Recently published statistics show that
the United States sells approximately

England is the best customer Of this
country in food supplies. In 1900 we
sold her s4Os 100000 worth Of farm

100000 for agricultural products.
A bout half Of this was for cotton, the

CARNEGIEs' OFFER WAS IN
BONDS INSTEAD OF CASH.

Washington, Dee. 12.-It transpires
that the gift OF sl0,OO0,0O0 which An
drew Carnegie rendered 70 President
Roosevelt for the founding OF great
institution for higher education was
not an offer OF 80, 00O,0 in cash, but
the par value OF that amount in bonds
OF the United States Steel corporation.
The offer OF these bonds is embarrass-
ing to the administration, owing to the
complications which might arise if the
government accept them, and the presi-
dent it is understood, is now in cores
pondence with Mr. Carnegie about the
matter.
1t is understood to be his desire
that the bonds be converted into cash.
II this is done the only obstacle in the
path of the acceptance of the generous
gift of MIR. Carnegie will be removed
Pending the result of this correspond.

serious criticism II finds against him
in every point, but declares its approval
OF his personal behavior during the
Santiago battle. IL finds that ne did

not use every effort TO learn If the
Spanish squadron was at Cienfuegos;
that it would have been possible for
him to coal his feet at sea; that the
various ships of the feet had ample
coal supply for immediate needs, and
that his whole conduct OF the campaign

Antidote for Formaldehyde.

Dr. Lord says: Several cases Of poisoning
with formaldehyde taken by mistake have re.
Gently been reported. In view Of the fact that
the chemical is coming into more and more
general as a disinfectant and antiseptc.
such cases will probably become more frequent.
An easily accessible and reliable antidote ia,
therefore, necessity. We possess such an anti
dote in ammonia water. Ammonia combining
with fornaldehydc, forms the harmless, non
caustic and nontoxic heNamcthylenc.te .tetramne.
which is wcllknown compound, and is en-.
ployed therapeutically under the names formin,
uprotropne, etc.
The ammonia may be administered either in
the form OF the ordinary ammonia water "a
few drops well diluted, or anisated solution Of
ammonia, or aromatic spirits Of ammonia or
solution Of ammonium acetate, whic latter has
no caustic properties whatsoevre, and is equal
~ capable Of combining with the formaldehyde
TO form hexamethylene tctrnmine.
As fomaldchyde is used to a considerable
extent in the preservation Of articles of food
amp ratCularly in the preservation Of milk, the
readers Of the Salad will no doubt appreciate
the fact that an antidote for formaldehyde is
SO easily obtained and ready at hand.

The Railway of Mont Blanc.

From the New YORK sun.
The heiGth of Mont Blanc is about
$4,000 feet. OF late years it has been
proposed 10 build a railway, with an
clevating shaft, to near to the summit.
The work is to be done in three Sec
tions; an open-air railway, a lower
and an upper tunnel. The first Is to
start near the allancheS-ChamOuni
line ana to go along the left side of the
Arve valley to TaCouney, 100 meters
above the sea, where the lower tun-
mel is to begin. The engineers pro-
pose that it should run on the left
shore of the Tacouney glaiCer toward
the peak Gros Buchar on the Aiguille
du CuGter. There are no insuperable
obstacles to this work and at the vari-
Gus laces the line can safely be about
81. miles in length, and end at an alti-
tude of 3,S43 meters, wher a hotel will
be erected. The upper tunnel Is to be
in TWO parts, the first under the Dome
du Coulter ~ miles long, ending at
height of 4,362meters. The second part
will continue to the Great Plateau,
under gthe RoCherS des Bosses and end
at the Petits Rochers rougues, 1850
metres above the sea. The summit of
the Petts Mulets is 40 metres higher
and cannot be reached by rail on ac-
count Of the ice, but will be gained by
an elevator. The true summit Is still
20 metres higher and must be reached
on foot. or else by rope railway. The
cost is estimated at 21 900, 900 francs or
say $4,250,OOO. The line will be an
electric cog-railway and the power is
to come from the waters of the Arve
It is expected that travellers can be
landed at the Aigulle du Bouter in

Cannot Dispose of Dead Body by Will

The Supreme court OF California says, in the
case Of Enos Snyder, that the general English
and American authorities are not very satis-
tory bearing on the contest where next Of kin
on the one hand. and claimants under Will,
on the other hand, demand possession Of body
for the purpose Of burying il. However, it
considers it quite we'll established by those
authorities that. in the absence OF statutory
provisions there is no property in dead body;
that il is not part Of the estate of the de-
ceased person, and that man cam OF by will
dispose NJ that which after his death will not
he his Between next Of kin and an executor
or administrator as such. II holds that the
custody Of the corpse and the right Of burial
belong to the former, and says that it has been
general declared in the American cases. that
the right Of burial Of deceased wife or hus-
band belongs to the surviving spouse and in
other cases to the next Of kin, being present
and having the ability 10 perform the service.
Under this same decision person cannot order
order a postmortcm examination OF his body
nor can he direct that his remains shall be at
the disposal Of science for the purpose OF fur

among tho laudatores temporis acti. In a re-
cent address delivered before the Book and
journal club Of the Medical and Chirurgical
Faculty Of Maryland maryland Medical journal,
June l90D, DIR. Henry started to describe the
valuable collection OF Inuunahula IN the col.
lcge library, but he became so much interested
ia one of these old books that he very wisely
decided TO devote himself to a description Of 1t
alone. To this fact we owe his most interesting
account Of a volume which he tells MS is reputed
to he the first printed medical book This is
the Tractatus de Epidcmia ct Peste, Of Nalescus
de Tarenta. About this rare and venerable tome,
which is one Of the priceless relics Of primitive
typography, Dr. Henry discourses in a most
instructive way. This book was printed doubt
less before li7i, but. like the very oldest in
cunahula, il is without date, and the proof ot
its age is collateral. Its contents arc apprO.
pirate to the present time. for IL discusses the
plague (that perennial subject in medical liter.
ature) and, as DIR. Henry tells us, it is redolent
Of the past. for it contains the ancient pre-.
scription called the "theriaca," which was com.
posed Of sixty or seventy ingredients The "In-
cunabua" are the books that were printed he.
fore the beginning Of the sixteenth century,
and Dr. Henry has done well 10 introduce the
patriarch Of the Pathological fold 10 modern

The Chemical Industry.

The chemical industries OF the United States
have made wonderful progress in the past few
years. The value of their products in 1880, ac.
cordng to Mr.. Henry Bower an authority on the
subject, was one hundred and seventy.seven mil.
lion dollars. an enormous increase over 1850,
and it Is probable that the figures for 1000 will
show an even greater gain, especially through
the utilization OF by,products which formerly
were accounted Of no value, This seems to
show that the manufacturers Of this country may
in the near future furnish much of the fifty
million dollars worth of chemicals now annual
ly imported.-Everybody's Magazine.

Iodine in the Human Body.

NJ. Bourget has detected the presence
of iodine, not only in the thyroid
glands, but also in the blood and in
nearly all the organs of the human
body. Plants absorb iodine from the
soil, to which 1t is brought by the
underground waters; herbivorous ami
mails take the iodine in with their
food, and man, in his turn, takes it in
with the flesh of animals. 1t is elm
mated from the human body through
the sweat, in the cuttings of hair and
nails and with excreted blood, &c.
