Ter DIniesty 20 Purchase MuclsrosS
Abbey. Beautiful Residence.
A recent cable dispatch from Lon
aon announced that Queen Victoria
purposes TO purchase the mansion and
Estates of Muclsross, Ireland, with a
'iew of establishing permanent royal
residence there.
Muckross House--or, as it Is some
dmes called, Mucllross Abbey-is built
hpon the shore of Muclross lake.
The demesne gates are close to the
village of Muckross. with its pic
luresque inn of the same name-a
hostlery which is well known TO Amer
lean tourists. Standing among its
well-trimmed lawns and luxuriant
gardens. the mansion commands a
beautiful view, lofty mountains, thick
wooded forests aud shimmering sheets
Of water stretching away in the land
scape.
The mountain glens and forests
neighboring The demesne Of Muckross
Abbey are celebrated for their red
deer, and the hall of the mansion is
decorated with gigantic antlers, taken
from stays shot in the vicinity. These
trophies so excited the interest Of the
prince consort that he remarked TO his
host, the late Col. Herbert. that he had
no idea "stags with such antlers could
be shot in Ireland" Col. Herbert re-
piled that much finer specimens were
still roaming wild in the Killarney
woods. About four years ago the larg-
est red deer buck ever shot in the United
Kingdom was killed on the Muclross
estate.
Standing in the hall of the mansion
there is u clock of the tall, conin-like
Ease variety. The case is OF exquisite
" carved and inlaid wood, and the dial
is of beautifully wrought silver. 1t has
astronomical and meteorological at
tachments, and a peculiarly musical
chime. The entire design is very an
tique. This clock was purchased at a
sale of curiosities in London, about
so years ago, and is believed to have
been taken from despoiled monastery
I'm Germany. One of the English
Rothschilds while visiting Muclross
Abbey offered the father of the pres
ent owner q signed blank check for this
clock.
Hanging in one Of the rooms is a por-
trait Of the famous countess OF Dcs-
mond, who lived to the age of $50
years, and who is said TO have cut a
complete set Of new teeth when over
100 years old, and who iourneyed 10
the England court shortly before her
death to petition James 1. TO remove
the attainder for treason from her
family.
The entire estate Of the Muckross
Herberts comprises about 10000 acres
The rent roll is estimated at some 6 IL.
600 year, or 100000. A considerabl,
portion Of this territory is forest ant
mountain, highly valued for its hunt
ing privileges. The River Laune, which
flows through the domain, is one of tho
finest salmon stre1ms Il the Unitet
Kingdom. The region is at once
paradise of verdure and vegetation an,

CAUSE OF suNsTRoKE.
n Is said to BE the Result OF an Acut
Poison.


It Is Said 10 BE the Result of nm Acute
Poison.
II Is now established that sunstroke
Is the result of "acute. intense and vir-
ulent poison, originating within the
body, acting rapidly and violently upon
the nervous ystem." 1t was upon this
assumption that DR.. Ira Van Glesen. di-
rector OF the state pathological insti-
tute of this city, went to work. lie pro-
cured the body fluids and excretions Of
living cases of sunstrole, and with
them experimental upon animals with
most remarkable results.
Prompt and decisive results were OBJ
tained from injections of blood serum
taken from patients during the period
OF what is known as hyperpyrexia. AL
though DR.. Van Glesen has noted tho
fatal results in some such cases which
could not be attributed to the inicc-
tion of the material, he believes that
there "wos sno mistaling the cause Of
death which occurred so uniformly IN
these animals in succession. This re-
suit is in consonance with the hypothe-
sis that the rapidly fatal course in se-
we're eases OF sunstroke IS due 10 an in-
tense, rapidly acting poison, circu-
lating in the body fluids"
Other experiments involving the in
lection Of urine from convalescent pa
tients into the blood circulation ofrab-
bits was also attended by interesting
results. DR.. Van Giesen thinks that lit
is not too much 10 say that the virulence
of the autotoxic poison in some cases OF
sunstroke is fully as rapid and violeat
rs snake venom, and considerably re-
sembles its action. Cases Of sunstroke
which entered the hospitals with pur-
pie. swollen faces, rapid and very much
enfeebled heart action, and profound
collapse, with death occurring within
one to two hours, are surely examples
Of the effects of the most violent pois-
ons that we know ON. Y. Journal.
