Look Well to the Air in Your Offices and
Rooms.

DR.. Henry sewall. Secretary State Board of
Health, Colorado.
The combustion of the product of a
common gas jet depends upon the
amount of oxygen In the atmosphere of
a room. The more oxygen there is the
greater will be the combustion. Gas,
therefore, burns brighter in well aired
room. AS the air grows more foul the
less the combustion is and the greater the
quantity of the poisonous gases thrown
out. A gas jet is said to consume as
much pure air as two men. Coal differs
in quality, and consequently the gas We
burn differs tremendously and the pois-
ons thrown off are many. Carbon mo-
noxide is the most deadly in its effect
Monoxide has greater affinity for the
blood than oxygen, and forces 1t out Of
the corpuscles and causes asphyxiation.
The poison made by respiration and
burning gas is a depressing poison. and
is not usually detected until the atmos-
phere becomes heavily laden. There are
great objections to gas stoves which have
no chimneys, as the sulphurous and other
poisons all remain.

PHILLIP AS A soUArTER.

Col. Phillip Schweitzer, more famil-

in the role of a squatter last week,
and took charge of an unoccupied
adobe house at No. 107 College street.
He procured candle and some dishes
and put a new lock on the front door
and moved in. 1t is presumed he was
to have moved his family, composed
of a number of Mexicans, in his new
home the next day, but the owner
of the premises happened by and sup
posing the pee had been invested by
lot of tra1ps, securely nailed up

Bolton follows Sherman in her cur
few ordinance. They are wise meas
ures for the prevention of youthful
indiscretions, and in time may prevent
growth in criminal practices as the re-
suit Of the pernicious influences of the
street night school. If parents and
guardians fail in their duty it is the
province Of the state to step in and
prevent If possible the crime factory
from running night as well as day.
Right here is where the prevention
that is better than cure gets in its
work.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER II, 1885,

Dallas has gigantic scheme on pa
per to canalake the rivers Of the state
so as to bring the traffic Of the gulf
to Dallas by way of the Trinity, to
Waco by way Of the Brazos, to Hous-
ton by way Of the Bayou, to Victoria
through Arkansas bay. The amount
required would only be the insignifi-
cant sum 100000 and this it is pro-
posed to raise by direct taxation up
on the people of the state. The bril-
liant originators of the scheme see
millions in it (for Dallas, but it goes
without remark that all the eloquence
of the tribunes of the Trinity will
never induce Texas to lay herself I'M
der a burden like that in order to
see how far the results will
meet the expectations of the towering
imaginations of Dallas. All the same
the thing reads well as a munchausen
kind of what-it-may-be.

What is the matter with the Ger
man consul at New York that one of
his Infatuated countrymen should at
tempt his assassination? The police
know nothing; the consul general,
Feigel, says that he knows nothing;
the clerks know nothing; the man
himself says nothing save that his
name is Ludwig Schutt. 1t is a clear
case of foreign know-nothingism, with
a domestic theater for it's attempted
tragedy.
