It's percentage depending upon the vol. ume of the smoke gas, varies between 06 and 7.6.

Whether the daily taking In of the small quantity of carbonic oxide which, through many years of smoking, gets into the blood of smok- srs, cannot set up a chronic injury. is . question still to be sA'''ed

THE NOTE ACCEPTED.
Chinese Ministers Ordered tc
Sign.
IMPERIAL INSTRUCTIONS A SURPRISE
Vi Hung Chang Said to Have Urged
the Throne to Yield Complete
Compliance to Foreign
no

PEKING, Dec. 31.-The Chinese pleni
potentiaries have been unexpectedly or
| dered to sign the preliminary joint note
and have notified the foreign ENJOYS to
| that effect.
The Chinese themselves were greatly
astonished at receiving the imperial in
structions. Neither Ii Hung Chang mol
Prince Ching has expected success in
persuading the court under ten days.
The emperor's instructions are to agree
fully to the note, but to endeavor to get
the best terms possible, particularly in
the matter of limiting the number of the
legation guards and also as to the places
where these are to be located.
The plenipotentiaries are instructed to
endeavor to limit the number of army
posts along the line of railway to as few
as possible and finally to request the
powers not to destroy the forts, but mere
~ to disarm them.
Lii Hung Changes health is bad, and ii
is doubtful whether he will be able to dc
more than affix his signature to an instru
ment deegating his powers to Prince
Ching until another plenipotentiary has
been appointed. He was dressed yester
day morning and carried in chair to the
residence of Prince Ching, with whom
he held a long consultation. Prince Ching
then called upon the doyen of the diplo-
matte corps, the Spanish minister, Senol
de Cologan, and requested him to notify
the other ENJOYS that instructions had
been received from the emperor to sign
the note.
The foreign communities in PEEK M G
greatly gratifed at the decided tone Of
the collective note and the assertion that
the powers are determined to- entCrtai
10 proposals for the modification Of their
demands. 1t is understood Ii Hung Chang
sent Il memorial to the throne, couchcd
i'll very strong terms, urging complete
compliance

Poison In Heer.

CHICAGO, Dec 2S.-The possibility
of arsenical poisoning by beer was the
topic of popular interest at the opening
session of the convention Of the American
Chemical society here. The 100 chemists
from all parts of the country turned from
,lisc0urses on atoms and elements and
joined in the argument growing out OF
The recent wholesale poisoning in Eng
land DR.. Edward Gudeman charged the
brewers with wilfully introducing into
beer an arsenical antiseptic to prevent
the fermentation of the beverage from
too far, and his assertion
proved the sensation of the session. Sew
eral other chemists spoke on the question,
urging that all beer and other brewed
liquors should be thoroughly analysed to
protect the consumers from dangers of
