Poisonous Dyes.
[From the N. Y. Times.]

NJ. Grondhomme, who is the superin-
tendent of one of the largest laboratories
in France, has just published volume
Of notes as to the alleged poisonous
properties of aDiline dyes now SO exten-
sively used in the manufacture of socks,
stockings, and other fabrics worn in
contact with the cutaneous surface.
Such dyes are especially used in the
fancy fabrics, sold for the wear of chill
dren from four to ten years of age, and
in the blues and various red shades of
gentlemen's socks. M. Grondhomme
declares that the cases of poisoning
recorded by medical men as due to these
dyes are really traceable to the arsenious
acid used in the preparation of the COL
ors, not to the coloring matter itself.
The fumes. of q few of The dyes arising
from the manipulation OF petroleum pro-
duce difficulty of respiration when per-
sistently inhaled. This is" true of naph-
tholin, for example. Others are per-
fectly neutral and inert in their effects,
and possess no toxic potency whatever,
and to this category belongs aniline and
its immediate relatives. The facts dis
closed by NJ. Grondhomme are worth
knowing; first, because they show that
such cases are to he treated as rule as
cases Of arsenical poisoning, and, second
ly, because they rescue valuable COL
oriDg matter from false imputat,on
under which it has labored for manv
years. He has not, however, pointed
out any mode of eliminating the arse
mic, and thus, while relieving these COL
ors themselves, uniquely considered,
from the blame heretofore associated
with them. he leaves their practical use
as perilous as ever.

WOMEN AND PROPERTY.

Mr.. Charles Reade, the novelist, ha.
most fiercely assailed the English laws
relating to the property of women, and
1t IS probable that the married woman's
property bill, which passed the English
parliament August IA, is to a great ex.
tent attributable to his writings. For.
merry all but the aristocratic married
women of England were almost without
property rights, husbands having arbi.
trary control of the estates of their
wives. Hereafter, "every woman mar
rled before the commencement of
this act shall be entitled to have and to
hold and to dispose of in manner afore-
said as her separate property, all real
and personal property, her title to which,
whether vested or contingent. and
whether in possession, reversion or re-
mainder, shall accrue after the COM
mencement of this act, including any
wages, earnings, money, and property so
gained or acquired by her as aforesaid. -
Every married woman will now be able
to manage her separate property, and
incur liability to its extent, exactly as if
she were femme sole, but it is pro-
vided that "no criminal proceedings
shall be taken by any wife against her
husband by virtue of this act while they
are living together. The Importance
OF the new law is indicated by the Lon
don Times when it says that " it may in
the end pulverize some ideas which have
been at the basis Of English life.
Measures which affect the family econo-
my are apt to be 'epoch making,' and
probably when the most talked-of bills
of the session are clean forgotten, this
obscure measure may be bearing fruit. :"

THE COST OF WAR.

After Wolseley with fire and sword
must come the tax-gatherer with pen
and ink, and of the two plaques the lat
ter will surely be the worse, says the
New York Times. The butchers bill -
will be, for the British, small one, not
comparable with the campaigns in Af-
ghanistan, where SO officers and 1924
men we're killed, or in Zulu land, where
the corresponding figures were So and
1928. What the savages' loss was can
not be stated as to these two wars, but
we have been told by English sources
that 1900 Egyptians were killed in a
single battle. As to the cost there are
some significant hints. Between August
20 and September the sum earned by
the Suez Canal was e96, 900 for the pas
sage OF transports. Such of these boats
as were chartered cost pound ton a
day, or about $4,000 day for each of
such boats as were chartered from the
National Line, whose ships are rather
favorites with the admiralty. Then in a
single fort which was stormed there were
destroyed e4O, 900 worth of ammunition
and stores. In this respect the war will
be no mean competitor of the Afghan
and Zulu campaigns, WHICH cost,
respectively, 919, 100000 and 4,00O,-
900, These are considerable figures,
but to satisfy the American love for the
biggest things, it is necessary to go to
the Franco-G German war, which cost 49,
939, 600, ,000f., or to our war of the rebel
lion, which cost in direct expenditure
$6, 1876, 1872, 500, and the charges for ill.,
terest and pensions are still continuing
items. The French campaign in Tunis
cost 592, ,342, ,045f., an amount frightful
in comparison with the damages by the
Kroumirs, which were the ostensible
cause of the conflict, and which we're
assessed at 178, ,954f. Our own little
wars have been cheap ones. Even the
Sioux war of 1876 cost under 81. 900. 900.
and the total direct cost of all our Indian
wars for ten years was SIS. .O59. 821.

