THE PoISONS IN COAL GAS
Many Are Known, But There Is One
Constituent That Is a Puzzle
to Scientists.

The poisonous properties Of coal gas
are generally attributed to its content
Of carbonic oxide, especially as no
other substance of known poisonous
properties has been found in II, 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, 1t seems
probable that we must revise this
view for on making experiments with
frogs, animals particularly resistant to
carbonic oxide, IL was found that they
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
1t contained. Evidently there is some
other constituent Of coal gas which is
poisonous, though what II is cannot
yet be stated. Merely removing the
carbonic oxide from coal gas will not
suffice to render IL non-poisonous.-

PEOPLE Who Aruue.

There are some people who are
never convinced. They will argue a
subject out for hours at a stretch,
and be no nearer a solution than they
were at the start.
It is hopeless to try to convince
such a person on any subject. The
truth is, 1t gives them pleasure to
argue, and the more you disagree with
them the better they are pleased. II
you find yourself dropping into the
habit, try to drop out again as soon az
possible.
