Cooled Air for Business Places.

The great advance made in the produc-
tion of artificially cooled air for hospitals
and theaters has led to the suggestion that
large numbers of people would be greatly
benefited by the introduction of pure aud
cool air into business places where the Or
dinary wear and tear of mind and body is as
a rule largely increased by an impure or
overheated atmosphere. A. R. Wolff has
drawn attention to the fact that
this contingency can be eco
nomically met bv the, employment
of an ammonia ice machine Allowing 1000
cubic feet of air per hour per person, there
must be put into motion 147.2 pounds Of
air, and to lower this weight of air ten de-
grees requires the absorption of $50 heat
units per hour. To do this work for 1000
persons by ice, at S. per ton, would cost S.
an hour, figure practically prohibitory:
but if an ammonia ice machine be employed
upon the principle of mechanical retrigera-
tion, with coal at So per ton, the cost would
average Is cents per hour for 200 persons
To this would have to be added various
general items of expense; but even then,
the cost of the proposed system would be so
low as to lead to its adoption in such num-
Der of Offices and other places of business as
to make it a profitable investment for the
suDplieE.

Ouinine and Cholera,

DR.. Laurie, a physician well-known in
India, long ago asserted that he would stake
his professional reputation on the efficiency
of quinine as prophylactic against cholera
A tive-grain dose of this drug every morn
ing while the disease is about, is, he held, q
sure preventive. During the epidemic of
cholera in India last year, DR.. Henri made
certain Investigations which resulted in the
discovery of the presence in the blood, etc,
of cholera patients, OF a peculiar parasitic
protozoon or microbe, although whether
this is the cause or the result of the disease
has yet to be determined. He found that
this organism could not live in strong solu-
tions of quinine, and he further found that
the protective virtues of quinine were
amply demonstrated during the epidemic
He now commits himself unreservedly to
the opinion expressed by DR.. Laurie, and
recommends the use of quinine as prophv-
Tactic in addition to sulphurous acid. 1t
has been his ractice for years to administer
drachm doses of this acid every three hours
to all the inmates of house in which the
disease breaks out during the time the
patient is in the house.

WALKING FORBEAUTY.
4 Physician Says It Is tho Only
Safe Exercise for the Form.
ROWING NEXT BEST FOR WOMEN.
Sensitive Fluids on Envelopes to Detect
Postal Dishonesty.
STRAY BITS OF SCIENTIFIC GOSSIP



A celebrated physician, on being asked
"What is the exercise most conducive
to physical beauty in women?" replied
very decidedly, walking" Tennis he
declared to be too violent, and too much Of
it Is likely to lengthen the arms and make
the height of the shoulders uneven. Cy-
cling renders women awkward in their
walk; they gradually come to move with
plunging kind of motion the reverse of
graceful, and frequently cultivate weak
ness OF back which makes them hold them
selves badly. Riding is one-sided, and
women who have habitually ridden for
years usually have one hip higher than the
other. Croquet really does not give e1er-
else, and after survey of all the ways he
knew in which women take physical exer
else, he considered none so conducive to
health and beauty of form as walking. 1t
ought to be persevered in, and done in all
but the worst weather, and particularly in
winter. It is the cheapest and safest, too.
A woman NAV be hurt with ball at tennis,
injured of horse or tricycle., or receive
blow on the head from club at golf, which
is now being INDUCED in by females
Another physician considers that nothing
is more conducive to the improvement of
race vet unborn than the practice of rowing;
but many mothers forbid their daughters to
row much for fear of their hands becoming
unduly large. Small hands certainly give
an effect of refinement to the appearance,
but the health and enjoyment to be had out
of an almost daily row are we'll worth the
sacrifice. Next to walking rowing is one of
the best exercises for Strengthening the
chest and invigoratin g the frame.

and the audience was delighted with ora

Tamperins With Letters,

The constant tampering with letters BY
dishonest carriers and others has long been
a perplexity to postoffice officials, and the
Government has recently issued an invita-
tion to the inventors of this and other
countries to submit their ideas for some
means of putting an end, or at all events,
the methods suggested comes one from a
New Jersey woman, who has devised
special envelope for the purpose. The in
vention consists in printing small device,
of any shape on the under side OF the flap
of the gummed envelope in a sensitive
fluid. The fluid is stable when dry, but will
run or spread on the application of steam
or moisture, thereby showing at once
whether the letter has been rampered with.