Tenacious Of Life.

It is ordinarily supposed that wound
in the heart is Immediately fatal: but
after Tom Adams. a prominent min
ing operator of Wood River, o. T. y,
had received alarge-sized bullet through
that organ from pistol in the hands of
Frank Brown, he knocked his adversary
down and beat him severely. Third
parties finally interfering, Adams
walked off to a drug store, where he
suddenly fell dead. It was found that
the bullet completely pierced his heart.
His murder is described as an unusually
sad occurrence for one of that kind, be-
cause he had closed q large mining tran
saction, and with the profits was about
to start to Chicago to Chicago to meet

N1NETY-NINE-YEAR LEASES.

In settling up this vast continent, it is
strange that men are so eager to obtain
large tracts Of land, which they cannot
cultivate, when they could grow rich on
small farms, and promote the prosperity
Of the country as we'll as their own, so
simply and so abundantly. A learned
writer on the different Systems of land
tenure ar CUES that we, in America, are
hurting ourselves very severely by dis
posing of Our vast ranges OF territory in
the way which prevails at present, and
that as the dominion of all estates be-
longs legally to The state, so it would be
better to lease them on ninety -nine-year
terms than to sell them outright.
DR.. Emile Laveleye OF Liege, in Bel
GUM, in an article contributed to the
Agricultural Review. contends that:
"Authorities on legal matters, and
among them Blackstone, have always al.
mitted that the dominion of all estates
belonged to the state. In .feudal times,
all fiefs were concessions from the
sovereign. Louis XIV, in his instruc-
tions to his son, considers himself as
possessed of chief authority over the es-
tates of his realm. Herbert Spencer
proves very clearly that land, essential
as it is to the very existence of man,
cannot be monopolized by few indi-
viduals, or the result would be q univer-
sal system of slavery. The recognition
of the supreme sovereignty of the state
should induce the contribution to that
source of all laugmentationsin in value which
are not brought about by the possessors,
but are the consequences of national
progress.
He continues: I'm addition to this.
in. new countries like America, where
the state still possesses vast ranges of ter
ritory, it is not wise to dispose of them
entirely in the way it is now doing. It
would be better to let them on lease for
ninety-nine years, as is constantly done
in England. For the purchase such
lease would be almost equal to the free
hold: All the railways Of our conti-
nent are but lease-hold property, with
eighty or ninety years to run. Agricul-
tural progress would be every bit as
rapid, and at the end of the century the
state, coming into 1e-possession of all
her lands, would be enabled to suppress
q very large proportion Of the taxes"
: This system obtains very largely in
London, where crown lands, the leases
iof which are purchased for ninety-nine
years, are constantly falling in or revert
ing to the crown. The Regents Park,
for instance, in London, lie all crown
land, and will revert to the crown some-
where about the year 1903, when new
houses may possibly be built, if neces-
Isary, and new leases granted for another

WantOn BlOOdshetl.

