THE COMET. ———__— ‘ANALYSIS BY THE SPECTROSCOPE. The Tail Composed of Ole- fiant Gas. Influence Upon the Earth of a Union with Our Atmosphere, WASHINGTON, July 9, 1874. “And what, gentlemen of the jury, do you sup- pose the careful witness thinks of the new comet?” ‘was the inquiry addressed by Rufus Choate to the jury empanneled to try the case of William J. ‘Terrill, charged with tbe murder of Marta Bickford, over thirty years ago, when the comet of 1843 had aroused all there was of credulity and aupersti- tion in mankind in and about the city of Boston, ‘The careful witness was the subject of much spec- Uiation in those days. He prefaced all hs answers with an “if or a “but,” until the counsel for Ter- rill, Mr. Choate, became exasperated and ap- Pealed to the Court to require the witness to give @ decided answer. ‘The Court decited that the answers of the wit- mess were as positive as those of any witness ex- amined in the case and that the apparent evasion Was really no evasion at all, but to be regarded as ® part of the habits of the man in expressing him- Belf where neither oath nor certainty were ex- pected, “OLD PROB.” INTERVIEWED. It takes nearly a third of a century to bring for- ‘Ward the only circumstance which would justify a man walking boldly into the Weatner Bureau of the greatest country on the face of the earth and asking ‘Old Probabilities,” as Rufus Choate did the careful witness thirty years ago, “‘Whatdo you think of the new comet?” Yet your correspondent had the audacity to propound this fearful conun- rom to the unknown quantity who in- forms you by daylight of each day whether you ought to take your umbrella or your cane if you 0 out walking. Everyoody has speculated about the coming and the goingof “Uld Coadger.” So when I met “Old Probabilities’ face to tace Lasked the question: — “Does this intruder, known as Monsieur Coggia, Interfere with or influence in the slightest degree your weather prognostications Immediately his snuf-colored bandanna was Atawn from his pocket, the southwestern end fared into the form of a comet's tail, and it was fearful to hear the ire of the weather predictor. He assumed at once that the comet was exclu- sively the property of the Weather Bureau, and before launching into the depths of science re- minded me that it was ‘against the rule to talk to the man at the wheel.” I took the hint and heard Ola Probabilities through, and this is what he a TALE OP THE WRATHER CLERK. “Our comet has been treated of so fully that it Might seem superfiuous to attempt to add much to what bas already been written, were it not that ‘we huve lately come into possession of sufiicient information concer: the nature of comets in neral, and of Coggia’s comet in particular, to justify a {ew words concerning the possible infu- ence of the present visitor upon the weather and meteorological phenomena in general. “+A new comet naving been discovered the first thing an astronomer does 13 to compute the posi- tion of its orbit and to identify it, if possible, with some one of the three or four hundred comets that have been mathematicaily investigated and possi- bly with some one of the much larger number of which we have only fragmentary information. ‘The present, or third comet of 1874, has been visi- ble now for two anda half months since its first discovery, the path that its nucleus has pursued in its orbit ground the sun has been more or less carefully studied by several astronomers, whose computations have, however, not only differed, but whose predictions have disagreed considerably with subsequent ac- curate observations, a result, however, that is not in the least to be attributed to any Jatlure of the taw of gravitation or to any error in the caicula- tions, but is due principally to the fact that the figures that have been published have been in- tended only as a first rude approximation, and one ebundantly sufficient for the immediate necessi- ties of the astronomers. RELATIONS BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THR COMET, “It must, however, not be forgotten that, ow! to the relation that accidentally happens to exis' between the position of the earth in ita orbit and that of the comet in its orbit, the nucleus of the later body has apparently almost stood still, while in reality both bodies were moving at the enormous rate of between 1,000,000 and 000 miles daily. Of the astronomers first alluded to, Mr. Tietjen, of Berlin, seems to have been most fortunate. The predictions made by him as to the tion of the nucleus are now in error slightly less than one degree of the arc, ac- cording to observations made at Weshington, bj which quantity the comet's nucleus appears nort! of its predicted place. Appiving, therefore, a aint correction to Mr. Tietjen’s calculations, ‘which were made nearly a month ago, we shall ar- rive at results that can only be in error by small tities that are insignificant, and which sensi- bly confirm the calculations of Mr. Hind, of Lon- don, as published three weeks later. TALL OF TUR COMET. “It is, however, with the tall rather than the nucleus that we have now to do, in so far indeed as itis possible to separate one of these bodies from the other.. The structure and chemical con- stitution of @ comet's tail evidently depgna directly upon the chemical naciure anc physfcal condition of the nucleus. Much has been said con- cerning the powerlul effect or intense solar heat upon such comets a8 approach near to that body, and, indeed, these considerations are in place in the case of Such comets as that of 1843, whose nucleus approached to