Chemistry, like a prudent house
wife, economies every scrap" says
DR.. Lyon Playfair, the eminent British
scientist, in one of his lectures. But
who realizes the extent to which what
were formerly the mere waste and re-
fuse OF factories are now converted into
valuable products.
A mere sketch of what science, espec-
tally chemistry, has done more within
the last 10 years for the conversion of
rubbish into riches fills monograph
of rs pages just sent sent out by the
Census bureau. The garbage and re-
fuse of cities, which were burned or
otherwise destroyed until few years
ago, are now converted into greases
and fertilizers of large market value.
From the trainings OF COW barns. and
the waste of gas-tar works the essen
tai ingredient of one of miladys most
popular perfumes Is obtained. The
Stag of the iron furnaces, until recent
iy thrown away, is now converted by
chemical processes into excellent paw
Ing blocks, artificial porphyry, supe-
rior building bricks and cement. Saw
dust is no longer worthless. Chemis-
try transforms it into beautiful and
durable wood. Acttic acid, wood
naphtha, alcohol and tar are also made
fiom it.
The slaughter house furnishes a null
utude OF by-produets of commercial
value. Medicines for nervous disorders
are reduced from the gray brain mat
ter Of animals; albumen from their
blood; soap, glue, gelatine, knife ham
dies and buttons from their bones:
buttons, ornaments, chemicals and fer
tilizers from their horns and hoofs:
butter substitutes, soaps. stock, glyc-
crime and oils from their fats. And
the rise of cottonseed from the rank
of an utterly worthless article to a
commodity worth one-fifth of the year
~ value of the cotton crop itself is
enc of the great romances of our in
dustriai development.

EXPLAINS PELEE's ACTIONS.
Views of Prof. Verrill on the Recent
Eruption.

Some of the phenomena attending
the destruction Of st. Pierre have
been difficult to explain, especially
the sheet of fame that seems to have
accompanied or closely followed the
violent explosion of gas.
Prof. Verrill Of Yale states his view
to be that the heat is sufficient to
cause the dissertation of hydrogen
and oxygen from water coming sud
denly into contact with the lava ia the
crater, and that in the case of sea
water chloride would be ASSOCIATED
from sodium.
These gases suddenly elected with
great violence and exploding in the
air above the crater would produce
the effects manifested on SO great a
scale at Martinique.
The people were killed by the sud
den explosion of a vast volume of
hydrogen and oxygen; and this ac-
counts for the sudden burning of flesh
and clothes, as well as of buildings
and of vessels in the roadstead.
The chlorine combining with some
of the hydrogen would produce hydro
chloric acid, which is poisonous and
suffocating and would quickly kill all
those not destroyed by the first ex-
nlOsion

HYPNOTIC CURES.
Result OF Experiments in an English In
sane Asvlum.

sane Asylum.
In lecture delivered before the
Kings College Medical Society Dr.
Milne Bramwell gave an interesting
sketch of the subject of hypnotism
Describing the experiments of Florel,
who till recently was medical director
of the Burgholi Asylum and one of
the professors of the University Of
Zurich. he said that he succeeded in
hypnotizing nearly all his asylum at
tendants, both male and female, a
large proportion of them becoming pro-
found somnambules. For ten years
experiments were made in regard to
the use of hypnotism in the night
watching of dangerous lunatics. Ward
ers We're hypnotzed and trained to
sleep by the bedside of those patients
and to awake the instant they heard
them attempt to get out of bed, the
hypnotic suggestion being made use
of to inhibit all sounds, which had
no reference to the duty laid upon
them, and it was found that warders
so hypnotiZed could perform night duty
for six months and work hard all day
without showing signs of fatigue. The
results of these experiments We're, it
is said uniformly successful, and no
accident of any kind occurred.
In regard to this and other applica-
tons of hypnotism DR.. Bramwell re-
fers to the method of Wetterstrand
who. instead of restricting himself to
suggestions made in the course OF Il
short hypnotic trance, advocated the
use of the curative effects of prolonged
hynotic sleep. Wetterstrand treated
epilepsy and grave forms of nervous
disorder by keeping the patients in
the hypnotic trance for three or four
weeks. Without rousing them the pa
tents were fed at stated intervals. and
the action of the bowels and bladder
were regulated by suggestion and thus
mental as well as physical rest was
given in addition to such therapeutic
advantages as might be gained by aid
of suggestion.
DR.. Milne Bramwell says that, al
though every one cannot be deeply hyp-
sary for the successful employment of
suggestion. and the number of persons
lnsusceptible 10 some degree of hyp-
motto influence is extremely small
Among other diseases he gives the
following as those in which hypnotism
has given good results: "Hystcria, neu-
rasthenia. dipsomania and other drug
habits. obsessions, moral perversites
and nervous tricks in children" We
may add that. as far as the treatment
of dipsomania is concerned, it seems
not entirely impossible that some of the
startling results which are said TO have
been obtained at certain institutions
for the treatment of this condition may
have been the outcome of an acknowl.
edged but none the less effeetual ap-
plication of hypnotic suggestion.-Lon