Particulars have been received of highly
sensational duel between cowboys in Colorado,
as the story goes: Geo. Howard, owner of q
herd of 5000 cattle, and John Keely, owner of
q herd of 1000, were driving i'll company from
Arizona. North of Trinidad, Co.., on the
plains, the two herds were to separate, Howard
to take the old Santa Fe trial to Kansas City,
KeeIy to drive north to Denver. On the route
accidental exchanges had been made and How-
ard insisted on having his stock out, but was
unwilling to deliver Keely's. and it was finally
agreed to settle the matter by battle between
six picked men of each party. Accordingly
twelve men arranged themselves on horseback,
the two sides fifty feet apart, and at a signal
from their employers the fight was to begin.
At the first NE four men were instantly killed.
Geo. Lester of Keely's party was shot through
the breast, one of Howard's men fell with
ball through his forehead and two others of
the same party were shot through the heart.
Dismayed, the Howard party with the excep-
ton of their employer, fed to their camp.
Reely then rode up to Howard and proposed
that they should fight it out. Howard de-
clined, saying that he understood the matter
to be settled according to the terms Of battle
made beforehand. This settled the matter, all
equitable change Of the mixed cattle was then
made, the dead were buried by the other men
of both herds and the drovers and those in
charge separated for their different routes.

period Of ninety-nine years. It will be
easily understood that property which
reverts to the crown is worth less to the
tenant every year as the lease grows
shorter, but still, as the author of the
article before us says, "To favor the
progress of agriculture hereditary or
very long leases approach nearer to
ownership in proportion as the tenure
is more surely guaranteed, and for a
longer term"
Arthur Young says that one years
lease will lead farmer to ruin the best
land in the world. The misery of the
Irish and their detestable farming are
proof of this. To complete he'system
Of small landed property, the reconsti-
tuition Of the state sovereign dominion
must be added.
"Look, says DR.. Laveleye, cat this
moment, what a difference between the
farmer of England and the peasant-pro-
prietor of France. The first has to pay
wages to his workmen, interest on the
capital and rent to the landlord; and,
as just now the prices OF wheat are de-
pressed by American competition, farm
ing is for him losing trade. By and
by he will let the land remain unculti-
waited. The peasant.proprietor of
France, with his ten or fifteen acres, has
nothing to pay to anybody. He lives on
his land and from bis land. He sells
some wine, poultry, eggs and vegeta-
bles, which fetch always good prices;
and with what he gets he buys what he
cannot produce himself-his cloth, shoes,
furniture and rural instrum ents, at long
intervals. He is free man, because
proprietor. He has nothing to fear from
American competition, nor from the fall
ofprices. That is the reason why farm
ing is drifting to bankruptcy in Eng
land, and is going on pretty well in
France" There is great deal in this
last paragraph which We can take to:our-
selves. If we raise our own chickens,
fruits, eggs, wheat and vegetables, we,
too, are independent of exports and i'm
ports, and the system of small farms and
99-year leases would work admirably
here, both for state governments and the
tillers of the soil.

THE ENGINE OF THE FUTURE,

In his address at the recent opening of
the British Association DR.. Carl Siemens,
it's president, pointed out the probable
vast future of the gas engine. Instead
OF steam this engine is worked by COM
bustible mixture of air and hydro.car-
bon. In the condensing steam engine
tho waste Of heat is very great. Adding
to the heat lost by imperfect com bustion
OF coal, that carried away in the Chin
ney and that communicated to the con-
densiog water, the losses by friction and
radiation in the engine, the best steam
engine yet constructed does not yield in
mechanical effect more than one seventh
of the heat energy residing in the fuel
consumed. In the gas engine redac.
tion from the theoretical efficiency must
be made on account of the serious loss of
heat by absorption in the working cylin-
der, which has to be cooled arti6cially
down to point at which fabrication is
possible. But after allowing for this,
together with frictional and other loss,
the actual efficiency is reduced only to
one-fourth. "It follows from these con-
siderations," he says, "that the gas or
caloric engine combines the conditions
most favorable to the attainment of max
imum results, and it may reasonably be
supposed that the difficulties still in the
way Of their application on large scale
will gradually be removed" In his
view, before many years steamships and
factories will be run by engines with a
fuel consumption not exceeding one
pound per effective horse power per
hour. The advent of such engines will
solve the problem of rapid transit on the
ocean: and mark, as DR.. Siemens says,
new era of material progress at leas+
equal to that inaugurated by steam IN
the early part of our century. In the
case of ocean transit it seems, however,
most probable that the xtgreatadvance
will be in the construction of ships which
can both avail themselves fully of an ar
tiicial power more economical than
steam and also utilize the maximum
motive power of the winds.
