Brown-Sequard\nmid d' Arsonval, showing that a\npoisonous substance is expelled from\nthe lungs with the breath, have\nbeen confirmed by further investigations. Small quantities of the\nsubstance quickly cause the death of\nrabbits. The experimenters have\nproven that this is the poison that\nproduces the harmful effects of\nbreathing in a confined spaoe, and\nthut air containing a large proportion of tho usually criminated carbonic acid may be breathed with no\nserious result.\nFlour-Making: bv Wind-Power,\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094- A recent writer states that in\nmany parts of the United States\nunprovided with water-power it\nwould be not only possible but\nprofitable to use wind-power for\nmilling. In European countries\nwind-driven flour mills, even of considerable extent, aro no uncommon\nsight; and one firm is said to have\na mill operated by steam and another\noperated by wind, and to have found\nthe latter the more successful financially. To get the bost results, this\nauthor asserts that the mill should\nhave a capacity of 150 to 200 barrels,\nand would need a wind wheel at\nleast 85 or 90 feet in diameter,\nwhich should not approach nearer\nthan 15 feet to the ground.\nUse of Salt.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The United\nKingdom, according to Mr. P.

Salt is vory extensively\nused in the arts, and it is remarkable as being the only mineral voluntarily oaten by man, Its use with\nfood is universal with all nations,\nthe consumption per head in different\ncountries being stated as follows:\nUnited States, 50 pounds; England,\n40; France, 30; Italy, 20; Russia,\n18; lielguim, 16}; Austria, 16;\nPrussia, 14; Madras, 13; Bengal, 13;\nSpain, 12; Bombay, 20J; Switzerland, 8 J.\nTiiElIiiLM Wind.\u00E2\u0080\u0094During recent\nyeara some scientific attention has\nbeen given to the singular meteorological phenomenon known as the\nHelm wind, which ocours only on\nthe Cross Fell rango of mountains,\nin England. This range is 2900\nfeet high, ond drops off abruptly to\nthe west from 1000 to 1500 foet in\na mile add a half.

A cold wind blows down\nthe sides of the Fell until nearly\nunder the bar, when it suddenly\nceases.

Mr. Bright's life, ho said,\nhad been happy in a remarkable degree, even to the moment of his departure. He had lived to see the\ntriumph of almost every great cause to\nwhioh he had especially devoted his\nheart and mind. He had established\na special claim to the admiration of\nthose who had otherwise differed with\nhim by his concurrences with them\nupon the prominent questions of the\nhour. Though he had separated himself from the great bulk of the liberals\non the Irish question, there had never\nbeen a word of disparagement on\neither side. Mr. Bright's views with\nregard to tho Crimean war he, Mr.\nGladstone, had been unable to agree\nwith, but he had never felt profoundly\nwhat must have been the moral elevation of those who had all their lives\nbeen nurtured in the temple of popular\napproval, yet who cuuld at a moment's\nnotice consent to part with the whole\nof that favor they enjoyed and which,\ntheir opponents might think, was the\nvery breath of their nostrils. During\nthe crisis of 1868 when the fate of the\nIrish ohuroh hung in the balance, Mr.\nGladstone said it waa a difficult task for\nhim to induce Mr. Bright to enter the\nministry, so little did office attract him.\nMr. Bright's eloquence and courage\nwere shown when in 1861, foreseeing\nthe issue of the struggle in Amerioa,\nhe stood as the representative of a\nexceedingly small portion of the educated community of tbe country,\nthough he undoubtedly represented a\nlarge part of the national sentiment.\nAll causes having his powerful advocacy made a distinct advance in the estimation of the world. Pursuing his\nenconium Mr. Gladstone concluded by\nsaying that Mr. Bright's name was indelibly written in the annals of time\nupou tho hearts of the great overspreading race to which he belonged,\nwhoae wide extension he rejoiced to\nsee, snd whose power and prominence\nhe believed were full of promience and\nglory for the best interests of mankind.\nEulogistic seeches were also made\nby Mr. W. H. Smith, Lord Harting-\nton, Mr. Chamberlain and Mr, Justin\nMcCarthy. Mr. McCarthy said that\nhe heartily endorsed the noble speech\nof Mr. Gladstone. His memory of\nIrish events carried htm back to the\ntime whon Mr. Bright had championed the Irish cause and therefore he\nclaimed the right of Ireland to lay a\nwreath of immortelles upon that statesman's grave.\nTexada Mews.\nTho str.

