Poison.

The poison so freely used by the Ital-
ians In the seventeenth century was
called "aqua tofnna," from tho name
of the old woman Tofania, who made
and sold 1t in small fiat Walls which she
called mamma Of St. Nicholas, Oh one
side Of which was an image Of the saint.
She carried on this traffic for half CEN
tary and eluded tho police, but on be-
ing detected confessed that she had
been a party to poisoning ak hundred
people. Numerous persons were i'm
plicated by her Of all ranks, and many
of them were publicly executed. All
Italy was thrown into a Torment, and
and many fed, while some persons of
distinction, on conviction, were stran-
gled In prison. 1t appeared to have
been used mainly by married women,
who were tired of their husbands.
Four or six drops were fatal dose, but
the effect WAS not sudden and therefore
not suspected. 1t was as clear as wa
ter, but tho chemists have not agreed
upon Its real composition. A procla-
nation Of the Pope described 1t as aqua
fortis distilled into arsenic, and others
considered 1t as a solution of crystal
lized arsenic. The secret of its pre-
paration was conveyed to Paris, where
the Marchloness de Brinvalicrs poison
cd her father and two brothers, and
she with many others were executed,
and tho preparers OF 1t were burned at
the stake.

SCIENTIFIC.

Flying Fish. THE mechanism of the
movement Of the fylng-fsh through
the air has been described with much
detail by Professor Moeblus, of Kiel,
who concludes, from the observations
of those who have published on tho
subject and his own, that the flying
fish dart from the water with great
speed without reference to tho course
Of the wind and waves. They make
no regular flying motions with their
pectoral and ventral fins, but spread
vibrations can be seen in the ourstrcch-
cd pectoral fins. The hinder part Of
the body, while the fish moves through
the air, hangs somewhat lower than
the forcpart Of the body. They usual
ly fly further against the wind than
with 1T, or if their track and the direc-
ton Of the wind form an angle. Most
tlying-fish which fly against or with
the wind continue their whole
course Of flight in the same direction
in which they come out Of the water.
Winds which blow from one side on to
the original track of the fish bend their
course inward. All fish which are ut Il
distance from the vessel hover in their
whole course in the air near the surface
of the water. Ii in strong winds they
then they fly little higher; sometimes
they cut with the tail into the crest Of
the same. Only such nying-tish rise
to a considerable height (at tho high
est, by chance, five metres above the
surface OF the sea) whose course in the
air becomes obstructcd by vessel. In
the daytime tlying-tish seldom fall OH
the deck of the ship, out mostly in the
night; never in a calm, but only when
the wind blows. For the most part
they fall OH ships which do not rise
higher than two OF three yards above
the water, when they are sailing on
the wind or wit. ..alf-wind, and arc
making good course. Flying-iish
never come on board from the lec-sidc,
but only OH the windwand side. Be-
fore vessels which pass between their
swimming schools tho fish fly into the
air as before prcdaceous fish or cetac-
cans.

A Mystery Explained.

seems to have searched the whole
mountain side without being able to
find pair of blooming cheeks or an
inch Of healthful skin Mrs. White,
who has remained at home because
but whose fresh complexion and bright
eyes seem to have caught their bloom

how you can keep so healthy in this

member how poorly was last spring,
some days even being confined to my
bed. DR.. -- told Mr.. White to send
me to the mountains, but knew he
couldn't afford it, and tried DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Its
effects were 80 marvellous, that l also
tried his Golden Medical Discovery, to
cleanse my system. In my opinion,
one bottle of the Prescription and the
the White Mountains for a sick woman.
l have only been out of the city a week
during the whole summer; then my
husband and went to Buffalo and
stopped at DR.. Pierce's Invalids'' and
Tourists Hotel. The baths and me-
chanical apparatus for treating patients
were alone worth going to sec: Be-
sides, our accommodations were better
than we had at Long Branch last year,
and the drives and scenery are superb.
Let mo advise you to use DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, and try the In
valids' and T0nrists' Hotel next sum-
mer instead of the White Mountains.

Naphtha and Benxine.-We have often
been asked the difference between bcn-
zine and naphtha, many people want
ing to know whether naphtha didn't
include benzine, or whether it wasn't
the same thing under Il marketable
name. a prominent retiner says that
benZlne is the first product that arises
from the process of refining crude oil !,
and bears the same relation to nmpht tha
that distillate does to refined OIL In
other words, benZine Is crude naphtha.
The reason 1t Is not quotablc under the
name Of benZine, therefore, Is because
it has to be reduced to naphtha before
1t is marketable in any extensive guam
tity. The process that benzine is sub
.ject to, to produce naphtha, IL not u
separate business, but is carried on by
the reglar oil retincrs In the same stills
and rctorts that the refined oil is pro-
duccd. The benzine is treated with
sulphuric acid, the resnlt Is naphJha,
which is III great demand IN Europe,
Of anilinc dyes, while 1t Is also put to

It's price, but it's rapid evaporation also

large seller Of 1t has to take into con-
sideration tho depreciation that might
take place by the time he sells it on
that account, and for the same reason
buyers give no more orders than I'M
mediate necessity requires. All retin-
ers, however, do not produce nuphtha, =,
but some OF them sell tho bcnzine,
which is largely used for fuel purposes,
for which 1t is much better than coal, .,
as 1t is not only absolutely cheaper,
but gives Il steadicr heat.
