and perhaps there will be none, but it is well
to be on the safe side.
It is getting more and more dangerous to

customers through ''solid block-tin'' pipes
have been analyzed by the French Academy
of Sciences and are found to contain danger
GUS proportions of tin and copper. The
large increase in cases of paralysis in France
within a few years is said to be due to the
free use of these waters.
There is report that the supply of cam
phor threatens to fall considerably below the
demand within short time. In the province
of Tosa, Japan, which in the past has fur
nished considerable proportion of the Eu-
ropean supply, the manufacturers are now
reduced, according to report, to boiling the
roots of trees whose stalks and branches
have already disappeared. This may be true
and then again some enterprising spectators
may be trying to put the price of camphor
up.
General Grant makes an earnest appeal
through the columns of the Herald for JUS

affair. This indemnity should have been re-
turned long ago. As General Grant says !:
