The entire absence of sanitary arrange ment in Chinese towns and villages being veil known, it goes without saying that the laws of hygiene are utterly and entirely neglected. There is no isolation of in fectious diseases, and no attention is paid to causes of death unless there is a suppo sition of violence. Epidemics come and go without any apparent reason, causing per haps a heavy mortality for a time, and then suddenly disappearing, thus affording an endless field ot speculation for the foreign savant But, speaking generally, Chinese towns enjoy an immunity from these danger ous outbreaks almost as complete as that of well-drained European com munities, and the cause of this puzzling and curious phenomenon has been variously explained. The healthiness of Chinese cities has been ingeniously attri buted by some people to the universal habit of fanning, a practice which is said to keep the air in constant circulation. How far this really affects the issue remains to be decided, but the real secret of the immunity from sickness, and notably from tbe effects of the villainous waier universally used lies in the invariable custom of boiling all water intended tor drinking. As a matter of fact, the Chinese never drink cold water. The national beverage is tea, and this is always "on tap," even in the houses of the Tery poor. Every little hamlet, too, has a shop where hot water can be bought for a trifling sum at any honr of the day or night. The progress of sanitary science in Ameri ca has, ot late, been very marked, and it is Been especially in the healthy sentiment it has created in reference to our building in dustry. Only a few years ago buildings were erected according to contract, and in terest went no further than the satisfying of business demands. But it is different now. Sanitation has stepped in and demanded that the health of occupants of nouses shall receive intelligent consideration at the hands of builders and architects. Building laws smd regulations have been adopted by the principal cities, and inspectors have been appointed in order that this important end should be attained. Plumbing has under gone the same changes. Plumbers have educated themselves in their important work, and are under rules and regulations and the inspection system. The laws of health are being studied and put into operation in con nection with these trades, and tbe result is healthier cities. We have yet to contend with the speculative builder, but the lines are tightening about him, and in a short time there is every probability that his fraudulent work will become impossible. Injnrloni Effects el Cheap Candles. The fact that terra alba is largely used in the manufacture of cheap candies was re cently brought prominently forward. A Bt- Ijonis grocery house made a claim against the South Shore Railroad for damage to half a dozen barrels of lozenges shipped to them by a Boston house.

Investigation showed them to yet require dipping in syrups, flavored with peppermint, winter green, sassafras, etc, before being ready for infantile consumption. Terra alba is a mineral utterly insoluble in the saliva tir gastric juice a dangerous compound to put even into a healthy stomach; and when the railroad company learned this they refused to pay any damages, and the grocery house, fearing exposure, ceased to press the claim. It is stated that 6,000 tons of terra alba were recently imported through the port of New York alone. A Bold Philanthropist. A New Jersey inventor has a plan by which he proposes to establish peace upon the earth, now and for all time. His pro posal is to wipe out whole armies with a few flashes of artificial lightning. "I claim," he says, "with the use of powerful dynamos, under my plan, a flash of lightning can be directed against au army a mile or more away and without injury to the party operating the gun, scattering death and con sternation among the troops. With power ful dynamos thousands of soldiers can be killed at a flash, and a number of fltshes are enough to destroy an army. It can be used at any time except on rainy or damp days. This idea is about on a par, in the terrible effects it proposes to inflict, with a plan for exterminating an invading army which was presented many years ago to the War Office in England. This was to throw by means of shells, into the camp or on to the ships of the enemv. chemicals of such a deadly character that everyone inhaling their fumes would be instantly suffocated. The plan was regarded as perfectly feasible, but the idea was looked upon as so fiendish and un natural that it was buried in the archives of the War Office. Care for Influenza. Dr. Bernard O'Connor, in speaking of the prevalent epidemic, says: "It may be ot advantage to some practitioners to know that there is a substance perfectly harmless in use, which has the effect of immediately lessening, it not altogether pntting an end to the most pronounced nasal symptoms of acute febrile catarrh. One application is generally sufficient for' an ordinary 'cold in the head.' Powdered 'periodate crystals' (Weaver's), forcibly blown into the nos trils, or simply dropped in, if the patient is lying fiat on his back, and then sniffed up, will cut short an attack, if administered at the very beginning. The combination of bismuth, morphia and gum powder, in the form of 'snuff,' once commonly used, is valueless when compared with 'periodate,' which is. as far as at present known, the most powerful antiseptic ever used. It can be swallowed in almost any quantity with out the least risk." Dr. B. H. Jlilson say; he cured himseli of a severe attack by spraying sulphuious acid into his nose and about the room, and he suggests that sulphurous acid slightly diluted and scented with eau de cologne would be effective and at the same time agreeable to any sick room. Safety Pilot for Kailwa- Trains. An apparatus which promises to ma terially lessen the danger to human life in case of collision on railways has just ap peared. It consist? of a collapsible buffer, which, attached to and propelled in front of a train, will receive the force of the shock, and permit the train to be brought to a standstill without being injured or derailed. The apparat -s is provided with a series of air chambers connected to telescope together and permit the air to be gradually driven out and mounted on a rolling support, which may be held near to, or removed some distance in advance of the train by the fold ing or unfolding of tbe telescoping sectijas. Either compressed air or steam may be ad mitted as desired to Doth series of air cham bers. Prevention of Ga Waste. D. B.

