Death" was the most terrible thing in
the world to them. They feared il "a
people now fear the Cholera and Yell

that causes more misery and more
deaths than any of these. 1t is so COM
mon that nine-tenths of all the sick
ness in the world is traceable to IT, II

Carbon monoxide, or carbonic oxide,
Is the most dangerous Of all the gases
given off from coal fires, as it is a
true poison, and, instead of destroying
life by suffocation or exclusion of oxy-
gen, it has a direct action on the blood,
apparently altering the character of
the red corpuscles. It-and not car
bon dioxide or earbonic acid-causes
the headaches and sense of oppression
sometimes experienced in coal heated
rooms, so small proportion as O.5 per
cent. in the air occasionally giving Use
to alarming symptoms. But late pa
per to the Paris Academy Of Sciences
suggests that there may be risks from
furnace heating yet unknown, as in
only one case out of ten Of mysterious
accident attributable TO carnations
from heated iron pipes was carbOnie
oxide found to the extent Of O.04 per
cent. The delicacy Of the msans Of
testing was shown by experiments
with an iron stove kept at dull red
heat, the presence Of 0.Ol5 per cent. Of
carbonic oxide in the air being demon
strated.

The British consul general in Japan

The British consul general in Japan,
In a recently issued report, states that
lowing to the financial depression In
America, that country has made it's ap-
pearance as a serious competitor with
Europe In the supply OF machinery,
rails, nails and pig iron. 1t has been
stated that American nails have be n
sold largely in Japan about the end of
1896 at 80 per cent. lower than prices
current in the United States, and these
goods altogether defied the COMPETE
ton Of German makers, who have hith-
erto held the trade. About 80, 900 tons
of American rails we're sold to Japan
at lower prices than British makers
were willing to accept" Another mat
ter Of some Importance, and one which
may have considerable bearing on the
future of the American iron and steel
trade, Is discussed in Mr.. Sanderson's
report. 1t Is, that the United States,
not content with its enormous railway
mileage, is providing mean for i'm
proving It's water carriage. The ex-
listing canals, such as the Erie, the
Champlain, the Oswego, the Black
River, the Cayuga and Seneca, are to
be widened and deepened. Besides
this. a commission of inquiry as to
deep-water canals has recently made a
report.

woman, says it is the farmers wives
who really do the work on their hus-
bands acres, while the men reap the
credit and profit. She proposes to give
the gentler sex a chance to "go IT
alone" She owns a tract of land in
Dawes and Sioux counties, Neb., which
she intends to give to a cooperative
community OF women on condition
that they work it themselves without
the assistance of male farm hands.
She will furnish them with money to
last until the first crop is harvested,
and will guarantee any Indebtedness
they may incur in the purchase of ma
chinery and stock while getting a
start. She already has in mind twelve
women to whom she proposes to give
the land. All are formers widows and
all are in destitute circumstances. Mrs.
Bemis thinks they deserve assistance,
and Is sure they will know fully as
we'll how to go to work as would a like
number OF men. She hopes to make
farming popular with and de-
ciares there is no reason why they
should not find 1t well suited to them.
