A Strange Gar.

From all accounts Gar Nicholas II. is
really very fond of his wife, much to the
Dowager Czarina's disgust, as she finds
she is not the power behind the throne
that she expected to be. The easy
ceremony of the Russian court gives
great displeasure to sticklers for tims-
worn forms. Their imperial majesties
actually exchange endearing phrases in

South American natives, described by the
great naturalist Waterton as a fearsone
mixture of the juice of a poisonous vine
containing a substance similar to strych-
nine, now known to chemists as "curar-
inc" the pounded bodies of red ants, the
fangs of serpents, etc Mystic rites at
tend the fabrication of the drug; the hut
in which the operation is conducted is
deserted, all vessels used are burned, and
the secret OF the process is carefully pre-
served from coming TO the knowledge of
the women of the tribe. The last two
seem to be reasonable precautions
The natives of the Malay archipelago
use the dried juice of a tree, the antiaris
toxicaria, as an arrow-poison. and similar
compounds are found in use by the An
daman islanders, the bushmen OF South
Africa and by the dwarf race described
by Stanley in Central Africa. From TIE
poisoned weapon, dealing its slight but
deadly wound, it is not long step to the
more subtle and much less easily detected
method of administering poison In food or
drink. Here the limitations are more
! stringent. Such poison must have little
taste, so as not to excite suspicion at the
time of consuming the deadly food or
drink. II should be free from any inn
mediate irritant effect, and the symptoms
should simulate those of some common
disorder. Such a substance has for long
ages been known in India in the Datura
(Sanskrit, Dhatoora) class of plants. Da>
tura was frequently used in India for the
purpose of terminating domestic quarrels.
and to this practice may be traced the
origin of the custom of "suttee," or widow
burning. The Brahmin priesthood, who
were also the law-giving class, found that
by making wife's life conterminous with
the husbands, the average husband lived
considerably the longer. The drug also
held an important place as state agent.
The effect of a number of doses, INSULT
cient to kill, is to cause insanity, thus af-
fording ready mems of rendering harm
less subjects deemed too powerful and in
huential. The ancient Egyptians were az
quainted with prussic acid prepared from
peach kernels, as appears from the words
Pronounce not the name of A. l. o. under
the penalty of The peach" deciphered by
M. Duteil on a papyrus in the Louvre.
Here is evidently threat to such as ie-
veal priestly secrets of death by waters
distilled from the peach kernel, which we
know to contain prussic acid. From Egypt
the knowledge of the fatal potion seems
to have passed 10 Italy.

A Famous Collection of Gems.
From the New York Press.


Mr.. James Hill of ST. Paul, Mimi, the
president of the Great Northern Railroad.
is an ardent admirer of beautiful gems.
For a number of years he has been stead
lily adding to the treasures of Mrs. Hill's
Jewel box, and seldom visits another city
than his own without carrying away one
of its greatest treasures. His especial
fancy is for emeralds, and undoubtedly
the first collection of them in America is
owned by his wife.
Mr.. Hill is an expert Judge OF the tex
ture and value of gems. A jeweler once
called his attention to a sapphire that ap-
peared 10 have unusual luster and brill
fancy Of color. 1t was said to be worth a
great price. After a careful study of it,
Mr. Hill laid Ii down and explained to the
1eweler that the stone was most curiously
formed in strata. The center stratum
which was light, gave the luminous ap-
pearance TO the stone, but from the stand
point of purity ruined its intrinsic value.
Mrs. Hill is very quiet in her taste, and
does not share her husbands love for
these beautiful bits of color. She seldom
wears any Jewels, but keeps them safely
in a large box, where. she says, at gives
Mr.. Hill much pleasure to look at them"
The railroad president has, as he says
a box of his own, in which he keeps furs,
for he is also a connoisseur of fine skins
and has collected a good deal of unusual
sable. Last year, when he was away
from home, Mrs. Hill opened the sacred
box, and choosing some of the most beau
tful sable skins, had them arranged as
the lining of great coat for Mr.. Hill. On
his return home she showed 1t to him.
'tBut you have denuded my box" he
cried "and greatly lessened my treas
ures."
Mrs Hill, however, insisted that his
furs had simply been put to their proper
use.

GOOD CONDUCTORS.
Lightning and Earthquake Dangers
to Tall Steel Buildings.
From Casters Magazine.

