Ability to Detect Color In Microsoopicai
and Other Tosts.
The case OF the man 'Frenchy"
raised a rather curious point regard
ing the value of medico- chemical tes-
timony. says the New York Recorder.
1t Is known fact that color blindness
has become SO common that no rail-
road or steamship company will en-

pending upon his powers OF discern

inability to distinguish certain colors
to the inability to distinguish their
shades.

In. A Number OF chemical tests for
poisons depend upon the perfect eye

OF chemistry and his experience. Yet
expert chemists operating on the same
samples in what is known as color
metric analysis. seldom. II ever. agree
in quantitative determination. The
estimation OF copper commercially is
made by discoloring solution OF a
known weight OF pure copper dissolved
in nitric acid. to which an excess OF
ammonia has been added. with a solu-
ton OF cyanide of potassium. When
the blue disappears the quantity OF
cyanide used is noted and the un-
known solution Is treated in the same
manner until it. too, is discolored.
The quantity of cyanide is again noted
and then a simple sum in proportion
tells how much copper is contained in
the latter.
No two chemists, according to SUIT

branch OF chemistry. except by chance.
ever agree as to exactly when the blue
disappears, and this is due TO the i'm
perfection OF human eyesight. The
same error is committed wherever
color tests which demand nice dis
tinction of tints arise.
Taylor on Poisons" which is a
standard work among physicians both
here and in England, gives number
of tests which depend altogether upon
the perfect eyesight Of the observer.
Among them is Marsh's test 10 distin-
guish arsenic from anthony by the
production of the arsenical mirror. A
man with poor eyesight might not be
able TO detect the mirror at all.

that he knew OF no patent medicine that
had such demand upon il, or one that had
done all that was promised for it. On that
day ne had sold no less than forty boxes OF
the pills. and since he received the first in

boxes. He told OF several cases of great
relief and cure that had come under his

Which one is it?
Sometimes, it may be matter

there's no room for doubt. It's a

tensive. We cannot understand why

Touraine are not overdrawn. Here in

bot of Turpenay. The trouble is not
exclusively confined to church people,
as lightning is as liable to strike the

GRAND RALLY.

The old adage "Political misery
loves strange bedfellows," was ex-
empliiied last Wednesday evening
when old Jimmy SkidmOrc-wh0se
sole claim to distinction rests on the
fact that he is the father of Andy
and Bob McGregor-who has also ris-
,en 10 eminence as the sole aud only
father of Frank R.-met IN actual
combat, or rather a pot-house discus
sion of the sub-trcasury bill at the city
hall. An Alliance meeting or gather
ing had been advertised, but when
they were all gathered IN there was
only McAboy, Miks, Harris, Ellis and
the speaker of the faithful, and about
fourteen old party men IN the back
ground, led by Bob McGregor, Ora
ham Horror. Rubc Turner and John
Hamilton. Uncle Jimmy, or "Skid,
as Dob called him, led of in the debate
with some strong arguments In favor
of the sub-treasury bill and was max
ing great Roadway when Bob asked
him how the Peoples party stood on
pensions? This seemed to puzzle the
speaker, hut he replied by stating that
forty million people were worth two
millions apiece aud that there was in
circulation less than $40 per capita,
with which sixty millions Of the toiling
masses were obliged 10 content them
selves. Clarence Atkinson asked what
had become Of The Peoples party plat
form? "The national banks, said the
speaker 'receive interest on their
bonds aud pay no taxes on their cur
rency, thus throwing five million
tramps out of employment"
Mr.. Daniels asked how the Peoples
party stood on prohibition, or what
were their principles or platform.
"The Peoples party have no princi-
pies or platform" said the speaker, "Or
rather we leave that question to the
people. l am Prohibitionist in the

Of prohibition, that is, l must look
over my notes on this subject, but un-
less the railroads are willing TO carry
