The City. Sanitary Condition.
10 tha kdnor OF III, Register:

To the hQu0r or Ms hsgtStsT:
SIR:-I see where some parties are
airing themselves through your valua-
bic paper about the so-called neglect OF
the garbrge contractor falling to do his
work. There is some other motive be-
hind said reports besides Heglect of
duty on said contractors part. Whilst
il is essential TO see that the city should
sec TO it that the sworn officers Of the
city Of Wheeling, who are paid to keep
such as the Health Officer, for
instance, Notwithstanding that be
claims that he had two very efficient
college educated young gentleman for
his assistance as health oflicers-that
said gentlRmen had made weekly ex-
animation OF all the cesspools and gut
tiers OF the city Of Wheeling during
their time of service. In his employ
ment, il I am not mistaken. ! believe 1t
is the first time in the history OF Wheel
ing that health officer OF this city
went to the trouble of hiring college
bred and fed handles for his assistants
as health officers, for the simple reason
that such high toned gents could not

because the foul gases and stencil aris-
ing from the neglected cutters, of which
the Health Officer has been notified
time and again, was too strong for their
refined constitutions TO inhale. The
gentleman seems TO be very much
grieved at losing the services OF such
valuable assistants, as 1t seems he can
not get along very we'll without their
services. Now, as citizens and tax
payers in the vicinity OF Thirty-third
and Market streets, we respectfully call
the attention of the Health Committee
TO the horrible condition OF the gutter
in our neighborhood, on Thirty-third
street. 1t has not been cleaned
for two years, and the stencil
therefrom surpasses any garbage stencil
in the city, no matter OF how long q
standing. called the attention OF the
health officer 10 IL on several occasions,
and he said he would attend 10 IL with
out delay, but he has never done any
thing ia the line OF cleaning IT, so far.
When l called attention to it again this
morning, his answer was that the last
rains had cleaned It. Now, Mr.. Editor,
l think the health officer deserves hav-
ing a hornets nest let loose about his
dignifled ears, so as to sting him to his
sense of duty as health officer, and the
city would be in better sanitary condi-
ton than at present. TAXPAYERS.

five years. In the Benwood Junction

was member OF the A. o. u. W., the
Jr. o. U. A. NJ and the Brotherhood Of
Machinlsts. His family ties are wife

Why does not n man weigh pound
more Immediately after eating pound
weight of food? A little reflection will
readily explain this apparent mystery.
During the process of mastication. de-
glutition, etc, certain muscles are
brought into active play, and the exer-
else of any muscle necessitates a tempo
rary waste of its tissues, and a certain
amount Of carbon is eliminated and
passed off during the course of the meal.
This loss, however, is trifling as com
pared with that due to respiration and
perspiration, both of which are increased
during the various operations of making
q meal.
The length of time one may take to
consume POUND of food makes but lit
tie difference to those losses, for if it is
eaten leisurely there is but slight in
crease of respiration or perspiration,
whereas if it is hurried through both are
abnormally accelerated. Hence by the
time the pound is eaten the consumer
has lost appreciably in moisture and car
bonic acid.-Million.

The Evolution of Names.

The evolution of names from foreign
tongues into English is in many cases
easy. From the German Bauer to the
English Bowers, and from the French
Boulanger to the English Bullinger is
but a step, as it were. But there are no
people who are oftener more numorously
accused of altering their names than the
Irish. Thus, Crehan has become Rehan;
Carroll. Karl; Dillon, Dyllyn; Diver,
Devere and Devyr; McCarty, Macartee
and Makart; Slattery, Slater and Satter.

The Expansion of solid Bodies.

An ingenious instrument for measur-
ing the expansion of minute solid bodies
is found in the list of inventions. The
substance is placed in the field of mi
croscope and an image of it magnified
several times is thrown on a screen.
This image is further magnifed by two
micrometer microscopes which accur-
ately determine the expansion. The
substanceis heated in little platinum
oven through which an electric current
passes, and the temperature of the oven
is arrived at by observations on the
melting of standard substances. BY the
use of this instrument the thermal ex-
pansion of any substance even to the
smallest diamond can be determined un-
til the temperature of combustion is
reached.
