Mr.. CampbeII's Legal Adventu,


Robert J. Campbell of New York had
an odd and even awkward experience
one day which illustrates forcibly q
peculiar phase In the practice of law
In the metropolis. Returning home
late at night, he was attacked and Sc
verely beaten by drunken stranger.
To allay the apprehension of his fam
lily Mr.. Campbell explained that he
had been struck by a street car. He
was put to bed and a maid sent out
for liniment and bandages. She re-
turned with a strange doctor. who
proceeded at once to make a minute
examination.
The examination disclosed that the
patient was suffering countless injuries,
most Of them incurable, to his spine.
knees, thighs. shoulders and arms. Mr..
Campbell, who knew how little he was
hurt, was even alarmed by the result,
and his family were thrown into al,
most senseless fear. The following day
the doctor returned and announced that
he was not physician at all, but an
accident" lawyer-that Is, one who
sues corporations for damages result
Ing from physical injuries. He also
brought with him several alleged wit
nesses to the street car accident. all of
whom were willing to swear to any.

The discoverer of prussic acid was
instantly killed by inhaling one Whit
Of his own handlwork.
Pure prussic acid is never sold or
handled. The smell of it Is always
fatal. 1t kills not In three minutes or
half an hour, but the instant 1t enters
the lungs as a gas. The mixture or
ninarily sold as prussic acid is SO parts
water to two parts of the drug Even
in this form 1t is very deadly. A 90
per cent mixture Of the acid would kill
nearly as quickly as If pure.
Atropine though 1t has no harmful
odor, Is 80 deadly that as much of 1t as
would adhere to the end &c moistened
forefinger would instantly cause death.
Cyanide of potassium has a pleasant
smell. which is not injurious, but q
small quantity swallowed kills at once.
Pure ammonia, IL inhaled, would
cause death almost as quickly as prus-
sic acid.
When a carboy of nitric acid is bro
ken, some one has to suffer. 1t will
burn wood, eat through iron plates and
destroy whatever 1t touches. Such an
accident once happened In an acid fac
tory. Every one ran away, leaving
the acid to amuse itself by setting
fire to things. Soon 1t was seen that
the building would be destroyed and
hundreds of people thrown out Of
work, and four men volunteered to put
out the fire In the acid room. They
succeeded and came out all right. Five
hours later all were dead.

That Mr.. Mutt was popular man and

Mr.. Mutt fully realized that he must
die and talked with each member of hb
family expressing the thought that his

An old time Arizona woodchopper
says the blue Jays have planted thou
sands Of the trees now growing all over
Arizona. He says these birds have a
habit of burying small seed in the
ground with their beaks and that they
frequent pinyon trees and bury large
numbers of the small pine nuts In the
ground, many of which sprout and
grow. He was walking through the
pines with an eastern gentleman a short
time ago when one of these birds few
from a tree to the ground, stuck his
bill In the earth and quickly flew away.
When told what had happened, the
eastern man was skeptical, but the two
went to the spot and with knife blade
dug out sound pine nut from a depth
of about ~ inches. Thus 1t will be seen
that nature has plans of her own for
forest perpetuation.
