TRADES THAT KILL.
Occupations That Gradually Destroy tho
Lives Of the Men Engaged In Them.

! Occupations That Gradually Destroy the
Lives Of the Men E.asaged In Them.
People are afraid to travel by land or
sea and take ont all sorts of accident
policies, but there are many legitimate
occupations or trades that kill as GER
tainly and steadily as the most i'll reg
ulated steam engine. An old writer
said that human life was the cheapest
thing on earth. Strange to say, says an
English trade journal, you cannot
frighten the workmen who know how
dangerous is their trade, and not even
higher wages will tempt them from
such death traps. Lead, in the form Of
bullets and shot, is deadly, dangerous
thing, but it is also death dealing to all
who use it in their work, as house
painters, gilders, calico printers, type
founders, potters and braziers.
Mercury is foe to lie. These who
make mirrors, barometers or thermom-
eters, who etch or color wool or felt,
will soon feel the effect Of the nitrate
Of mercury in teeth, gums and the It's
sues of the body. Silver kills those who
handle it. and photographers, makers Of
hair dyes and ink and other prepara-
tions ere long turn gray, while dead
~ WEAKNESS subdues them, and soon
they succUmb. Copper enters into the
composition of many articles of every
day life, and too soon those who work
in bronzing and similar decorative proc
esses lose teeth and eyesight and final
~ life. Makers Of wall paper grow pale
and sick from the arsenic in its color
ing, and matchmakers lose strength
and vitality from the excess Of phCs-
phorus used in their business.
Nitric acid is used by engravers, by
etchers in copper, by makers Of gun cot
ton and those who supply our homes
with lovely picture frames. It's fumes
are poison to the human lungs and soon
destroy them completely. Ammonia
kills the soapmakers; workers in guano
grow deaf hydrocyanio acid deals
death to gilders, photographers and pic
ture finishers, while zinc is fatal foe
to calico printers, makers Of optical
glasses and meerschaum pipes,
Mankind is by nature brave, and
very few are deferred from action be-
cause of supposed danger. If the great
builders and engineers Of the world
would stop and ask, How many lives
Will this undertaking COST" it is prob
able that the world would be without
some of the greatest triumphs of mod
ern thought. Everyday life and con-
mon occupations are full Of silent cour-
age, and all around are workers who
die in the harness and are true heroes
without knowing it.

Water Gas,

It is fact of peculiar signif canoe
that, although the manufacture of wa
ter gas for illuminating purpose on
large scale has been subjected to inves-
tigation, experiment and trial for more
than 90 years in Europe, none Of the
large European establishments or COM
paDies has adopted it, 1t appea RS, how
ever, to have been much more success
full in this country than in Eu .ope, this
being accounted for by the int reduction
Of petroleum, which affords cheap
and adequate means of EN- iching it
with illuminants Formerly the illu-
minating power was obtaine q by intro
ducing into the mountainous flame me-
tallic platinum, or by mixin g the water
gas with rich gas obtained from peat,
resin or some other carbont ferrous mate
rial. When it was proposed to supply
the Invalides in Paris wit water gas,
q commission was appointed, consisting
OF the three eminent chemists, Dumas,
Chevreul and Regnault, % investigate
the matter. They found that it contain
ed from so to 40 per cent of carbonic
oxide and reported that it would be
dangerous TO the occupants of the in
stitution to introduce, even in expert
ment, gas obtained from the decompo-
sition of water by the Kirkham process

drogen mixture.

Photographs by Sugar Light.

A scientist has discovered that light
may be produced from sugar. He has
succeeded in taking several photographs
by the light supplied by sugar only.
The sugar was first exposed to q direct
sunlight for two hours and then placed
in dark ROOM. Immediately on being
placed in the darkness the sunlight
stored in the sugar began to glow, faint
ly at first, but quite brightly after few
minutes. After about 20 minutes, dur
ing which time the photographs were
taken, the light began to die away and
gradually went out. The photographs
taken by sugar light are quite distinct,
though not as clear as an ordinary pho
tograph. The scientist who made this
discovery declares that by exposing a
sack of sugar to strong sunlight for two
hours enough light could be procured
from it to illumine small house for
the same period. London Tit-Bits.
