ming the loss of heat through a single layer to be 100, through a double layer of the same material it is found to be as follows: Thin silk, 97; gutta percha, 96; shirtings, 95; stout silk, 94; thick home-spun linen, 91; chamois leather, 88-90; flannel, 86; summer buckskin, 88; winter buckskin, 86. Thus we see that the loss of heat through two layers of thin silk is only three per cent. less than through one layer. The inference is that what the substance is and what its weight, does not make so much difference as its texture and volume. How the body may lose heat rapidly by wet clothing, and ill results follow, is shown by the following experiment: A rabbit was shorn of its fur, its temperature was then found to be 102 degrees. It was wrapped with a wet cloth and placed in a room, the temperature of which was 66 degrees. At the expiration of five hours the temperature of the rabbit was found to be 76 degrees. The capacity of water to absorb heat is known to be greater than any other substance. Now, when our clothing is damp from perspiration or from any other cause, our bodies lose just as much heat as the moisture in our clothing is capable of absorbing. The importance of always having dry material next to the skin is evident, and that material which will retain the least moisture is the best. Woolen fibre is found to answer this pu

nd transports it readily to the outer framework of cotton, thereby protecting against the possibility of wet clothing next the skin to chill the surface at every change in temperature. The cotton framework without, makes the material two-fold in its action; for while the wool has a power of absorption of moisture, the cotton has that of attraction and retention, so that any perspiration exuded from the body is taken up by the cotton from the wool and retained, while any water from without striking the cotton surface is attracted and retained, and prevented from penetrating through to the body. With all this, the material is porous, and does not therefore, retard the poisonous exhalations from passing off. The material is as nearly non-shrinkable as can be claimed of any material, owing to the cotton back, thereby having an underwear which will fit properly at first as well as last.
