Cut for beating or lighting Is known
to almost everybody who luhabit or

common variety of Illuminating gas

Known as ' con 1 ga.
Hut there is another common kind,

ly iM.lsoiioii. Thl I made by passing
water-vapor (steam) over hard eottl

then unites with one of them (oxyjreu)
to for... a deadly gas known as car
bonic o.xlile.
W'lieti coal Is btirttisl In a stove with
an abuudaiit air supply It unite freely
with the oxygen of the air to form car
bon dio.xiiie, or carbonic nciii gas. jtt.t
If the air supply Is for any reason ln-
sultbieut the rar more poisonous gas,
eiirlsiiilc ovlile nun- be formed Inti,u1-

and we read oii-asloiially of cases of
poisoning rrom this "coal gas which
has escaped from stove. This form of
"coat gas' is not an illuminating gas,
ami is rcaiiy more iikc ine "water kiis '
than it Is like the "coal ga" above de
scribed. It 1 for.msl only accidental
ly; never, like the other gas of the
same name, Intentionally or for sale.
It can be avoid,! In Htove ami fur
naces by making sure that the draughts
lire giHxl and the air supply abundant.
The important dangerous substance
In all these gases Is the cnrlMiiilc ox
ide, which has a peculiar action 011 the
red blood-cells of the animal Ixsly. It
Is the duty of these red cells to carry
oxygen from the air to every umik and
corner 01 tne bmiy. Carbonic oxide
turns out the oxygen within the cells.
ami rides up and down the hloixl. ves
sels In Its stead. Hut carbonic oxide
cannot feed the tissues, and so a kind
of Internal suffocation take place lead
ing. If continued, to the death and dc
htrin tlon of the body.
The most remarkable case of gn.
poisoning are those In which person
lu house not supplied with gas have
been found dead or dyiug; the gas
which killed them having worked Its
way from a leaky main lu the street
Into the cellar, and thence upward
through the house. It la also
by physicians that many headaches
and other ailment of obscure origin
are due to small am unnoticed leaks
of gas long continued.
So long as any kind of gas remains In
the pipe, or Is completely burned on
Its escape from u burner, it can do 110
harm; but uiiburmsl gas, whether from
leaky pipes In the house or ir..oi ....
from defective fixtures, or escapin
from burner after the llauie has been
accidentally r Intentionally blown
out," Is exceedingly dangerous to hu
man life.-Youth's Companion.