within 500,000 or 600,000 miles of the sun’s centre, and must, therelore, have by but very little escaped grazing the surface of that tremendous orb; but in the case of the present comet, which, when nearest tpe sun, is scarcely more distant than the planet Venus, we evidently must Presented pecullar conditions if the heat received directly from the sun is to play an important part in the formation of its tail. In rei- erence to this conspicuous appendage three plau- sible theses May be entertained—either that the nucleus may be gaseous only, or may be an easily vaporized solid or liquid, whose vapor, rising up under the influence of solar heat, flows away as an incandes- cent gas; or, second, the existence of a resisting medium in space may be invoked the iriction between which and the nucleus may give rise to the heat required lor the evaporation of the faseous Matter composing the tail; or, third, the frequent impact of the myriads of meteorites that are known to fill all space against the tront of the comet as it rushes along may suffice to produce the heat needed for the formation o! its brilians tail. ‘While there are reasons tor believing that each of the three preceding suppositions must, as occa- gion serves, be invoked as the provable explana- tion of the origin of the beat that is believed to be necessary, on the other hand, in any Case, it seems impossible not to attribute avery mgh degree of volatility to the solid or liquid matter forming the Bucieus, As arule the growth 01 the tail of a comet takes place at the expense of the nucleus. That of the great comet of 1811 had, ac- cording to Sir William Herschel, a diameter of 428 miles at the time of tts greatest brilliancy, while Donati’s comet in 1858 Lad a diameter of 6,600 miles in the early part ol its course, which subsequently diminished to 400 miles. The comet at present visible in the northern heavens belongs neither to the class of great nor Of large meteors, since it Is at present less than 4,000 mules in diam- It will be seen thereiore that the brilliancy is in no wise dependent upon of the nucieus, since the three whose dimensions we have just given are mong the brightest that have appeared during the preseut century. It mignt ratner be said that the brilliancy of the head and the length of the tail may generally be said to increase as the nucleus diminishes in size, which, according to ‘what we have above satd, is almost equivalent 10 saying that the conspicuousness of the comet tn- creases with the volatility of the nucleus, CHEMICAL NATURE OF THE NUCLEUS. “Of the chemical nature of the nucleus aud of its vapor we can, it would seem, no ionger remain in doubt, The examination of the light of the tall of two comets of 1868, fj Ronin of the spectro- scope, revealed to Mr, Huggins, first of all, tue sibility that its substance consisted of a gas intimately allied to olefiant gas, tf, indeed, not that very gas itself; in fact, Mr. Huggins stared that the spectra of these comets agreed pre- cisey with the spectram of carbon, as ob- tained irom olefiant gas, at least as exaetly as it Was possible to conauct the observations, 1¢ (is customary in spectroscope analyses to consider go close @ coincidence as that observed by Mr. Huggins as satisfactory evidence of the chemical Mature of the body under examinatton; but owing to the uncertainties attending such novel investiga- tions Mr. Huggins was very cautious when 61x years go he announced his conciusions, and alluded to the diMiculties that met him when he attempted to explain the origin of the heat necessary in order to render incandescent the cometary matter ob- served by him through the spectroscope. Since, however, Mr, Huggins’ observations have been repeated upon several succeeding comets and we believe with invariably the same result, and gince even the profound analyses of Mr. Lock- yer bave not yet suggested an; jefinite, prausibie Pxplanation, we are probably justified in believing ‘hat the presence of certain three bright bands in the spectrum of @ comet indicates that there is pither a mass of incandescent oleflant gas or else molecules of a vapor having a spectrum precisely ike that and whose chemical properties may o ‘lectures, NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1874.—WITH SUPPLEMENT. thererore ve presumed to be simflar. Thoge three bands exist im Coggia’s comet. OLBFIANT @48 IN OUR ATMOSPHERE, “The question a8 to what phenome: ald probably be observed im case the earth encounters the tail of the comet may, therefore, be amswered by answering the question, What would be the ence Of adding to the consequ exterior carth’s atmosphere a layer of clefant gas Daving & density far less than that of oar nt atmosphere at the greatest heights to w! bal- Jeons have ascended? Our reply would, pernaps, be summary if we should ‘abruptly affirm that no conceivable obange would be noticed on the earth’s surface; human affairs would certainly move on 96 usual, but some very slight changes might be percep- tinle, one or two of which we will indicate. Tyn- dall sbown that oleflant gas is. one of me, most powerful absorpente of the heat rays. follows, therefore, that the mixture of Ny one per cent of this gas with our atmosphere would tend to raise the average temperature of the earth, since its presence would hinder the radiation into space of terrestrial heat, the total effect upon tue mean annual temperatare being as nearly a8 we can estimate less than @ quarter of ‘@ degree of Fabrenheit for stations at the igs beset and considerably less even than this for stations in our latitude.

