bringing divers out of the water too
quickly, and his suggestions have
done much to make their calling less
hazardous.
AS the result of his most recent ex-
periments DR.. Hill contends that
ventilation is not a question of the
chemical purity of the air, but that
the evils of illy-ventilated rooms arise
almost entirely from their excessive
heat and humidity or their excessive
dryness to a certain extent from the
offensive smell.
The ideal temperature for room
in which a number of people are gath
cred is from 81 to go degrees, he says.
According to the rules of the Home
Office only 1 to per thousand of
carbonic acid should be allowed in {,
room, but DR.. Hill states that 20 to
300 parts per thousand will do no
harm If the air is kept cool.
The experiments took place in a
chamber eight feet high and four and
one-half feet sqpare. In this small
space DR.. Hill crammed eight
healthy medical students and sealed
them in. They remained there half
an hour until the chamber contained
to 5 per cent. Of carbonic acid and
Is per cent. of oxygen. The temper
ature rose to IS degrees and as the
air became saturated with the mois-
ture the students became intensely
hot and uncomfortable. When they
were examined their pulse showed
an acceleration beyond what would
be normally experienced in a COO
place. The doctor then set a mum
Der of electric fans in the top of the
chamber in motion The students in
a short time were able to endure
the heat and even to work in com
parative comfort in spite of the Gloss
confinement and high per centage o
carbonic acid in the air. This wa!
because the air at 85 degrees wa;
cooler than the bodies of the subject
and while in brisk motion it was SUI
ficient to make them quite comfort
able.
DR.. Hill in his lecture on the result
of the experiments declared that tn
age Of heating houses and trains il
winter was coddling the race and tent
ing to break down the natural dc
fensive mechanism of the body, rer
dering it thereby more liable to il
ness. He said:

A Good Sleeper.

Talleyrand used to tell an extraordi-
nary story of the impassiveness Of
Louis XVIII. When he was minister
Of foreign affairs a courier came to
him one evening bearing unpleasant
news, and he therefore postponed the
communication Of it to the king till
next morning, when he explained that
he was afraid the tidings might have
disturbed his majesty's sleep. The
king replied: Nothing disturbs my
sleep, as you may see from this in
stance The most dreadful blow Of
my life was my brothers death. The
courier who brought this dreadful
news arrived at 8 o'clock in the even
ing. For many hours l was quite
overcome, but at midnight l went to
bed and slept my usual eight hours"
The story is told by the Duchesse de
Dino, Talleyrand's niece, in her men,
oirs.

Shields For Soldiers.

Experiments conducted in England
suggest the possibility that shields
may once more form an important
part of the equipment Of an army.
Steel shields three millimeters in
thickness and about $50 square inches
In area have been devised, which at
ford complete protection against bul.
lets fred from the service rifle at a
range Of 400 yards.
The small size Of the shield, which
weighs only seven pounds, requires
that the soldier shall lie prone on the
ground in order to be sheltered Each
shield has loophole for the rifle and
studs at the sides, so that a series Of
them can be linked into continuous
screen. The idea is that by the use
of such shields the necessity Of dig
ging trenches may often be avoided

A uniform scale of printing will
be prepared by the postoffice de-

of printing will be such that a rea-

The order relating to the print

an evil of long standing, against

years, for the reason that the price
charged for envelopes was less than
the stock would be purchased by
