1t IS interesting to make inquiry into
the cause Of this unfortunate quality
Of the onion. 1t is simply due to the
presence in some quantity of another
mineral matter In the bulb-sulphur.
1t is this sulphur that gives the onion
its germ killing property and makes
the bulb so very useful a medicinal
agent at all times. but especially in the
spring, which used to be-and still Is in
many places-the season for taking
birthstone and treacle in old fashioned
houses before sulphur tablets came in
to vogue, says Chambers Journal.
Now, sulphur when united to hydro
gen, one of the gases of water, forms
sulphureted hydrogen and then be-
comes q foul smelling, well nigh fetid
compound. The onion, being SO juicy,
has very large percentage of water in
its tissues, and this, combining with
the sulphur, forms the strongly scent
ed and offensive substance called sui
phuret of allyle, which Is found in all
the albums. This sulphuret of allyle
mingles more especially with the vola-
tile or aromatic oil Of the onion. 1t is
identical with the malodorant principle
found in asafetida, which is almost the
symbol Of all smells that are nasty.
The horse radish. so much liked with
roast beef fo' its keen and biting prop
erty, and the ordinary mustard Of our
tables both owe their strongly stimula-
tive properties to this same sulphuret
of allyle, which gives them heat and
acrldity, but not an offensive smell,
owing to the different ARA Sngements
Of the atoms in their volatile oils.
This brings us to Il most curious fact
in nature, that most strangely, yet
most certainly, constructs all vegetable
volatile oils in exactly the same way
crmpnscs them all, whether they are
the aromatic essences of cloves, or
anges lemons, cinnamon, thyme, rose,
verbena, turpentine or onion, Of exact
ly the same proportions. which are S1A
of carbon to 11$4 of hydrogen. and OBJ
talns all the vast seeming diversities
that our nostrils detect in their scent
simply by a different arrangement of
sulphur others.

SIX WEEKS IN A GRAVE.
Tho Story That Is Told of an Indian
Eakir'a Eeat

The Scottish Medical and Surgical
Journal quotes a remarkable case of In
dian magic recorded by James Braid,
surgeon, whose observations on mesmer-
ism are well known. At the palace Of
Runjeet Singh-a square building which
had in the center a closed room-a fakir
who had voluntarily put himself into a
comatose condition was afterward sewed
up in sack and walled in, the single
door of the room having been sealed with
the private seal Of the runjeet. To ex-
clude all fraud Runjeet, who was not
himself a believer in the wonderful pow
ers Of the fakir had established a cor
don of his own bodyguard round the
building, and in front of the latter four
sentinels were stationed who were re-
lieved every two hours and were continu-
ally watched.
Under these conditions the fakir re-
manned in his grave six weeks, when the
building was opened in the presence Of
the Runjeet Singh, and the seal and all
the walls were found uninjured. In the
dark room, which was examined with a
light, the sack containing the fakir lay In
a locked box which was provided with a
seal, aso uninjured. The sack, which
presented a mildewed appearance, was
opened and the crouching form of the
fakir taken out. The body was perfectly
stiff. A physician who was present found
that nowhere on the body was trace Of
pulse beat evident. In the meantime the
servant of the fakir poured some warm
water over the head and laid hot cake
on the top of his head, removed the wax
with which the ears and nostrils had been
stopped, forcibly opened the teeth with a
knife, drew forward the tongue, which
was bent backward and repeatedly
srrang back again into its position, and
n bbed the closed eyes with butter. Soon
the fakir began to open his eyes, the
body began to twitch convulsiveIy, the
nostrils were dilated, the skin, heretofore
stiff and wrinkled, assumed gradually its
normal fullness, and in a few minutes
the fakir opened his lips and in a feeble
voice asked Runjeet Singh, ''Do you now
believe meT'
While tales of Indian fakirs are calcu-
lated to excite distrust, and impostors
trade on the credulous for purposes of
gain, the fact remains attested by well
authenticated cases that certain men can
voluntarily put themselves into a state in
which no vital phenomena are demon
strable by more or less careful examina-
tions, and can awake later to normal life
In this connection the Information of an
imals must be mentioned, also the obser-
walton of Leeuwenhoek that in the dust
of houses and towns animalcules exist
which are capable of drying up complete
ly without losing the power Of awaken,
ing to active life upon being moistened
with rain water; also the vital altprna-
tions attributed to toads and especially
the cases of prolonged trance, both con-
scious and unconscious, with suspended
animation, and the instances Of burial
alive.-Modern Medicine.

