The recent great fires have had a double
effect in the insurance world-causing a
marked increase in the number Of risks offered
New-York tribune., 1879-01-21

When Mr. Bull s blue ne is very blue indeed :;
and British newspapers just now are not the most
cheerful of reading. Correspondents have begun
to write to them that probably the Empire is going
swiftly to destruction as the Roman Empire did
after the age Of the Antounes One writer puts the
whole matter INTO characteristic hut-shcil. %
longas a man can pay his way, he may do anything
that plcasrs him when his cxchcquer runs low,
the flsnd. of his prosperity know him no more,
and empires in dlsurcSs fare no better than men,
This melancholy gentleman declares in conclusion
that the empires aforesad must in any case. come
down cvcntually;" and evidently believes that his
own oountrv', conclusion is not far off. So the
wisest policy for all nations is 80 TO use prosperity
rs to leave the fewe3 possible causes for enemies
to exut over Their fall. That is a policy OF which
we fear that England knows nothing.

Arsenical COlors.

Few are aware to what extent arsenic is
used as a coloring agent. and how danger
Gus it is to use articles of apparel that con.
tain 1t. A recent case of mysterious
poisoning in England caused chemical
analysis 20 be made of some paper collars
and cuffs, and in a single collar l0.IO
grains of arsenic were detected. Subse-
quently 1t was ascertained that many of the
manufacturers were accustomed 10 add
large quantities of arsenic to the sizing
used in paper goods, in order 10 give
good gloss. Many OF the fashionable
greens used in dress goods and wall papers
are dependent for their beauty on the con-
tanned arsenic, and though the public have
been repeatedly warned against their use,
the cheapness OF producing so attractive a
color has led manufacturers to keep the
market supplied with them. To stay in a
room covered with arsenical paper, or to
wear articles of dress containing it, is to
live In an atmosphere filled with poison
Gus particles. which are constantly being
absorbed by the system, and sure to give
rise to unpleasant if not dangerous results.
An easy method of ascertaining the pres
ence OF arsenic in dangerous quantities is
to boil small piece of the suspected pa
per or fabric in glass test-tube, with
little hychochloric acid and few bits of
copper wire that have been carefully
scraped clean and bright. II arsenic be
present, the copper will become covered
with grayish-white deposit. A conform
atory test may be applied by carefully dry
ing the copper, and heating in a dry tube,
when the arsenic will be driven from the
copper and condensed on the cold portion
Of the tube, forming dark. black ring
