Coke during combustion yields sulphurous acid, carbonic acid and earboaic oxide, aad charoeal also givaa riee to the two last named substances while buruing. The many suicides and aocidsatai deatbs which hava been caused by burning charcoal have been due to the inhalation ot the earbonio oxide evolved during the process. Wood when bnrued gives off a large quantity of carbon in tha form of amoks, the vapor of water, empyreumetis oila, carbonic acid and carbonic oxide. The irritating qualities of wood amoke are doe to these empyreumauo subelanoea.

among whieb oreosote is the chief.

Now, in order to obtain heat from fuel withontat the eame time •nbjactiogoureelvee to the action of the noxious ■nbatances mentioned various contrivancea have been devised which with more or 1— completeness allow of the removal of the deleterious matter*, or which are placed at a distance from ike apartment* to be warmed, and boat them through the medium of water, eteam or by aurreats of air. These are open fireplaces, stoves, liirnace* supplying hot air, eteam apparams and hot water apparatus. The open fireplace ie, on several accounts, to be preferred to any other means at heating aa apartment. It insnree, when well constructed, the removal of those * products of combnetioa which tend to vitiate the atmosphere, aad at the eame time causes a strong current ot air to pam from the room throngh the efaimney, by which alone tolerably effective ventilation ia produced. Hut it baa certain objectionable features which preclude ita employment when a •toady and uniform heat ie required, and when it is especially desirable to avoid irregular currents of air. It is therefore not adapted lor use in large rooms, such as hospital ward*, where many sick person* are pr—nt It wood in the foal need, the frequent necessity of replenishing the fire, the losrering ot ternperstare which ensnee if there ie tha least uegleot in attending to this point and the gnat 1— of heat through tha chimney, afford almost insuperable reasons against the open fireplace daring the colder months of the year. If ooal ia burned, although there ie more beat, yet it ie imp—iLie to avoid the exhalatiofl of a portion of the deleterious gates and vapor* throughout the chamber, and the dost ia the form of aahaa which is profusely Mattered, adds aerioualy to th* iaeoovenienc* nnd nnhealthtuesa. In addition, th* warmth from a fireplace is act generally diffused throughout th* room. Th* heat ia almost entirely comMunicated by direst radiation, and consequently while that part of the body turned toward the fir* ie heated perhaps to axoass, the portions not exposed to the rays of heat

ara not auffioieatly warmed,

f. On the other hand, again, the cheerfulness imparted to the mind by the eight of aa open fir* sbeuid not be overlooked, and the iafin* caoe of the light emitted ie also aa important ala—nt in the ccuaidcration ot the sabjeet; so that while, as has been wid, the objection aapticabl* to the om of open fireplaces ia large room*, especially th— inhabited by aick persons, art aim— insnrmount•Ida, th* advantages from them wIU always aaua* their employment in smaller rooms tahabited bat by ana or two parson end fa •a— where aeon—y ia no object. When •aad wood ia to ba prafarrad, aad next, good bitnminoue ooal. The gam evolved from an thrsoils, oeke aad charcoal ara much more deleterious aad. as ha* been said, a portion will unavoidably escape into th* air at the ■mom.

