Lungs and Air.

In the course Of twenty hours =
bout 1900 gallons Of air pass through
our lung; aud we have seen that the air
thus expelled from them is unfit to sup
port life may, even that it is highly
poisonous. 1t not only contains car.
bonic acid gas. but some other organic
matters that are much more deIeterious.
Il has been ascertained by direct expert
ment that air containing respiratory i'm.
purity, measured by an addition Of only
two parts Of carbonic acid per 10000 ol
cir, is the limit Of such impurity that can
be allowed 20 be present II we are to re-
main In health. But in order to attain
this standard. no less than 5000 cubic
feet. or 10000 gsllons OF air per hour
must be available, and well mixed with
the air breathed. In other words, By
|our breathing we spoil 12O times NOR
Iof cir breathed. In other words. by on
breathing we spoil 100 times more o
lair than we can use 10 our lungs, instead
Iof only 1000 gallons, we need 24O,OO'

lows:
The body, which had been we'll
nourished, was very much bloated, de-
composition being considerably ad-
,vanced, the man having apparently
been dead about a week. The features
were much swollen, but there were no
external marks of violence. On opening

blood was found beneath the membranes,
and although the brain had undergone
decomposition to considerable extent,
their we're evidences of Inflammation at
the point where this blood was found.
The vessels of the brain were engorged
and filed with blood.
The. jury, on hearing these facts, re.
turned verdict to the effect that the
deceased came to his death by drowning
