DEATH FROM FIRE.
Lethai Sleep Enfoiis the Victim Be
fore the Flame Reaches Him.

Lethal Sleep Enfoiis the Victim Be
fore the Flame Reaches Him.
'Those who lose their lives ina con-
nagrations do not by any means al
ways suffer physical pain. In many
eases, no doubt. sharp terror Is the
one thing of which the victim is con-
scious. and in many more. strange as
It may seem, consciousness plays no
part, life ceasing painlessly and with
out a struggle. In great CONGREGATIONS
gases are produced which have much
the same effect as chloroform or sim
liar anesthetics. and il Is n fact that OF
of those who lose their lives in such
catastrophes a considerable proportion
pass into death without any evidence
of havil suffered. This result is pro
duced especially when fire has smol-
dered. when the access of air has
first been insufficient to cause complete
combustion, and when that deadl- gas,
carbonic oxide. has sent its victims into
lothal sleep before the actual flames
lave reached them.
"Of those. however. who have evil
IDENTITY Struggled and fought and whose
charred oorpses are afterward found In
attitudes suggestive of violent efforts
made in attempting TO escape it must
not be imagined that they have of ne
cessity been burned alive and have
died in the agony which such contor-
tons are popularity imagined to ex-
press.
Death from agony is really death
from shock, "A condition in which the
body is limp and helpless; whereas in
death from suffocation struggling may
90 on even after consciousness has
passed, and the strained attitude OF the
corpse may be expressive only of the
final paroxysmal effort made In a state
of entire unconsciOusness.
"Suffocation in fire depends on some
thing more than mere carbonic acid
poisoning. 1t is the stoppage of the
breathing by the sitting vapors which
does the mischief. Carbonic acid
would doubtless kill If It could be
breathed. but anyone who has attempt
ed to enter burning building will
know that suffocation depends not on
he stuff one breathes. but on the fact
than one cannot breathe at all. The
lungs are as much deprived OF their
supply Of oxygen as II the sufferer
were plunged over head in water, and
the struggle produced is much the
same. While. then, we must admi' the
horror of the moment. the terror, the
fight for breath. and finally the death
from suffocation. we must remember
that all this is often a matter OF short
duration. and that ii is something very
different from the slow torture Of be
ing burned alive. The Hospital.