Another objection an— five* the dryness ef the atmoophera which ia prodneed by tha heat of a stove. It Ie east—ary to hava a ve—I oat top of toe stove eeataielag water, by the evaporation of which this evil is partially obviated, hat it ie net altogether got rid of, aad tba arraag—eat requires attention which is seldom given to it. Stove* in which eoal is burned always allow the escape into th* apart—ut of a portion af the ga— aad vapors given of daring combustion. If weed is the fad, this scare* ef vitiation ia net so greet, as the gases which ertae from the bereiag ef weed ara lighter than th—from coal, and consequently there is a greater tendency far them to escape through the pip*. Moreover, seal al wave contains mineral substances, each as tnipbor, whieb, bring volatilized, ara dif* rated more or I— completely in tba form of vapor throaghont the room. On this account coal stoves are exceedingly unfit for room in which invalid* ara confined, but as they are economical aad require little attention they era need in the temporary military hospitals ot the country. The civil hospitals—without, ao for sc I know, an exception—ora heated by more improved methods. Fnrna— placed at a distance from the apartments to be heated, generally under them, ara modifications of the ordinary steve. differing only ia the foot that air is bronght to tha stove heated by oondnetion amt then allowed to a—ad to th* rooms through pipes or floes. H proper preoantioos ore taken to insure a full supply of fresh air from tbs outside to prevent the mixture of the ga— from th* fad with tha hot air and to provide sufficient moisture, this —Mod of warming is not very objectionabie. It, howeyer, almost' invariably happens that proper m—nree ara not taken to inanre them dude, and ooneeq neatly the air of apart—nu heated by subterranean furnaces is s’most sjwsys oppressive. It ie only accessary to allow a piece of polished eileer to stand for a tew days ia a room warmed in thie manner to be eoavioced of the pr—ace of tho vapor of aalphnr in tba atmosphere, as the silver very rapidly becomes tarnished by the formation of the snlpburet. I hay* also oaneeil tha warmed air to pass through Liebig’s potash bulbs, aad have always found an excessive amonnt of carbonic add to be present. And yet 1 have —n edocated persons, or th— who from their position in Hie ought to have known better, crowd themMivee to the number of fiveor aix into a room scarcely fifteen feat squared* which there nas ao window, in which two gM burners were lighted and; with the door shat, eroach over a flue from a red-hot lurnac* throngh which air hot enough to parch th* akin was being discharged with horrible rapidity. Should it h# a subject for snrpriM that each person* were annoyed with coldness of th* extremities and were haggard and ghastly looking in the morning, end that they were afflicted with almost constant headache, dyepepeia and other afflictions evincing disorder of the organism? As used in tbie country, hot-air iarnaces, I have no hesitation in saying, arc productive of more disease and discomfort Man ara ean«*d by all oMer means of prodaeing artifleal heat combioed. Buildings are sometimes heated by steam, which by some are considered tc possess advantages over hot water aned in a similar manner. A boiler is filled op in some convenient plaoe, and the eteam is either conveyed ia pipes directly to Me room* to be heated, or hot air is caused to come in contact with coils of pipe eontaiaing steam and then admitted to Me apartments. The chief disadvantage of steam as a heating agent oonaists in Me foot that it is difficult to regulate the temperature. The pipe* must be kept at 212 degrees Fahrenheit or condensation of the vapor at once takes place and water is formed. In possiug from a state of vapor to that ot a liquid, eteam parte with Its latent beat aad becomes sensible, and thus the temperetoro of th* pipes is raised. The latent beat of steam being 1,000 degrees, a great eocroe of hfcat is Mae at commend; but it the pipes are allow to oool again below 212 degrees a .fresh portion of steam ia condensed, and so on till the whole of U has been converted into water and has parted with all ita latent beat. It now eocnpies bnt l-lfHMth par t of thespaoc as water wbieh it did as steam, and consequently baa a beating power equivalent to Met of an equal balk of water. Hoik tor balk, Me bMtiog power' ot (teem compared to that of water ie m 1 to 288—that is, a onbio foot of water will give oat 288 time* as much heat as a cubic foot of steam in passing tram 212 degrees to 60 degrees. Bringing into consideration other factors, such os the specific heat ot the iron ot which Me pipes ore mode, Me beat from the water contained ia Me boiler and of the brickwork around Me boiler, it ie found that n building warmed with hot water will maintain its temperature after the fire te extinguished about six or eight times as long as it would do if it were heated with steam. The air wanned by steam is not baked aa ia that which comes in contact with the heated snrfaoc of a stove, and hence is not deprived to an equal extent of ita moistnre. It ia therefor* 1— irritating to the longe, and being absolutely uacontaminated by the vapors and gases given off by the burning fuel ia altogether preferable to any direst means of beating. Thera are many forme of steam-heating apparatus in use, some of which ara preferable to othere. The subject in th— relations will be best studied from the works specially devoted to Me consideration of th* principle of artificial healing. Hot water afford* another excellent means for obtaining artificial warmth, and the principles upon whieb th* proo— is eondneted do not differ essentially from tb— whieb govern Mat last d—rilied. Pipes are arranged in connection with a boiler eontaining water. Heat being applied, those particles of the water nearest to toe source of the heat lint become warmed, and at the same time specifically lighter. If this water were allowed to escape Mere would be a constant nee—ily for replenishing the boiler; but after it ha* loat a portion of its heat it ie returned to th* boiler and the proc— ie repeated. Tba pipes may be arranged in coils, contained in boxes under Me floor communicating with tjm external atmoepber*. A register ia the vail or floor allova tha hot air to enter th* chamber. Of all meant of heating. Mat by hot water is to be preferred. The air can not he baked fay It, for the temperature ean never be raised above 212 degr—Fahrenheit. It parts with ito beat 1— rapidly Man d— steam. These fact* render it far more pleasant to hoar than the heat from steam, la general U may be said that either eteam or hot water should be adopted for the hrating of onr boo— in winter. Hr either ot M— a naiform ternparainr* oaa be obtained, end that ia a highly desirable matter to aoeompliah. It is almost invariably the cnee that rooms are overheated and hails and passages left cold. Persons therefore pas* from an atmosphere of 80 or 90 degr— to oa* not for from Mo freexing point. Id this way ooids are rapidly contracted. Th* temperature of th# hooM ia winter should never exceed 66 degree#, and MU ahoold exist throughout its whole extent, so that there will be no n—saity for closing doors, and hence the air will be allowed to circulate freely throughout tho whole building. Certainly maay so— of pneumonia, to ray nothing of severe colds and rheumatism, ara ceased by the bon— that we inhabit being heated to too high a degree.

