Effect of Poison Gases on Troops.

Certain gases have for their more
immediate object, the irritation of the
eyes (the lachrymatory gases, one part
IN million of air being effective), tenn
oorarily binding the victim; others
are designed for the irritation Of the
aose (the "sneeze-gases''), making it
almost impossible for the fighter to
overcome the tendency to throw Off
his mask; and others again, for the
production of burns when in contact
with the flesh, which are of a most
distressing character, and, even if
they do not cause death, incapacitate
the victim for service for period of
months. The last-named gases are
likewise toxic and lachrymatory to a
high degree. The so-called mustard
gas" a compound somewhat similar
In character to mustard oil, but far
more of an irritant, has proved par
ticularly destructive, and doubtless ac-
counts for many of the casualties in
recent attacks.-Henry P. Talbot, in
