The Danger Of Using Shot for Cleaning
Bottles.

Fordos has recently directed atten-
ton to the dangers of lead poisoning
where shot are used for cleaning bottles
that are to be used for wine and other
beverages. When shot are placed in q
glass of water, carbonate of lead is at
once formed, a portion of it being no.
ticcd as q precipitate in the water,
while another portion of it attaches
itself as thin film to the sides of the
vessel. This film adheres so closely to
the glass that it cannot be removed by
rinsing with water alone, an acid being
required to remove it. When shot are
used for cleaning bottles, which are
afterward we'll rinsed out, the carbonate
of lead suspended in the water will be
removed, but that portion which is
attached to the sides of the bottle re-
mains, and is afterwards dissolved by
the liquid placed in the bottle, If it
possesses a sufficient solvent power. If
the shot are only shaken up with water
for short time, it is scarcely possible
for the carbonate of lead to become
attached to the sides of the bottles, but
oftentimes the shot are left in the bot
tie with the water for some time. Be-
sides the rinsing is not always done so
carefully as it should be, and the car
Donate of lead removed. Fordos took
four half-pint medicine glasses that had
been cleaned with shot, and in one he
placed white wine, in another red wine,
n the third quinine wine, and in the
fourth vinegar. After standing two
days each was found to contain q con-
siderable quantity of lead.
Another danger might also arise from
shot getting lodged in the narrow
creases at the bottom of certain bottles,
when the action of an acid upon it
would dissolve not only the lead, but
also the arsenic, which is always present
in shot in sufficient quantity to render
the liquids poisonous.

Religious Matters in Japan.

A letter from Japan in the Cologne
Gazette says that the religious question,
which is an increasing topic of discus
sion among the Japanese, has again
been brought before the public by q
memorandum issued by two officials of
the religious department. The memo
randum begins by pointing out that
Japan has made such immense progress
that her civilization and commerce are
equal to those of Europe, but that in
religious matters she still hesitates be-
tween Buddhism and Christianity. It
therefore proposes that public disputa-
tions should be organized between
Buddhist and Shinte priests on one
side, and Christian preachers on the
other. Each of these disputations
would take place on specified subject,
to he agreed upon beforehand by the
contending parties. The speeches
would be taken down by shorthand
writer's, and published in several Ian
guages, and an interval of 10 days
would elapse between one disputation
and the next. By these means, the
continues, the world
would be able to decide which religion
is the true one, and make its choice &C.
cordingly. The expenses of the proposed
would be covered by the
proceeds of the sale of the shorthand

The TichbOrne Estate.

It now appears that the Tichboine
estate will probably be lost in litil,a,
ton, in consequence of the attempt
made upon it by the bogus claimant
Author Orion. The trustees of the
estate have had to bear the brunt of the
legal proceedings, the costs of which
amount to over 5000, 900, which is
more than the value of the property.
The Doughty trustees, who had charge
of portion of the property, and who
were not involved in the suit for eject
ment, expressed their willingness to
bear certain portion of the expense,
but, as the agent of the estate insisted
that they should pay more than fair
proportion, they now refuse to pay any
thing. The result will be, either that.
the estate will be sold, or that the
trustees of the two estates of the infan;
heirs will enter into a prolonged litiga,
ton. Thus the bogus claimant, al
though he has failed to get into the
house, and has had to go to the pem-
Tertiary, may have the gloomy satisfae-
lion in his prison meditation Of knowing
that he has tumbled the house down,
and that, if he cannot enjoy the proper

John Phillips, the English Geoloxist.

