Some of his figures on the air blast. The large’ supply of free hy occupations of our people are worthy of drogen from the C,H,, Na OH, H,0, in ad- special attention, although they are now ‘ition to its active influence, forms combina nearly five years old : The census of 1880 gives the number of persons engaged in gainful occupations as 17,392,000, or 41.31 per cent. of total per- sons over IO years old. These were en- gaged in the four chief lines of occupation v | cae ee a) ea il \ 4 Hig i Hl a as follows; Agriculture, 7,670,000; pro- fessional and personal services, 4,074,000 ; trade and transportation, 1,810,000; manu facturing, mechanical and mining industries, 3,837,000. In 1870 the number engaged in occupations was 12,505,000. Of those in 1880, 2,647,000 were women. The number of persons over 10 years of age is 36,761, 000, leaving 19,369,000 unaccounted for. The latter number is about equal to the number attending school or physically inca- pable of labor. The census shows an in crease over 1870 0f about 30 per cent. in population, but an increase of 39 per cent. in the number engaged in occupations. This increase in number engaged in occupations over the gain in population is accounted for by the growth of the factory system. The lowest proportion of population engaged in occupation is in West Virginia and Utah, | namely, 28 per cent., and the highest in | Montana, 57 per cent. The great grain | States keep down the proportion of bread- | winners in their boundaries. The percentage | in the cotton-growing States is higher, | owing to the women and children going to the fields; in manufacturing States the | percentage is higher still, owing to the em- ployment of women and children in factories, while in the mining States it is highest of all. Agriculture remains the great occupa- tion of the country, nearly one-half of all} the laborers being engaged in that employ- ment. The mining population has increased from 152,000 in 1870 to 234,600 in 1880. Of all in occupations, 23.4 per cent. are in pro- | fessional and personal service, which in- cludes from the lawyer and judge to the birber and common drudge. There are 1,889,000 under the head of common laborers. The number of clergymen in 1880 was 64,000, against 43,000 in 1870; the number of law yers, 64,000 in 1880, 40,000 in 1870; the number of physicians increased during the | decade from 62,000 to 86,000. In 1880 there were 4800 actors and 12,000 journalists in the country. The number of domestic ser- vants is 1,076,000, an increase of only 10 per cent. in the decade, although the popula- | tion gained 30 cent. In 1870 there was one | servant to every 7.76 families ; in 1880 one servant to 9.24 families. The old region of household slaves abounds still with the largest proportion of servants, Virginia, , Maryland and Delaware leading al! the States. Next come the States north of them, although domestic service has de- creased there since 1870, Comparing our indoor servants with England’s, we find that 1,287,000 are the indoor servants there, ex- | ceeding the agriculturists by 50 per cent.— that is, one person in every 22 is an indoor servant there, while here the proportion is one in 47. | ec The Smyth Process Again. HHH} Hii Wii i Hi Wu An old friend, whom we believed to have been demolished years ago by a report by Mr. G. W. Maynard, of this city, turns up in in England with that pertinacity which | characterizes the ‘‘ process crank.” The} London Iron Trade Exchange gives voice to | the wonders of this ‘‘ new” process as fol- | lows : “We have received from Smyth’s Caloric | Association, 12, 13 and 14 Barbican, E. C., a pare on ‘Smyth’s new system of caloric | last furnaces, and also for the production | of wrought iron and steel direct from the | blast furnace from any quality of ore or'| metal by atomized liquid compounds and a/| special apparatus, without fuel, puddling, | heating, waste, fettling, shingling, cutting | or piling.’ This pamphlet is marked ‘ Con- | fidential—for the Trade Only,’ which, we presume, is not intended to prevent us giv- ing our readers an epitome of its contents. | Mr. Smyth’s invention, as applied to blast furnaces, consists in ‘the control and work- | ing of the furnace at the tuyeres.’ The cost | of the new tuyeres is estimated at £10 each, | and they can be introduced with as much | ease as an ordinary change of tuyeres is effected. Through these tuyeres ‘cheap, and inexhaustible compounds,’ consisting | of creosote, coal oil and sodium hy- droxide, are passed into the furnace, | and the result is such a decreased con-| sumption of fuel that the cost of the pig iron is reduced 5/ per ton. Mr. Smyth’s ex-| planation of this is as follows: ‘ With the THE COLBY i perabundant supply of oxygen, soon forms| This result is caused by the very high tem This CO,., coming in contact with | cess, Gen.

Wm [. Sedgwick and Wm. Ripley Nichols ‘It is generally admitted that, while the other ingredients of illuminating gas are not without their physiological etiects, when breathed with air, in a mixture in which the form a large proportion, nevertheless the only ingredient possessed of really toxic properties is carbonic oxide. Of this the intensely poisonous propertic are well known, and they have been so long undis puted that they now belong to the common stock of scieuce, and po longer require dis cussion. ‘The effects upon animals confined in small space, of mixtures of this gas with air in known proportions, have also been sufficiently and carefully studied ** Tt has seemed, therefor that the problems set befure us would be solved best, especially from a practical point of view not by further work in these well occupied tields, but by experiments conducted, as nearly as possible, under conditions likely to occur in the actual every-day use of illumi nating gas. ‘In making this preliminary shall give briefly the general results of our investigations, going into details only far character of report we enough to show the cooviul in the evidence upon which + . ‘ly Ir CONCLUSIONS are vased.

In each case gas was tal lirectly from pipes ol the local conmipany and our analyses have shown the coal vas distributed in Newton to contain about 7 per cent f carbonic oxide, while the water gas sup plied in Middletown and Ath ntaios about 30 per cent ** The conclusions to which our experiments have led us are as follows | ‘* 7. Water gas is decidedly more poisonou than coal gas. ‘2. Our experiments confirm the work of others in proving that carbonic oxide is not a cumulative poison; that is to say, th breathing of certain small juantities for a long time is not equivalent in effect to the | breathing of a large quanity for ashort time and this fact has much to do with the ditt erence between the effeats of the two yvas« for an atmosphe re contalming a ‘ un small percentage of coal gas may be breat for many hours without serious effects, wl }an atmosphere containing the same am of water gas will be injurt fatal. **3.
