Blast Furnace Gas Motors.

In western Europe, and particularly in
Germany, the employment of motors util-
izing gases from blast furnaces is in
creasing, says the Youths Companion.
1t is said that the use of these gases,
which is not so common in England or
the United States, effects a considerable
saving in the cost of founding. Tho
motors thus driven are employed princi-
pally for actuating air compressors and
electric generators.

MOUNTAIN AIR.
Why It Is More HealthfuI Than That
of Lower Attitudes

s
The only reason why mountain air
is healthier than low air is that noun
tain air is cleaner than low air The
chemical composition of the atmos
phere differs but little, if at all, wher
ever the sample be taken. On Pixies
peak the relation of oxygen to nitro
gen and other constituents of the at
mosphere is the same as at the level
of the ocean. The favorable effects
therefore of q change Of air are not tc
be explained by any difference in the
proportion of its gaseous constituents.
One important difference, however, is
the meteorological one. The air of
high attitudes contains no microbes
and is, in fact. sterile, while near the
ground and some 100 feet above it
microbes are abundant.
In the air of Chicago and other
crowded places not only does the mi
crobe impurity increa.3, but other i'm
purities, such as the products Of com
bustion Of coal. accrue also. Several
investigators have found traces of hy-
drogen and certain hydrocarbons in
the air, and especially in the air of pine,
oak and birch forests. It is to those
bodies, doubtless consisting of traces
of essential oils, to which the curative
effects of certain health resorts are
ascribed. Thus the locality Of a fir
forest is said to give relief in diseases
OF the respiratory tract. But all the
same, these traces of essential oils and
aromatic products must be counted,
strictly speaking, as impurities. since
they are not apparently necessary con-
stituents of the air. AS recent analy.
ses have shown. these bodies tend to
disappear in the air as a higher alti-
tude is reached until they disappear
together.-LouisviIle Dispatch.
