in the shape of George III. s writ of
privy seal, dating back to 1877. which
has lain undisturbcd in an old chest,
in the Portsmouth Athennum over

Injurious Effects of Gas.

The injurious effect produced by
illuminating gas is due, not to the
continuance of its action, but to its
concentration, or the percentage of it
in the air. 1t Is asserted that air con-
tanning five parts in $1,000 can bc
brcathcd by men and animals for
hours, and W days, without any in
jury to the health: from seven to eight
parts in 10000 cause indisposition;
twenty parts produce difficult breath

motion; with twenty to forty parts
drowsiness begins, and, when there is
still more carbonic oxide in the air,
the poisoning is attended with violent
symptoms; brain and spinal column
are especially affected, cramps seize
