DEATH EVER PRESENT.
mixers of tho Deadliest Poison Ever
Discovered by Science.


Discovered by Science.
A factory for the manufacture OF
some of the deadliest poisons known
is located not far from the heart OF
New York city and sufficient poison
is being made there now to annihilate
the whole population Of the greater
city. 1t is guarded carefully from all
intruders and no one passes beyond
its portals without q special permit
and even employees have to be skilled
in their work and understand the ma
ture OF the risk they take before ad-
mittance is granted them. In this
factory is manufactured pure anhy-
drous acid, drug that is never placed
on the market in its pure state, and
even in the chemists laboratory it is
handled with all the care of a poison
Gus reptile. If the fumes Of this acid
should escape the chemist would
never live to tell the tale The man
who discovered it was killed by in
haling its fumes and many another
has met a similar death. From 8 to
per cent of this acid diluted with
ninety-seven parts Of water forms
prussic acid. Even this poison is so
deadly that inhaling its fumes would
mean instant death and it is never
handled except in the factory or a
few large responsible laboratories.
Probably next in Importance to this
acid is the cyanide OF potassium,
which is manufactured in the same
factory, only in another part OF the
building, where a fire-proof and air
tight wall shuts it off from the first.
The fumes Of this are not poisonous
and one can work in the room where
It is manufactured without fear, ex-
cept that he must not touch it. The
slightest quantity of the poison in its
pure state would kill if swallowed. The
fumes Of cyanide of potassium have
a rather pleasant odor and it is said
at the factory that it has a witching
effect on workmen. For all the world
the finished poison looks like crystal
lied sugar and as you gaze on 1t and
smell the fascinating odor there is a
strong temptation to taste it. This
fascination is probably much like that
which draws man over steep preci-
pice. At any rate the attraction to
taste OF the poison is so well recog-
nized that a workman is never allowed
in the room alone. In the mixing
room, where the men toll before a
huge oaldron of molten cyanide the
scene is like that Of some old witch s
ture of the terrible poison that the
men are brewing.-New York Even

Astronomers Are PhotOgraphing the
Celestial Bodies Nowadays
At a congress held in Paris in 1887
it was decided that the end of the
nineteenth century should see the
making of a great catalogue of all the
stars in the sky upon a scale of COM
pleteness and precision surprising
anything previously attempted. 1t Is
impossible to eXaggerate the import
ance of such u work, for upon our
star catalogues depends ultimately the
entire structure Of astronomical
science. The work was far too vast
for the powers Of an observatory
alone. Therefore the whole sky from
pole to pole, was divided into eight
belts or zones of approximately equal
area and each of these was assigned to
a single observatory to be photo
graphed. A series of telescopes was
specially constructed, so that every
part OF the work should be done with
the same type Of instrument As far
as possible an attempt was made to
secure uniformity OF methods, and
particularly a uniform scale of pre-
cision. To cover the entire sky upon
the plan proposed no less than 44,10s
negatives are required. and most Of
these have now been finished. The
further measurement Of the pictures
and the drawing up of a vast printed
star catalogue are also we'll under way.
One of the participating observatories,
that at Potsdam, Germany, has just
published the first volume Of its part
of the catalogue. 1t is estimated that
this observatory alone will require
twenty quarto volumes to contain
merely the final results of its work
on the catalogue. Altogether not few
er than 100000 stars will find place
in this our latest directory of the
heavens.-Internatio Monthly.
