The Human Breath a Poison.

The Paris correspondent OF the
Medical Press and Crculor reports
that at the last meeting OF the
Academic des Sciences Professor
Brown Sequard referred to some
experiment he had conducted with
a view to determine what, If any,
we're the toxic effects of the human
breath. In condensing tho watery
vapor coming from the human
lungs he obtained a poisonous
liquid capable of producing almost
immediate death. This poison is
an alkaloid, (orga nic), and not a
microbe or a series of microbes, as
might have been imagined. lie
injected this liquid under the skin
of a rabbit, and the effect was
speedily mortal. The animal died
without convulsions the heart
and large vessels we're engorged
with reddish blood, contrary to
what is Obser we'd after ordinary
death, when the quality of blood is
moderate and of dark color. In
conclusion, this eminent physlolo-
gist said that it was fully proved
that respi red air contained volatile
toxic principle far more dangerous
than the carbolic acid, which was
also one of Its constituents, and
that the human breath, as well as
that of animals, contains a highly
poisonous agent.

wrote one of President Cleyeland's
messages to Congress-about 10
900 words-on the back of a postal
card, but lately he has done some
fine scribbling which throws that
performance in the shade. He has
written the Lords Prayer eight
times on a space the size OF a five
cent silver piece, eighteen columns
of the Boston Post upon a postal
card, and is now engaged IN the
work of putting 2S,305 words upon
another postal card. The work Is
so fine that a powerful microscope
has to be us ed in reading it, but
then every letter appears distinct
and beautif al. Mr.. Kittredge uses
common steel pen and wears
spectacles. He has autograph let
ters from several Presidents anc
other distinguished men who have
received samples of his work, Pres
ident Garfield having sent bin hi
photograph and a kind letter
which are highly priced by The
old man.

les of the victims were arranged IN
rows as soon AZ recovered. Many
were mangled beyond recognition.
There is scarcely family in Ar
magh that has not some one dead.
The embaDkment on which the
accident occurred Is sevenry feet
high. Many touching scenes we're
witnessed. The children bore their
injuries with great patience. A
private of the Irish Fusileers, be-
fore the collision, jumped on the
foot.plane of one OF the cars and
dropped four children to the
ground. He them offered to assist
others to escape, but his offer was
refused. In mauy cases whole
families were kill ed. Crowds Of
people are visiting he scene of the
disaster, and the air is rent with
lamentations.
Before starting on tire fatal ex-
cursion. the children paraded
through the streets Of Armagh
with flags and banners, and the
town folk turned out almost en-
masse to wish them a happy holi'
day. The party OF excursionists
included ministers, teachers, the
parents of some of the children,
and a few adults.
The accident happened opposite
Sir Capels Molyneux's establish
ment on the Belfast road. The
passengers gave different accounts
of the accident, bat they all COM
plain bitterly OF the stupidity OF
those in charge Of the wrecked
train who, they say, tried to block
/ the wheels of the detached cars
with "pebbles." The train con-
sisted OF fifteen carriages. The
bulk of the children were in the
front portion OF the train.
The majority of the victims we're
about twenty years of age. They
we're in the last carriage, which
was completely smashed. Many
of the occupants jumped from the
windows and escaped with slight
INJURIES before the collision. The
passengers on The third train were
not injured. They alighted and
assisted in the wokr OF relief The
scenes on the Identification of VIC
tins by friends or relatives we're
pain full in the extreme.
