A Timely Caution.

This is the season when great num-
bers of people indulge in the pleasures
of rambles in the woods, rock giens, and
other adjuncts of rural life; but aside
from sentiment it is a time to beware of
poisonous plants and shrubs. We may
"serve purpose" just now, in mention
ing a few of the most common that should
not be touched: The two varieties of
poison-ivy, sometimes called poison-vine
and poison-oak, one of which grows
erect as 3 shrub from two to five feet
high, and the other as vine from eight
to thirty feet high. Poison sumac, also
known as poison-elder and swamp-dog-
wood, growing as a shrub or small tree
from ten to eighteen feet high, generally
in moist places; the foliage is light
green. OF those which should not even
be placed in the mouth are the wild car
rot, wild parsley, cowbane, hemlock-
parsley, water-hemlock (the roots of
which are deadly poison), and poison
hemlock (also virulent poison); the
root, leaves and berries of pokeweed,
scake and Target are. poisonous. Chill
dren sometimes eat the berries of the
buck-thorn, which is violent and dam
gerous purgative, frequently producing
dangerous symptoms
The only safe way to avoid the I'M
pleasant or dangerous effects is to scru-
pulously refrain from handling or chew
ing any plant, or any part of it, unless
the plant is well known to you, and
known to be innoxious.
As ivy is one of the most common pois-
ons, the following preventive may be
found efficacious Hyou have been in con-
tact with it, as soon as possible thereaf-
ter sponge yourself thoroughly all over
with strong vinegar or alcohol, with
salt sufficient i'm it to make it briny; then
wash off with strong soap-suds. Cure
for the afection-when it breaks out,
scratch it till the surface is highly irri-
tated; then apply a strong solution of
oxalic acid. This is very severe, but a
single application will be sufficient.

MeteOrs and Comets.

In the year 1866 there occurred, on
November 18th, very remarkable show
er of meteors or shooting stars, and
these exceptional displays were found to
have required at intervals of 33 IA
years. 1t was shown by somewhat alb
struse calculations, into which we can
not here enter, that if a meteor swarm
reyolved round the sun in an oval path
in exactly SO IA years, the disturbing
effect of the planet would be exactly
such as had been observed. Hence, it
appeared that these meteors must per-
form their revolutions in 33 IA years,
and it was then inferred that they must
be moving in the same path as a comet
observed in the year 1866, few months
before the display of shooting stars.
Further evidence was supplied by the
discovery that the path of the well-known
August meteors was the same as that of
the great comet of 1862, and that. a
shower of meteors annually observed in
April followed the track of the great
comet of 1861, through the tail of which
the earth is believed to have passed. But
it was in 1872 that the most interesting
facts in connection with the relation be-
tween comets and meteors were brought
to light. Toward the end of 1872 as
tronOmers were eagerly expecting Biela's
periodical comet, which had excited
their attention in 1916 by its splitting up
into two distinct bodies; but it was
sought in vain. In its place, however,
appeared, at the end of November, a
striking display of meteors, and subse-
quently, on the I'd and Sd of December,
a comet was observed in the track
which the meteor stream might
be supposed to have taken. 1t has
been inferred, with some show of
reason, that the earth actually passed
through one of the heads of Biela's
comet on November %, 1872, and that
the only effect was shower of shooting
stars. At a little distance the meteor
swarm would seem to have presented
the ordinary appearance of comet.
The chain of circumstantial evidence
which connects comets and meteors is
still further strengthened by the exam
inatiOn of their spectra. BY the help of
the spectroscope it is found that the light
of comets is derived to a great extent
from glowing vapor of carbon in
some form or other, and it has also been
shown that meteoric stones which have
fallen on the earth give off, when heat
ed in vacuum, vapors producing the
same spectra as those observed in COM
cts.
1t would seem probable that the nu-
cleus of a comet is neither a solid nor a
gaseous body, but mere cluster of dis
crete meteoric particles through which
the earth might pass without experience
ing any effect beyond that of startling
shower of shooting stars, and that the
head is composed of gases evolved from
these meteors under the combined ac-
ton of the suns heat and the rarefac-
ton of space. With regard to the form
alton of tails the most plausible theory
appears to be that they are due to q re-
pulsive force emanating from the sun
POSSIBLY electrically which acts on the
gases evolved from the nucleus, and
generates tails in different directions ac-
cording to the molecular constitution of
the gases.-London Saturday ReUte,o.
