was
one used by her employer, who at the
time was dying of phthisis, in which to
formed and was removed, and eventually
it was found necessary to amputate the
finger and remove the swollen glands of
the elbow and the arm-pit. All the parts
removed showed tubercular degeneration
and contained bacilli. Thus, whether the
bacillus is cause, effect, or neither, it is
evident that tubercular poison is commu-
nicable.

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1885-11-11

1t is just as true to-day as 1t was
month ago that the one great duty lying
before the Republican party is to demand
and, by all lawful means, contend for
honest elections in all the states.
II is as true as truth itself that, in numer-
ous states, the minority rules by suppress
sion Of votes
1t is true that by such mock elections
numerous seats in Congress are filled and
the election Of President controlled.
These facts make the government irregu-
lar. 1t does not represent the people, and
it does represent fraud.
If there be any politicians who are weak
enough to imagine that the November cleo
tlons Of 1885 have settled this great ques-
tion In favor Of sham elections and minority
rule, they will do we'll to dismiss the foolish
notion.
When the Republican party gets ready to
quietly submit to such condition OF things
as now exists In this connection, 1t will be
high time for that party to turn its face to
the wall and die.
The Republican party demands equal
rights for all men-free suffrage In all the
statcs-honest elections for congressman
and for President. Until this demand is
acceded to the Republican party will fight
the good fight and keep the faith, and will
hold up its head as proudly in defeat as in
victory

A DistrIot IBuilding.

The District commissioners have very
properly included in their estimates for the
next fiscal year n sum deemed sufficient for
the Inauguration Of the work Of erecting
building for the use of the District gov
eminent,
This city is destitute OF anything like a
headquarters or home for It's officials. The
various officers are located, without much
regard to convenience, in such structures as
can be rented from time to time. Suitable
buildings for such uses cannot be had
Some of those occupied by District officials
are utterly unfit for anything but speedy
demolition. Valuable books aud papers
are exposed TO imminent danger of destruc-
ton by fire. Great loss Of timeis occasloned
by having the offices remote from each
other and from their common head. And
as to economy this renting OF detached
buildings is the worst sort of extravaganza.
The rentals paid are very largely in excess
Of the amount that would be required for
interest and repairs on large, handsome,
and commodious edifcc that would amply
accommodate all the departments and
branches Of the District government.
II It be urged that we are likely to have
such change or changes in our plan or
form Of government as would necessitate
the use OF different buildings from those
now required, the ready and sufficient
answer is that District building, central
headquarters for all departments Of local
government, must be necessary under any
system that may be adopted. 1t is evident,
hnt atp ~ ~ n1 Ia
ditions could be readily adapted to other
conditions. The practicable forms Of
municipal government do not differ so
widely in their demand for shelter that n
structure which gives proper accommoda-
tions TO one may not be easily made TO fit
another.
AS to the location of the proposed build
ing, that is question which we are quite
willing to leave for the decision Of Con-
gress. There is, however, no occasion to
dread the possible operations Of any ring,
real or imaginary. BY the right Of eminent
/ domain Congress can order the condemua-
tion and appraisement Of any site or sites
that may be decided upon. This is a STEP
that should not be made necessary by eX.
toItionate demands, but which furnishes
an easy means of escape from extortion
1t is not to be assumed that owners of rea
estate would attempt to get fanciful pricet
merely because the purchaser was the gov
ernment, but it is well to understand thai
the government eau take whatever grount
1t may want at price to be determined by
referees.
The District building should be large
enough for the Washington of 1855, anc
should be, in all respects, a commodiou
and attractive edillce. 1t should be fir,
proof, and the walls should be of granite.
On the strong grounds of pressing neces
sity and true economy we expect the forty
ninth Congress, at its first session, to pas
bill providing for the selection Of sitt
and the Inauguration of the work Of con
struCtiOn.

would receive the support of Mr..

In the article of Monday-the article in

"There is no question that the majority Of
the Democratic party fayors modification
Of the tariff laws and their adjustment upon
purely revenue basis" That is quite true,
and has been so "for years and years." The
Democratic party has repeatedly expressed
its devotion to IA purely revenue basis
But what is the World driving at when 1t

to lie simultaneously free trade and pro-
