THE TRANSPORT OF AMMONIA.

/ Ammonia mas been carried in con-
/ siderable quantities on the upper decks
/ OF steamships, but in many vessels the
bottles, carboys, or tins are slowed in the
between decks. In fact, they are some
times slowed in vacant cabins Of cargo
vessels. The explosion OF one Of these
receptacle5 awakened attention to the
placing Of such substances dangerously
near heat. The master Of the vessel on
whose ship the explosion happened I'M
screwed the tops Of all those unchanged.
and thus allowed the gas to blow off
Restrictions on carriage Of dangerous
goods were imposed under the merchant
shipping act, 1878, section 20 of which
provides that if any person sends or at
tempts to send by, or, not being the mas
ter or owner Of the vessel, carries or at
tempts to carry in any vessel, British
or foreign, any dangerous goods, such as
aquafOrtis, vitriol, naphtha, gunpowder
lucifer matches, nitroglycerin, petro-
leum, or any other goods of dangerous
nature, without distinctly marking their
nature on the outside of the packages
containing the same, and also giving
written notice Of the nature of such
goods and the name and addressed the
sender, he shall be liable to a penalty
not exceeding e1OO; but if the person
sending the goods on board is merely an
agent and ignorant of its contents, the
penalty is not to exceed ten pounds.
False description makes the sender
liable to a penalty of $500. The master
or owner of ship may refuse to take on
board a vessel any suspicious package,
and may require it to be opened to ascer-
tain it's contents. Clause 26 in the act
has always been looked upon as a mis-
take in legislation. The master of a
ship is empowered to throw overheard
goods of a dangerous nature which have
been sent without being marked or mott
fed of their true character, and neither
the master nor the owner Of the vessel
shall be subject to any liability for such
casting into the sea, civil or criminal, in
any court.
There is no reason for denouncing the
carriage of ammonia by sea, but it is of
the greatest importance that each special
compound should be accurately defined,
and that it ought not to be exposed to
heat. If everything that expanded on
submission to heat were interdicted, the
shipping trade would be sadly ham
pered. For example-yeast is shipped
for conveyance, and is usually carried
on deck. In hot weather the casks have
been broken and hoops burst from ex-
posture to the sun, although no material
damage is done. We could name other
breakages, but enough has been urged
to bring home the necessity for under
standing what to carry and where to
stow it.-Chemical Trade Journal

That is good suggestion of Mr..
Charles Stewart Smith in the North
American Review that an act of con-
gress should be passed requiring all in
tending immigrants over fifteen years
of age to appear before an American
consul in the country from which they
desire to emigrate, and receive from
him a certificate, to be presented on
arrival here, that the immigrant can
read and write his or her native Ian
guage. The adoption of this sugges-
ton in practice would exclude at least
the Ignorant, and also large proper.

those admitted to our shores.

The connection between teething and
diarrhea has been considered until of
recent years as beyond question. But
even this is very doubtful. For our
selves, we should have no difficulty the
oretically in supposing that painful teeth
ing might upset the digestion, just as in
nervous older children and adults we see
excitement and mental anxiety produce
like results. But actually, the more the
cases are examined the less certain is
the relation of the bowel trouble to the
supposed cause. Here again develop
ments in the digestive organs may have
an influence, and the effect of heat, either
directly upon the nervous system Of the
child or by injuring food, is shown by
the prevalence of these diseases in sum

If it were not for the fact the
publishers of our esteemed contem-
porary have some friends among the
members Of the present municipal adj
ministration we might be tempted to
suggest that the order of the council to
abate the nuisance in block 30 had
reference to the Independent which is
located in that block. 1t is not at all
bad in this weather however, and it
should not be necessary to resort to
legal measures to regulate it. In hot
weather, during the heat of a political
campaign for instance, it might be a
triie disagreeable, but just now there
is no occasion for alarm.

Some genius in the west has invented
an ash pit into which all the ashes from
a room drops down into the cellar. The
chimney is followed down to the cellar.
When the fire is poked the ashes fall
through the CRATE bars down into this
hollow space, making it unnecessary
ever to take up the ashes in the room
itself. The pit in the cellar is emptied
through a door once a year.

Danger in Physical Culture.

~ thihhHS-
It is beginning to be understood that
physical culture should be undertaken
intelligently and with moderation. A
London girl went home from her first
lesson, which was a violent one, and dis
covered strange condition of her neck
a little at one side of the throat-a mot
tied appearance, with settled blood be-
meath. The physician to whom she APP
piled said there was no remedy; some
little blood vessels had given way under
the severe and unaccustomed exercise,
and her naturally thin skin revealed the
mishap more than would perhaps hap
pen in another case.
The injuries are not so frequent TO
young girls, with supple joints and easily
moved muscles and tendons, but middle
aged women should begin very carefully.
Many such, to rid themselves Of an I'M
becoming tendency to corpulence, take
to extraordinary acrobatic feats not un-
attended with real danger to persons I'M
accustomed to violent exercise. Her

The Mysterious Power of the Turquoise.

The turquoise, although not credited
with either remedial or protective prop
critics, so far as disease was concerned,
was nevertheless regarded as a kind Of
sympathetic Indicator, the intensity of
its color being supposed to huctuate with
the health of the wearer.
The latter, however, by virtue of the
stone he CARRIED, could, it was said, fall
from any height with impunity. The
Marquis of Vilena's fool, however, was
somewhat nearer the truth when he re-
versed the popular superstition in his
assertion that the wesrer of turquoise
might fall from the top of high tower
and be dashed to pieces without break
ing the stone.-Queries Magazine.

that the company had ordered full time at
all its collieries beginning with to-day. 1t
was stated that large demands had been made
upon the company for coal by the furnaces
and also by dealers who expected big sales on
account of the severe cold weather. The
order also included an injunction to have all
the men out to work to-day and have iull
forces in all places.
In pursuance of the order there was a large
turning out Of men and all went to work
with light hearts, satisfied that the white
Christmas had already brought them substan-
tial proof that such an event brings prosper
Gus year, but at noon to-day their hopes
went down several points when another
order came from Pottsville, ordering all col
lieries to go back to three-quarter time to-
morrow and work on that schedule for the
rest of the week
But three-quarter time is very acceptable
after all, in view Of the fact that at the close
of last week it was rumored that none of the
company's collieries would work until after
the beginning of the new year. The severe
weather we are now experiencing is relished
by the mine employees as they are confident
that if it continues the beginning of the new
year will bring them bright prospects and a
big demand for coal from all parts of the
country.

THE COUNCIL rs WRONG.
The Shenandoah Council has issued an
order, directing that the representatives Of
the EVENING HERALD of that place shall be
excluded from the meetings, and the town
clerk has been instructed to withhold all the
proceedings from the HERALD. They give as
a reason for this, that the HERALD has been
misrepresenting them. We question the
right Of Council to exclude the reporters from
their meetings, as their acts for the public are
public property, and they certainly have \
right to look for information through the
columns of the public press. There are TIVE
sides of the question we presume and il the
HERALD has done wrong there is another
and better way of reaching them, than to
take the law into their own hands. There is
no doubt part of the trouble arises from the
suit of the HERALD to recover pay for
publishing the water ordinance.-M MGhsrley
