POISONING ~ ENGLIND.

From Tie L0udJ1 Spectator.
"FR.C.S.' publishes ana unpleasant hint in The
Tines. He saws that hc recently mentioned a case
which had come before him. IN which he felt certain
that the patient had been poisoned. An eminent
London physician present Immediately mentioned
another case within hi- own experience; while a
third guest ialsO medical gave a thId illustration.
there are 900 medical practitioners IN England,
and FRC.~" believes that the ma orIty could RE-
late similar stories. A. the medical men speak from
experiences OF entire lives or say tnlrtySlE years,
this would mean that 800 cases of poisoning occur
every year In England, the majority of winch re-
main uudctectcd. That Is rather gosSlplug way of
arriving at such statistics II u.s. az least equally
posi- be that one ordinary dOctOrIu every two never

mauder cases of suicide, unsuccee- ul attempts
at -cf-muTdcr being undoubtedly very common.
Those deductions would leave the average about 10

GLIDING on GLASS.

\ correspondent gives these directions in The
English NcchdHic for gliding: Designs or orna-
mcnts Of any kind can be- produced on glass or
ivory, by painting, with a very fine cameI-halr
pencil, nitro-muriatc cf gold over the designs.
Hold the glass or ivory thus painted over a
bottle, in which hydrogen Is being generated :;
in short time the design will shine with con-
exposure to the air. The thickness of the coat
ing of gold l. not more than the ten-mllllonth
pant Of an inch Another method. in which the
use of hydrogen i dispensed with, Is to mix
gold powder with bOrax and water; then paint
the lines and ornaments with it. When quite
dry, the glass Is to be put into a stove heated
to "a high temperature. The bOraX Is vltUhed
and ccmcnts the gold with great trmne,S to the
glass. To make gold powder put into an
carthenware mortar some gold leaf with a
little honey or thicl, gum water, and grind the
mixture till the gold Is reduced to extremely
minute PARTICLES when this Is done, little
warm water will wash ont the honey or gum,
leaving the gold behind in powder.

INCANDEsECENT ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

In concluding his report upon the different
systems of lighting which were exhibited at the
Paris Exposition Du Monccl says that the sya-
TENS of Incandc,cence are already numerous,
and doubtless many others will soon DC added
Most of them differ from one another only by
the composition of the incandescent carbon and
its mode OF fabrication. Ii Is impossible to
base any correct judgment on the more or less
brilliant aspect Of the lamps, for, a. they are
fed by electric generators OF very different IN
tensities, those which have the strongest cur
rents naturally furnish the most brilliant and
whitest light. 1t would therefore he lmprudent
he thinks, to pronounce in favor OF any single
system until serious examination and COM
parisOn have been made by Il commission OF
dlsinterested and scientific men. There Is,
however, reason 10 hope fOI a satisfactory solu
ton of the problem OF household illumination
