ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A Woman Takes Poison While Out
Pleasure Riding.

Mrs. Mary White, whose place of
residence is not known, nor can it
be ascertained, now lies in the San
ia Rosa hospital, suffering intense
agony, from the effects of a dose Of
poison, taken in a glass OF whisky,
while out driving with a lady
friend.
1t seems that early in the even
ing Mrs. White went out for a
ride with her friend, and the two
engaged quite freely in intoxicating
LIQUORS. She claims that she took
the liquor, but knew not that
it contained poison. She was
suddenly taken ill and was driven
to the Alamo police station, where
she was cared for by DR.. Menger.
From there she was taken to the
Central station in the patrol wagon,
and later removed to the hospital.
The name of Mrs. Whites com.
panion could not be learned. a
reporter for the LIGHT called at
the hospital this morning but the
woman refused to be interviewed,
stating that she did not want the
matter known. Opinions have
been formed by those acquainted
with the circumstances, to the eff
feet that Mrs. White attempted
suicide, and making failure, de-
cided not to confess as to her inten-
tiOnS.

The shah's Highway.

The shah's highway, considered as an
agreeable promenade, or merely as a neces-
sary avenue of approach to great capital,
cannot be considered as a shining success.
Straight away in front OF us as far as eye
can reach, it stretches over level plain
and up slight rise, bounded on one side
by the arrow straight line of iron telegraph
poles. The sky is slightly overcast; a fierce
wind blows in our faces, bringing dense
clouds OF dust, which rise at times to q
great height in the distance, often taking
the form Of waterspouts or Of towering col
umns of smoke. Once enveloped in one
of these travelling duststorms, there is
nothing TO do but hold our heads down,
and with eyes tightly shut ride through it,
emerging on the other side white bearded
and powdered like millers.
Sometimes we try to avoid these encoun-
ters by riding over the rough and broken
ground on one side. There are many wrecks
by the way of what were once stout ships of
the desert, as well as the last remnants of
horses, mules and donkeys, lying where
they gave up the struggle for life. The only
birds in this drear landscape are the ravens,
which hunt in couples and fly up from the
road croaking hoarsely as we approach
There is not even hard bank Of earth or
stone large enough to sit upon when it is
time for lunch, and one can only squat
ignominiously in the dust.-Harper's Mag
aZlne.

A rfonstrous Word.

A paper read before the chemical section
of the British association by Mr.. Bevan
Lean, b. &c., Berkeley fellow of Owens col
lege, is a striking illustration of the man
ner in which the scientists are adding to if
not enriching our language. The subject
treated was Ethyl Btitanetetracarboxyff
Acid and Its Derivatives" and the follow
ing paragraph fairly represents the sesqui-
pedalian style of the paper:
"When sodmalonic ether Is treated with
ethylene bromide, the chief product is ethyl
trimethy ylenedicarboxylate. But at the
same time small quantity of an oil of high
boiling point Is formed. which is ethyl but
anetetracarboxylate. The fact that this
interesting substance is produced in such
small quantities made its further investi-
cation almost a matter Of impossibility
More recently, however. Professor Perkins
has found that the substitution OF ethylene
chloride for the bromide is efrectual in
greatly increasing the yield of ethyl butan-
etetracarbox ylate. When treated with sodi-
um ethyl butanetetracarboxyla forms q
bisodium compound, which reacts readily
with the iodides or chlorides of the alcohol
radicals. For example, when acted on by
methyliodide the reaction takes place,
ethyl dimethylbutanetetracarboxylate be-
ing formed"
And SO on, Mr.. Lean rolling out his caco-
phonous compounds with evident zest till
In final effort lie produces ethyl dibro-
mobutanetetracarbox How Aristo-
phanes would have loved this man!-Pall

ELECTRICITY IN AGRICULTURE.
1t Not Only Improves the Quality But In
creascs the Quantity OF Crops.

creases the Quantity OF Crops
In the report of the minister of agricnl-
ture of Costa Rica occurs the following re-
garding the experiment of applying cleo
tricity as promoter Of the growth of crops.
Electricity has supplanted the horse On
our street railways, steam In our factories,
gas and Oil in our residences and business
houses, and 1t now appears as competitor
to the chemicals and other forms Of artifi-
cial plant food.
The electricity IL applied to the soil as
follows: To trees or poles 10 to 2S meters
high, or higher If possible, Is attached by
means OF insulators thick wire or galvan-
lied iron bar ending In fine copper wires In
the form of n broom. This bar -communi-
Gates, at the level of the ground, with iron
wires buried to depth of 10 to 30 centime-
ters, 50 as not to interfere with the work
ing Of the soil. The distance between the
ground wires Is two meters
The electric action extends to distance
of % meters around the collecting bar.
Hence four collecting bars suffice for one
hectare or 2lS acres. This apparatus may
last 10 years, and will continue giving good
results until the distribution ground wires
get rotten. All experiments demonstrate
that the electric action produces as good
results as could be obtained from q thor
ough manuring of the SOIL The land not
only yields crop 80 per cent larger under
electricity, but the quality is improved
and the maturing Of the crop accelerated.
When both electricity aud manure are
used, the land gives wonderfqh results.
Several theories have been advanced to
explain the favorable effects of electricity
ON the crops when applied to the soil.
It's action may be due to the nitrogen
conveyed to the soil from the decomposi-
tion Of the air; or it may act by producing
perfect distribution of the useful articles
of manure, or by dissolving and reducing
to an assimilable condition the insoluble
portion Of the soil.-Lewiston Journal.

WHAT MORGAN sassy.
Chairman Of the Committee of Foreign
Iieintions and " as Ignorant OF Action.


SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
WASHINGTON, Now 1l.-Senator Nor
gan, chairman of the COMMITTEES on tor
eign relations, was aversc 10 discussing
the subject. owing TO the position he
held, but he finally spoke-as he said,
conservatively--on what seemed to be
the logic of the situation, based upon
indisputable facts:
Before expressing any opinion as TO
what is the attitude OF the United States
on this question, aud how far IL Is Co he
justified" said Mr.. Morgan, II
lister Willis was accredited when he was
sent by this government to the Hawaiian
Islands. After the provisional government
was established there tue president Of the
United States recognized IL as the govern
ment de jure by sending Mr.. Blount
to confer with President Dole. While
Mr.. Blount was there the troops
were ordered back, and the flag of the
United States flying over the barracks
where the troops were stationed was
hauled down. This merely indicated, to
my mind at least. that the bivounc Of the
troops had Leen broken ND and that they
had returned to their quari ers on ship
board. That at was not the withdrawal
OF an intervention on the part Of the
United Stayes. except for the preservation
OF the peace ana the protection OF Amer
lean citizens on the is ands. i never un
derstooa it was the assertion OF sover-
eighty by the United States over tie
islands, and l cannot understand why the
withdrawal 9th troops under such cir
cumstances could he construed as with
drawal of the moral support Of the
United S ates to he government existing
there, unless the United States had In
vaded Hawaii and assumed SOW, reign jur-
isdictiop. which was not the case. The
United States did rot intervene
10 establish a provisional government
in Hawaii. 1t only interv. ned to
preserve The peace aud protect
American citizens. II withdrew tie
troops, leaving the provisional govern
ment in full, pesceable, uninterrupted
possession as the sovereign power
OF those islands. To interfere now
to reinstatc the queen, would, u nder
the circumstances, be simply the re-estab-
lishmeDt cf a monarchy, without any
other excuse than the mere assertion of
its legitimacy as compared with that of
the prov s on al governme IT."
