swiftest vessel i'm the world.

Probably the swiftest vessel in the world
has recently been built in France. This
extraordinary craft is the seagoing torpedo
vessel constructed in Havre by the well
known house Of Augustin Normand, the
contract requiring that it should maintain u
speed of from twenty-ninc to thirty knots
for an hour under usual steam. At it's trial
trip, it seems, this vessel, tie Forban, ran
a distance of more than thirty-one knots
in an hour, this being equivalent to about
tliirty-five miles, probably the greatest dis
tance ever covered by a seagoing SLIP in
sixty minutes, powerful engines being neces.
sary, Of course, TO drive the vessel through
the water at such rapid rate. On this
score, therefore. the statement is not sur
prising that, although the displacement of
the crafts only about so tons, 1t carriesen-
gipes of Z, $50 horse power.

POISON IN CIGARETTES

Although arsenic is Il Useful drug, and in
addition to being efficacious in the treat
ment OF many diseases, is reputed TO u,.
OF value as means OF improving the COM
pieSion, 1t is not a substance which ~
adapted for everyday consumption, es-
pccially In large quantities. The announce
mcnt that 1t is employed in the colored
wrappers in which cigarettes are sold will
hardly be received with feelings of Salts
faclon by those who are in the habit Of
indulging in this particular form of sInok-
ing. That arsenic is contained in wall
papers, in the bindings of our books. in
advertisement cards and In many articles
In daily domestic use is well known, but
that 1t should contaminate our cigarettes
Is a much more serious matter. We have
long been accustomed to receive Il colored
photograph or Some similar inconsidcrate
triflc with our purchases, but that in addi-
tion we should be presented with an ap-
preciable quantity OF an active poison
certainly exceeds our expectations
1t is true that the arsenic is confined
to the case of coloreI wrapper but it has
been found experimentally that it readily
rubs off on the fingers. especially when
moist, and that from them IL is equally
readily conveyed To the cigarettes them
selves. Arsenic, when Inhaled in even
small quantities. gives rise 20 II chronic
cough, splitting of blood, progressive loss
of flesh, aud other symptoms which We
are accustomed to associate with the early
stages OF consumption. DIR. Murren,
as the result of the examination of a large
number OF specimens, both of cigarettes
and tobacco, reports that arsenic is present
in more than Il third OF the brands In com
mon use. Itis by no means confined to the
cheaper specimens, but Is met with even in