John Phillips, the English geologist,
who died in London April "a, was born
December Is, 1900. He was nephew
of William Smith, tho father Of Brit
ish geology, and doubtless received
from him the taste for geological study
which became in after-ife an all-ab-
sorbing pursuit. He was chosen Sec
rotary to the British Association, and
in the work Of editing the transactions
}of that body acquired many valuable
hints and much solid information a. to
the then comparatively enexplored
fields of geological science. His first
publication was made in 1926, and from
that time on to his death he worked 49,
siduously. In all he contributed to
the literature of geology sixty books
and papers. He was at different times
President of the Geological Society
and ::of the British Association, and
Professor of Geology in Kings College,
London, in Trinity College, Dublin.
and in Oxford University. He receiv-
ed the Doctorate from Dublin, Cam
bridge and Oxford. His latest works
are History of Vesuvius, and the &C.
ology of the Thames Valley. To me-
teorology he contributed Three Years.

A Bad Claim.

A curious discovery has just been
made at Abort, near Paris. Some boys
were thinning over the heaps of rubbish
shot on q piece of waste ground, when
one of them brought to light a number
of sealed packets which had been bur-
led beneath the surface. About a
hundred of these parcels were found,
each containing what were apparently
Bank of France notes of 25f. each. The
boys carried them home to their
parents, but on their way sold several
for fifty confines each, one man buying
four for franc. This soon came to
the ears of the police, who commenced
by recovering the treasure from the
holders of it. Two men who had pur-
chased some of the notes were arrested.
They had succeeded I'M changing one at
q booksellers and one at q wine shop,
and when taken had just treated them
selves to q sumptuous breakfast from
the profits of their financial operation.
The paper was found to be forged, but
an excellent imitation. All bore date
of the 18th November, 1870, and had no
doubt been concealed there by parties
fearing detection. The police con-
tinued the search and found other
packets, the total representing a sum of
100, 900 francs. Each bundle was con-
tanned in an envelope of yellow paper,
and sealed with red wax. Some inhab-
itants of Abort remember seeing about
two months back, two we'll dressed
men at the spot, one appearing to turn
over the ground while the other kept
watch. The whole of this spurious
paper has been taken possession of by
the Bank of France. A rather comical
incident followed the discovery. The
proprietor of the ground, who resides
in Paris, hearing that the treasure had
been found there, hastened to put in a
claim for half of it, to which he would
be entitled by article TT of the Civil
Code, and was previously disappointed
on finding that all was worthless.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
How to Raise Potatoes.

~ OS~S~S~
Twill give q plan by which I have
succeeded best, after nine years exper-
imenting in different ways and modes
of culture. First, prepare tho ground
by ploughing and narrowing until it is
well pulverized to the depth of ten
inches; lay off the rows three and one
half feet apart, running twice in row,
with a turn-plow; cut the potatoes to
one eye on piece, drop them from
twelve to fifteen inches apart in the
row; fill the row nearly level with the
surface by putting in light manure !;
we'll rotted chip manure, forest leaves,
etc., is better than fresh stable manure.
Throw two burrows on the row with one
horse turn-plow; do not cover too deep,
soil the depth of two inches ON the
manure will be sufficient.
When the potato sprouts begin to
appear, throw two burrows on them,
covering the first with fresh soil from
one and half to two inches deep, in q
few days the sprouts will be up nice
and clean Of weeds and grass, and will
be easily managed. When the grass
and weeds begin to appear, or the
ground needs stirring, take the turn
plow, run as close to the potatoes as
you can without tearing them up or
making them fall down Char next to the
row, then all the grass and weeds can
be got away with but little work with
the hoe; plow ont the middles with
tongue pillow. After eight or ten days
have elapsed, and the vines are almost
high enough to begin to fall down, take
tongue pillow, run each side of the row
as close and 90 deep as you can, then
split the middles with turn-plow, lap
ping the dirt around the vines. taking
care not to cover them up. Go out of
the patch, and don't venture into it any
more until you zee the vines begin to
die. When they are dead, dig your
potatoes. which will be large, we'll ma
tured, uniform, and good to eat. Be
careful not to let the sun burn them it
makes them rot.
Be sure, that your ground is dry
enough to work we'll when you 20 in for
that purpose. It is not necessary that
the ground be naturally very rich. I
have raised very large potatoes, and q
good yield, on thin land.-Cor. Rural
