The Department Of Agriculture work
on poisonous plants continues to be
n of the most popular lines Of i'm
vestigation thus far undertaken by the
division Of botany of the agricultural
department. The plan of systematical-
~ Investigating actual cases Of. poison
ing, begun in 1896, has been continued.
The fatalities during the last year, in
cluded over 1000 head Of farm ami
mails and at least 81 persons. The
whole number Of fatalities due to
poisonous plants is without doubt con-
siderably greater than is shown by the
department figures. Even these, how
ever. compared with the statistics in.
Blyth's Text Book on Poisons, show
that during the pas: year the death
rate Of human beings in the United
States from poisonous plants is tWlcs
as great as the average death rate in
England from the same cause. This
is nnquestionably due to a lack of
popular knowledge about poisonous
plants. The bulletin on this subject
has had a wide circulation. and 1t is
hoped that the subject will be taken
up and studied in all its bearings.

WILD TIMES IN ST. LOUIS.

st. Louis, Jan: 14.-The excitement
caused by the failure of the st. Louis
house Of representatives to renew the
contract for electric lighting Of streets,
alleys and parks, eliminated last night
in a demonstration such as has never
been witnessed before. A crowd num-
'bering several hundred completely
filed the corridors leading to the del
'egates' chamber. They howled,
hOoted and Kissed and at times threat
.ened to break in the doors leading to
the delegates floor. Alfred Life, q
page of the house, was assaulted. Al
one time a revolver was drawn by
the sergeant-at-arms Of the house,
Henry Lenke, who guarded n en-
trance to the delegate floor, md Y
eral times before the arrival of the
police it looked as though bloodshed
could not be averted. The arrival OF
a police sergeant and a squad had the
effect Of quelling the disturbance. Inc
situation in the different city instftu-
tons is unchanged from that previ-
ovsly reported. A number Of ordi-
nances have been passed by the city
council this week providing for tenn,
porGry relief in electric lighting, had
their first reading In the. house last
night and assurances were given by
leaders that the measures would nave
prompt attention and action at the
earliest possible moment under the
law. -... .5. t,.tsr '#t

The Disagreement of scenery with
.hideous advertisements is a great evil
in this country, but is by no means
peculiar to it. In England It has
reached such magnitude that a large
society has been formed, with a
periodical publication as its organ, to
combat it and to resist its further ex-
tension. The society is reported al
ready to have done much good, espe-
cially by SO ~arousing public sentiment
as to make it evident that advertisers
guilty of the offence will lose rather
than gain patronage thereby. There
is shrewd in that plan of cam
paign, commendable for application
elsewhere. Advertisements are dis
played solely for the sake of gain, and
il it be known that those which have
a character revolving to good taste will
repel patronage and cause loss instead
of gain, offensive methods of display
will speedily be abandoned. The
remedy of this evil, as Of many others.
lies within reach of the public.

The supreme court of the United
States has decided the case of the Ad-
dystone Pipe Company against the
combination of pipe manufacturers
called the Associated Pipe Works."
The manufacturers in this combina-
ton controlled the supply of gas, water
and sewer pipes in a considerable num-
Der of states, and apportioned the ter
ritory among themselves. When con-
tracts were to be awarded, the COM
pany 10 which the territory affected
been assigned would notify the
companies of it's bid, and they
would put in higher bids. The con-
tract would go to the lowest bidder,
which would divide a part of its profits
with the others. The supreme court
decided. that this practice was a re-
straint upon interstate commerce, and
therefore, illegal.
