in accordance with the requirements in
the case. After maturo deibe ration
upon the evidence adduced, one of the

Napa rivers, ~ we'll - upon the shores
of San Pablo bay, daily see floating

mains Of drowned animals. On the

Tm Young American (nlinois) Plain
dealer says: Rev. James Tubbs has lost

MrssRs. EuLRNBz1a and Vohl have
shown that phosphorus - % readily
absorbed by carbon that taken, in the
form of pills, carbon constitutes COM
plete antidote. The pills are made OF
animal charcoal powdered and mixed
with little gum. In match factories
these pills have relieved operatives
poisoned by phosphorus, and are, there
fore, . much better remedy than that
proposed by NJ. Personne; tho essence
Of terebenthine having been found to
produce violent headaehesby continued
use.

PRoF. ScHu1dzB made an announce
ment, ut q recent meeting of = German
association, which was received with
enthusiasm, it being regarded as
pioneer discovery by research In > new
field, which is likely to be of great i'm
portance in applied chemistry: He has
succeeded in obtaining melithic acid
by the direct oxidation of carbon with
permanganic acid in alkaline solution.
Oxalic and other acids had been also
produced previously by the same pro
cess. Me1lithic acid WAS obtained from
various forms of carbon, including
graphite, and, on distillation with soda
lime, gave benzole, and the 4astef,,spon
nitration and subsequent reduction
yielded aniline.