A RENCONTRE WITH THE BARTH IMPROBABLE. “But considerations ag to the possible effect of adding to the earth’s atmosphere @ small portion of the comet’s tail seem altogether out of place when We consider that such addition cannot hap- Pen unlegs our globe comes into 80 close prox- imity to a portion of the tall as to craw it to it- Self, and o1 thia event there seems, in the present case, but little, if any, probability, It has, indeed, been satisfactorily ascertained that on two pre- vious occasions du: the past century—namely, on June 30, 1861, and November 27, 1872, this very event did, in all probability, happen. On the lat- ter occasion @ beautiful d: hay of shooting stars took place in consequence. At the earlier date there was some talk about percet a slight haze in the atmosphere similar to that of indian summer weather, or of the Aurora Borealis. THE GROWTH OF PHE TAIL. “But a8 regards the present comet we, as was above said, can hardly expect so interesting an event. Accurate observations have been made at Washington on the growth of the tail during the past month, which have shown that, while on the 23d of June its apparent length was one and a half degrees corresponding to a real length of at least 3,000,000 mites, it had on the 7th of July in- creased to an apparent length of eleven degrees, corresponding to a real lengin Nf at least 10,000,000 miles. At tnis rate the length of the tall will, on the 20th of July, not exceed 20,000,000 mites. “Ooservations made upon the nucleus with a very powerfur telescope give no decided evidence of any well marked internal constitution about the head, such as was remarkably shown in Donati’s comet, Wience we would rather infer that Coggia’s comet will not at any time have the intrinsic brightness ana magnitude of its predecessor.” TIDAL WAVES, An Interesting Lecture by Professor Van der Weyde. Professor Van der Weyde delivered last night his lecture on “‘Tidal Waves” before the Liberal Club, at Plimpton Hall. “He introduced the lecture by showing that bis subject was cool and not dry. (Laughter.) Tidal waves were the only manifesta- tion of the attraction of sun and moon on the surface of the earth. If the earth were entirely surrounded by the ocean the solar tidal wave would travel round the whole earth in twenty- four hours, which is a velocity of 900 miles per hour. The lunar wave would travel round the earth in twenty-five hours, at a velocity of 800 miles per honr. As, however, tne ¢ontt- nents are everywhere interposed except round the South Pole, itis only there that this wave mo- tion takes place, and from this region it is propagated northward into the Indian Ocean and into the Atlantic, where it attains its greatest magnitude. It propagates irom Van Diemen’s Land in twelve hours to the coast o1 Hindostan, and in another twelve hours trom the Cape of Good Hope to Senegal. Twelve hours later it has Teached the coast of Great Britain, and, turning round Scotland, reaches Norway and Denmark in an opposite direction—namely, from west 10 east. Its Velocity of propagation depends on the depth of the ovean. It is only when the depth exceeds 6,000 fathoms that the pency is as great as the revolution of the eartn. t a@ depth of 1,000 fathoms it travels with the velocity of 250 miles an hour, and when the depth is 100 fathoms tne velo- city 18 100 miles, At 20 fathoms it is 36 miles, 10 Jathoms 26 miles, and 1 fathom 8 miles. This law, which was discovered by Russel, is so reliable that it has been possible to determine the depth of the Ocean by the velocity of the tidal wave. Professor Van der Weyde wound up witn an in- teresting calculation of the power of the tidal Wave ot the ocean, proving thatif it were utilized it would be equivalent to the power o: three tril- lions of horses. in consequence of the impending scarcity of coal extensive experiments had been Made in some of the countries of Europe to find the best means of utilizing this enormous power wherever it is practicable, The paper was listened to with great attention, and a resolution of thanks was tendered to the Many of the salient points of the lec- ture wife discussed betore the club adjourned, DEERFOOT PARK. on nn Fourth Day of the Summer Trotting Meeting—Uncle Bill the Winner of the 3:10 Purse—The Team Race Postponed After Five Heats—Excitement on the Track. The fourth day of the summer trotting meeting at Deerfoot Park was full of incident and excite- ment, 60 a8 to make the occasion a memorable one, The attendance was very fair amd the track, thongh dusty at the commencement of the amuse- ment, wasin good condition. Two events were set down on the programme, these being, first, a purse of $300, for horses that never beat 3:10; mile heats; best three in five, in harness; $175 to the first, $95 to the second and $30 to the third horse. Of the fourteen entries five came to the post—George Jones’ bay mare Lady Blanch, Asa Whitson’s bay gelding Uncle Bill, J. Water- son’s brown stallion Doubtfal, J. A. Goldsmith's