March 30, 1889.\nIt is plainly recognized to be in\nthe lino of progress for cities to extend their corporate limits, and\nbring their suburbs nil under one\ngeneral civic administration. A\nproposal is taking shape juat now\nin the New York legislature to ex\ntend the limits of the city of NowYork, so us to embrace not only\nNew York and Brooklyn, bul also\nStaton Island, the whole of King's\nCounty, and the towns of Flushing,\nNewton, Jamaica, nnd Westchester, The city thus constituted would\ntake rank as the second city of population, and rs one of the very largest in exteut. The space covered\nwouldbe 320 square miles, and tho\npopulation embraced in the limits\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 would be about three millions. Jersey City, Newark and Hoboken aro\n, left out, though essentially a part of\nXew York. Of course, the ampler\nsspeaB wooM not relieve the present\nKW-wdtail liOEU&tioa of the present\n\u00C2\u00AB&\u00E2\u0080\u00A2$,, ii*fm*g&. m ao far as a general\nUpvatraing- Swiy tor the whole area\nmijjjifc ba row* likely than the separ-\nii\u00C2\u00A3t!.:-ta.iM\u00E2\u0080\u009EiI_: uq;v existing to extend\nyiDiffujilUtrnfoc travel between the\n-.'imor-ii m-as and the outlying parts\nby dlie (-riii-flion of bridges and other\nwiie*. The area of cities varies\njgroaH; and with little regard to\nnombers. London, in one definition\nof tbe term, embraces the amplo\nspace of 690 square miles for a population of five millions; Philadelphia, with its million of inhabitants\nand its tens of thousands of detached\nresidences, covers one hundred and\nthirty square miles. Toronto, with\nits 170,000 people to sixteen square\nmiles, is not quite so liberal iu space,\nbut is vastly more roomy than Paris\nor Copenhagen or thnn Berlin,\nwhich, with about 1,300,000 inhabitants, is credited with a superficies\nof only twenty-eight square miles.\nAn eastern exchange does not\nagree with the opinion of a cotemporary to the effect that oratory is\ndeclining in both the United States\naad Canada, if by \"oratory\" is meant\nibe cJe&r and forcible expression of\n-eijffinSan in public by intelligent antl\nfiidfUHii smil and supports its views\n_* CaJknis: Tbe formation of debat*\nina**; $;\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00C2\u00AB\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2-*:\u00C2\u00AB-,, -ather on the parlia-\nmenlaiy model or ou political lines,\ntbe fact that literary societies exist\nai all the universities and muuy\nleading educational institutions, that\nit is qqite common for young people's\nassociations in connection with the\nvarious churches to have a debating\ncircle, are facts which point to quite\na different conclusion than that of\nthe decline of oratory. How far\nsuccess is attained in these praiseworthy attempts is of course another\nmutter, but there does not seem to\nbe any doubt that public speaking is\nbeing cultivated in and out of our\nlegislatures with a fair measure of\nsnecess. It is not alone men more\nor loss devoted to the professions or\nto literary pursuits who evince\nability to address audiences with\nskill and vigor, but among the ranks\nof commercial men are to be found\nan increasing number who can express their views in choice languago,\nand make their points with marked\npower. The number of societies,\nleagues and gatherings of every sort\nhus been growing so rapidly of late\nyears that it would appear but reasonable to assume that tho amount\nof speechifying required at their\nmeetings would have produced a curtain supply of speakers, and as\nalmost every man belongs to at least\none of these organizations, it is easy\nto test the truth of tho assertion we\nmako that there is a great improvement in public speaking of late\nyears, and that (lunula has no cause\nto be at nit ashamed of her progress\nin this respect. Jf by oratory is intended only the most ambitious efforts, then it muy be snid thnt oratory, liko other things, is being in-\n. fluenced by modern ideas. Long\nspeeches nro going out of fashion.