Tim Donahue, the baseball catcher,
who died recently at Taunton, Mass,
figured in more good stories than any
other player before the public. One OF
Tins characteristic Hibernicisms was
perpetrated at Hot Springs. Both the
Chicago and Minneapolis teams were
training there and one night there waa
tanning match in Billy Moran's
room. Ryan. Kittridge, "Noisy Pete"
Cassidy, and some others were argu-
ing.
The argument grew so noisy that a
travelling man in the next room beat
on the door and said
For heavens sake You fellows keep
quiet. I've got to catch an early train
and want some sleep"
After that the argument was less up
roarious, and an hour later when all
was subdued. Moran, an inveterate
joker, said to Tim:
Tim, it's an Internal shame the way
you treated that travelling man"
THE way l treated him?" said Don
ahue Indignantly. why, you fellows
were making all the noise"
OF course the entire crowd supported
Moran and Tim lost the argument
Finally he said:
well. If didn't treat him right I'm
ready to apologize" and straightway
he went into the hall. beat on the
travelling mans door, walked him ant
apologized.

POPULARITY OF THE PEANUT.


and tho Goober.
An observant state contemporary
considering the virtues of the pin
Oar" remarks that they do say a
South Carolina legislator can eat more
pindars than anybody else"
1t is a fact that the average South
Carolina legislator is abnormally iona
of ''pindars," as our contemporary calls
| the fruit scientifically known as the
Arachfs hypogoea, and variously des-
isnated in the everyday language OF
this country. Ever the strictest rules
against eating the legislative hail are
insufficient to abolish the habit in the
house. and, while the sedate senate is
not so openly addicted to it, still We
have known the most punctilious sena-
tor to send out surreptitiously for a
bag of pindars and devour them in that
dignity Of manner becoming a senator
of South Carolina. The senators eat
pndars quietly in the senate chamber
and carefully dispose of the hulls OF
they slip out into the lobby or cloak
rooms and there enjoy the feast in
peace. But In the house it is quite
different There tho members indulge
themselves regardless of conventional
tiles, and after an especially trying
day the floor is covered with the hulls
that have failed from their careless
Lands.
In this article we have followed our
contemporary in designating the Ara
CHS hypocoea as the pindar, but there
are many other names for this popular
fruit. In the south, where the fruit
is best known, pin6ar is the most COM
mon name given 1t, although it is
spelled either pinuar or pinder, while
tle form ''pinda" is also found as well
as ''pindal." In Georgia the common
name is 'goober" ana in Virginia,
where 1t is raised on an extensive
scale. 1t is usually called the ground
nut" In the north the name by which
the versatile plant and its product are
known is peanut" or the ground
lea" and it rejoices in still other des-
ignations, such as ''carthnut," Manila
nut and "Jurnut."
The peanut has been found to be Il
very profitable crop and many Vir-
einia farmers have made fortunes out
of 1t. The market is sure and the ex-
pense of planting, cultivation and ha-
vesting is by no means great. The
Newberry Observer interviewed a pea
nut dealer in its town who has a $240
peanut rooster and has II acres planted
In peanuts on his farm out beyond
Helena. This gentleman expects to
gather 800 bushels of good, sound pea
nuts, leaving the undergrown and de-
fective on the vines for stock. - Last
year he planted one acre late and got
60 bushels. Peanut vines yield abund-
antly,' says this authority. IF each
vine on an acre yields only pint, the
yield of an acre is rs bushels. Often
vine will yield quart. Good pin
dars bring from 80 cents to $I.25 a
bushel through the year" So that
there is money in pindars at this rate
