Poison I'm Respired Air.
From the Scientific American.


Mn Brown-Sequard and p'Arso--a, have
made a further statement to the Academic ces
Sciences respecting their discovery of poison
Gus principle in water condensed from respired
air. New researches, made at the beginning
Of last year. have shown that this poison. be il
simple or multiple, which ACCOMPANIES pired
air, is able, in small quantities, to kill even
without being directly injected into the blood.
This toxicity is not due TO the presence OF mi
crobes in the pulmonary liquid. for the same
effects are produced by it after having been
subjected to a temperature o. 100 degI ees C.
In closed vessel. During the past year many
experiments have been made 10 determine the
action Of the pulmonary poison il exists in
respired air mixed with pure air. the results
OF which have completely confirmed what has
been learned respecting this poison by other
methods. An apparatus has been usod for
this purpose, which, while showing the poi
sonous property Of respircd air. has also per-
mitted II to h. demonstrated that the car
bonie acid OF It's air has nothing TO do with its
toxicity.
The apparatus consists of a series of metallic
boxes, connected with each other. but shut of
from the outer air by sealed joints. An aspi-
rator connected with a gas meter draws a
measured cure. Of air through the series OF
boxes, one after another. 1t consequently fol-
lows that an ANIMAL shut up in the first box
breathes pure AIR. while others inclosed in sue
cessive boxes must breath air more and more
yitiated. Every care is taken 10 provide for
the drainage rh, boxes 1t was found that
animals shut IA L these boxes died sooner or
later. according TO their distance from the
fresh-air box. although the proportion of car
bonic acid never became more than 2 or 8 per
cent of the air which proved most deadly. Pure
carbonic acid in the proportion of 20 per cent
of the air was breathed by the same a mails
with impunity. Also, when the pulmonary
poison was arrested by passing the air contain
with concentrated sulphuric acid, which would
not have any effect upon its carbonic acid, the
toxic quality disappeared. Hence il may be
deduced that the atmosphere of all badly
ventilated rooms occupied by men or warm
blooded animals is charged with an unknown
active poison, which would kill all the inmates
if they remained LONG enough under it's infiu-
ence. and even il short tia afiec9 their

Some Rude Proverbs.

From the New York Sun.
A contributor to the Freisinnige Zeitsusg has
collected from all the foremost nations Of the
world heap Of proverbs Of men concerning
women" 1t appears from them that the
southern people, who count themselves the
most chivalrous and gallant toward the ladies,
are more coarse and insulting in their proverbs
than the colder northerners. Although the
Germans, the Scandinayians and the English
are not complimentary TO the women IN their
proverbs they rarely brutal" The
a plague" "A man made Of straw is worth
The Spaniard says: "A woman's advice 10
never OF any use. but unless you follow il she
will rail at you - y fool" BE on your guard
against a baG y Imam, but do not put your
trust in good woman" There il ONLY one
bad woman, but every husband believes be
possesses her. The Italians say: IF q man
loses his wife and farthing, he has only lost Q
farthing." The chief failings OF the sex, ac-
cording TO a whole host of English and Ger
man proverbs, are changeablepess and talka-
tiveness, the former of which Is equally true
of men and the latter not disagreesble TO men
in the Latin nations. The charge that
"women's minds and April winds often
change" and the statement that "A vomans
strength lies in her tongue" appear TO be &C.
cepted IN various readings throughout north
ern Europe. The specimen OF q Yankes
proverb Is characteristic: Women can keep .

it." The Chinese say that "A woman's tongue
is her sword" but ''she never lets il grow
rusty"

A BRUTAL OUTRAGE.
A Colored Girl Assaulted by Six Negro
Boys-Au Of Them Arr ested.