brown gelding Bateman and E. 8S, Hall’s sorrel mare Gussie. Owing to Uncle Bill’s performance the previous day he was the favorite im the pools, selling, in the majority of them, for as Much money as all the rest. Occasion- ally some enthusiastic supporter of Lady Blanch, who remembered that she had captured in slash- ing style the three-minute purse the first day of the meeting, sent her to the front in the petting; and, when not there, sne had second place, and the rest in the fleld, with Gussie in two or three instances, beng taken in place of Blanch. Uncle Bill won the first heat handily in 2:41, but was beaten in the second by Gussie in 2:40, Ward, the driver of Bill, playing a few points that might have resulted disastrously for him had tt not been for an excitement then raging among the spectators consequent upon a decision by the judges in the first heat of the team race, which was sandwiched with the other, Roden was then put behind Uncle Bill by his owner, and he went on and won the next two he; and the race. Gussie took second money, and Bateman third preinium, The second contest was for teams that, single, had vever beat 2:40. The $200 hung up was so di- vided that $115 went tothe first, $65 to the sec- ond and to the third horse. Of the entries three teams appeared—Wm. 8. Thom’s brown gel- ding Phil. O'Neil, Jr. and biack Lets hag Alex. Patterson’s bay gelding Listner and black gelding Adonis, and Peter Manee’s sorrel gelding Warsaw and pa see Bessie B. In the pools before the start ter and mate were the favorites about $75 to $50 against the fleld. Alter three or four faise attempts the word was given, with Phil O'Neil ana mate leading, Bessie B. and mate second and Listner and mate last. But rod from the score Adonis left his teet, and Pat- terson, in endeavoring to steady him, lost three lengths, while Bessie B. and mate wert to the front, and at the quarter had five lengths the best ofit. From this point the latter maintained their advantage and landed winners of the heat by three lengths, Phil O'Neil and mate second and Listner and Mate third. The latter team never headed either of the others, and in the mile Adonis broke four or tive times, but in every instance Patterson took them in hand and steadied them as well as practicable. The judges consulted some time before rendermg their dectsion, and then Mr, Mc. Cord spoke in such low tones that but few heard and understood that with giving “the heat to Besste B. and mate,” they ‘distanced Listner and Adonis for running.” This seemed incredibie, ‘and but few believed it, but being assured of the fact there ensned an excitement selaom equalied on the race track. Scores protested ost the erroneous decision, and boldly charged the judges with bet “interested in the pool box’? and “robbing honest people of their money.” In the midst of the trouble Mr. McMahon, the pro- jetor, Came upon the scene, and, learning the » wold Messrs. McOord and Dixon, the two Pu) who insisted upon the decision given and ‘against Mr. Post’s (the third judge) protest, that ‘they were wrong, and that such work should not be tolerated on his track. Hereupon Mr. Post left the stand, atter publiciy stating that he did not agree with his associates in the matter. Then . McManon politely requested Messrs, McCord and Dixon to retire ag unit for the position, and they did so, amid the groans of the assembled, Mr. McManon then reinstated Listuer and mate, asked Mr. Post again to the stand, and, selecting Mn Edward Sammis as the second judge, made up the quota by acting him- sel, He also decided that al) poals sold on }the race from the start of the first heat to the moment of reinstating Listner and Sppiause, as was’ his previous ‘sction ia, routing q prev’ action in rout the ‘pecultar” judges. Bessie B. and mate ‘were the favorites over the field $100 to $80 besore the second heat, but it was won by an O’Nell made @ dead heat the fourth, when the interest event increased. At this junc- Ir upon ghe Park and made the track a canal, but the horses were called while it was raging most intensely. Before the word was given outsiders subscribed $50 and handed it to the juages in order to substi- tute Sim Sammis tn place of Peter Manee behind Bessie B. and mate, they deeming that he wae Dot trying to win with 7m. In the heat both Listner ‘and mate and Phi) O'Neil and mate ran the greater art of the mile, when the judges gave the heat Bessie B. and mate, a8 having by all odds done the best trotting, drivers were covered with mud at the finish of the heat. Darkness com- ing on the race was postponed until to-day at twelve o'clock. It now stands—two heats for Lister and ohio heats for Bessie B. and Tate anda dead heat between Phil O'Neil and mate and Listner and mate. Before the race Wil- iam S. Thoms protested against the starting of Listner, making affidavit that he nad trotted and ‘won a race at Bangor, Me., in 1868 or 1869, in leas ‘than 2:40, under the name of Oharley Drew. SUMMARY.

