LIVING ON AIR.
The Remarkable Survival of Three EN-.
tombed Miners in Bohemia.

The Remarkable Survival of Three EN-.
tombed Miners in Bohemia.
The teaching of experience as Illus
trated by several instances of prolonged
abstinence, though it may afford some
idea of human endurance in this partic-
ular under special conditions, has yet
provided no certain criterion of the vi
tai resistance possessed by the average
man when suddenly deprived of every
form of sustenance. The measure of
this force may nevertheless be gauged
with approximate correctness from the
history of recurrent instances of pro-
lorged and accidental privation. AS an
example, the following is remarkable
even in this category:
1t is the narrative of three Bohemian
miners, who, after being entombed by
fall of sand in the pit where they were
working, were finally rescued alive,
though of course in an utterly PROSTATE
condition, seventeen days later. During
the period of their live burial air was
pumped down to them by bore holes.
On this they may be said to have lived,
without food and without water. The
total want of the latter is what makes
their survival so remarkable. But for
this essential the longer fasts of profess
sional fasting men would have been
quite impossible.
We can have no difficulty in under
standing generally why this holds true
if we bear in mind the fact that not
only does water constitute by far the
greater constituent of every tissue, but
that without its due proportion the cir
culation and nutrition of the blood and
that needful if costly chemical change
upon which all tissue repair depends
would be alike impossible.
In endeavoring to trace the rationale
of life persisting, as in the case of the
buried miners, in spite of the absence of |
every natural condition, we must notice |
one or two significant points. In the |
first place, their condition was that of !
rest, their functional metabolism being |
less active, their waste of |
tissue diminished and their output of
carbonic acid not SO likely to overcharge
the surrounding atmosphere. Further,
we may take it for granted that a robust
physique had no small share in the con-
servation of vital energy.
Much depends in such cases on the
amount of nitrogenous matter stored up,
for the most part in the muscular tissue,
and available for destructive changes.
We may safely assume that the amount
If reserve nitrogen in the case of these
men was not meager. 1t is mainly, no
loubt, to this circumstance that we
must attribute not only the fact of their
existence, but the still more remarkable
prospect of their convalescence and ulti-
nate recovery.-London Lancet.

Why Mserschaum "Colors., /,

Meerschaum would not color at all
but for the fact that it is boiled in wax.
If used in its natural state it would
quickly become soiled, the material be-
ing SO porous that it absorbs the slight

it comes in contact with. But the wax
fills up the pores and gives the meer-
schaum a sort of enamel. A pipe that
has been spoiled by overheating, so that
it will not color, can be reboiled in wa1

of work is done in the trade by experts,

AN INDEPENDENT?

EDITOR BULLETIN:-
If any have been hitherto sceptical
in regard to skill on these islands, in
political maneuvers, let them halt in
admiration of the last flank move
ment of the National Liberal leaders.
Unable to endure the concentrated
volleys of the National Reform party,
they have caused to be placed, in a
different direction, dummy or
effigy named Henry Waterhouse, to
draw the fire from them. This stroke
of strategy is not even excelled by
the tactics of the Democratic party
in placing Prohibition ticket in the
field to draw away Republican votes.
This master stroke of finesse is rem
dered easily possible by the con-
summate vanity of Mr.. Waterhouse
himself. Perfectly transported with
the quality and quantity of purity in
his composition established beyond
dispute by Advertiser eulogies, he
has consented TO become an inde-
pendent candidate.
The simplicity of the greeny who,
allured by the apparent certainty in
his own favor, yields to the blandish-
ments of the three card monte sharp,
is reason itself, compared with the
facility with which the self-conceited
political aspirant allows himself to
become 4 victim of our willy oppon-
ents. Beyond doubt he will take
some votes from one or more Ma
tional Reform candidates, but to
what purpose? Does he for mo-,
ment imagine that he will draw the
full Reform vote of the last election ?
He may us well be at once informed
that reformers who have acquiesced
in the generally approved ticket of
the Mechanics Union do not hold
their convictions subject to transfer
at his recent insane whim. 1t goes
without saying, he will obtain a GER
tain hide-bound following who hang
their volition and conscience on the
Advertiser.
After the election is over he may
console himself with the purity which
finds so little political appreciation.
He is also entitled to go to Bush and
say: my Lord, thy servant has
done all he could for thee, even to
slaughtering votes with the jawbone
of an ass. What shall be my re-
ward2" And the reply will come,
depart" etc.
Truly Bush and Wilcox are to be
congratulated on this one-sided ali-
ance. REFoRAER.

