POISON IN THE AIR.
The Soot-Iaden Atmosphere of Great
Cities.

The Soot-Laden Atmosphere of Grrai
Cities.
A new poison has been discovered in
the smoke which surrounds factory
towns and cities and the danger from
breathing this is not inconsidcrablc.
A part of the smoke that goes into the
air from burning coal is arsenious and
mixed with carbon. Coal differs in the
amount of impure matter which it.
throws off. but il is estimated that one
ton of ordinary coal burns off about
twenty to thirty pounds of sulphur.
This sulphur is transformed into sixty
pounds of sulphuric acid, which leaves
stains upon all marble buildings and
s~tatuary. Along with this sulphuric
acid a great amount of arscnious acid
goes and the two breathed into the
lungs continually act as a strong poison.
Next to this active poison the SCOT in
the air makes factory towns unhealthy
to live in. An examination of the
amount of SCOT which was deposited in
London recently showed that on an
average thousand tons will deposit
over the city every ten days. The
amount of carbonaceous and other
PARTICLES deposited upon glass houses is
a good indication of what the atmos-
phere contains. In most cities where
factories are located the glass roofs of
houses and the windowpanes haveto be
washed and swept every few days TO
keep the SCOT from blackening them.
When all this material is floating around
in the air it cannot be wondered at that
weak and poor health are noticeable
among the inhabitants. Science has
yet to discover means to collect and
hold this smoke and SCOT as it comes
out of the chimneys.-Spare Moments.

directly behind il and listened intchtly.
From the noise made by the bears deep
breathings he kneS that the beast @as
still, sleeping sonndly. A softer sound
fell also upon the fathers ears and
nerved him with redOubled strength
and courage. II was the low, gentle
breathings of his sleeping child. With
a fervent prayer to God for help, Mr..
Ovel stepped cautiously out from be:
hind the shelter of the tree and in q
moment more stood at the head Of the
bear. The sharp AK swung hoiselessly
into the air and hung for a second,
poised high above his right shoulder,
while the piercing eyes noted the exact
spot on The hairy head where the keen
blade was to fall: then, like a flash OF
lightning, the AK descended and with a
crash buried itself in the head of the
bear.
Mr.. Ovel did not wait to see what the
effect of his blow was; but catching
Maud up in his arms ran as fast as his
strong legs could carry him for the
house.
When he returned, shortly afterwards,
with his rifle, he found the bear dead.
The huge animal had hardly moved
after the ak crashed into his skull and
death must have been almost instan-
~taneous.
Mr.. Ovel skinned the bear and used
the pelt IA a rug; and ever after this.
when friends came to visit the Dwell
family, little Maud would explain the
presence of the bearskin rug to them
in these words: This is til hor'id bear
who stoled my pas dinner an my pa
chopped his head open with an az" and
then she would add, with a merry
laugh: al an Sarah Ann thought he
was a doggie an we went to sleep right
in his arms. | guess you never seed a
little girl who went to sleep in a bears
arms before. did you?" and, with a look
which told how proud she was of this
rare distinction, she would turn to
Sarah Ann and for the thousandth
time pom into her sympathetic rubber
ears the story of their wonderful ad,
venture with the black bear.