\nSome of tho best parliamentary efforts are now mndo in an hour or\n, two instead of being spread over\nseveral hours and delivered to a\nsemi-Bomnolent audience. Condensation of thought nnd cogency of argument combined nre now much\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0ought after, and no one will deny\nthat the speaker who cultivates\nthese qualities necessarily excludes\nhimself from the use of tbe finest\narti of eloquence. The age has no\ntime for set orations of appalling\ni length when the samo thing oan bo\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2aid in leu space; both on the platform and in the pulpit orators are\nconsulting the wishes of tbe listeners\nfa this respeot. and losing nothing\n'.' by it. Pulpit eloquence is as effect-\n, ive now as in past days, and statesmen do not lack tor attentive audi*\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2noas, showing that thero is node,\neline in the general desire to encourage public speaking. On the whole,\n.. Canada haa reason to be proud of\nthe orators of high class she pos>\nMites, as well as the very lartte\nnumber who may be more modestly\ndesignated as excellent public\nspeakers. \t\nPostmastcr-l..enoral Haggart's al*\nleged improvements in the postal\nservice of tho country are not meeting with approval, but, on the contrary, aro tho subject of vory general\nad verso criticism. Nothing can be\nsaid against the proposed ohango of\nincreasing the weight of ordinary\nletters from .3 conts per half-ounce\nto 3 cents per ounce, but the provisions with respect to drop letters\nand for registration are particularly\nobjectionable. Drop lotters it is\nproposed to make 2 cents por ounce\ninstead of 1 cent per half-ounce. As\ntho great majority of drop letters\nwould come under the half-ounce\nweight, it is difficult to see any advantage to the public in this regulation. The proposed increase in registration from two to ten cents (a\nuniform rate to all postal union countries) docs not, either, appear, on the\nface of it, to have been designed in\nthe public interest, although all\nthese changes tend to greater simplicity nnd ease of manipulation in\nthe postal machinery of the country,\nwhich is a point not to be ignored\naltogether, and for the extra registration additional security will no\ndoubt, be given. The measure will,\nof course, tend to put a Btop to the\nregistration of letters carrying small\namounts. An eastern journal criticizes tho proposed increase in registration as follows: \"When it is\nbomo in mind that the total nnmber\nof letters passing through tho mails\nduring every twelve months is over\nseventy-five millions and the number of postal cards over sixteen millions is not to be wondered nt that\na proportion of them go astray.\nLetters go astray from many causes,\nusually by tho fanlt of the sender,\nwho either does not address them\nproperly or does not stnmp thom\nsufficiently. Among the letters returned from the dead letter office nt\nOttawa were no fewer than 13,928\nregistered letters, besides 2665\nletters containing enclosures of value\nthat were not registered. Of the\nletters lost or stolen while pussing\nthrough the post office 204 were\nregistered, while 273 containing\nmoney but not registered went the\nsame way, no trace of them being\nfound. The postal department would\ngreatly prefer if every letter containing money were registered, so\nthat in the event of it going astray\ntbey would have some means of\ntracing it, but for all this many\npeople continuo to take their\nchances of the letter reaching its\ndestination, not feeling disposed to\npay tho two cents registration fee.\nHow it will be when the postal department increases the registration\nlee, as it purposes doing? If people\nwill not register their letters when\nthe fee is only two cents it may be\ntaken for granted that thoy will not\nregister them when tho fee is not\ntwo, but ten, and thus thero will be\nmore letters of value lost than\never. It would be interesting to\nknow on what ground tho department justifies tho proposed increase.\"\nThe ground, or grounds, are, probably, in the first place, to simplify\nthe workings of the postal machinery\nby having a uniform registration\nrate for all postal union countries,\nwhich is the same, too, wo believe as\nthat of the United States, and, fui-\nther, to be enabled. to give greater\nsecurity for valuable letters that the\nsenders can well afford, for this consideration, to pay the higher registration rato on, Although the\nhigher proposed changes may not be\npopular, it will be seen that thero\nare compensatory advantages involved.\nMeteorological Beport for Week Ending\nNorth Mrd. 1889.\nMAX.
