auiana,s VIE Climate.

The climate Of Guiana is not by any
means agreeable. Georgetown is within
six degrees of the equator, and the mer-
curry generally fingers around 90 and
100 degrees. The land is also low and
marshy in places. SO that fevers are
prevalent at all seasons of the year, and
a white man cannot live there unless he
takes extreme precaution to observe
certain essential rules. Negroes, on the
contrary, can live anywhere and break
the health rules laid down for the white
settlers. Yellow fever is an annual
plague in Georgetown. but the negro
population gives little thought to it, and
1t is uncommon to hear of one of their
number taking it. The coolies, who
compose about one-third the population,
are more susceptible to the poor climate
than the negroes, but are much harder
than the whites. The coolies are a
lighter and more slender race than the
negroes. but they are industrious and
moderately faithful workers, while the
negroes are lazy and INDECENT The real
hard and difficult work in the fields
that requires muscle is performed by the
negroes, but the steady, continuous,
light work is allotted to the coolies.
The two races are naturally hostile,
more SO than the Europeans and the ma
tives. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

DR.. sHRApY ON VENTILATION.
Some Venerable Theories on This Subject
That Have Been Exploded.

That Have Been Exploded.
The effect of expired air upon animal
life is the subject Of an interesting arti-
Gle In The Medical Record by DR..
George +. Shrady, its editor. 1--WE need
not. says DR.. Shrady, emphasize the
evil effects of what is usually called bad
ventilation. 1t is perhaps true that
acute diseases are not to be traced to
the same but it may be safely stated
that there is distinct deterioration of
vital forces In those who are constantly
subjected to the impure atmosphere of
badly ventilated rooms. The cause Of
the sickening sensation which comes
over us upon entering an atmosphere
contaminated with many breaths or of
the gradual deterioration of the vital
forces which follows confinement in such
an atmosphere is not known. For a
number of years prior to 1888 the view
prevailed that the discomfort and dan
ger to health and life in badly ventilat-
ed rooms were largely due to organic
matters contained in the air expired,
and that the increase in carbonic acid
due to respiration has but little effect in
producing the bad results. Recently,
however, several experimenters have
concluded that the organic matters in
the exhaled breath are not harmful. at
least to animals"
Referring to recent experiments on
the subject, DIR. Shrady says: 1.-THE re.
suits justify the conclusion that the dis
comfort felt in crowded, i'll ventilated
rooms is not due to excessive carbonio
acid or to bacteria or in most cases
to dusts of any kind, but is in reality
due to excessive temperature and un-
pleasant odors. Nothing in these ex-
periments shows the cause of the I'M
pleasant, musty odor of an unventilated
room, and attention is called to the
curious fact that cases of fainting in
crowded rooms usually occur in women
and are connected, the authors think,
with defective respiratory action due
to tight 1acing. Finally these investi-
cations, the authors declare, go to prove
that some of the theories upon which
modern systems of ventilation are based
are either without foundation or doubt
full, and that the problem of securing
comfort and health in inhabited rooms
requires the consideration of the best
methods OF preventing or disposing Of
dust OF various kinds, of regulating
temperature and moisture and of carry
ing off poisonous gases derived from
heating and lighting apparatus rather
than of simply diluting the air to a GER
tain standard of proportion of carbonic
acid present.

Queer Causes Found by the Tuner-Things

Piano tuners are sometimes called
upon to tune" gas fixtures as we'll as
pianos. Frequently the owner of fine

the chest, examine the tongue and over
haul the internal economy of the Of
Tending piano. His experienced ear
tells him that the piano is all right.
His intimate knowledge of the mechan-
ism and make up of the piano assures
him that nothing is the matter with the
instrument, and he says SO.
"But the piano does rattle insists
the owner. Now, listen when touch
this key" And, sure enough, decid-
ed buzz and jingle are heard.
'tIt is not in the piano" replies the
tuner, and he touches the key again and
again, at the same time glancing
around the room. There it is" he
says at last. pointing to the glass
globe around the gas jet. "There is the
RATHER" and the irritating noise is 81
fenced when he removes the glass globe.
This is common experience of piano
tuners. Certain notes in the piano vi
brate in harmony with gas fixture, a
picture frame, china plaque hung
against the wall or the bric-a- brac which
commonly litters the top of the sensi-
tive instrument, and the innocent piano
is blamed for the disoordant jangle.
Pins, buttons and other things foreign
to the piano which find their way into
the instrument set up complaints and
harsh cries when certain keys are
struck, and recently a piano tuner in
Evanston, searching for the rattle"

FROM GOAT TO BOAT.

Even the festive goat in this vernal sea-
son has his field sport on the common with
a tin can or the but of log. From the
sport of the goat in the spring to the varied
sports of early and late summer, what q
world of amusement and what q
scene of muscular activity. In all these,
ever so helpful, from the bat in the bali
field to the oar of the boat and the chatter
of the turf, there comes in large amount
of penalty in the shape of serious sprains
and troublesome bruises, but no man is
good athlete, nor does he develop we'll from
such exercises without his full share of
both. 1t is a good thing, therefore, that
there is provided something which, if al
ways kept ready, is always ready to cure
promptly these sudden and painful mis-
haps. st. Jacobs Oil, without question,
passes among all sportsmen as the thing to
have, par excellence, in all kinds of sports.
1t has gained its best reputation from its
best cures of this nature, and the man who
would enjoy freely the summer sports
would be almost foolish not to keep bot
tie about him.

strongly prohibits its captains from tax

superstition is that if anything should