Mifflin A Ca Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrtli Company. Price 81.28. This ia e volume of the series entitled “American Commonwealths,” whose object it to recite one or more «f the chief events in th* history «f a State. Ie eeconlance with this purpose Mr. Dunn bos opened e mine in the history of Indiana which has been merely touched by previous explorers. Hut before entering upon thissubjeet he has given eo much attention to th# history of the State iu aboriginal times that it might be fairly put in aa a eub-title. He has ransacked nil tb* available writings, including the ■tone* of the French explorers and rulers, and hoe given * graphic picture of whet this fair laud called Indiana was before a whit* man had trodden it.. He hoe traced the Indian tribes oeeupying it. their verions settlements end removal*, and the whole makes a most iatareating and valuable addition to onr history. Th# originality of the work fs marked in this pert. The advent of the whit* man is described, tie tint form of government, the political changes caused by war, inolading a brilliant aoeoant of George Rogers Clerk’s captor* of the French posts, end thus gradually and easily tb* reader is led along to the subject of elavery. In dealing with thie, Mr. Dann has given the seme fullneaa of detail that marks the opening chapters. Apparently no source of information has been neglected, no foot overlooked. The straggle to Introduce and maintain slavery, aad the opposition to it, is a chapter in' Indiana’s history which few are acquainted with, nnd even those few will be maoh surprised by noroe of tha staieraenta made and the proof that slavery actually existed here, in a modified form, for many yean. The political contests described show that politics were much the seme then os now, eo far aa the controlling method wee concerned. By no means tha least interesting part of the book is that in reference to th* eathorebip of th* ordinance of 1787, which Mr. Dunn conoiades, and we think wisely, waa a composite work and not the idea of any one mind. The Look is a most important oonlribatiou to history. It is written in n flowing, graceful, bat forcible •tyle. The foot notes are numerous, reference to page and chapter being given to nil authorities used, a fortifieation, which, though not needed, adds mach to the strength qf the work and makes light labor for any one who may follow in the same path. There is every evidence of thorough aad painetakiog work and Mr. Dunn ie entitled to praise. He has made a book which will ajways be quoted when the hisfory of Indiana is under consideration.

A CLAIM TO HUMAH GRATITUDE Charlotte Corday, the ead-ieoed, tenderhearted peasant girl of Normandy mod* great history by one desperate net. Sickened by the eatarnalte of the French revolution, and moved to desperation aRobespierre nnd Marat were leading the flower of Franc* to tha guillotie#, eh* determined that she would put on end to Moral’s Moody reign. Marat had demanded two hundred thousand victims for the guillotine! Ha proposed to kill off the enemies of the revolution lo make it perpetual! Horrible thought! No wonder it fired the blood of this patriotic peasant maid. Gaining nee— to his ol—ly guarded quarters by a aubterfuge, she found bite in bia bath, even then inexorable and giving written directions tor further slaughter! He asked her tho nan— of the inimical deputies who bad taken ratug* ia Coen. She told him, aad be wrote them down. “That is wall! Before a week te over they ehall all bo bronght to the guillotine.’’ At th— words, Charlotte draw from her bosom tb* knife, and plunged it with supernatural force ap to tho hilt in tho heart of Marat. “Com* to me, my dear friend, eo— te me,” cried Marat, and expired under th* blow! In the Comoran Gallory at Washington is a iamous painting of Charlotte, repr—nted as behind the prison ban th* day before her execution. It is a thrilling, sad pietare, full of sorrow for her suffering country, and ot unoonqnerabla bate for her country’s eaemioa What n 1—on in this tragic story) Two hundred, nay, five hundred thousand people would Marat have sacrificed to his unholy passion ot power! Methods ara quit* as marderous and inexorable as men, and they number their vieti— by the millions. The page oi history ia tall of marders by aathority aud by mietaken ideas! In the practice of medicine alone how many hundreds of millions beve been allowed to die and os many more killed by nninstifieble bigotry end by bungling) Bnt the age is bettering. Men end methods ore improving.' A few years ego it was worth one’s professional life to advise or permit the nee of a proprietary medicine. To-day there are not two physiciana in any town in this coontry who do not regularly prescribe some form of proprietary remedy! H. H. Warner, famed all over the world as the discoverer of Warner’s Safe Care, began banting up the old remedies of th* log cabin days; after long and patient research be succeeded in seenring some of the most valuable, among family records, and "Called them Warner’s Log Cabin remedies—the simple preparations of roots, leaves, balsams and herbs which were the sacceutul standbys of our grandmothers. Th— simple, oldfashioned sarsaparilla, hops end bnchu, cough end consumption and other remedies have struck a popular chord and are in extraordinary demand all over th* land. They are not the untried and imaginary remedies of so— dabster chemist intent on making money, bat the long sought principles of the healing art which for generations kept oar ancestors in nerfect health, put forth for the good of hnmanity by one who ie known all over the world as a philanthropist—a lover of bis fellow man—whose name isagnafante* ot the highest standard of excellence. The preparations ara of decided and known influence over diqMse, and as in the hands of onr grandmothers they raised np the siek, eared the lame, and bound np the wound* of death, so in their new form bnt olden power ns Log Cabin remedies, they are aara to prova the “healing ot the nations.” Corday did the world an incelonlable service in ridding Franc* of the bigoted and murderous Marat, just as this man is doing bumaoity a service by reintroducing to the world the simpler and better methods ot oar ancestors.
