sWAsHINaIoN, Nov. THE control Of
the United States senate will be deter

legislatures which will in turn elect

the senate is Is follows: Republicans

no one party and it has proved fruitful
source Of doubt in legislation influenced
By party lines.
The terms OF 80 of the present sena-
tors are about to expire and in most Of
these cases the legislatures chosen Tues
day will elect successors. In seven cases,
however, legislatures already have been
chosen and senators elected. namely:

opinion prevails that the anomalous con-

Thriving on Strychnine.

A correspondent of Nature recently
noted this singular fact in connection
with strychnia: Some wheat which
had been poisoned by soaking in solu-
ton of strychnine, and which was in
tended for killing sparrows, after hay
ing been kept for some time in card
board boxes was found to have become
infested with weevils. On examination
1t was found that the boxes were full
of weesiIs and their excrement and the
wheat was more than half eaten. Strych-
nine was found to be present in the
wheat. and in apparently still larger
proportion in the excrement OF the
weevils, go that it had evidently passed
through the digestive apparatus un-
changed. When so little as from half
TO tbree-fourths of grain of the aka
loid is sufficient TO kill strong man,
the difference between the role played
by the alkaloid becomes very striking.

Some idea of the extent to which
what is commonly known as built up
timber is now being used in the various
industries as factor or component may
be obtained from the statement that in
ventors have We'd with each other in
their methods of reducing in this way
the weight of wooden articles in the
wide range Of trade and commerce
Following this plan, according to the
New York Sun, packing cases and
trunks are manufactured in immense
quantities out of the built up boards.
Ordinary pine, spruce, maple, birch,
ash or oak is used for this purpose, the
thin veneers being cut out by machinery
and then glued together in cross sec
tons A built up board made of pine
or spruce veneers is thus made more
durable as we'll as much lighter than a
solid board Of any of the hard woods,
and as these built up boards are also not
nearly as thick as those required for
similar work, this, of course. is a dis
tinct gain made in the relative bulk of
the material used. Trunks and packing
cases made according to this system are
pronounced not only exceptionally
strong and durable. but with the lasting
qualities Of oak or ash they also have
the lightness of soft pine or spruce.

ry-s.rht and Electric Light.

Among the phases of modern scien-
tific methods calling for special study
is the deprecated eyesight in the case
of sailors due TO the brilliant electric
lights used on shipboard. Gray and
blne eyes~-ssos teses heavily Charged
with pig.E eDts, are found to be the most
subject to injury. Resort is bad by those
working tina searchlights to the wearing
of dark hlre glasses. These, however.
while tending to mitigate the intensity
Of the light. fail to absorb the source of
the overwhelmingly, the ultraviolet
rays. TIE latter. nevertheless, can be
intercepted by goggles or screens of
uranium or yellow glass, and these, ii
Is expected, will in course of time be
extensively introduced. Operators with
the electric drill-burning out holes in
hardened steel plate-have sometimes
had to be treated for intense pain and
partial blindness. This kind of drill. as
is known, acts by fusing hole through
the steel, and the intensity Of the light
is greatly increased by the rays thrown
off by the molten metal. The use of
dark glasses by those engaged In this
kind of work has proved great boon
in obviating its otherwise disastrous eff
fects. A singular feature Of the injury
done to the eyesight is a remarkable
similarity TO snow or desert blindness,
being, as in these, probably due to the

The Popular Science News gives \
very simple and effective way of clean
Ing rusted iron articles, no matter how
badly they are rusted. 1t consists, accord
ing TO Carl Herring, in attaching a piece
a ordinary zinc to the articles and then
letting them lie in water to which q
little sulphurio acid is added They
should be left immersed for several DAYS
or week until the rust has entirely
disappeared, the time depending on how
deeply they were rusted. If there is
much rust, little sulphuric acid should
be added occasionally. The essential
part of the process is that the zinc must
be in good electrical contact with the
iron. A good way is to twist an iron
wire tightly around the object and con-
meet this with the zinc, for which q
remnant of battery zinc is suitable, as
it has binding post. Besides the sim
plicity of this process it has the great
advantage that the iron itself is not al
tackled in the least as long as the zinc
is in good electrical contact with it.
When there is only little rust, the gal
van1zed iron wire wrapped around the
object Will take the place of the zinc,
provided the acid is not too strong. The
articles will come out a dark gray or
black color and should then be washed
thoroughly and oiled.
