PIPERINE. The last number of tbe
American Journal of Science and Ais
conducted by Professor Silliman, contains
an interesting paper on the use of Piperine.
with some observations on the constituents
principles, and pharmaceutical preparations
OF the Black Pepper, by George w. Car
penter, of Philadelphia.
Plperine is the active principle of The
Black Pepper, separated and concentrated
by Chemical Processes, and is said to act
with equal energy, in arresting the par
oxysms of INTERIM tent fever, as SuIphate of
Qmnine. Mr.. Carpenters paper contains
cases reported by several hi ghly respecta-
bile physicians of this city, in which the
powers of the Pperine, as a remedy in in
termittants are fully established Author
lty of an unquestionable character is also
referred to, equally commendatory of it's
effects in the treatment of this disease in
Europe.
We hope the physicians of this country
will give the article fair trial, and if #
supports the character assigned, it will CON
stitnte an important discovery and yalua-
bic addition to our Materia Medica.

HoRsEs. 1t may be generally remark
ed that men who drive fast have swift hors-
es, not that they drive fast because they
have swift horses, but because fast driving
makes horses swift. A horse may com
monty be trained to dull and heavy, or to
an airy and fleet gate. Nature unques-
tionably does much; but education does
far more towards producing the great diff
ference in the speed of horses, than most
men are willing to allow. Horses are
more frequently injured by driving them
beyond their habituaL pace, than beyond
their native power. The best direction for
the education Of horses, is, " drive fast and
stop often" Wiltiamsto,en paper.

William Warren has been tried at Alba
ny, formal practice as physician in negli-
gently administering arsenic (by mistake
to John ,Hogle, who died by reason thereof.
The Indictment chargedi it as misdemeanor
only. The defendants counsel moved to
quash the indictment, insisting that if the
defendant were guilty Of any offence it was
mansloughter and not a misdemeanor. The
court, after very elaborate argument,
were equally divided, two judges against
two. The cause then went to the jury, who
convicted the prisoner of the misdemeanor,
and he was sentenced to three years solta-
ry imprisonment in the county gaol.

SPOTS ON THE SUN.
5th mo. 90. 1925.

The disk of the sun exhibits to the telescope, at
present, an unusual number of spots. On Wednes-.
day last, we able to enumerate eleven, one oi
which, little North Of the centre, was very large,
and surrounded by an extensive penumbra The
solar spots are not often more than thirty de-
grees distant from the Suns equator; but one OF
those visible on Wednesday, was near the Southern
limb Since that time, this spot has Disappeared
and several of the others have separated into clus-
tiers Of small spots. Many of our readers will re
collect the similar appearances that were exhibited on
the solar disk, in 1926. Fhey are, sometimes, Of
enormous size, occupying space Of $4,000 miles
in diameter and are occasionally so mutable as to
exhibit TO the eye of the astronomer the appearance
of exploding into fragments while he is gazing at
them.

TIE CoNTRAsr.-Several months ago, we aiuieo
to the deserton of nearly an entire brigade OF REM
sylvania volunteers from Black Rock, on the Cana
da line, during the late war OF that occurrence,
and the subsequent trial conviction and punishment
of the deserters, the Pttsburg Gazette gives the
following account: i
..These men had volunteered to serve tour of
sic months. When nearly three months IN service.
and while lying on the line, in the presence OF the
enemy then threatening the invasion OF our territory
they deserted almost in body. OF whole bri-
gade Of Volunteers, but a majors command was
left. The Court Martial here was composed OF re-
spectacle officers the president was man learned
in the law. The desertion was clearly proved, anu
a great number were pronounced guilty. ana sen
fenced TO pay fine of sixty dollars each-but none
were sentenced to capital even the slightest cor
pora punishment"
The case of these men and their punishment con-
trasts strongly with that Of the Tennessee Militia
men, and the cruel doom with which they were visit
ed. The Pennsylvania troops acted under the most
aggravating circumstances and were nevertheless
treated with great lenency. On the other hand,
there every thing to justify and palllate the
conduct Of the Tennesseans-but for them there
was neither Justice nor mercy. They were murder
ed-yea murdered with the selnblance OF legal
FORM because their commanders were men regard
