TARTAR EMETIC AS A POISON.

Anthony and its compounds, says hnort-
edge would not be dangerous were IL not Ioi
the too prevalent opinion that they may oe tseu
in all cases safely as emetics. AntlmOny ltsel1
cannot be used in this way until 1t has been SO
modified by chemical admiXture as TO be CAP
able of decomposition 10y the fluids OF the
body. For this purpose tartaTlZeu anslnOny,
in the form commonly known as tartar emetlC,
is usually employed and most cases OF anti
mOnial poisoning have arisen from the adj
minisfIatiOn OF tartar emeilc III large doses.
The employment of this substance 10 detect
children or servants who have taken Tor
hidden articles of food has led to some very
sad cases of poisoning The practice canD0C
be too strongly repreheDded. Tartar emetlc
has also been used, as foolishly, TO cure con-
frmed drunkards of their bad habit 10y cails-
ing sickness. When tartar emeuc has been
taken in poisonous amount and vomiting does
not follow, il must be excited until, II pos
sible all the poison has been rejected.
Copious draughts of tepid water tickling the
back of the throat and other such methods OF
producing vomiting. may be employed. II,
however, the poison cannot DE GOT rlu OF III
this way, a decOction of tlncture OF qululne
may be given with advantage, for tartarIzed
antIm0ny is decOmpOsed by nearly ali bitter
or astTIng gent vegetables which contain tannin
producing an inert tannate OF the protOXlde OF
antlmOny (Which is the base of tartar emetlc
and Jamess Powder. Should no quinine be
at hand strong infusion OF black tea should
be administered, pending the arrival OF
medical man.
Referring to the Bravo case, Knorled0e says
the whole theory of those who suspected Mrs
Bravo OF poisoning her husband was absurd
Mr.. Bravo, II says, probably took poisonous
dose of laudanum, trusting to the tartar
emelc rs a safe and sure emetic and not know
lng that 1t should never be taken in cases of
narcotic poisoning. Narcotic poisons so
diminish the senSibility of the stomach that it
will retain under their action what under other
circumstances il would Immediately reject
Failing to remove the laudanum by dose of
tartar emetic Mr.. Bravo probably repeated the
dose until he had taken a poisonous amount.

UTILIZING THE EARTH'S INTERNAL
HEAT.

Scientific men in Japan are now discussing
the possibility of utilizing the internal heat OF
the earth At a recent meeting OF the Seismo-
logical Society Mr.. Milne read paper in which
he said that the fact that there was an un-
limited supply of energy in the interior of the
earth had been generally overlooked, although
portions of it crop out in countries like Japan,
Iceland and New-Zealand in the form of hot
springs, solfataras volcanoes, etc. He stated
that there is an unlimited supply of water, in
hot springs within radius of 100 miles
around Toxic, and that the heat of these
springs could be converted into an electric
current and transmitted to the town.
