One stream at the chool house wa turned on with a premure of lfJOpoonds and the water wa thrown clear over the flag-staff. The test wa quite satisfactory, and the council has signed the contract for three yoars for Are protection of the city. This should now reduce the rate of Insur ance.

It produceaa waxy, ivory-like appear ance of the skin during a certain stage of the poisoning, but It terrible after effect have become to well known to make It of common use a a cosmetic, The effect of ammonia upon the complexion are directly the opposite to that of arsenic The first symptom of ammonia poisoning which appear among those who work In ammonia factories, Is a discoloration of the skin of the nose and forhead. This gradu ally extends over the face until the complex loo ha ft stained, blotched, and unsightly appearance. . Wltb people who take ammonia into tlielr systems in smaller doses, a with tlielr water or food, th-so striking symptom do not appear ao soon, The only effect of the poison that I visible for a time Is a gen eral unwholeftometiene and sallow ness of the complexion, , ' Many people are tlowly absorbing ammonia poison without kuowlng It. The use of nmniouta in the manufac ture ha greatly increased of late, aud It Is unquestionably used a an adulter ant in certain food preparation.
