THE VAUGHAN THEORY.
Something. About Tyrotoxicon, the Poison
Developed In Milk.

Developed In Milk.
About a year ago, DR.. Victor G.
Vaughan, of the University of Mich
igan, succeeded in isolating from some
samples of cheese that had produced
alarming symptoms in many persons,
highly poisonous ptomaine, which he
named tyrotoxicon Cheese poison).
His knowledge has been gained
largely through experiments upon HIM
self and some of his more enthusiastic
students. He found that the same
symptoms were produced by the iso-
lated poison as had been observed in
those who had partaken of the affected
cheese. They consisted principally of
dryness and construction of the fauces,
nausea, retching, vomiting and purging,
Although in several cases the illness
was very severe, all finally recovered.
Further Investigations have led to
the discovery that tyrotoxicon may be
developed in milk, and is probably re-
sponsible for the several cases of poison
Gus ice cream that have recently
puzzled the medical authorities. 1t is
also believed to have an intimate con-
nection with cholera infantum and kin
dred diseases, q view that is sustained
by the severity of its effects upon young
animals.
1t was found by DR.. Vaughan that
milk which was presumably normal
when first obtained, yielded crystals of
the poison after long standing in a
tightly closed bottle.
A sample of ice cream which had
made eighteen persons quite i'll was
also examined by the same method, and
the aqueous solution of the tyrotoxicon
was given to q cat. The effect was
distinctly noticeable in ten minutes,
when the animal began to vomit and
show other characteristic symptoms.
There seems little doubt that the poi
sonous element in the cream was due
to the presence of the alkaloid.
DR.. Vaughan is of the opinion that
! the production of the poison is due
directly or indirectly to the growth of
some micro-organism.
The presence of butyric acid has
been demonstrated in the specimens of
cheese, milk and cream from which
the poison was obtained, and it has
| been suggested that the generation of
| the tyrotoxicon was the result of a
| butyric acid fermentation. 1t is known
that the action of the butyric acid on
ammonia produces an alkaloid known
as coniine, and it is quite possible that
tyrotoxicon may be formed by the
action Cf decomposing heterogeneous sub
stances on butyric or other fatty acid.
From its physiological effects, it has
been inferred that the alkaloid con-
tains two poisons. Scientific american.

THE SEISMOGRApH.
An Ingenious Application of Simple Means
for the Registration of EARTHQUAKES.

An Ingenious Application of Simple Means
for the Registration of Earthquakes.
The instrument which is known as
a seismograph is very ingenious appli-
cation Of simple means for the purpose
desired. The best earthquake observa-
tory in the world is at Toxic, where
Prof. j. A. Ewing's seismographs for
automatically registering movements
of the ground during earthquakes,
originally destined for this observatory,
have been in use 1880.
The horizontal pendulum seismo-
graph records two rectangular hori-
zontal components of each successive
displacement of the ground, in con-
junction with the time, on revolving
plate of smoked glass. Two horizontal
pendulums, pivoted on the same base
by sharp steel points in sapphire sock
cts, furnish two steady points, with
respect to north-south and east-west
motion respectively. The pendulums
are furnished with an adjustment by
which they are put in nearly neutral
equilibrium, and stand at right angles
to each other. The motion is multi
piled and recorded by two pointers
projecting from the pendulum, and so
set that they trace, with slight friction,
a pair of magnified records of the
earth s horizontal motion, side by side
on the smoked-glass plate. A clock,
the speed of which is controlled by
balanced centrifugal governor, drives
the plate at uniform speed. The
clock may be arranged to run contin-
uously, but more generally it is
started by means of an electro-mag-
netic detent, which acts whenever an
electric circuit is closed by the small
Palinieri seismoscope-a short pendu-
lum, ending in platinum point which
hangs just over a depression in cup
of mercury, and ready when the slight
est disturbance occurs, to make con-
tact by touching the edge of the de-
preston. This happens during the
preliminary tremors of the earthquake,
and causes the plate to begin revolving
before the principal motions are felt
record is then traced in the form of
two undulating lines, which may ex-
tend without confusion throughout two
or three revolutions of the plate. The
record is preserved by vanishing the
plate and using it as a negative to print
photographs. Special appliance is pro-
vided for the double purpose of show
ing the speed of the plate during the
motion and of determining the hour
and minute at which the earthquake
occurred. The vertical component of
the earth's motion is separately re-
corded on the same revolving plate of
smoked glass by an instrument in
which massive bar is pivoted on
horizontal line. A light aluminium
lever multiplies the motion and carries
a jointed index, which traces the record
on the plate.
The seismographs are in use at the
University of Toxic, Japan; the Mete-
geological Observatory at Toxic; the
Geographical Bureau at Manila; the
Ben Nevis Observatory and the Lick
Observatory in California. = Boston
