writes to US from Brooklyn that he tried the Mag
netc Powder on cockroaches, and-it did MT kill
them. This shows an utter want Of prncipie-or
rather, of tdste-on the part of the cockroaches

bled with cockroachcs end therefore tried i,
but we would suggest that our friend take one OF
the animals by the "scrua of the neck" and put
about half a teaspoonful of the powder in its
mouth closing its jaws that it may not spit 1t ous
again. This would be good test.
