The P0Is0Ns IN COAL GAS
Many Are Known, But There Is One

The poisonous properties Of coal gas

OF carbonfc oxide, especially as no
other substance of known poisonous
properties has been found in it, and
patients. suffering from coal gas poison,
ing show the symptoms associated
with the inhalation of carbonic oxide
Including the peculiar bright red color
OF the blood. From experiments made
by DR.. Won Vahlen, at Halle. it seems
probable that we must revise this
view, for on making experiments with
frogs, animals particularly resistant to
carbonIc oxide, it was found that thew
were poisoned far more rapidly by coal
gas than by the corresponding amount
OF the oxide. Other experiments with
dogs showed that the poisonous effect
OF coal gas was twice or three times
as great as that of the carbonic oxide

other constituent of coal gas which is

Tie RuIe Of the Road.

There appears to be no definite rec
ord explaining the prevailing custom
of turning our vehicles to the right
in this country One authority says
that it grew out of the fact that in our
early colonial days, before the arrival
of rigs for pleasure driving, the
drivers of heavy vehicles used IN
transportation fell into the way of
turning to the right.
The English custom of turning to
the left is an ancient one. 1t obtains