HOTELS AND HORSES AT SARATOGA. Pockets Coal cl al SaRaToGa SPRINGS, July 9, 1874. The completion and opening of the magnificent ‘United States Hotel—the largest and finest hotel im the Union—is the crowning enterprise of this city of hotels. As a watering place it is indeed now complete. The only fear is that th>re are too many first class hotels for remanerative patron- age. But competition is the life of trade, and the splendid accommodations presented and the cer- tainty of obtaining good rooms may swell the number of guests to a degree merited by the en- terprise of hotel proprietors, The city (for it should no longer be called a village) 1s assuming quite a lively appearance, and some houses boast of success unusual at this early date; but the great crowd of the season cannot be expected until the beginning of the races, about the 25th of this month, Racing is always attrac- tive at Saratoga; and, whether from natural causes or good lack, the very great turi contests are generally here, And this year i not likely to rove an exception. Many of the best horses have en reserved for ratoga. The ‘Cup,’ the great race which gave fame such wonders ag Kentucky, Mugging, Long- lJellow, Marry Bassett, Joe Daniels, &c., will again be the prize, along with which the win- ner will secure the admiration of many thou- sands. Of the thirty entries a large field may be expected to start, including Tom Bowling, Spring- bok, Preakness, ‘anderer, Katie Pease, Shylock, Whisper, Eotus, Silent Friend and others. Tom Bowling 1s, unquestionably, first favorite, but has not been called upon this year to exhibit the reat powers which he is believed to ess. He decidedly @ first class horse, and is withal per- haps she handsomest large horse the country has produced, His owner religiously believes that he een all the speed of his speedy dam, Lucy owler; all the endurance of his wonderful sire, Lexington, and all the beauty conceived by the great Creator of the horse. And yet even so fine an animal as he may ve defeated upon the same field where Kingfisher and Longfellow were compelled to strike their honored colors. Several dangerous antagonists are in waiting for his coming. Wan- derer, 8 Sip eriot horse when in order, has been here since Jerome Park races, receiving a careftl preparation from his owner, Mr. Rice, and seems to be in the best possible condition. He eats bet- ter, rests better and looks better than usual to him, and may be regarded as a hopeful starter. Preakness did not go to Long Branch, but, after his splendid achievements at Jerome Park, quietly retired to the Test and to receive the eriect preparation due to him, in view of his confident aspirations to the honors of the Saratoga Cup. It ts whispered, too, that his progranime includes the great four- mile race of the meeting, and that Lexington’s time (7:19%) has been threatened by his sagacious and spirited owner. Springbok and Katie Pease @re also here, and their veteran owner is bestow- ing on them ‘unremitting attention, Good judges pronounce them perfect in condition, and the Colonel's great amiability and apparent happiness indicate that he anticipates the pleasure of regal- ing his friends with champagne from the Beresces Cup. Shylock, winner of the Westchester Cup, 18, of course, considered in the Soa and a number of others have record enough to Justify thelr ap- pearance at the post, even among such royal com- any. = The approaching meetings bid fair to be brilliant, The stables alrendy here are those of Coionel McDaniel, Messrs, Doswell & Cammack, Mr. Har- beck, Messrs, Hunter & Travers, Mr. Rice, Gove! nor Bowte, Mr. Jennings, Mr. Hail, Captain Moore, M Bacon, Captain Ewes, &c, Colonel Pur- stable is hourly expected from Jerome ‘ark, and others from the same place will soon follow him, Add to these other stables expected from the West and tne detachment now at Long Branch and there will be @ gathering of Ayers #el- dom equalled in numbers or anality, ajo! ear’ to | Preakness stables for | SUNSTROKE. Views of Medical Men on the Summer Terror. General Treatment in New York and the Tropics. Scarcely less fatal than hydrophobia, and a great deal more likely to occur, is sunstroke, Happily, yet, there have been comparatively tew cases this season, and those not of a serious nature. Several of these might have been avoided by timely precav- tions, and as much suffering may be averted by & more general knowledge of this fell disorder the following statements of some of our most eminent physicians will be read with interest and, itis to be hoped, with profit. It will be seen that the ex- perience of these geutlemen extends overa wide range. How sunstroke is treated East and West, North and South, in tne East Indies, during our war, and right among us, is fully set orth with all the care of men who have expended every energy of research into this as into other ills which afilics humanity. The HERALD representative did not, unfortu- Nateiy, find at home several whose views would be most valuable, such as Drs. Cec- carint, Flint and others; but the subject 1s cer- tainly treated in the widest range by those whom Re was fortunate enough to encounter. AT THE PARK HOSPITAL. At this beneficent institution, on the walls of which appears winter and summer the legend, “Hospital for sunstruck patients,” Dr. M. B. Early stated that there were but jew cases as yet; that July and August were the worst months, and a good dea: of so-called sunstroke was superinduced by whiskey. He did not believe in stimulants in warm weather. 