INVESTIGATIONS shew that the limit
of temperature at which men can work
depends upon the length of their expo
sure, the amount of exertion they put
forth, their condition. and the nature Of
the atmosphere, particularly as to its de-
gree of moisture. 1t is stated that men
have been employed on railways at 104
degs, in mines-under very favorable
conditions-at 125 degs. and are said to
work occasionally in the stock-holes of
tropical steamers at l56 degs. Prof. Du-
bois is reported to have estimated that =
temperature of 122 degs. can be endured
when the air is as dry as possible, but
that even 104 degs. is likely to be fatal
in an atmosphere saturated with mois>
ture. 1t is also considered certain that
men cannot become accustomed to stand
for any considerable time higher tenn
peraturs than from 145 to l65 degs, even
when they keep perfectly still and are in
quite pure air.

Selling Liquor to Minors.
New York Observer.

A public meeting was held at
Chickering Hall on Tuesday evening
of last week to protest against the
non-enforcement of tho law prohibit
ing the sale of liquor to minors under
fourteen years of age. Rev. Dr.
Deems, of the Church OF the Strangers,
presided, and, in opening the exer-
cises, read the law in reference to the
matter under consideration. This
law, he said, would startle an anti
ouarian two centuries hence as
monstrous piece of legislation on &C
count of it's inadequacy and incom.
peteness. But even this law could
not now be enforced in New York.
In London, he had been told, from
1000 to 5000 children under four
teen years of age could be found
every night in the grog-shops, and
almost half that number could be
seen carrying pals and jugs in and
Out of liquor stores in New York and
Brooklyn. He was q prohibitionlst
in principle, but if he could not get o
loaf he would take crumb, and was
in favor of enforcing what laws we
have regulating the liquor traffic. DR..
Crosby was the next speaker. He
protested against making the liquor
dealers of this city privileged class
They not only break the laws system
atically, but announce that they
will continue to break them. He
complimented the police, who he
said were ready to do their duty, but
handicapped in the District Attor-
neys office. He had had one liquor
dealer indicted six times, but the man
had never been brought to trial. The
indictments were slumbering III the
District Attorneys Office along with
six thousand Others. More judges
were needed in the Common Sessions,
and more assistants in the District
Attorneys Office. The only way out
of the present difficulties was for the
respectable classes to make them
selves felt ss the poll 8 and in politics,
and try to drag the political class back
out of its present slavery to the Ii
quor power. Others speakers OF the
evening were DIR. Macarthur, the
Rev. Mr. McGlynn, Judge Arnoux
and Rev. DIR. King Judge Arnoux
told of child of eighteen months
that had been found day or two
ago in liquor store at the point OF
death from being dosed with whisky,
and the Rev. DR. King spoke briefly
on the present law and the need OF
amending it SO as to protect minors
up to eighteen and twenty-one years
of age.

rangemont satisfactory. He would
be sorry to see tho present building
turned into mere Offices. 1t ought
to be preserved from that because OF
its historical associations. The busi-
ness ought to be done outside OF it,
and ho favored the erection OF
building just west Of the present
mansion, and between itand the War,
State and Navy Departments, for the
official use OF the Presidents resi-
dence.
Mr.. Morrill, replied that Mr.. Haw-
Icy had not examined this subject as
attentively as tho Public Building
Committee. That Committee unani-
mously favored the bill, and many
Senators who had been consulted ap-
proved it. He said it was unjust to
any president to confne him in the
present building rs it now exists; that
he is there in his Office from half-past
8 q. M, and cannot get away from
his Office and his duties when he de-
sires to escape. He could not assent
to the idea of buying another site,
and erecting another building. Be
sides, he called attention to the fact
that under the bill the present man
sion would be preserved iutnct'
A resolution was offered by Mr..
Edmunds in the Senate yesterday,
and agreed to, requesting the Presi-
dent, if not incompatible with the
public interests, to send to the Sen
ate any information or correspond
ence in thepossession of the govern
ment touching the arrival and landing
at San Francisco OF the new Chinese
Minister. H.

Summon my spirit to the judgn'ent-hall,
Trembling, l cried I'm this my utmost

Still with his justice let his mercy plead"
Lo, to the door, with greeting hands, there

A Jaunt to "The Deyil's Backbone"
We learned that party composed
of teachers, pupils and friends took
trip up the country last Friday, 1t
rained on the party for a few min
utes, but the sun soon came out IN
all his glory, and they logged along
until noon. stopping occasionally to
pick berries growing by the wayside
After going through Purgatory-for
alas! they had no robed priest to
pray them out-on they went, travel
ing that same broad road. They
dined on the Devils Backbone -
had berries, pies, cakes, etc. The
party went on their way rejoicing to
"The Blue Hole" They say this is
one of the most picturesque spots IN
Texas-bluish-gray rock traversing
above lofty trees,' with ferns and col
umbines, scarlet salvias growing in
every perforation and crevice. The
water laughing and ripping on its
way among the roots of gigantic
cypress trees. The rocks form n
semi circle enclosing one Of the love
liest lakes, whose water is almost an
indigo blue. Two caves indent the
rocks to the right, but the odor within
was fearful, so no ono dared explore
it, though he knew he could go to
China aud capture all wealth Of that
vast empire After supper which
an epicure would have enjoyed, the
camp fires were renewed and all
hands played II see Ghost, "Oid
