Consumptives, Rooms

DR.. Brown-Sequard of Paris. in
treating before the Academy of
Sciences on the causes of phthisis,
takes many of his examples from Eng
land. He shows that wherever popu-
lation is dense, and sleeping rooms
ill-sized or over-crowded, consump-
tion prevail. DR.. Bailey reported
tnat in Millbank Prison there were,
out Of 100 deaths, forty-fve from this
disease. According to the illustrious
doctor, a room in which a consump-
tive person sleeps is reeking with con-
tagious germs, ii the air he exhales is
not carried off. But how to get rid of it in
ill-built houses or very cold weather,
when it is as dangerous to open the
windows as to keep them shut? To
meet this difficulty DR.. Btown-Sequard
showed the academy an apparatus OF
his invention. A reversed funnel, the
shape OF lamp shade, is placed at
tie end OF tube, so arranged in its
curves and angles that when it is
placed beside bed the reversed fun
mel will be above the sleeper, and
draw up the air he breathes. The
other end runs into the chimney Of
the room. If there is none, it is taken
through heating apparatus to an air
hole. The heat is great enough to
burn the disease germs. = Albany

IrrepressibIe Students.

PARIS, April PA crowd of anti
Boulangerist students set fire to
several bales of the newspapers La
Lanterne and L'Intransigeant in q
wagon in the Boulevard st. Michele,
and then maltreated the horse and
driver.
About 1000 market porters have
volunteered to defend the printing
presses of the journals which the stu
dents threaten to attack.
1t is estimated that 10000 persons
were parading in the Latin quarter
last evening in favor of Boulanger.
They were mainly tradesmen and
working people who gathered to defy
the students who are all Opportunists.
The police had hard work to keep the
crowds moving. Premier Floquet's
tour of tie police stations was due to
the idea that the police were only

SAN Francisco, April 22.-The
steamer Parthia OF the Canadian
Pacific line finished loading yesterday
morning and sailed this morning at
s O'Clock for the Orient, touching at
Vancouver on the way. Her
cargo and passenger list from
this port were both light. The steer
age rate was cut down to $50 by the
Canadian Pacific, and the Occidental
and Oriental Company promptly re-
duced The fare to $25. Sixteen
Chinese applied at the registry depart
ment of the Custom house for certifi-
Gates to return by the Parthia, but

A Lantern for Human Throats

The young English electrician, to
whose ingenuity, l believe, Mr.. Irv-
ing owed the cleverly- contrived effect
of the sparks which fly from the
blade of Mephisto's sword in Faust, has
been further proving what l may call
his electric versatility. His latest in
vention, l understand, turns electri-
city to account as an aid to laryngos-
copical examination by means of
tiny electric lamp, which is actually
put down the throat OF the patient.
1t was with this novel electric appara-
us which Mr.. Vesey has invented
that Sir Morell Mackenzie. examined
the throat Of the Crown Prince. The
lamp is appended at the end Of what
looks like long, slender penholder,
and the proportionately small battery
which supplies the electricity is worn

Ice can be so secured that it will
not lose twenty-five per cent of it's
weight in six days, even in a room
the temperature of which is eighty
degrees. This can be done by plac.
ing the piece of ice in bag, and then
in a box containing enough barley
chatf to surround it with layer five
or six inches thick.
The sources OF supply of the gas and
oil wells in that region of Ohio of
which Findlay is the center are, in
geological formations, lower than any
other from which gas and oil are
known to flow. The formation is
porous magnetism limestone, which
has been identified as Trenton.
The teeth OF whales furnish one of
the remarkable features indicative OF
the origin of that animal. They
form complete but rudimentary set,
characteristic of more perfectly de-
veloped land mammal, but disappear
shortly after birth, performing no
function whatever.
A large number OF alloys of cobalt
and copper exist, all of which are
found to possess much greater de-
gree of tenacity than copper itself, the
degree varying with the proportion of
cobalt, some even being 100 per cent.
more tenacious. Five parts of cobalt
to 100 Of copper give an alloy of great
resistance.
Experiments with various animals
belonging to the classes Of veTtebrates,
mollusks, articulates and worms tend
to prove that the power OF the percep-
ton of light and the sense of color are
much more widely distributed than
is generally supposed. Among ami
mails the variation in the sense OF
color is very great.
Studies on the cross fertilization
and hybridization of plants have
shown that in the cross-fertilization
of our common vegetables the tend
ency is toward atavism, or reversion
to some primitive ancestral form,
rather than toward the production Of
a plant possessing qualities common
to number of present existing
species.

THE NEW RAILROAD
For the Lumber Counties of
Northern CalifArnia.

CHICAGO, April 22.--General John
McNulta (the Receiver of the Wa
bash), w. H. Pettebone and other
prominent railroad men have taken
preliminary steps toward building a
new railroad in California. 1t is to
be known as the San Francisco, Clear
Lake and Humboldt Railroad Com
pany, and it is supposed that
the company will build about one
hundred miles of road. The mort
gage providing for the bonds at six
per cent and thirty-one years to run
has been executed and recorded.
Those who know say work will begin
at once and General McNulta's con-
nection insures success. A mortgage
for one million and half is said to be

SAN Francisco, April 22.-The

an earthquake in Yunnan, as follows:
Yamans in the city of Shihping and
Kienshin were either knocked down
or split right down, temples like

tenths OF the houses in the south fall
ing down and hall of those in the
east; in the northwest about thou

women, old and young, being crushed
to death wounded and injured, over
three hundred. At Tunghiang over
eight hundred were crushed to death
and about seven or eight hum
dred wounded. At Nanhiang are over
200 dead and ovey 400 injured. : At
Sihiahy there are over 200 dead and
over 500 injured. At Pehhiang over
100 killed and the same number in

killed or wounded, and eight or nine-
tenths of the houses fallen down and
the rest cracked and leaning over. At
Kienshni in the city 81 Killed and
many wounded. In the northwest
suburb 300 to 400 houses were overturn-
ed, 249 people killed and $50 wounded.
DEATH DEALING FLOODS.
The Chinese Times says the repairs
in the great breach of the Yellow
river 60 on very slowly, and it is said
that the difficulties are so excessive
that the officials who are supervising
operations despair of success. It is Of
course, impossible to form any accur-
ate idea of the actual loss of life, but
the calamity was immense,
and many cities, many towns and
hundreds of small and large villages
were destroyed by the surging waters.
1t seems to us that the Chinese esti-
mate that 100000 people were
drowned, is not altogether incredible.
In very many places, on the lower
levels especially, not soul escaped
alive.

PARIS, April 22.-Premier Floquet
was waited upon by a deputation Of
students, who came to complain of
the action of the police during the po-
litical disturbances here on Friday
last. The Premier informed them
that he would repress all disorders
with firm hand and at the same
time would see that the police did not
exceed their duties. He subsequently
visited the principal police stations
and assured the officers of the govern
ment's support in the exercise Of their
duties. He reminded them that they
owed fidelity to the republic and
ought to be vigilant and firm in order
to ensure the security of the public
polite and respect for the law.