party. What has it been doing these
two years, since that party relin-
Quished as such the control of affairs,
to prepare the way for its recovery of
lost ground2 Has 1t tried to procure
such reorganization of its party as
would enable it, in this campaign, to
put forward candidates who, to use
its description of the two "independ-
ent'' aspirants just discovered, are
"men to whom the affairs of the
nation may safely be entrusted at
this trying juncture'? 1t has done
nothing, tried nothing, toward the
attainment of such objects-the only
commendable ones for the organ of
party in which it professed implicit
confidence.
On the contrary, the Advertiser
several months ago, when there was
yet ample time for initiating "stal-
wart' program, meekly capitulated
the whole works to the party of the
Mechanics Union. 1t praised the
mechanics and workingmen for their
intelligence, good sense, and so forth,
and patronizingly gave them its
sweetest counsels to aid them in the
coming political campaign. Now just
here is where comes in some evidence
of the Advertisers guilt cat the
present juncture. When that journ-
al was thus blarneying the Mechanics
Union, the Wilcox revolutionists had
not yet broken away from an alliance
with that body. Scarcely has such
breach become irremediable, by the
thorough organization of the two
members of the alliance into oppos-
ing parties for the election, than the
Advertiser strikes out in bitter
campaign against the conservative
party, bound though it is to the pres
ervation of the settled order, to
measures for the common benefit, and
to honest and efficient administration.
Farther comment for the present is
unnecessary.

FRIDAY, JAN. %, 1892.
AN UNpATRlOTlG COURSE.

The course the Advertiser has
seen fit to adopt in the present cleo
tion campaign is everything but
patriotic. On the contrary it has
assumed policy more than suspi-
ciously chargeable with being inten,
tionally inimical to the maintenance
of the present established institutions
of the country. The Advertiser is
doing its best TO defeat the candi-
dates of the only organized party
that is pledged to peace and quiet
ness, to the maintenance of the coun-
try's industrial existence, and to
economy and prudence in the admin
istration of internal affairs.
Contrariwise, the Advertiser is do
ing all it can, by indirect and under
handed-therefore all the more des-
picable-means, to promote the cleo
tion of party devoted to the most
revolutionary measures; to the over
turning of the fun damental law of
the land; to all sorts of visionary
schemes, the concoction of empirical
demagogues, and to the placing in
power of men whose whole public re-
cord is category of mischief to the
country. Both to defeat the coun-
try's friends and to exalt the coun-
try's foes are the objects to which
the Advertiser is lending its inau-
ence and bending its energies.
The way our contemporary is try
ing to effect these objects is by
agitating to get ticket for Mobiles
on this island in the field, who can
only split the conservative and patri-
Otic vote of the constituency, thus
securing the triumph of the revolu-
tionary party. AS so-called "inde-
pendent candidates are induced,
one by one, to lend themselves TO
this still-hunt game, the Advertiser
raises a shout of triumph and
parades each victim as ram with
out blemish for the sacrifice. If
it were only self-sacrifice to which
these dupes of an insignificant clique
devoted themselves there might be no
complaint. But when it is clear that
with their own dignity they are going
to attempt the slaughter of the pres
ent best hopes of the country, even
their own nearest political and per-
sonal friends, who are blessed with
ordinary reason and a fair share of
the instinct of self-preseryarion, must
join in reprobating their conduct.
To return TO the Advertiser, let
few facts in its circumstances be re-
called. They will go to show that
its course is essentially traitorous.
TraitorOus not only to the country
now, but TO its own party in the
past. That josrnal IS advertised in
