The matter was taken up by Mr.. Frank
NJ. Murphy and other citizens of Pres

of Whipple and its convenient location
by reason of railroad facilities as an
army post, were laid before the depart
ment. Mr.. Murphy visited Washing

retary AIger, who ordered the rehabil-
itation of the post, and an appropria-
ton was made for carrying out the or

Before anything was done General
Alger resigned. His successor, Secre-
tary Root, found so many other things
demanding his attention that Whip
pie was neglected until now.
1t is possible that under its re-
establishment the post will be made
the most important in the west. Its
situation is especially advantageous
with respect to railroads. a force
could be quickly thrown to any point
along the Santa Fe Pacific and could
be dispatched to any point on the
Southern Pacific west of Maricopa
more quickly than from any other post.
a body of troops at Fort WhippIe
would be available for almost any re-
gion in the territory in which trouble
would be likely to occur. The expense
of maintaining a post at Whipple, too,
would be less than at any other post in
and there is no other except
the out of the way post at Huachuca,
whose sanitary conditions are so
nearly perfect.

THE LAUGHING PLANT.

The laughing plant grows in Arabia,
and derives its name from the effect
produced by eating its seed. 1t is Of
moderate size, has bright yellow flow-
ers, which grow in tufts, and leaves OF
a dark green color It's fruit is pod
or capsule. stuffed with velvet like
padding. in which lie snugly imbedded
two or three seeds resembling small
black beans.
The natives dry these seeds and then
reduce them to a powder. When adj.
ministered in judicious doses the pow
der produces effects very much like
those arising from the limitations OF
nitrous oxide, or. as 1t is called, laugh
ing gas"
The person to whom the powder IA
given shouts. laughs, sings. dances and
acts in ludicrous way. His merri-
merit lasts for about an hour, and then
he quietly falls asleep. After several
hours he awakens, and has not the
slightest recollection OF anything that
he said or did while under the infiu.
ence Of the powder.
1t is said that an overdose of laugh
ing-plant powder Is likely TO cause SER
ious results. The powder Is sweet,
and it is a common joke to put llttle
OF 1t into the coffee Of some unsuspect-
ing person in order to have laugh at
his expense.
