Phosphorus.

Phosphorus resembles sulphur in
many OF its properties. 1t is snapni>h
| and irritable element and lgnites OH The
slightest friction, or on contact with the
air. 1t must be handled very tenderiy
and under water. Some forty years age
student in chemistry, about II years
Old. bought q bit of phosphorus, inclo,ed
1t IN bit of paper and put it in his
pocket. He had hardly reached his
room, when the phosphorus ignited aud
badly burned the skin adjacent to his
back, and he. thereby learned lesson
which he did not know before. The
burns ofphosphorus are unusually deep.
and cause ugly and painful wounds. In
using it, cut it under water, and never
handle it with the fingers. Handle it
with a pair Of forceps, and in small
quantities at a time. Always have
water SO near that, should it ignite, it
may be quenched at once.
| Phosphorus may be dissolved in olive
oil, but not IN water. It comes to mar-,
ket IN the form Of sticks, no larger than
pencil. In winter these sticks are
brittle, but in summer they are flexible.
When pure and fresh they are nearly
white, but exposure to air or water gives
them a yellowish hue.
Its chief use is making friction match
es. Blocks Of wood, veil baked and
dried, are divided into short and slender
pieces; the free ends are tipped in melt .
ed sulphur and then into an emulsion OF
phosphorus, glue, saltpeter and chlorate
OF potash. Match making is danger
GUS business, because the chief mater
ais used are explosives, and the vapors,
if inhaled, eventually produce death of
the lower jaw.
Phosphorus is an element that abounds
IN some material found on the surface of
the earth. Lime rock contains it. These
rocks are disintegrated by the influence
Of air and rain. The phosphorus they
hold is gradually washed into the soil,
where the tibers of roots find it, suck it
up into their substance and store it in
seeds, especially in grains. Animals eat
the grain and SO obtain the phosphorus
they need, partly to feed their bony
structures and partly to feed their nerv-
Gus systems. A large per cent. of the
phosphorus used is obtained from bones,
so that plants eat at natures first tabi,
and animals from the second.

THE MALLEY TRIAL.

New HAVEN, June 23.-The testimony
of DIR. Frances A Harris, of Boston, in
the Malley trial to-day an expert on
drowning and on arsenical poisoning was
very interesting. In the past five years he
had examined about 140 cases of drowning
and had made about 800 post mortem ex-
aminations in that time. He said he was
also familiar with the action of arsenic on
the human system
In answer to an Hypothetical question,
the witness said:
THE only reasonable opinion that could
be formed was that she died from drown
ing. If followed the question correctly,
that the organs of the body were healthy,
which would indicate that death from nat
ural causes had not taken place, it leaves
the determination of the cause of death
between two things arsenical poisoning
and drowning-and of these two the pro-
per opinion should be that the cause of
death was drowning"
Dr. Harris said that the presence of ar
senic in the stomach had no connection
with the fatal issue. Arsenic, when it pro-
duced fatal poisoning, must do so either
bv violent local inflammation or by the
effect upon the other parts of the system.
the other organs and tissues after it has
been absorbed. The arsenic, under the
conditions of the question, not being alb
sorbed in the stomach and intestines, had
no effect on the remote organs and tissues.
Tt created no local Inflammation, therefore
its influence was not fatal.
In cases of drowning, the witness said,
the condition of the eye, whether open or
shut. is of no value in determining whether
the body was drowned; the same with the
mouth. He should not consider the absence
Of water from the lungs satisfactory evi-
dence that the person did not dieby drown
ing.
George r K..lsey was called by the
state as the first witness in rebuttal. He
said he saw the body of Jennie Cramer on
the beach on Saturday, August 6, and as
sisted in putting it into the wagon and
taking it to the morgne. He did not think
there was any opportunity for water to run
out Of the mouth, nor did he see any run
out.

next witness, said he had been assistant

MISSISSIPPI LEvEEs.

GREENvnLE. Miss, June 23.-The
levee board adjourned last night to the
regular meeting, the second Monday in
July. Il addressed memorial to Gov.
Lowry, asking that the legislature be con
vened and presenting reasons therefor per
taining to the workings of the board. The
contracts for closing breaks let at the April
meeting were recinded, the water not hav-
ing permitted the execution of said con-
tracts in time to prevent a second overflow,
and it now being deemed judicious to dc
fer letting of the said contracts for the
present. The contractors are reported to
be dissatisfied with his action. The en-
gineer viii no doubt make accurate esti-
mates of the work after the water goes
down. lie will also furnish profile esti
mates of the work to the river commission.
The engineer is authorized to have repairs
made at not more than ten cents per cubic
yard. The policy of this order is to afford
employment TO hands on overflowed places
to prevent their abandonment.