1872 was by far the worst year he had ever known. He had himself treated twenty cases in one day in that year at Bellevue Hospital, and there were over 400 cases altogether, a large proportion of them fatal In May of that year, on the day of the great German triumphal procession, there were several bad cases, although so early in the season. THE TREATMENT ADOPTED. The temperature, which is usually excessively high, 1s reduced. Ice water is applied all over the body with a sponge or douche. Dr. Wood’s appa- ratus will be used shortly. This gives a continu- ous shower to which the patient 1s exposed for ten or fifteen minuges, when he 18 wrapped in a wet sheet. If that does not coo! him the dose is repeated till a normal condition is reached. When the weak pulse denotes exhaustion, stimulants are cautiously administered. An ice cap is placed on the heaa. The Doctor thinks it unnecessary tor persons in health to change their diet in summer. They should keep cool and protect the head. A VOICE FROM THB PAR EAST, Dr. Silas Scuddes, of Grand avenue, near Fulton avenue, Brooklyn, in answer to numerous ques- tons of the HERALD representative. gave a lami- | nous exposition of the entire question, and pre- sented some novel ideas that will undoubtedly engage the earnest attention of the profession. He was for many years and until very recently Chief of the American Mission Dispensary at Ar. cot, in the Madras Presidency, India. Lord Na- pier, the Governor, formerly British Minister at Washington, supplemented the funds of the insti- tution largely with government grants-in-aid, When Secretary Seward made his famous voyage round the world, Lord Napier took him to visit Dr. Scudder, and the record of that visit isin the great statesman’s book. Dr. Scudaer says there are two kinds of sun- stroke, one by the difect ray of the sun, whioh oltenest affects Europeans in India, the other an agection of the brain indirectly occasioned by heat, often on drinking cold water while very hot, ‘This ig the only way in which the natives seem to be affected. These, like the African negroes, le to bear the direct rays with impunity, classes often working for hours bare- headed, sh saved scalps, in the planting fields, without the sitghtest protection. In the first kind, often cali “heat apoplexy,” attacks are oiten as di rous on the mountains wiiere the atmosphere is cool as on the arid plains. The sun’s rays are as direct and the air rarer, and many people overlooking this expose themselves thoughtlessly. ‘The treatment is simple. Stertor- ous breathing is always a marked feature. Cold to the head 1s indicated, witn stimalants cautiously exhibited. Counter irritation in the shape of blisters to the spine, especially to the medulla ob‘ongata. Friction to the whole body, directed towaras the heart, in order to get the venous blood back to the fangs as soon as possibile. In the seeond variety, the sun’s rays indirectly affect the brain, the shock being carried to the solar Plexus in the stomach or “little brain’? ae it popularly called and thence tothe brain. An aid tO convalescence is batuing in warm ot}, which nourishes the body, opens the pores, induces calm, refres! sleep and seems altogether very beneficial. It is especially good in exanthematons fevers. A diet largely composed of Vegetables is good, and stimulants are decidedly anything but good, except as a remedy. . The natives are very abstemious, which possibly accounts jor their exemption from the action of the direct ray. The turban, light, in voluminous folds, through which the air percolates, is an ad- mirable headdress. Darkened rooms and the air kept in motion by large fans, or forced by wheels through wetted mats, is very desirable, VIEWS OP DR. LOOMIS, Dr. Alfred L. Loomis, Professor of the Practice of Medicine in the New York University, says the first thing to be done is to bring down the temper- ature, which ranges irom 108 degrees to 110 degrees. Sunstroke is not necessarily due to the direct ray, anu rarely ‘becomes {frequent till the temperature has been hign for several days, This would account for so few cases last Tuesday. It occurs quite frequently in the evening. However, of course, it is hotter in the sun than in the shade, bed ea should Keep out of the sun as much as possible, Unless the vitality is lowered stimulants are bad. The popular panacea of brandy is potson to sunstroke cases, Auimal food should be eaten sparingly in hot weather. The long hot nights, when people cannot sleep and the bodily tempera- tare gets ievered and rises to 102 degrees, are most dangerous, and precautions should at once be taken. THE AFTER EFFCTS ofsunstroke are peculiar. The mental condition is often abnormal for a long time with curious unde- fined nervous symptoms, Vertigo, disturbance of the ey ey functions, inability toapply the mind often harass a patient for years in warm weather. Dr. Loomis has already sent off numbers of people to the White Mountains to evade the danger of the city nw. In bathing the patient, if cold water will not quickly enough bring down the temperature, warm water inay be used and @ fan waved to in- duce rapid evaporation. Sunstroke ts more likely to attack people who indulge in alconol, laborers ond persons undergoing great muscular exertions, and people in the sull vigor of middle life than old people. Cholera infantum 18 a sort of sunstroke which affects the children and is no doubt due to bike oe cause—excessive and long continued e: STATEMENT OF DR.