What is known as the .'camp" is small set
Element not far from Freedmans hospital.
The inhabitants are mostly Italians and
negroes. The camp" has been the scene of
murder and number of serious assaults 1t
was long time before policeman could take
& prisoner from that section without being as
saulted, and it was there that Policeman NAL
10y came near losing his life when arresting a
negro. Thursday afternoon the little settle
ment was the scene of an outrageous assault
committed on a small colored girl by number
Of colored boys.
THE VICTIM
OF the alleged brutal assault was Linda
Woods, a sixteen-year-old girl who lives on
Pomeroy street at No. 400. The assault oc-
Cured in the house of a colored woman named
johnson, only three doors from the home of the
girls parents. The little girl called at Mrs. john
sons house to see Mrs. Johnson's daughter Flor
ence. Mrs. johnson was not at home. but there
were dozen or fifteen boys In the house.
one OF the boys opened the door to her knock
and the girl inquired: lis Florence imp and
she was answered in the affirmative and invited
In. Linda expected to see her companion
florence, who she thought would go walking
IN the country to see the picnic parties, as it
was the Fourth of July.
YOUTHFUL FIENDs.
When she entered the room the door was
closed behind her and a moment later she was
grabbed by one Of the youthful fiends and
thrown to the floor. She attempted to scream,
but her attempt was frustrated by one of the
boys holding towel or cloth of some kind over
her mouth. According to the girls story six of
the boys assaulted her. She lost consciousness
and remained in the house for some time.
When she recovered her senses she left the
Johnson house and went home. The boys had
left the house. Although tn girl was seri-
ously injured she said nothing of the assault
until Saturday, when her condition compelled
her to tell her mother what had occurred, and
then DIR. Henderson was sent for.
SIX ARRESTS.
Mrs. Woods, the girls mother made COM
plant to the police and the case was investi-
gated by Officers Malloy and Passau. They
found that the boys who were in the house
were from fifteen to nineteen years old Sat
urday night they arrested Amos Owens and
George Fry and locked them up. Yesterday
the officers arrested John and George Page and
this morning John H. Thomas was arrested.
Thomas told the officers that he would tell the
truth abous the matter and he was detained at
the station.
The other prisoners were taken to the Police
Court to-day and the charge of rape was made
against them. Their cases were continued, as
the officers will arrest all the boys who were in
the house at the time the alleged assault was
committed
William Jones, another Of the BOYS charged
with committing the assault, was arrested at
the Police Court this morning and was locked
up with the other prisoners

WHERE MONEY Is CHEAP.
Extravagant Prices Paid for Trivial
Services at the Race-Track.
From the New York World.

From the New York World
1t Is q well-known fact that the value of
money is less appreciated by regular racing
people than by any other class OF people in the
world, even including gold miners, who are
VIGOROUSLY extrayagant in si.ending their
wealth. A person who visits big race meet
ing for the first time is astounded at the reck-
less manner in which large sums of money are
passed back and forth between the bettors and
the bookmakers. Jockeys, like candy" Nc
Carthy, who are mere youths, walk up to a
betting stand and, as if it were the most COM
mon occurrence, pull out an enormous roll of
greenbacks and place $500, and even I,O00 on
a single horse. 1t is ''come easy, 60 easy"
with these lads, and they haven't the remotest
idea of the real value of money.
On suburban day World reporter saw
Mccarthy cash six tickets on Bill Bond, of
500 each, saying, Il knew Larehmont couldn't
run little Bit" and stuffing this small fortune
into his trousers pocket, he walked off as I'M
concerned as possible. A clerk on fair wages
would have to be very economic in order to
save this sum from 200 salary in two years
On race-course everything is a great deal
more expensive than elsewhere. glass of
beer costs ten cents. a ham sandwich twenty
cents, and everything in proportion. Salaries
are very high, the starter receiving 500 per
mount, and men like Garrison are paid over
$4,000 season to ride for a certain stable
The book-makers, seventy-fve in number at
Sheepshead Bay, pay 900 each per day for
their privilege. They employ three clerks at
$40 per day each, and all their expenses are
proportionately heavy.
As soon as the judges hang out the numbers
OF the winning horses, man is seen to rush
down to the bookmakers pavilion. shouting
lakeland wins Terra Gotta secondr' at the
top of his voice This man is the old-time
sport, Barney Aaron, and he receives for this
slight service 81 per day from each book
maker on the line. As there are seyenty-five
OF them, he receives the princely sum of SIS
per day, or 81, lbs for the fifteen DAYS of the
meeting. for performing a service that could
be done by a messenger bow.
''Jim," the colored boy who carries ice-water
around among the bookmakers' stands during
the day, gets 80 cents day from each of the
seventy-fve ''bookies," making his salary per
diem S37. A laborer only receives this much
for months wages. The club paid out about
$4,000 on suburban day in added money TO
.'bookies" alone nearly made this up, while
$4,000 must have been taken in at the gate
All privileges for restaurant. &c. are sold at
an enormously high figure, and it can wen be
said that money is scattered about in princely
fashion at big race meeting.
Bookmakers also say that the money handled
over their books is of the greasiest and most
tattered order; and that all the old ragged
money seems to have been saved up by the
race-goer for especial use at the race track
