The Klondike Said to BE Outdone by tho
Hudson Bay Mineral Lands.
QUEBEC. Oct. The last members OF the
exploring party to return from tho newly dis
covered mineral lands Ia Labrador and L nRava
on the east side o. Hudson Bay got back this
week and declare that the mineral wealth OF
that region puts the Klondike in the shade
The story Of the discovery. or rather OF the re-
discovery OF these m neral lands. reads almost
like a romance. Some time ago western
Canadian. J. A. Osborne. OF the Rainy Lake
Herald. came into possession OF an old yellow
leaved diary OF former employee OF the Hud-
son Bay Company. long ago dead In this diary
he came upon a minute description OF these
deposits. on the eastern shore OF Hudson Bay.
in the vicinity Of Great and Little Whale rivers.
IN what's known as Cngaya Land.
The account was so clear that Mr.. Osborne
had no difficulty in having an exploring expe-
dition equipped by American capitalists. This
expedition went north last June and the last
OF its members have Just returned and flied
claims on large tract OF valuable lands con-
tanning gold. silver. copper. precious stones.

WHAT NICOTINE REALLY 10.
A Colorless Fluid That Becomes DaI
When Exposed to the Air,

A Colorlcss Fluid That Becomes Dark
When Exposed to the Air.
In a communication about tobacco in
the current number of the Scientific
American, Prof. John w. Mallet of the
university of Virginia says among 9TH
er things: Ignorance of easily ascer-
tainable scientific facts is, however,
common enough, as is often illustrated
by the brown, oily material formed in
the nicotine, though in reality this is
merely the tar produced by the action
of heat on the woody fiber of the leaf.
Nicotine when pure is a colorless fluid
of somewhat oily consistence and
strong, peculiar, penetrating odor, but
it darkens on exposure to air and
light, becoming first yellow and then
brown, SO that it looks, in this dark
ened condition, something like the tar
ry matter which soils a smokers fin
gers or a handkerchief through which
tobacco smoke is exhaled, or is often
noticed as deposited in the stem of a
pipe. This tarry deposit has nothing
essential in common with nicotine, and
contains but traces of this alkaloid,
when any at all. A part, but only a
small part (about ~one-seventh in the
experiments of Melsens), of the real
nicotine of tobacco is volatilized with
out decomposition; the remainder is
burned and destroyed in the process
of smoking. The sensational state
ments occasionally made in regard to
arsenic, copper, etc, as present in the
paper wrappers, would be at nee seen
to be grossly improbable if it were but
remembered that the wrapper of a sin
gle cigarette weighs little more than
half a grain, and that in such a minute
quantity of thin, delicate white paper
there could be introduced but infin-
itesimal amounts of such foreign adul-
terants without the presence becoming
~perceptible to common observation by
the senses, aside from the positive
scientific evidence that they are not
present.
