Slow Poison,

The Medical Record has made
an interesting contribution from
q scientific standpoint to the
"embalmed beef" discussion. 1t
says that aside from the repre>
hensible principle OF adding
chemicals Of any kind to food,
there 10 a positive danger in so
doing, in slowly poisoning the
unsuspecting victim. It assumes
that neither of the acids mems
toned was used in sufficient
quantities in any given case 10
produce Immediately deleterious
effects, but adds that their con.
tinued use must necessarily be
fought with harm in interfering
with digestlon, in arresting prop
er nutriment, in complicating
secretion, and eventually in irri-
tating the entire intestion tract.
Boracic and salycylic acids, which
were used in embalming the beef are
no component parts of the human
system, it goes on, and are neither
needed nor tolerated as distinct
food requisites. Not only so, but
the Medical Record declares that
under certain circumstances thes,
acids r distinctly poisonous in
their action, that deaths have oc-
Cured from over doses of both,
and it believes that smaller guam
titles long continued woull have a
like effect.

COLONIALISM.

made to put US into the coIonlA-
ing business, it is interesting to
compare the extent Of our present
and prospective territory with
that of other 1and-grabbing ma
TONS.
This habit has grown rapidly
with the European powers. Dur
ing the present century the
strongest of them have added vast
areas to their dominions and are
after more.
Including part of what is now
known as Canada, the British do
minion in 1900 was but 1,799,004
square miles, in 1880 it was 5,022,-
691 square miles; in 1891 it was
900, Oo3 square miles, with a
colonial population of 307,846,-
122. Since 1891 there have been
new acquisitions in South Africa,
West Africa, Central Africa,
Asia and Oceanica, which increase
the queens dominion to II, 0o0,-
600 square miles and the number
of her subjects to about 100000
900, exclusive of Egypt, the Sou
dan, Afghanistan and Beluchistan,
which are virtually British pro-
tectorates.
France in 1880 had a colonial
area of 377,O56 square miles, in
1880 her area was CSC, 764
square miles; at present she has
3,617,327 square miles.
Germany in 1880 had no colo
MES, but now boasts a colonial
area of 1.O2O, o7o square miles.
The Netherlands In 1900 had
659, 1877 square miles of colonies,
which she has, since 1880, in
creased to 782,803 square miles.
Spain, on the other hand, has
declined from some 10000, 900
square miles in 1900 to 244,937
square miles at the present time.
Her colonial population in 1880
was nearly 1O,0oo,O 600. At pres
ent it is only $4,000.
Of the $1,000, 900 square miles
of the world some %, 298, 900 are
held as pr~otectorates or colonies
by Christian nations. About
700, 900, 900 souls, or nearly half
the population of the globe, are in
these protectorates or colonies.
The United States contains
100000 square miles, to which
the treaty just ratified adds 1885,
221.
It will be seen that even with
what we have taken from Spain
we are still a long way behind
Great Britain in extent of terri
tory. We have passed France,
however, and stand second on the
list of large land owners.
AS to whether this is a cause
for congratulation opinions differ
very radically.
Portugal and 7O4 495 square
miles in 1900, which she has,
since 1880. expanded to eO1,1OO
miles.
Russia had 100000 square
miles of colonial area in 1900,
which she increased to 5.299 1877
in 1880 and 1864, 778 in 1898.

garding the dangerous condition of the
bridge at present. The pilipgs which
constitute the false work, in case of a

Fatal Accident.

Another sad accident occurred on
the Santa Fee Pacific last Monday
morning near Bsnnock, which resulted
in the death of Condu Frank E.
Langdon of this place. The cause of
the accident was the dropping OF a
sand-bOard with the result
that two freight cars and the
caboOse were detached from the train,
the latter taking the siding and jump
ing the track. The trainmen ,on going
back to ascertain the trouble,
found Conductor Langdon on the
track unconscious and apparently
dead. Investigation developed the
fact that the wheels had passed
over his hip and crushing him in a
shocking manner. The injured man
was brought to the hospital in this
city. where all that medical skill and
loving hands could devise was done for
him, but to no avail. At 1920 q. M,
just five hours after the accident, he
breathed his last, and his suffering
was at an end.
Conductor LangdOn was % years old,
and had been in the train service for
this company for several years, and as
freight conductor for the past seven
months. He leaves a loving wife and
child in this city, sister and aunt in
Los Angeles and parents in England to
mourn his untimely demise.-Needles

they are very small but convey great

the trousers closely and concluded that
they belonged to some genius OF
recognized ability and they are max

are made something after the style of
trousers worn by sailors and they are
