TIE INDIAN pATuRA SEED.
a Poison That IL often Used by Robbers
TO Overcome Their Victims.

A Poison That IL often Used by Robbers
TO Overcome Their Victims.
1t has been remarked that one of the
greatest objections TO the suppression of
hemp cultivation for smoking purposes
in India is that it would drive the natives
Go the use of more dangerous sedatives.
One of the drugs which the coolie is the
most prone to substitute for his beloved
hemp, when the latter IS not available ~
( the datura seed. For many years it has
been known TO the police and those en-
gagged in medico-loeal examinations that
one OF the favorite methods adopted by
Indian thieves 90 rob their victims has
been tho administering Of datura. The
stupefying effects OF this drug enable
them TO carry on their depredutions, and
at the same time avoid. In most cases, the
fatal results which attend the use of other
poisons.
The symptoms present I'm the individuals
affected were loss OF CONSCIOUSNESS, dila-
tion Of the pupils, picking at the bed
clothes, attempts to grasp imaginary Oh
jects, and from the movements OF their
hands they all appear to be drawing out
threads from the tips Of their fingers.
When taken upon an empty stomach, the
effects of the poison are usually di5corni-
a well nourishcd person half an hour or
more elapscs before it's effects are percep-
tible. The rarcness Of fatal crses in con
nection with the use OF the poison is one
Of the chief fac.l.s IN its selection 10y the
native criminal
The daUra seeds may be gathered al
most anywhere in India, and also easilv
purchased in the bazaars; so 10 Is hardly
10 be wondered ut that such convenient
instrument for the lurthering OF nofarious
designs should be 80 popular among the
Indian criminal classes. IL 10 is desirable
TO render any particular person helpless
for q given time, the administration of the
datura is the main difficulty. and this,
unless servants are absolutely trustworthy,
is not insuparable. The period before CON
sciousnesa is restored after taking a dose
Of the poison varies in different individ-
uals and is dependent very much on the
state OF the health ol the victim at the
time it is administered. Thus in some
cases "a complete recovery took place in
two or three days or less. while iu Others
unc0nsciousne=s has been known to last
as long as a week.
The symptoms exhibited In many cases
resemble those OF alcoholic poisoning or
delirium tremons lu some instances The
poisoned persons act under the belief that
they are following their ordinary occupa-
tions. For example, in one case, q stone
mason's laborcr was under the impression
that ib was his duty to haul up every
thing in his vicinity, not excepting his
master; in another case a groom was seized
with a desire to perform grooming opera
tions upon those with whom he came in
contact, and q third, a goldsmith, seated
himself upon the iloor. intent on following
his usual vOcation.- pittshurg Dispatch.

There ia n legend as old as the Bible

though it ia doubtful II the translations
concerning that remarkable occurrence
are true to the ancient text)-that "Lot's
wife heeing from S0dom) looked back
from behind him and became pillar of
salt" Professor Metzger of the order of St.
Benedict who wrote at about the beginning
Of the eighteenth century, tells us that
"that wonderful salt statue still stands on
the shores of The Dead Sea and must ever
so stand as perpetual memorial OF diso-
bedience." Ghleard. the monk, who vis-
tied the Holy Land in 1922, also mentions
seeing Lots wife and adds that her dog
also a statue Of rock salt, still crouchcs at
her feet. That this is ali myth and legend
