itself appears to be mimportant, is at
tested by experience. Many theoretical
explanations have been offered to account
Tor this fact a consideration of which
would here be out of place. The shock
from an injury may prove fatal in two
cases.
First, when the blow leaves no trace
behind it, and second, where great VIC
lenCe has been done to some important
organ without occasioning a sufficient
amount of hemorrhage to.prOduce death.
If a person receive, for instance a viO-
lent blow in the pit of the stomach or
behind the car, he may be almost in
simultaneously deprived of life. On post
mortem examination there may be found
externally but slight marks Of confusion,
and internally neither laceratiOn, tract
ure nor hemmorrhage by which the cause
can be brought into any visible relation
with che fatal result"

other authorities on this subject which,
while they might be interesting to the
professional mind would not be thor

Again, for fear the writer may be mis-
understood. it will be well to repeat: No
healthy pugilist, well trained, is likely to
be killed by blow from the fist of an an
tagOniSt providing he observes the rules
laid down for pugilists about to enter a
contest, that is, in regard to eating, etc.
Donovan, in the writer's opinion (al-
ways taking into consideration that he
does not know whether an autopsy was
made, and, if so, what its result might
have been) was probably not killed
by the mere shock of the knockout blow
from Dunfee's fist-that is, providing he
was in condition
Proper training enters largely into tho
study of such cases. If, as already stated,
Donovan was in good condition, he must
have suffered from some organic trouble
perhaps unknown to himself or friends
or he would have recovered (cyen after
hours of uucOnsciOusness) from the mere
effects of the fist blow, no matter what
the strength with which it was delivered.

architects, who know better than any one
clsc-flre engineers excepted what

that some insurance men had been seized
with the notion that 4 building with pitch

Architects. of course, do not need TO be
told that the contrary is the case. While
pitch is undoubtedly an infammablo ma

cubic foot of pitch pine, which weighs
about fifty pounds will burn with much
more intensity than cubic foot of spruce

fifty pounds Of coal will produce
more heat than thirty pounds: but the
same rule applies 10 the extra thickness of
floors 50 much favored by underwriters,
and it is not at all evident why an add
