New Form of Photograph.

Among the exhibits at the Paris
exposition was a phonograph invent
ed by Valdemar Poulsen, Danish en-
gineer, which uses a wire-wound in
stead of waX-covered cylinder. The
wire is of steel, and over it, in place
of the usual stylus, passes a small
electro-magnet connected with a tel
ephone transmitter and battery. The
sound waves cause a variation in the
intensity of the electro-magnet, and
the magnet, acting upon the wire
passing beneath it, leaves perma-
nent impression upon the latter.
Upon reversing the action the wire
reacts on the magnet and corresponds
ing sounds are transmitted by the tel
ephone. In order to obliterate the
magnetic trace on the cylinder it is
only necessary to revolve it under the
magnet while this is subjected to a
continuous current.

Quicksilver Flasks.

IThe bottles or TASKS used for trans
porting quicksilver are generally
made of boiler iron and are cylindrical
in shape, about 10 inches in height
and four inches in diameter, with a
screw plug inserted in one end The
capacity of flask is 761s pounds and
its weight about ID pounds. Such
TASKS are used by all producers of
quicksilver, and pass through the
hands of various dealers till they
reach the consumer. The total num-
Der used in this country cannot be
very large. as the total product last
year of quicksilver in the United
States was but 2S,S79 TASKS, and the
same flask can be used again and
again till it gets too rusty inside. A
flask can easily last 25 years. We un-
derstand most of those now in use are
made abroad, but an American firm
also has made them. Most of the Sec
ond-hand TASKS can be bought for 25
or 30 cents apiece.

POISON IN A WEARY BODY.
Human Beings Are subject to spc-
cies OF Self-Poisoning by the
Eating Of Game.

The eating of high" game is un-
doubtedly attended with risks and the
poisonous effects are probably due
to the toxins produced in the earlier
stages of the putrefactive process,
says the london Lancet The advan-
tage, oI course. of hanging game is
that the flesh becomes tender and
decidedly more digestible than when
it is quite fresh. The ripening proc
ess however, may mean the elabora-
tion of toxins. 1t has been stated
that the production of the character
1stic flavors of game is related direct
ly to the amount of sulphuretted hy-
drogen or sulphur-alcohol set free,
but it. is rather repulsive TO think
that the delicate favors of game is
dependent upon that invariable prod
uce of decomposition of rotten eggs
sulphuretted hydrogen. The smell
evolved during cooking of high"
game is even more disgusting.
Fresh game sometimes sets up mys-
terious poisoning symptoms. which
have been attributed to the face Of
the game having been overhurried
and fatigued. Fatigue products, in
deed, have been separated from over
hunted game which when injected
into healthy animal have produced
marked poisonous effects. There is
no doubt that fatigue products under
certain circumstances are also elab-
GRATED in the human body and give
rise to species of sef-poisoning,
characteristic symptoms of which are
headache, stupor and gastric and in
testinal pains. The flesh of over
driven cattle may prove poisonous
from the same cause.
This curious formation of poisonous
products in the flesh OF animals
through state of terror or e%haus-
tion is a question well worth consid-
ering in relation to the wholesomeness
of animal foods and emphasizes the
Importance of staying animals intend
ed for food in the most humane way.

THEY SUFFER NO PENALTY.
Scores of Men Who Rob Banks Are
Never Brought to the Bar
of Justice.

"Alvord's theft of $7O0.OOO and
Schreiber's of $1O6.OO0," said an expert
accountant. according to the Phladel-
phia Record, go to show that in all
business it is impossible to prevent dis.
honest men from stealing. No matter
how thorough the auditing may be, no
matter how closely the heads watch
those under them. every man who
handles money can steal, with reason
able chance of escaping detection.
That more such men don't steal speaks
well for human nature. but must quail
ify this statement with the additional
one that many do steal and are caught.
but their employers, while discharging
them, do not make public their crimes.
1t isn't charity which impels the en-
ployers to do this, though; it is a fear
of hurting the credit of the firm.
You can safely say that 90 per cent.
of the thieving employees of 2hiladel-
phia are not brought to justice. Usual
ly they arrange to pay back their defal-
cations on the installment plan. know
a bachelor of 43 who in his youth robbed
the bank that employed him of $4,000
with which he speculated, hoping to
make enough to marry He lost all,
was discovered and is still paying off,
out of pa;try salary, that debt of
shame. I know the histories of scores
of defaulters, and in every case the
thefts were, in way, innocently begun.
The money was taken with the. deter
mination that it would be replaced"
