Getting Drunk on Alcoholic Air.


There can be little doubt that the air of
distilleries wine and spirit vaults and
drinking saloons must at times contain
appreciate amounts of alcohol and the
question has arisen as to whether air
conta ming tra ceS of alcohol would be
prejudca1 to health. Our attention has
been drawn by correspondent to one IN
stance in which definite steps were taken
TO ascertain whether the air of an Of
fee in a wine and spirit warehouse con-
tanned alcohol vapor.
It is we'll known. of course that where
wines and spirits are stored there is in
variably sort of alcoholic smell. and it
has been stated that walk through the
cellars at the London docks where large
quantities of spirits are stored. has at
first peculiarly stimulating effect fol-
lowed by depression and headache and
nausea. In the same way the stranger
on his first visit to the great sherry
bodegas in the south of Spain expert
ences at first a decided sense of ex-
hilaration with quickening of the pulse,
followed by narcotic effect, feeling
of languor, and headache. In the great
brandy stores at Cognac, again, to some
people the air is sickening.
It might be naturally expected that the
more volatile constituents of wines and
spirits would be the first to evaporate into
the air, and possibly the volatile ethers
would thus prevail. We have heard it
said that the effect of inhaling the air
OF the sherry vaults is more marked than
when other spirituous liquids are kept IL
the store. It is, of course, we'll known
that sherry is highly ethereal wine.
There would therefore. appear to be some
ground for concluding that when air is
inpregnated with the volatile vapors of
spirits or wines 1t has a marked effecr
upon health. Whether this effect would
be pronounced or not upon those inhaling
the air day by day does not appear to
have been ascertained with certainty It
is probable however, that any rate some
slight deteriora ton Of health would take
place.
1t is pretty commonly asserted that pub
lfcans and barmaids experience ill-effects
from the constant Inhalation Of an alco-
ho1-contaminated air, but their environ
ment of course. provides a combination
of unhealthy factors. According. to an
exa mina ton made of the air of distillery
it would appear that no less than an
ounce of proof spirit or half an ounce
of absolute alcohol may be present in
five cubic feet of air. It is obvious from
this result we think. that very APP
preciable amount of alcohol would be In
hailed during stay. say, of eight hours
in such air And since the alcohol by
the medium of the lungs would rapidly
gain access to the circula ton. the conclu-
sion must be in favor Of the view that
such air would in the long run be detri-
to 18th, and therefore that In
such case special arrangements for par
ticularIy efficient ventila ton i are 1nd

GREAT BATTLE NAGED
Bloody Engagement. Between
President Castro and Ven
ezuelan Revolutionists,


WILLENsTAD, ISLAND OF CURA'
GOA, October 15-News has reached here
that the battle near LaVictoria, Venezue-
la, between The forces of President Cas-
tro and the Venezuelan revolutionis.s
which began Monday morning. has SO far
been without definite results. Only a
portion of the revolutionists were en-
gagged. The government mas lost 2ii men
and the revolutonists $40. The govern
ment cannot obtain renfOrcements from
Caracas as the German railway from
there to LaVictoria is in the hands of the
enemy. The lighting was resumed yester-
day.
General Matos, leader of the revolution.
and General Mendoza, were not present.
Inc only rebel generals engaged wese
Guevara. Torres, Ciespo, and Antuniis
Fernadez. who had with them about S,IUG
men, representing the advance guard OF
the revOlutionists.
President Castro twice led a charge in
person. and showed great courage and
GOODNESS. His lieutenant. General Alcan-
tara, who was at one time at the West
Point Military Academy, was MORALLY
wounded.
The arrival at the scene of battle at 5
o'clock Monday afternoon of Vice-Presi-
dent Gomez and 500 men, with a large
amount of ammunition. saved the situa-
ton for the government. AT that time
the odds were largely against President
Castro, but the arrival Of reinforcements
improved his position. Monday night the
revolutionists still retained their posi-
lions.
The fight started again Tuesday and at
10 clock in the morning Castro retired
to LaVictoria. AT o'clock the fighting
ceased on both sides.
News of the engagement having reached
Generals Matos and Mendoza, they hasten
ed to the scene and arrived at a point
near LaVictoria yesterday with the rest
of the revolutionary army, which now
numbers about 5000 men. The reinforce
ments under Matos and Mendoza intended
to take part in the renewal of hostilities
to-day.
President Castro appears to be surround
ed by his enemies. The town Of Ell Con-
sejo, which lies back of LaNictoria, is
occupied by the revolutionsts. Valencia
is believed to be doomed. The town was
attacked by General Riera on Monday and
Tuesday.
Those who were wounded in the fighting
are still without medical assistance or
care. They lie on the battlefield as they
fell. and the scene there is one of great
horror.
