Phenomenon Explained by the Pres.
ence of Mnch Arsenic on Board.


The German bark Zion. which arrv-
ed at this port recently from Fowey.
England. brought a rather peculiar car.
20. 1t consisted of 1.SUo casks of china
clay. but in addition there were on
board 800 casks of arsenic. This part
of the cargo had a remarkable effect
on the crew.
The fact that arsenic as well rs
strychnine helps the formation of adj.
pose tissue when taken into the human
system In minute particles is well
known. and both drugs have become IA.
vorite tonics for convalescents. On
board the Zion the men slept very near
the large array Of barrels containing
the drug. They were stored in the hold.
near the forecastle. and partially ex.
posed to the rays Of the sun. which
streamed In through the open hatch.
When only about a week out from port
one of the crew mentioned to his mess
mates that a peculiar and indescrib.
able odor was coming from the casks
containing the drug. 1t was not long
after their attention had been called to
1t that they all noticed the same thing.
and. strange to say. noticed 1t all the
more forcibly week later. Several of
the German tars became aware of the
fact that they were filling out their
clothes to a much greater extent than
when they shipped. Many others. rs
days went by, became abnormally
stout. in vast contrast to the former
slim appearance which many of them
presented before the land was left. One
man gained. It Is said. twenty-five
pounds. Others were affected to less
extent. But the aggregate weight put
on by the entire crew was little less
than 400 pounds.
Several Of the sailors are known here.
and they are said to be scarcely recog.
nizable when contrastcd with the old
days. The entire sudden taking on of
avolrdupois Is attributed to vapor.
which generated by the action Of the
sun on the casks. was inhaled by the
seamen rs they slept. and acted In pre-.
/ cisely the same manner which II does
when given rs tonic In n prescription.
Captain Hammes. who slept aft In the
vessel. entirely removed from the mr..
senic. does not show any effect Of the

For washing the most delicate en-

CAESAR has a rich, velvet creamy
