its poisonous action are mostly confined
to it's use as a means of catching fish.
The fruit when thrown in ponds and
streams tend to Supply fish, and cause
them to rise to the surface. Fish caught
by this practice are unpalatable and dan

Water hemlock, or death of man." as
it is commonly called, is one of the most
deadly poisonous plants in the United
States, being rapidly fatal to both men
and animals. The roots are especially
dangerous and are frequently mistaken
for horse radish. Cattle eat the tubers
and in marshes they are poisoned by
drinking water contaminated by the juice
of roots which have been trampled upon.
The loss of stock is great from results OF
this plant, and quite a number of human
victims are reported annually. 1t grows
in swamps and damp soil throughout the
states. The Oregon hemiock is far more
destructive to animal life than the above
species, and grows almost exclusively in
states bordering on the Pacific coast
This hem1ock differs from the common
kind, and it's roots are larger and of a
more fleshy fiber. A piece the size of a
marble will cause death to man. Oregon
loses thousands of cattle annually from
this plant.
What is known as the poison hemlock,
country, with a very rank growth. It is
a native of Europe and Asia 1t is the
most generally known poisonous plant
historically, being the plant administered
by the Greeks to Socrates and other state
prisoners. Cases of poisoning have re-
suited from the eating of the seed for
that of anise, the leaves for parsley, or
the roots for parsnips.
Scores Of cattle and sheep succumb an
Nv
shrub, which is found in Atlantic states
from Connecticut to Florida. This
species Is often used for decorative pur-
poses in the winter. Cases Of human
poisoning have occurred by the secret and
criminal use of the leaves to increase the
Intoxicating effect Of liquors.
Staggerbush and branch ivy are found
in the same localities as the laurel, and
are considered very poisonous.
The jimson weed, or devils apple" has
been introduced into the United States
from Europe end tropical America 1t is
a very rank, ill-scented and nauseating
plant, with large pods filled with seeds
resembling buckwheat. 1t is generally
found in grounds about dwellings in all
states east of Iowa and louisiana It Is
common In Eastern Kansas and Ne
braska, and is rapidly gaining a foothold
in many Western states. Cases Of pois-
oning arise in adults from excessive use
as stimulant or as a medicine. Chill
dren are poisoned largely from eating the
seeds, playing with the flowers and
leaves. The government recommends
that all Unison plants should be removed
from resident premises while in flower

WASHINGTON, D. c., May A. = Few
have any conception of the extent of the
mortality of both people and animals
caused annually by many species of ma
tive and exotic poisonous plants, which
grow throughout the United States AS
the fatality rate increases year by year
the subject has become a serious one, and
as a result the department of agriculture,
through its expert botanist, has recently
carried on extensive Investigations in all
sections of the land. 1t is found that at
least thirty plants are of most dangerous
character, and a better knowledge OF
each in their respective locality is want
ing for both man and beast.
In the governments report 1t is shown
that statistics in regard to poisonous
plants are lacking on account of a general
ignorance Of the subject, and it is there
fore impossible to form even an approx
mate estimate of the amount of damage
done by them The various species of
mushroom, water hemlock hellebore and
Unison weed have caused greater death
among people than most poisonous plants.
The number of cattle killed by one spe-
cies of hemlock in Oregon alone is esti-
mated to be several thousand per annum.

by poison ivy is being constantly expert
enced by thousands of individuals.
The most poisonous fungus which grows
among the mushroom varieties is known
as the fly amanita (musearia). It grows
in pine and oak forests from spring to
autumn, and differs conspicuously from
the common mushroom in the absence of
a cup and the possession of the white In

Poisoning cases arise mainly from over

accidental poisoning are reported for man
and various animals. Whole families
have been poisoned by mistaking 1t for
marsh marigold.

Of caper spurge, or mole weed" It is a
common garden plant, introduced in wet
weather in California and Texas, and in
the Atlantic states, from New Jersey to
North Carolina. 1t is a milky juiced
perennial, and grows two feet high, with
a small yellow flower.
The snow on-the-mountain plant caus-
es misery and death to hundreds of peo-
pie every year. The poison of this plant
reaches the stomach through the eating
of honey derived from flowers. It is a
pretty plant, and it's leaves are largely
gathered for decorative purposes. This
spurge Is native weed of the great
plains, and is rapidly spreading through
cut most of the country. The juice is
used largely by Texas stock raisers in
branding cattle, being superior to a red
hot iron, on account of cauStic acid con-
tanned in it.
The poison-ivy is we'll known wherever
1t abounds. Through ignorance or care
lessness, and at the imminent risk of
causing great bodily harm to many per-
sons, this plant is largely planted about
residences for the sake of ornament. 1t
abounds III abundance throughout the
states, and especially in the arid West.
The government recommends legal meas
ures be adopted compelling destruction
of the vines where they abound in cities
and in places of popular resort
The poison oak is equally as poisonous
as the poison ivy, and grows in Arizona
and to the west of the Sierra Nevada and
Cascade ranges in California, Oregon and
Washington.

Admiral Dewey Talks About
the Filipinos.
OF THE PEOPLE
He Is Alleged to Have Said That the
Natives Were More Intelligent
Than the CubanS--Will Be Home
In a Short Time.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE World pub
fishes a dispatch from Gibraltar giving
an interview with Admiral Dewey Just
before the Olympia sailed for New York.
The Worlds correspondent asked the ad-
miral for a statement of his views as to
the Philippine policy.
I've little to say" he said, until the
recommendations of the committee, of
which l an a member, are laid before
President Mckinley
Did you read what Mr.. Schurmann,
one of the commissioners, had to say
upon his return from the ~Philippines?'
AS he is quoted in the newspapers, he
definitely explains my position. 1 quite
agree with what Mr.. Schurmann says, in
deed, l attach great Importance to his
opinions. He is an able and high minded
man.. whose intelligence and eonscien-
tlous devotion to the task assigned him
won my admiration. We are invariably
in Accord
Admiral Dewey has never expressed
regret that he asked to be made one of
the Philippine commissioners. On the
other hand he has said that he is glad he
was a member of the commission, and
his greatest desire now is to put it's re-
ports in the hands Of the president as
soon as possible.
you may add this" the admiral said.
with great earnestness, II lave not
changed my opinion which / stated in the
early days at Manila, then speaking of a
knowledge of both people, that l con-
slider the FllipinOs more capable of self
government than the Cubans. l took the
keenest interest in those Filipinos who
were employed at the arsenal at Cavite,
and often ! was surprised by their intel
ligence. With fair and properly directed
opportunities there are great possibilities
in the Filipinos."
From Montpelier the admiral expects
to return to Washington for the sessions
of the Philippine commission.
II do not know he said, eff Colonel
DENLY will return by that time. If he
has returned, 1 hope to meet both he and
Mr.. Schurmann in Washington. OF
course General Otis cannot leave the
Philippines, and l see that Professor
Dean Worcester is still in the islands.
However, there should be little difficulty
in making our formal report. I hope we
will get to work at once and keep at it
until our task is finished. Anyhow.
Schurmann and myself can put our
heads together
/ mentioned to the admiral what was
uppermost in the minds Of many men
who We're at Manila-what his officers
believe-that had he been given full
powers as a governor general, there
| would have been no rebellion. The ad-
mlral raised his eyebrows at this, as one
who gets information for the first time.
He was absolutely startled.