The Prince Got Even.

Several years ago, while mdshipman
in the British navy, the late Prince AL
fred, duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, made
brief stop at Vancouver's island and
was entertained at ball given by the
governor. He was very much struck by
the appearance of girl who seemed to
be the belle of the assemblage when he
entered the room and learned by inquiry
that she was the daughter of the govern
or, whose wife was Il full blooded Indian.
The prince asked the honor Of dance,
but the girl, having been educated at
finishing school in Portland, Or, held
her head very high and, not knowing the
princes social station, responded that the
governors daughter was entitled to dance
with officers OF higher rank than midship-
men.
The prince took the rebuff good natured.
ly. His time for revenge came when one
of the governors suit, not knowing Of
what had happened, begged his royal
highness' permission to present the gov
ernor's daughter as partner for the next
waltz. The prince politely declined, re-
marking that his mother would be deep
ly mortified to hear that he had danced
with q sQuaw.

sousa's Foreign Trip.

John Philip Sousa has returned to
America from his trip abroad after
having achieved his great ambition Of
taking his band to the musical centers
of Europe. He is more than gratified
with the success Of his tour, although
1t is said that it actually cost him $10,-
900. Sousa does not grudge the sum,
however, for il has ablished his rep
utation in Europe. His liberality and
sense Of justice are shown by his action
at Mannheim, where, after long days
ride from Paris and a large part of the
band having been lost on the way,
Sousa found that the instruments were
stalled somewhere on the railroad. To
appease the wrath Of the manager Of
the opera house he wrote out check
for 1900. Nearly every continental
city which he visited presented him
with civic flag, and Frankfort sent q
delegation to London to present him
personally with a magnificent banner
from that municipality just before he
sailed for America.-Argonaut.

Effort TO Suppress London.

New York's laudable desire to be the
biggest city in the world is in striking
contrast, as writer in that city sug.
gests, with the ambition OF London in the
last years Of the sixteenth century, when
the decree of Nonesuch forbade the cree
ton Of buildings where none had existed
in the memory of man. The extension OF
the metropolis was deemed to encourage
the plague, create trouble in governing
multitudes, a dearth of victuals, multi
plying Of beggars and inability to relieve
them; an increase of artisans more than
could live together; impoverishing other
cities for lack Of inhabitants. The decree
asserted that lack of air, lack OF room to
walk and shoot, etc, arose out OF too
crowded a city. A proclamation to the
same effect was also issued by James l.

4 Pycmy Watch.

In Berlin there is a timepiece which
Is considered to be the most marvel
Gus piece of mechanism that human
skill ever put together. 1t measures
less than One-quarter Of an inch in d.
ametCr, or one with face about the
size of the head of large sized tack or
nail. The case is made of the very fin
est of gold, and the whole watch
weighs less than two grains troy. 1t
can only be realized how exceedingly
light this is when we consider that in
troy weight it takes $50 grains to
make an ounce and that 12 ounces con-
stitute pound, or that 5,760 grains are
contained in pound. The numerals
on the face Of the watch are in Arabic,
and If the hands were put end to end
they would not measure fve-twenty-
fourths of an inch In length, the large
one being less than one-eighth and the
small one less than one-twelfth Of an
inch long. 1t has, besides, just as an
ordinary watch or clock, second
dial, which Is less than one-sixteenth
of an inch in length. The works and
steel and are set throughout in dia-
mond chips. 1t Is constructed on the
most modern plan, being wound by the
stem and set by pulling the stem out q
short distance. 1t is said to be an ex-
cellent timekeeper.-Science Siftings.
