A Practical Geometry Lesson.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
One chilly evening the sitting room
in which my pupils and l sat was
warmed by a CRATE fire. Shaking out
some small live Goals, babe the boys
observe which of them turned black
soonest. They were quick to see that
the smallest did, but they were un-
able to tell why. They were remind
ed of the rule they had committed to
paper, but to no purpose, until 1
broke a large glowing coal into q
score of fragments which became
black almost at once. Then one Of
them cried, "why, smashing that
coal gave it more surfaced" This
young fellow was studying the ele-
ments of astronomy at school, so I
had him give us some account of
how the planets differ from one
another in size, how the moon COM
pares with the earth in mass, and
how vastly larger than of its worlds
is the sun. Explaining to him the
theory of the solar systems fiery
origin. 1 shall not soon forget his
keen delight-in which the others
presently shared-when it burst upon
him that because the moon is much
! smaller than the earth 1t must be
much colder, that, indeed, it is like 3
small cinder compared wirh a large
one. 1t was easy TO advance from
this to understanding why Jupiter,
with eleven times the diameter of the
earth, still CLOVIS family in the sky;
and then to note that the sun pours
out its wealth of heat and light be-
cause the immensely of its bulk has,
comparatively speaking, SO little sur
face to radiate from.

Poisoned by Ptomaines..
ne Chicago Trihnne.

From the Chicago Tribune.
DIR. William n. Hubbard died early
yesterday morning at his residence,
No. 5,039 Jefferson avenue. The cause
of his death was ptomaine poisoning,
of which cases are extremely rare,
and the attendant circumstances are
peculiarly distressing.
About week ago DIR. Hubbard ate
at q restaurant some oysters which
contained the poisonous substance.
The paroxysmal efforts of his system
to rid itself of the poison brought on
telescoping of the intestines. His
physicians-Drs. rockingham, Bill
llngs, Oughton and McArthur-de-
cided Wednesday evening that the
only possible chance to save his lite
was to perform an operation. The
patient, however, was too weak to
rally, and died while still under the
influence of the anesthetic.
Ptomaine poison has only recently
become known to science, and deaths
from it are rare. The name was first
suggested in 1876 by Prof. Semi, an
eminent authority, to designate SUBJ
stances obtained from putrefying or
ganic matter. 1t had been observed
of animal food were partly put
relied were poisonous. Various
theories were advanced to account
for this. Many authorities said that
some elements of mineral poison were
present. Others claimed that the
diseased condition of the animals be-
fore death accounted for 1t.
The true theory of ptomaine poison,
however, Is now known. Recent in
designations have developed the tact
that every animal organism is filed
with microbes. These microbes.
excrete certain particles in proc
ess of decay after death. These ex-
crete are the ptomaines that form the
poisonous element in the animal food.
These ptomaines are most commonly
found in oysters, shell fish, CLAIMS
and other sea animals. Almost all
the recorded cases of poisoning by
ptomaines have been confined to this
species of animal food. In 1885 q
of cases of serious poisoning
from ptomaines occurred in Wilhelms-
haven in consequence of eating mus
sells.
Ptomaines are not entirely confined
to sea animals, however, but have
been found in pork and beef liver.
This poison is especially dangerous
from the fact that its presence is not
necessarily betrayed by any unusual
odor or taste in the food eaten.

American Harvester COMPANY.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-There was organ
lied in this city during the past few days
one Of the largest corporations in it's line in
the world. The charter was filed in Spring
field to-day and the new company will be
known as the American Harvester COM
pany, for the manufacture of harvesting
machinery, with capital stock of S35. COO
600. Among the directors will be CYRUS
H. Mccormick, William Deening, Walter
A. Wood, Lewis Miller, A L. Conger and
A. S. Bushnell.
Colonel Conger, when questioned by an
Associated Press reported this morning
said: The present demoralized condition
OF the harvesting business necessitated the
formation of the new company. MANY
failures have occurred during the past few
years, entailing immense losses. The cost
of materials has been advancing so that it
became necessary either to raise the price
of machinery to farmers, or through econ
omy of produce distribute them more
cheaply constructed. The purpose of this
new organization is to do this. 1t is less to
the interest of the builder of manufacturer
than the farmers themselves that the latter
should obtain binder Irvine at reasonable
prices, and the hope of effecting this object
is one important reason for the formation
of this company. We do not expect to
check competition, but shall possibly carry
on the manufacture of machines at several
different placeSu
