a SUGGESTIVE ExAMPLE.

The Sacramento Chamber of Com
merce held its annual meeting Wednes-
day evening last. 1t was a most inn
portant convocation, and took up and
treated of many questions of high pub
lie interest Among them was the
funding bill matter, the chamber APP
proving of funding the railroad debts
or the basis of fifty years extension of
time, and giving its reasons therefor.
But not a single morning paper of San
Francisco mentioned even the fact that
the annual meeting was held, though
their Sacramento reporters were pres
ent at the assembly, and enjoyed the
hospitality of the Pioneers who BAN
Quoted the chamber after the business
session.
In other words, the San Francisco
morning papers suppressed the news of
the action of the chamber on all the
subjects of which it treated, because
one resolution was not in enmity to the
southern Pacific Company and in en-
couragement of the wrecSing crusade
of the metropolitan morning dailies.
Now notice how differently the "Ex-
aminer." for instance, acts in the case
OF the San Jose Board Of Trade;
The record-union., 1896-02-17
CONTAMINATION OF AIR.

According to the Popular Science
Monthly" Billings, Mitchell and Ber-
gey, each eminent in the medical world,
have agreed that
There is no peculiar organic matter
which is poisonous to animals (exclud-
ing NAM in the air expired by healthy
mice, SparroWs, rabbits, guinea pigs or
men. The injurious effects of such air
appeared to be due entirely to the dimi-
mutton of oxygen or the increase of car
bonic acid, or to combination of these
two factors. 1t is very improbable that
the minute quantity of organic matter
contained in the air expired from hui
man lungs has any deleterious influ-
efice upon men who inhale it in ordinary
rooms. In ordinary quiet respiration
no bacteria are contained in the expired
air. In the act of coughing or sneezing
such organisms may be thrown out.
The minute quantity of ammonia, or of
combined nitrogen, or other oxidizable
matters found in the condensed moist
ure of human breath appears to be
lagely due to products of the decompo-
sition of organic matter which is con-
stantly going on in the mouth and
pharynx.
This agreement would appear to fly
in the face of commonly received opin-
ion, and if sound, is comforting. 1t is
added by the magazine quoted that
tests made with the air of hospitals
where patients are confined in rooms or
wards prove that there are many more
sources of air contamination than ex-
pired air from human lungs. Thus it
was found that the most important
communicating agents were particles of
fine dust, in which were carried micro
organisms, including some bacteria,
and that these were really the only
dangerous elements in the air.
This conclusion confirms the Rec
ord Union in the contention in which
it engaged some years ago, that car
pets ought to be excluded from the
home; that there is much more ILL
health due to the use of carpets than
is generally supposed, and that true
domestic economy dictates the filling
of floor cracks, the polishing or shell
lacing of the wood and the use of rugs,
which should be very often removed
from the rooms, thoroughly shaken in
the open air and exposed to the purf-
flying effects of sunlight. In the sick
