Vacant West Point Csdetships.

Is it possible that the cadetships at
West Point are going a-begging? Il is
announced in the annual report Of the
superintendent OF the Military Academy
that there IS a large and increasing num-
Der Of principals and alternates desig-
mated for cadetships who have failed TO
report for examination. With the result
that the corps Of cadets Is far below its
authorized strength. It Is something Of
a problem TO ascertain why there should
be such a diSinclination on the part Of
the young men TO appear for examina-
ton for entrance 10 the Military Academy
when there is the common impression
that these appointments are in great de-
mand. The shortage Of cadets has
reached such proportions that the super
ntendent OF the Academy now recon-
mends the appointment Of nearly 100 ex-
ira cadets. to the end that the corps Of
cadets may be maintained al the present
authorized strength. One remedy IS also
suggested in the form Of offering more
inducements for the alternstes to report

Increase in Gas Poisoning.

A timely paper on Illuminating gas
poisoning b. Dr.. Glenn 1 Jones. Of
George Washington University, appears
IN the American Journal Of the Medical
Sciences for January. The author notes
a progressive increase Of the number OF
cases Of gas poisoning in large cities
during the last ten years. In nineteen
cities 400 cases have been reported in
a single year. with 50 deaths. OF which
go were suicides Notwithstanding that
a considerable number Of the deaths
from gas poisoning are self-inhicted,
DR.. Jones thinks the increase in gas
poisoning the reverse Of our expecta-
lions" He points out that defects Of
plumbing cannot be a contributing cause.
for buildings are more carefully and in
diligently inspected than they formerly
we're. His theory is that concentration
Of population in cities. an Increased
tendency. 10 suicidal mania. and laws re-
strieting the sale Of toxic drugs have
had a part in swelling the death rate
from gas poisOnS.
While these factors doubtless have had
their influence. it is probable thar the
greatly increased toxieity Of the gas
produced nowadays accounts for a con
siderable proportion of the fatalities
from the inhalation Of gas. DIT. Jones
shows that water gas contains 45 per
cent OF carbon moaoxide, or 50 per cent
more than gas distilled from coal the
latter containing but I per cent OF carbon
monoxide. Il is the deadly water gas
that kills IN these days: and 1t kills. too.
not so much by asphyxiaJion. as IS pop
ularly supposed. as by producing con-
spicuous and facilitating changes in the
blood. resulting in the formation Of toxic
substances that quickly paraIyze all the
bodily activities. "Asphyxia is not often
the cause Of DEATH DR.. Jones concludes
fact that in itself indicates where re-
sponsibility for the growing casualty
list due TO gas poisoning lies. That the
death rate has increased since the intro
duction OF modern methods Of manufac-
turing gas is another important count