Brandy and ammonia may be given. Electricity has becn found in many cases &@ Means of restoring consctousness. In & very sudden attack the post-mortem ap- arances are not so marked as when the patient has lingered in life. Un the 2d July, 1872, there were 68 {atal cases in one day. The average temperature for the week was 97 degrees. There were 212 cases in that week, 75 of which expired within six hours. The matady is not omly due to direct sunlight, and is often very violent when the patient is attacked in his own house. For some time after occur distressing diseases of the ner vous system--inflammation of the membranes of the brain of @ chronic character, symptomatized by perpetual head pains, while ip some cases symptoms of soltening may be evident. Strange contractions of the limbs, trembling and mental disorders, diseases of the eye, dependent on the brain diseases, are often sequel. In very few cases after genuine sunstroke docs the patient in Hormal health, and iv might be better than to suifer as they do. EXPERIENCE OF DR. MERKDITH CLYWER, This gentieman, President of the Neurological ‘eciety, was formerly Medical Director of the De- partment of the South. He gives very interestin; istics, He says that there are two pathological conditions confounded under the name of sun- stroke, In one there is only lose of nerve force, caused by over exertion during exposure to a high heat. It happens alike in the open air and in the close and often vitiated atmosphere of the sugar Tefinery, the furnace room of steamers, laundries, crowded barracks, &c. It is manifested by a feeble and frequent puise, motst skin, Not head and ten- dency to jaimting on any exertion, These cases. tning, YESTERDAY’S VICTIMS | when not immediately fatal, recover by proper treat ment. They are generauy what is popularly knowD as “overcome by the heat.” ‘The symptoms are due to the ni 3 action of excessive heat on the nervous system, in which the internal use of chie- roform has been reported as successiul, In trae sunstroke it is worse than useless. The tendency to death ts by cardiac syncope. Kest in the recum- bent posture, free use of stimulants and moderate cold to the head is the treatment, In the true form of sunstroke from the ictus solis, or direct ray of the sun, the blood from the outset is dlnorganteed more or less, with increased | body heat us a constant phenomenon. The great | oars is to reduce this hiood heat. Todo this cold or tepid douches over the whole body, espe- cially the head, are indicated, In the Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia rubbing the body with place of ice and keeping ice in the armpits nas een very successful. In 1866, of 7 cases thus treated got well, while of 12 cases treated by stimulants and cold effusions 7 died. The after effects are as described by Dr. Hamilton, with the addendum that acute mania may supervene. THE WAR RECORD, Daring the civil war there was a remarkable ex- } emption from true sunstroke in voth Northern | and Southern armies. Most of the cases reported | Were of exhaustion from heat. The oficial record |-of the United States army for the year ending | June, 1882, shows 420 cases and 17 deaths, | and for the year ending June, 1863, 1,200 | cases and 5% deatha. In the Southern | armies, from Jahuary, 1862, to Juty, 1863, there | were only 184 cases 1D an average Mean strength ; | Of 160,231 officers and men, or 11-100 of 1 per cent, ' These facts are conclusive of the compara- | tive rarity of the disease and the good general | condition of the men.

HERALD REPRESENTATIVE—What is the nature of sunstroke, Doctor? Dr. CakNochaN—Sometimes it is a state of ex- haustion, accompanied by depression of the ner- | vous system, ieeble heart, pulse, without an: apoplectic condition 0! the brain. At other times the effects of heat are maniiested by turgeacence of the countenance, redness of the eyes, dryness: of the tongue and symptoms of great cerebral | congestion.

In the first asthenia | | and coilapse shou!d be treated somewhat aiter the | sasnion O/ collapse irom an external injury. | HERALD REPRESENTATIVE—HOW would that be, | Doctor? | Dy. CaRNOCHAN—Stimulants carefully applied’by | the mouth, friction on surface ilong tne spine, synopisms and hot applications to epigastrmm, | using the stimulus as a cordial. In the second | yartety stimulants should be used with great cau- | tion. Here cold applications are essential to the | head, revulsive measures and counter-irritaryon of | the lower extremities. In all cases 0! sunstroke depressing treatment must be generaily avoided, as the source of trouble implies exhaustion from | the debilitating action of excessive fatigue in ex- cessive heat. HERALD REPRESENTATIVE—It is, then, very tm- portant to observe these distinctions? De, CaBNocHaN—Most certainly. The pathologt- cal conditions are very different. In the one case the bratn and nervous system are more or‘less ex- hausted. In the other the brain 18 engorged and overloaded with blood, HERALD REPRESENTATIVE—If one plan were used when the other ought to be, what would be tne resu Dr. CARNOCHAN—Deleterious and probably fatal. HERALD REPRESENSATIVE—Does excessive heat alone bring about coup de soleil ? Dr. CarNocHaN—When the term “insolation” is used it is understood that excessive fatigue is the primary cause and excessive heat develops the malady. HERALD REPRBSENTATIVE—Would the same amount of heat alone produce coup de soled ina body in ordinary condition? Dr. CARNOCHAN—No, The human system is sus- ceptible of bearing for a short time, without in- | ury,® Much higher degree of temperature than he sun’s rays in this climate. HERALD RerResENTATIVE—How high a tem- perature can the human system bear? Dr. CaRNOCHAN—From experiments on them- selves by Faraday and other distinguisned scten- tists in ovens they have borne 325 degrees Fahren- heit tor a short time. Dr. Dobson, of Liverpool, and Dr. Blagden are reported to have entered a sweating chamber in a hospital heated to between 240 degrees and 200 degrees Fahrenhelt for a longer period. HEBALD REPRESENTATIVR—Then eve, Doctor, that excessive heat afone will bring about coup de soliel?

