Asphyxia from Coal Gas.

You may set it down, said an emf
nent medical practitioner, "that the
stages in asphyxia from coal gas are con-
fusionsr of ideas, delirium, muscular
spasms, CONFUSION and paralysis, uncon-
seriousness and finally failure of the
hearts action. In other words, uncon-
seriousness is one of the last stages, which
leaves the natural inference that the vic
tim knows what death is unit. the very
last beating of the heart. The suffering
must be terrible, because the duration of
the last struggle, in which the body is
entirely passive and Frustrated while the
mind retains every impression more WV
idly than even in its normal state, is not
less than thirty minutes and in some cases
longer than an hour.
"This medical view OF asphyxia from
coal gas is substantiated not only by the
truthful relations of persons who have
been rescued while nature was a sut IL
succumb, but also by the condition of I'll;
body after death. The only irratieasl
symptom disclosed by the scalpel ofSthe
operator is the presence of dark, Venous
blood in the right side of the heart and the
venous system. The left chambers of the
heart contain only a small qpanfty of
dark colored blood, while the vessels of
the membrane and sinuses of the brain
are filled with it. This demonstrates
plainly that the brain was the last organ
to succumb.

The Beauties of PekIn's Streets.

The streets of Pekin are less safe for
travel than an ordinary open roadless
country. AS landscape the broken sur
face would be picturesque, the effect not
spoiled by the rows of houses on eitheT
side. Thevast cesspools-it w6hld be an
objectionable euphemism to call them
quagmires-of unknown depth through
temerity to trust yourself to the cart of
the country, must go, are dangerous after
rain until evaporation reduces the fluid
filth to its dry weather level Cart mules

drowned in these metropolitan streets; |

some of these wide expenses, too, you en-
counter irregular rocky lodges or skerries.

drains, and now tumbled up as if by an
earthquake, and which would tax the
agility of chamois to traverse securely
say nothing of the square pits with their
correlative heaps which have been dug
into the stagnant sewers, as the dull oil
factories of Pelin mule may be trusted
to keep him clear of that danger even in
the darkest night.
The streets arc the special care of one
of the great boards which make up the
imperial government of China, the board

says, dig your hole somewhere else? "
"Why not, indeed?" replies the inspector

revenue is raised, which, with the gov,