From Casters Magazine
Lightning is not dangerous TO the steel
skeleton building. The entire skeleton,
in fact, is lightning rod of the most
efficient type. 1t is closely riveted to-
gether, forming a continuous rod: the steel
foundation, below the basement floor, and
are usually in damp soil. The iron wa
ter pipes in the building, too, are connect
ed with the iron street pipes of the city
water supply which form a very effective
ground connection. The same is true of
the gas pipes so that in the way of pro-
lection from lightning nothing is left to
be desired. The Home Insurance building
in Chicago, was struck by lightning on
one corner some time ago, but the only
injury was the displacement of a few
bricks where the lightning entered the
cornice to reach the steel, through which
it was taken off harmlessly. There is no
record of any person ever having been i'm
jured by lightning when in a steel or
iron frame building or when on board of
steel or iron ship.
Earthquake effects on tall buildings
have always been matters of interested
speculation. The native hut i'm the Malay
Archipelago is the one building that is
never injured by an earthquake. It's con-
sLructIon closely resembles the steel skele-
ton in its general engineering principles
Posts are set in the ground and the
skeleton framework is all notched and
dashed together. The exterior is simply a
covering 10 keep out the weather. The
steel skeleton is much like a bird cage
firmly riveted together at every Joint
SO that the shaking of an earthquake
might shake off some of the exterior mas
onry. but could not injure the building
nor it's inhabitants.
In building in an earthquake country
special precautions should be taken where
by any injury, either external or inter
nal, could be entirely avoided and one ~
these tall buildings would be as safe as
the middle of a ten-acre lot. The extra
earthquake precautions are neither djdi-
cult nor expensive. They consist in put
ting in additional ribs in the partitions
and external walls to which the masonry
Is firmly anchored. In such a building all
the partitions should be of concrete. with
steel rods imbedded in it.

ELECTRIC HEADLIGHTS SAFE.
Recent Tests Show the Fear of a
Glare on signals to BE Unfounded.

Recent Tests Show the Fear of a
Glare on Signals to BE Unfounded.
From the New York Tribune.
r. C. P. Sanderson, master mechanic of
the Norfolk and Western Railroad, read
paper at a recent meeting of the New York
Railroad Club on 'Fads, Customs and
Their Cost" in which he said: "There
is positive danger in using a very brilliant
and powerful headlight such as some of
our electric friends are interested in, for
the reflected glare of the surface of the
switch lamp lens Is often so great that
it entirely overpowers the light coming
from the lamp and will show an appar-
emily white light to the engineman while
the signal may be standing at red or
green.''
The electric headlight is to railroad men
one of the most interesting of late inven-
tons pertaining to railroad service The
inventors of the electric headlight have
had a long struggle to make a durable
apparatus which gives a satisfactory light.
For this reason the president of a COM
pany making an electric headlight and
representatives of the Peoria and Eastern
division of the Big Four Railroad, have
made a test of the electric headlight to
determine the truth or untruth of Mr..
Sanderson's statement. At a mile and a
half distant the watchers on an engine
could easily identify red. green and white
lanterns waved across the track. 1t was
shown that the pure white light of the
electric arc magnifed and strengthened
the different colored lights by contrast
Mr.. Sanderson's statement was entirely
disproved. The officials of the Big -Four
wished this feature of the light demon
strsted before equipping more of the en-
gines with the electric headlight.

VOYAGE OF THE UNDERwRITER
Her Owners Confident That She Will
Reach Port in Safety.


Reach Port in Safety.
Norfolk, Va, March 5.--Absolutely moth
ing has been heard here to indicate that
the tug Underwater when left here Thurs
day for Havana towing the derrick Chief,
is either saved or lost.
The sole reason for fear on her account
is that she must certainly have encoun-
tered the terrible Thursday night and FRI
day morning gale off Hatteras. However,
the fact that no sign of her or her tow
has been seen by any life saving crew be-
tween Cape Henry and Hatteras is taken
as a very favorable sign, meaning that
the tug must have outridden the gale. Had
she been wrecked something would have
been heard from her unless she foundered,
which is very improbable.
The impression at the Merritt Wrecking
Companys office here is that she has of
course had rough trip, but will show up
at either Havana or Key West safe
enough She has not had time, under nor
NAL conditions, to make these ports The
local office knows nothing of the tugs
crew or equipment. except in a general
way, as she merely stopped here en- route
from New York and did not come up into
the harbor.