At midday the thermometer indicated 94 tm the shade, which is considerably above the aver age of the week. In addition to this there was the depressing effect of a humid atmosphere, which enervated and prostrated those whose occupation compelled any large amount of outdoor exercise. There was consequently more than the usual run on the soda fountains and the lager beer saloons. ‘The whole duty of man on the sidewalk seemed to be to perspire, to fan and to drink. Life was given up to these pursuits, and all labor that could be deferred was postponed toa cooler season. Every means of locomotion that could save the pedestrian: | ism of the streets was promptty and largely made | use of; hack drivers, the stages and the cars jgProfiting largely by the intensity of the solar ‘Trays. Inthe evening about six o’clock there was a slight mitigation obtatnea of this Kind of metero- logical infiuences by @ rain storm of more than usual copiousness, accompanied by pealing thun- der and remarkably vivid lightning. The dried and parched pavements of the streets were soon overflowing with the descending rain, and at one short period of the storm there was a de- scent of small avalanches of water that Mooded the streets, tested very greatly the capacity of the drains. This storm continued for about an hoor. It did considerable aamage, it is believed, in some of the country. On the Hudson River Railroad at Fort Washington there was a@large landsitp caused by the storm | that stopped the trafic on the road for several hours, This storm, that was expected to have a cooling effect and to be the prelude of delightful edestrian weather for the remainder of the even- ing, ee asters all who had thus shaped their desires. There was little perceptible difference in the effect of the heat up to the hour of midnight.

A Sad Scene at Bellevue Hospital. TWO OTHER CHILDREN BITTEN. Another victim has been added tothe already Wug list of deaths by that moss fearful of all dreaded diseases, hydrophobia, This time the unfortunate -suiferer was a little boy, seven years of age, named Wiliam McGuinnis, who resided with his parents at No. 62 Essex street and who ‘was bitten bya mad dog inthe lip while at play on May 25 last, He was attended toby Dr. Powell, the police surgeon, who was summoned for the pur- pose. He cauterized the wound with Junar caustio and sewed it together. The boy appeared to suffer but little pain, The wound rapidly healed up, and bot little more was thought of the matter, On Wednesday aiternoon, however, the boy went into the honse and complained of feeling somewhat un- well. This was not thought much of, as he had overheated bimseif while playing. After resting a short while it was noticed that he appeared to be unnsually quiet. He would eat or drink nothing, anf soon after a peculiar TWITCHING O¥ HIS MUSCLES was observed and he became very excitable, s@ fmuch so that he did not sleep during the ensuing) Bignt. On Thursday the boy seemed to bi frightened at every little thing, and if.approached) Dy a fly would shriek out, and could with diviculty) be pacified. In the evening he was taken toa frtend’s house, where he ate of an orange, @ banana, and other things, with eeeming appetite, returning home again ateleven o%clock. He then commenced playing with his father, and while the Diay was going on began to have violens twitch- ings of the muscles, throwing himself on the floor and barking and snapping like a dog. He was next attacked with spasms. When somewhat recov- ered irom the first of these he was induced to eat some huckleberries and to drink a dose of salts, ‘This latter he effected only after fearful struggies. He grasped the tumbler CONVULSIVELY WITH BOTH HANDS, and after swallowing one or two teaspoonfals of the liquid was again attacked with spasms more violent toan before, at the same time frothing at the mouth, His parents, not knowing what to do more for him, took him again to the police sta- tion. Dr. Powell was sent tor. Finding he could do nothing be had him removed to Bellevue Hos- pital at half-past three A. M. yesterday. He was placed under the charge of Dr. Robert A. Murray, the house playsician, who gives the following &c- count of the -case :— ‘The patien had a very anxious countenance, the pupils of the eyes being much dilated. He was Slightly foanung at the mouth and desired to spit every few seconds, He was attacked witb violent convulsions every two or three minutes, writhing aud twisting about in @ feariul manner. His skin ‘was hot and perspiring. His puise was 132 and his respiration twenty-four. The boy wasasked to drink water, which be did convulstvely. This threw him into tetanoid spasms after swallowing a teaspoonful orso. The spusts shorty alter this became very frequent, recurring every fifieen seconds. He was treated with a hy ermic injectton of morphia, which, however, produced no effect on the respi- ration or the pupil of the eye. After an interval of twenty-five minutes another hypodermic injec- | tion was administered, but with no better effect than the last. Thepatient at this time appeared to be suffering intense agony, SNAPPING HIS TEBTH and moaning like dog, while at the same time he frothea at the mouth. He was then anesthized with chloroform, which quieted him for a sfort while, when he suffered from convulsions and became delirious, when {tt was found neces- ‘sary to use some foree to restrain him in his bed. He finally died in gueat agony at Gve A. M. yester- THB RESULT OP THE POST-MORTEM.
