ious poisons is simply criminal. Slow
ammonia poisoning produces diseases
of the stomach and is particularly in.
furious to the complexion. The pres.
ence Of ammonia in a baking powder,

TO DETECT AMMONIA.
Mix one heaping teaspoonful OF
baking powder with II teaspoonful
OF water in a tin cup; boil thoroughly
for Il few moments stir to prevent
burning and If ammonia is present
you can smell it in the rising steam,
or place a can OF the suspected pow.

minute or two then take off the
cover and smell.
TO DETECT ALUM.
Alum powder can be tested by put.
ting q couple OF teaspoonfuls OF the
powder in q glass OF cold water. If no

mering, takes place, condemn the
goods and return them at once.

A Terrific Explosion.

On Thursday morning, the 23rd in
slant, 265 tons OF gun powder, stored
IN a magazine at PoZze Pantalec, near
Rome, exploded, spreading terror and
dismay on all sides.
People rushed afrrighted from their
homes into the streets, houses rocked,
pictures fell from the walls, thousands
of panes of glass were broken every
where, crockery was shattered, furni-
ture overturned, chimneys crashed
down upon the roofs, and in some in
stances toppled Over into the streets
below. The cupcla of the Houses Of
Parliament immediately after the ex-
plosion shook violently aud then col
lapsed With crash, which added still
further to the feeling of terror. The
scenes in the streets and in the houses
after the fearful explosion have pos
sibly never before been equalled
during the history of modern Rome.
The Vatican shook with the rest of
the Rome buildings when the force of
the explosion was felt, and several
famous historical stained glass win
dows of old buildings were shattered.
The full amount of the damage is not
known at present, but the loss is very
severe. The interior of many old
palaces and churches have suffered to
d great extent. The official report
made in the Chamber of Deputies
says that seven persons were killed,
forty eight injured at the scene of the
explosion and two hundred persons in
the city slightly hurt. The explosion
was purely accidental, and the rumors
that it was of anarchist origin are
without foundation.
