stains on her clothing and toilet articles arose
from this cause. She admitted that on one Oc
casion during Mr.. Maybrick's illness she gave
him white powder in beef tea, reluctantly, and
only after urgent solicitation. The next day, he
said, he appeared the better for it. The cup,
with part of it's contents, she left openly on
the table where it was found, and an analysis
subsequently made of its contents showed the
presence of arsenic. Then followed o ssensati-

and that he forgave her the wrong She had done
him. With her explanation the case was brought
to close. The speech of Sir Charles Russell that
followed was mastery, but after the judges re
view of the case the jury found a verdict of
guilty, and the judge sentenced her to death.
The case is strange one, and from the popular
demonstration in her favor in Liverpool, We'd

nounced against her. The 18th of August is ap

Prophesying Calamity.


In the Scientific american of July appeared a
paragraph in which J. E. Thickton expresses
similar apprehension in respect to drilling the
earth and exhausting the natural gas as is ex-
pressed by the following professors in recent
issue of the Popular Science Monthly.
Professor Joseph F. Jones assumes the earth
to be hollow sphere filed with a gaseous sub
stance, called by us natural gas, and he thinks
that tapping these reservoirs will cause dsas-
trous explosions resulting from the lighted gas
coming in contact with that which is escaping.
He compares the earth to a balloon f1oated and
kept distended by the gas in the interior, which,
if exhausted, will the crust to collapse, af
feet the motion of the earth in it's orbit, it
to lose its place among the heavenly bodies, and
fall in pieces.
Another writer thinks that drilling should be
prohibited by stringent laws. He, too, thinks
there is possibility OF an explosion, though
from another cause. Should such a disaster oc-

legs, and plotting them out forever"
Still another theorist has investigated the gas

and he announces starting discoveries. he us

and that here the gas is stored; that mile be

into the rock floor of the cavern and thinning it.
Eventually the flames will reach the gas, and
terrible explosion will ensue.
