WASHINGTON, November 25.-As re-
suit OF the late visitation Of yellow fe-
yer and the investigations which have
followed it, bill for national quaran-
tine will receive great accession Of
strength at the coming session. Its
friends claim that il can be passed with
out difficulty. There was a strong feel
ing favorable to the general government
taking the matter in hand among
the Southern delegates 10 the
late Health Convention at Richmond,
although their attention was called to
the fact that such oversight was con-
trary to all former ideas Of their sec
ton in regard to State rights. 1t was
admitted that the States could not act
with sufficient accord to make protec-
ton complete. The idea Of the bill now
proposed is to have the national quaran-
tine 90 into effect the lst Of May, and
continue till about the middle Of Mo-
vember. The matteris placed in charge
Of the navy, and the necessary expense
to be appropriated by Congress under
special head.

Those who have not recently explored the
lower levels OF the leading mines OF the Com
stock can have but a very faint conception Of
the heat prevailing therein at the present
tlme The heat is terrible even In the winter,
when the air flowing naturally into such
mines as have downcast shafts and forced
into others with blowers is freezing cold,
but now that the air on the surface has
a temperature Of fromo 775 to 800 it is
simply killing. Not only is the air as hot as
the breath of a furnace, but in most places
where men are obliged to work it is deficient in
oxygen, that life-supporting ingredient having
been burnt out by the many candles used
and in various ways absorbed and exhausted.
A temperature of 1909 to 1902 is so much
above blood heat that the process OF cooking
begins in the human frame. But for the floods
Of perspration covering the body the flesh
would really be cooked to a certain extent. A
temperature above the natural heat of the
body undoubtedly attacks it and causes the
flesh to undergo the first stages OF cooking.
This happens to a miner the moment per-
spiration ceases to flow from the pores of his
skin. The stomach is first affected, then the
brain. It is probably through disorder OF and
sickness at the stomach that perspiration is
checked. AS soon as perspiration ceases to
