Dhatura Poisoning in India.

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 to
the use of more dangerous soda
tives. One of the drugs which the
cOolie is most prone to substitute
for his beloved hemp, when the
latter is not available, is the dha-
tura root. For many years it has
been known to the police and
these engaged in medicO-legal eX-
aminatiOns that one of the favor
ite methods adopted by Indian
thieves to rob their victims has
been the administering of dhatu-
IA. The Supplying effects of this
drug enable them to carry on their
depredations, and at the same
time to avoid, in most cases,
the fatal results which always
attend the use of other poi
sons. The symptoms present in
the individuals affected We're loss
of consciousness, dilation of the
pupils, picking at the bed-clOthes,
attempts to grasp imaginary OBJ
jects, and from the movements OF
their hands they all appeared to
be drawing out threads from the
tips of their fingers. When taken
upon an empty stomach the effects
of the poison are usually discer-
nible within ten minutes, but in
the case of a well-nourished person
half an hour or more elapses be-
fore its effects are percept-
IDLE. The rareness of fatal cases
in connection with the use of this
poison is one of the chief factors in
its selection by the native crimi-
nails. The dhatura seeds may be
gathered almost anywhere in In
dia, and are also easily purchased
in the baZaars, so it is hardly to
be wondered at that such a cOnve-
nient instrument for the further
ing of nefariOus designs should be
so popular among the Indian cri-
minal classes. fit is the desire to
render any particular person help |
less for given time, the admins |
tratiOn of the dhatura is the main
difficulty, and this, unless servants
are absolutely trust worthy, is not
The period before con-
seriousness is restored after taking
a dose of the poison varies in
different individuals, and is de-
pendent also very much on the
state of health of the victim at the
time it is administered. Thus, in
some cases, a complete recovery
takes place in two or three days or
less, while in others unconscious
ness has been known to last as long
as a week. The symptoms exhibited
in many cases resemble those
of alcoholic poisoning or
delirum tremens. In some in
stances the poisoned persons act
under the belief that they are fol-
lowing their ordinary occupations. |
For example, in one case a stone
labOrer was under the i'm
preston that it was his duty to |
haul up everything in his vicinity, |
not excepting his master; in an
other a groom was seized with a |
desire to perform grooming opera
tiOns on all those with whom he |
came in contact; and a third, a
seated himself on the |
floor intent on following his usual
vocation.

to church or charity, IL is yet a fact thai
the formula OF Thanks; / don't smoke"
is far more common with US than with
those who preceded us In the occupa-
tion OF American soil,
In the exploration OF many OF the re-
mains OF the American aborigines, I
have found the pipe 10 be one OF the
most widely distributed and frequently
occurring relics OF those old times aud
races. Through the low Indian burial
mounds OF the far east. through the
gigantic tumulI Of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippl valleys, through the ancient
caves aud cemeteries Of the West
Indies, and ia all the majestic
ruins OF Aztec architecture IN our
southwestern territories, and In
Mexico l have rarely failed to find the
pipe among the worldly effects which
were habitually buried with the dead.
That smoking played an important part
In the domestic and social life OF tho
more recent IIdian tribes is well known.
That 10 had much to do with the COM
fort and enjoyment OF the more ancient
races we may well suppose from the
fact that the greatest Of care was taken
In making aud ornamenting their pipes.
In many cases their decoration was re-
ally elaborate.
A bamboo pipe used by the natives OF
the West Indies four or five centuries
ago is quite unique. II was their Gus
tom to lay the Rreen leaves OF tobacco
upon a bed OF live Goals. producing .
thick 'spudge." The forked end Of the
pipe was then placed 10 the n~ostrils and
the other end in the dense cloud OF
smoke. which was directly inhaled. The

She was a little woman as to height,
but great in breadth, and her face was
very ruddy. So were her locks, and
her general appearance Of warmth was
intensified by the fire Of determination
that glowed in her eyes. Every man in
the cabin, with one exception, looked
I'd when her shrill voice broke the
silence. They all glanced at her and at
the weeping Tootsy with an expression
Of great thankiulness that they were
not Charles. The one man who did not
glance up blushed until his face rivaled
hers for color, but she sat rigid.
"I tell you TO get out a d~oughnut,"
said the woman with ominous emphasis.

other passengers held their breath.

rushed like a whirlwind across the

The Lead Pencil.

Few persons are aware Of the dIficul.
ties that are surrounded In, the M
facture OF the common lead pencil. In
the first place the graphite OF which 10
is made, Is rarely found sufficiently
homogeneous TO allow pencil lead 10 be
cut from II. so It Is always ground 70
powder and then pressed into blocks.
The great difficulty was 10 press the
blocks until tho graphite was hard
enough TO use, and for many PEARS ev-
cry effort 10 this direction was defeated
By the crumbIy nature OF the material.
Finally q device was completed that
exhausted the air, after which the
blocks were again pressed, and when
this was done the material was found
TO be as hard as when taken from the
quarry. But thousands upon thousands
OF dollars were spent In experiments
before the result was reached.
