During the present season there have
occurred several Instances of violent
poisoning from ice cream The symptoms
were those of irritant poisoning combined
with certain nervous effects, such as dir
illness, double vision, headache, great
muscular weakness and sense OF weari-
ness. They are precisely the same as
those appearing in cheese-poisoning. In
both forms the milk appears to have I'M
dergone some peculiar change, probably
due to the work of a special microbe. DR..
Vaughan, Of Ann Arbor. Mich, has in
vestigated some cheese That had pr reduced
poisoning, and from that as well as from
the deadly ice cream Of the Michigan
cases this year, he has succeeded in ex-
tracing q crystalline poison, not before
described, which produced similar eff
fects upon animals upon which he made
experiments. The symptoms were like
those produced by arsenic, but the chemi-
cal examination showed that substance
not present. Tbs gallant but economical
young man has now a valid objection to
entering an ice cream saloon, and this
pointer" may be of value to him. Ordi-
nary putrefaction does not develop this
poison in cheese, hence there must be
some special cause at work In the In
stances where poisoning occurs from max
ing use of 1t.
Fish and sausages sometimes produce
similar poisonous effects. In these in
stances, also. there must be q peculiar
cause at work, and this is without doubt
some form Of microbe. Some epidemics
caused in this way have proved very fatal
The only treatment thus far known Il to
clear out the stomach and digestive tract

One of the charms of wearing a gem
is a consciousness Of its indestructibility,
its permanency, and, if one may say SO,
of its personality-the mystery Of ma
lures methods in its slow capitalization
in dark telluric depths, of the glance of
imprisoned powers shut up within its
walls, a remembrance Of the vague old
idea of their potency-all this and more,
to many minds, has as much force as
the inherent beauty of the thing itself.
Who knows what spirit, what one of the
genii, what enthusiastically commanded
sprite, is this shut up in the fiery depths
of the ruby, with its purple-blue corners,
of the p~igeon-blood tinge, in the
heavenly color and brilliancy Of the sap
phire. in the sea-green water depths of
emerald or beryl? 10 ODDS im d.nri d.
There is always a fascination in its
sparkle, both when we wear it and see
another wear it, or when we lift it from
its dark hiding place in the casket where
we keep it, as it looks up at us with its
lidless, deathless glance of beauty. But
a bit of glass, however p~rettily colored!
what spirit is there In that. made by
a man, according to a formula7what
spell can the most vivid imagination can
jure up in its ray-what mystery turks
in a thing that any clown can put to-
gether? Nothing of the p~oetical or ro-
mantle attaches to the wearing of the

of show and glitter and ostentation enter
into that.-Harper's Bazaar.

From the pot-room, one logically goes
to the blowing room, where the melted
glass is put into shape. This room al
ways strikes us as a miniature Hades.
only the spirits fitting about are the
grimy glass blowers and their small boy
assistants. These men earn their money,
especially in midsummer heat. They
can discount the bees in their hive max
ing. and their sleight Of hand and eye in
shaping the molten mass into a lamp

wood and iron, is something that out
matches the skill OF the whole brute Gre
alton. The race who can blow glass, as
at Sandwich, II 1t has no God to worship

work SO swift, unguided except by hand

The cutting shop. where the glass is
ground and cut in ornament. puts us on
noting that glass making follows, like
almost everything else, the fashion. In
the old days flint glass adorned with
flowers or other simple designs from ma

ton. The whole dish is fretted over

factory reflects the public taste in glass,

hardly more difference between a steel
engraving of AIRY Scholars Dante n

there is between Sandwich glass OF old

The object glass of the great Lick telescope
is now practically completed and only awaits
examination and approval by the experts who
are to be appointed by the Lick trustees to
test it. AS all our readers probably know,
this enormous lens, by far the largest ever
made, is thirty.sY inches in diameter, and
has focal length of fifty-seven feet. 1t is
composed of two lenses, of which the front
one (outside) is an equiconvex lens OF crown
glass, while the other is concave lens OF
flint glass; one side of this-tlIe one next the
eyes very slightly concave, in fact almost
fiat; the other, next the crown glass lens, is
considerably concave, the curvature being
somewhat deeper than that of the crown
glass surfaces. The inner surfaces Of the two
lenses are separated by a clear air space OF
about six and a half inches, and there are
perforations in the steel cell which allow
free circulation of air between them. The
glass disks were made by Fell, of Paris, and
they have been figured and worked by our
own Clarl;s in their modest but famous estab-
lishment in Cambridgeport. The object glass
weighs 80 pounds.-Popuar Science News
