A method has been discovered by ].
G. Rhodin of Manchester, England, by
which potassium salts can be eco
nomically manufactured from feldspar.
His process consists of finely grinding
the feldspar and then mixing it with
slaked lime and sodium chloride, the
mixture being subsequently heated to
900 degrees G.. AS result about 50 per
cent of the potassium in the feldspar
is extracted in the form of potassium
chloride. The claim is made that the
method is cheap and we'll adapted for
commercial purposes. According to
the accounts further experiments are
to be made before establishing fac
tory in Sweden for the manufacture of
potassium salts, that country having
been selected for the plant on account
of the abundance of feldspar that is to
be found there and for which there has
up to this time been no commercial
use. II is also stated that the insoluble
residue after the potassium salts
have been extracted makes, with the
addition of IA little sand and all1ili,
an excellent material for glass manu-
facture.

ORIGIN or THE REvoLTER.

One of the most remarkable little
museums on earth is that which IS
hidden away in the rotunda at Wool"
witch, says Pearson's Weekly. 1t is
museum, not of flint arrow heads or
stone clubs, but of guns and pistols,
mortars, .cannons, carronades and other
similar comparatively modern death
dealing contrivances. One of the most
curious exhibits, and one which in
variably attracts the notice and rivets
the attention of the casual visitor, is
a curious eight chambered matchbox
revolver, dating from somewhere about
the year 1886. Concerning this weapon
the attendant has curious tale to tell.
1t appears that it was kept originally
prior to the Inauguration of the Ro-
tunda Museumin private room at
the ROYAL Arsenal. Thither came one
day Yankee stranger, who explained
| that he had dreamt that there existed
there pistol with revolving breech,
and had journeyed all the way from
America in order to verify the truth
or otherwise of his vision.
At that time the collection of old
firearms in the possession of the gov
eminent was very carelcSsly kept. They
were stored in boxes in an old lumber
| room, which was seldom opened. There
was no catalogue. And, as IL matter
of fact. the aged rensioner, who was
supposed to look after them, had no
idea that any weapon of the kind was
among them. The American, however,
was permitted to make thorough
search, and eventually it was unearthed,
rusty and covered with dust, from the
very bottom OF one of the oldest chests.
The stranger, who gave his name as
Capt Colt Of the United States Army,
went away apparently highly, gratltiedi,
after handsomely rewarding the attend
ant A few months later. the first
"Colt, y MS the earlier revolvers we're
called, was placed upon the markets
of the world, and within the next year
or so were being sold everywhere by
| thousands.

Done Much Harm.
London Family Doctor.
The man who originated the oft
quoted maxim, "Stutf cold and sta~e
Il fever" either did not understand
what he was talking about, or he has
been widely misunderstood, to the
great injury of multitudes who have
acted upon the absurd maxim. Pre-.
Stunning that the author of it was II
physician who knew something of the
nature of colds and the action or
remedies, he must have spoken sub
junctively and not imperatively, and
then it would read thus: "If you stuff
a cold the consequence will be that you
will have to starve the fever. This
is a true and sensible Interpretation Of
this commonly received maxim, which
has done as much harm as any of the
thousand and one popular errors which
prevail on medical subjects.
Without dwelling on the nature OF
causes of colds or on what physicians
call the pathology of these disorders,
We will say that low or even starvation
diet for "A few days, with the free drink,
ing of warm, mildly stimulating teas,
is better for cold than any drug o.
combination of drugs.
