Arsenic In Artificial Manures.
We republish from Lancet" Of Eng
land, the following interesting bit OF
information;
During the past week our Laboratory
Commissioners have undertaken the
examination OF a number Of sub
stances. including certain foods and
drugs IN common daily use. IN the
preparation OF which sulphuric acid II
uaed 1t viii be found, after 4 few
moments consideration. that 3 fairly
lengthy list Of articles o. everyday
usc may thus be drawn upon The re-
suits are not yet ripe for publication.
but We feel bound to divulge one inn
portant result since the disturbing an
nouncement has this week been made
By the analyst Of Manchester that ar
senic has been found IN malt IN a
quantity equal to that found IN Slu-
cose o. malt substitutes. Moreover.
arsenic was found In beers which we're
known 70 De brewcd from malt and
hops only. Now that this remarkable
statement has been made, We may say
that We have found, IN the course or
the inquiry alluded to, artificial ma
nures 10 Be rich In arsenic easily sol
ubls in water. This is hardly surprls-
Ing. since the basis OF artificial ma
nures-namely, superphosphate Of
lime-is made By acting on ordinary
bone ash with common oil OF yitriol.
The important point Is that Il has
been established that plants 20 which
Arsenical manure IS applied take up
arsenic IN their tissues. Cabbages and
turnips gathered from fields manured
with superphosphate have given un-
mistakable evidence OF the presence OF
arsenic Il Is probable that arsenic
aecumulates IN the soil which ls con-
stantly being dressed with superphos-
phate. 50 that plants raised on such
soil would absorb arsenic, and exer-
else an injurious effect on the health
Of man and animals The question
arises, therefore. may not the arsenic
Ia malt be traceabie to the somewhat
large amount Of arsenic inevitably
present IN artificial manures? This
aspect Of the subject is very serious.
and needs further inquiry. We shall
return to Il in a future Issue. when
We hope also 70 Be able TO record the
results obtained ia an examination Of
other more or less familiar articles. IN
which arsenic may possibly Be intro
duced through the employment Of i'm
pure sulphuric acid IN the course Of
manufacture.

PIttsburE Cats Are in Demand for ssrx.
lee "a the Philippines

PittsburE Cats Are in Demand for ssrv-
lee ia the Philippines
The fame OF Pittsburg's cats has
spread to the far East and it Is not
proposed TO import some Of a special
breed into the Philippines. The im-
mense cold storage depot just finished
at Manila IS in need 0f cats and it is
the intention TO supply that establish
menf with Pitlsburg animals. For
years the managers Of the Union St0r-
age company have been worried BY
rats. At first they confined their depre-
dations 70 the goods IN the milder cli-
mate OF the general storage rooms.
Here nature came TO their aid and IN a
few generations the rats and mice be-
came so clothed In black fur that they
seemed impervious to cold. TO rid the
warerooms Of these pests was a trou-
blesome task for the owners Of the
storages-houses. They could use cats
IN the general warerooms all right and
with success. but when they placed the
eats in the cold storage-rooms they
soon contracted pneumonia and died.
The damage done by the rodents was
very great and about hye or six years
ago the Union Storage company expert
mented with a view to finding some
breed Of the feline tribe which could
live in the cold climate Of the storage
rooms. Il tried a pair OF high-bred
cats, but they soon sickened and died.
Finally a pair Of white felines without
a pedigree were obtained and placed in
the storage-room for a time and then
taken into a room where the tempera-
ture was gradually lowered. The cats
showed no III effects and soon could
stand a temperature as low as zero.
The offspring Of these cats could stand
a temperature much lower than their
parents and their fur was much thick
er than their predecessors. A few gen
erations later a distinct breed OF cats
resulted. able to stand the lowest tenn
perature ever maintained IN the ssor-
age-rooms. The question Of killing on
the rodents vas thus solved The cold
storage cats are short tailed. with long
and heavy fur, the hair frequently be-
ing an inch long. Their eyebrows and
whiskers are long and thicker and
stronger than the ordinary cats. The
cold storage cat looks much like the
Angora. but does not thrive when tax.

Physiology and Hysisns-Ths cirenla-
tion.
DR.. Seneca Egbert delivered the frst
lecture Of his course on Physiology
and Hygiene" In the lecture hall at the
Academy one evening recently. He
devoted his attention to the circulation,
relationship OF heart and blood vessels.
etc. and said. in part:
The circulation OF the blood Is main
tained continuously. and for the most
part BY the action OF the heart which
Is a physiological force pump. but the
elasticity Of the arterial walls. muscu-
lar contractions and respiratory as
piratlon all assist in keeping up the
onward fow. The current Is slower in
the caDnlaries than In the arteries and
veins because Of the increased friction
In the former. and because the COM
bined sectional area Of the capillaries
Is much greater than that or either
arteries or veins. The slower flow or
blood through the capillaries prolongs
the physiological interchange and ac-
ton Of the blood as It passes through
them. The high blood pressure In the
arteries Is due to the frictional resist
ance Ia the individual cspillaries and
to the Overfuliness Of the vessels.
These factors In turn convert the in
termlttent injection and flow Of blood
from the heart into the arteries into a
steady fow without pulse in the capil-
laries. The pulse volume Is from to
z huid ounces. II 3lk fluid ounces. the
entire blood Of the body will pass
through the heart in about fifty beats.
or in less than one second. Hence
the rapidity with which a person may
bleed to death when a large artery Is
cut.
The return or back iow or the blood
Is prevented by the valves OF the heart,
which are most adequately designed for
the purpose. The sounds Of the heart
beat on listening over tne cardiac re-
gion Of the chest are due to the action
OF these valves. 10 addition % which
the "hrst" sound Is also partially due
10 the muscular contraction Of the
Teniricle walls. The habitual use or
alcohol or other drugs that stimulate
the heart tend to do harm. because
they increase the strain. upon the heart
and lead 70 its hypertrophy Proper
physical exercise. on the other hand,
IS beneficial. and tends 70 improve the
tone and condition Of the heart.

The quality Of a sample OF clover
seed depends upon its cleanness, the
percentage OF germinable seed. the
vigor Of termination. and the origin
OF the seed. The cleanness Of a sam
pie depends both upon It's freedom
from broken seeds, dirt, and other IN
ert matter and upon the absence Of
weed seeds and the seeds Of other cul-
tiFated plants. The seeds OF timothy.
white. and alsike clover are often
present, and although they must be
considered impurities. they can not be
called injurious. Timothy may some-
times be present in such quantity as
to be Objectionable. not from the ma
ture Of the plant. but because the seed
can be purchased at a much less cost
than clover seed. and a farmer does
not want to pay for clover when be
gets timothy More serious is the
presence OF a considerable quantity OF
weed seeds. especially II among the lot
are the seeds Of some Of the more dan
gerous weeds.
In some localities low grades OF
clover seed are demanded because the
clover is to be used as green manure
and II Is thought that the weeds viii
furnish green material for plowing un-
der and can thus do no harm. This is
true to a certain extent, but the weeds
lall far short of the clover as green
manure. and the value Of the sod will
be reduced IN proportion TO the abun-
dance OF weeds.