The lecturer insisted that by the adoption of this plan a saving of a large percentage of gas would be effected with double the amount of illumina tion, and the insuring of an atmosphere harmless to health, as well as to ceilings, pictures and decorations. The flame was "a beautiful, soft steady light, peculiarly agreeable to the eyesight" The Heating; of Cabs. The cabs of Paris appeared recently with out the label with the word chaufl'ee. An order of the Prefect of Police, who acted on the recommendation of the Board of Health, has been issued suppressing the foot warmers heated with charcoal. Attention was first drawn to the fact of the injurious effects of the charcoal fumes in 1881, when the weather being for two mnoths unusually cold, those who kept the windows shut came out of the cabs with splitting headaches. This year there have been several deaths since the severe weather set in. The Pre fect of Police gives the owners the choice of having a ventilation tube to the foot warmer to carry off the oxide of carbon, or to have it filled with hot water. The advantage of the briquette nsed in the Parisian method is that the heat is more constant and lasting than that afforded by boiling water, and it ishoped that the means devised for obviating its ill effects will be successful. A hermeti cally closed foot warmer with asbestos lining, heated by a red-hot plate or bar of iron, is in use on the Belgian railways. Taking; Sufficient Sleep. The old discussion as to the amount of sleep necessary for the performance of con tinuous work and the retention of health has lately been revived. In this age of hurry and worry, with its consequent nerv ous exhaustion, the necessity of taking suffi cient sleep cannot be insisted upon too forci bly, and the tendency of intelligent opinion on the subject is toward the conviction that not enough sleep is ordinarily taken. To lay down any hard and fast rule, however, is not possible, for naturally, brain workers require more than the drones of society; in fact every brain worker, if he wishes his powers to last should take from eight to njne hours' sleep out of the 24. Charles Lamb did not think eight hours enough, whereas Bara Bernhardt lands six hours a sufficient quantum ofaleep. The best rule of life, however, for" ordinary mortals is pretty closely approximated to in the old maxim, "eight for sleep, eight for work, and eight for recreation." The Curability of Consumption. The fact that consumption can be cured is daily becoming more and more impressed on the mind of the layman. One of the sim plest and best methods of fighting this dread malady is the warm milk treatment, and while undergoing it the patient is ad vised to go on some farm, where he is sure to get it fresh, and where moreover, ho can pass his days in horseback riding. Wnei the entire treatment is undergone, recovery from consumption would not only be possible, but would very likely occur, unless the lungs had been too seriously diseased. An out door life in pare air, good wholesome food and plenty of it are the surest cores for tbe malady, and no one of these features is more important than either of the others. Evils of an Bxcenlve Meat Diet. The consumption of food per heal in Vic toria is in excess of that in America and Europe, and yet the climate of Australia re quires that a man should eat less. The in crease of nervous and heptio diseases in Australia is thought to be due largely to the amount of meat consumed by its inhabi tants. Truing- Up Old Ca Wheels. Another illustration of the remarkable extent to which labor is being economized in some branches of industry is afforded by a new car wheel dressing machine, which is attracting much attention at Chicago.

In the new machine this material is melted or burned off. Instead of the emery abrading wheels, with their com paratively slow revolutions and results, these machines perform their work with metal disks revolving at high velocities and doing their work in minutes instead of hours. The Fate of the Panama Canal. The fate of the Panama Canal shows that, although money is the first requisite in en gineering works, there are other requisites. It is almost impossible to say what the ulti mate fate of the Panama project will be, but it is quite possible that the commission now sent out to examine the canal as far as it is made, and to report on the feasibility of its completion, may advise that the original design might be realized, and it is just pos sible that France might raise the necessary money; but, considering that the prelim inary" work of the Nicaragua Canal is now well in hand, it does not appear likely.
