A German botanist has discovered
that the pretty flower known as the
lily of the valley contains poison of
the most deadly kind. Not only the
flower itself, but also the stem as well,
contains an appreciate quantity of
prussic acid. While injecting decoc-
ton of lily of the valley into the ear
of a guinea pig he noticed the animal
succumbed Immediately, with all the
symptoms Of poisoning by hydrocy-
anic acid. Chemical analysis of the
little plant has disclosed, however, the
presence Of this poisonous constit-
uent, to which-strange to say-sci-
entists attribute precisely the pene-
trating perfume of the lily of the val
ley. The attention Of the German
botanist has been drawn by the fact
that one of his gardeners has felt him
self seized with dizziness and vomiting
after having raised inadvertently
bunch of lilies of the valley to his
mouth, the lips of which were cracked.

Japs Can Teach Us,

In the manner Of repairs those won
derful followers of principle and truth
in art, the japanese, have lesson to
teach us, says the Connoisseur. When
a japanese connoisseur breaks some
precious piece of pottery or porcelain,
he does not throw 1t away with dis
dain; neither does he try TO deceive the
casual observer into the belief that it
is unbroken. Instead, he has it joined
together, generally with gold lacquer,
in such fashion that the fracture Is
boldly shown and commented on, as it
were, by the frank exposition Of the
method by which it is made good.
Curiously enough, distinctly new and
charmingly decorative effect is in most
eases added by these irregular gold
lines, while the sense Of craftsmans ship
is ticklcd by the marvellous skill exhib-
tied by the repairer in thus welding to-
gether the two dissimilar materials.
Truth is preserved at no loss Of ar
tistic beauty; indeed, once more It is
made clear that the two may always
walk hand in hand.

parently harmless looking contriv-
ance.
The camera used for the purpose is
placed facing the window or door,
where the burglar may he expected
to enter. 1t is focused carefully
upon the window frame or doorway
and the lens is uncapped. The flash
light is placed near by and behind
the camera. The electrical appar-
atus is so arranged that the opening
of the window or door will close the
circuit and ignite the flashlight pow
der.
The wires can also be arranged so
that when the burglar steps upon n
board beneath the window, or even
upon the carpet, the light will also
be set off.
In the tests which have been made
some excellent photographs were OBJ
tanned. They showed in every case
the would-be marauder exactly
framed in the window. A similar APP
paratus has been used successfully
for photographing wild animals.

MOUNT ETNA'S HEIGHT.
1t Ii a Little Lower Than Formerly
Computed to Be-son,e Recent
Eruptions.

The height of Mount Etna, the ia
nous volcano of Sicily, has long been
fixed at 1O,S66 feet. Its height has
recently been more accurately meas
ured by trignometrical processes and
the exact elevation is found to be TO-
755 feet. The difference is not i'm
portant, but the more exact deter
mination will, of course, be given on
the maps hereafter published, says
the New York Sun.
The main crater has n width of
1,72S feet and a depth of $40 feet.
Mount Etna has periods of almost
comparative quiescence. Six years
had elapsed after the eruption of
1892, when in the autumn of 1898 blue
flames began to emerge from the
mouth of the largest crater and a
great deal of vapor was emitted from
the lesser orifces. 1t was then an
nounced that Etna seemed to be pre-
pairing for an effusion of lava, prob
ably on the south or southwest
slopes. The expected eruption, how
ever, did not begin till the morning
of July 10, 1899, when great volumes
of smoke and lava began 10 issue
from the main crater but after sew
eral days the activity gradually sub
sided, and Etna soon resumed its
peaceful aspect and has since seemed
to be in n slumberous condition.

Royal Purple.

Peeresses who complain that they
cannot choose their favorite colors for
their coronation robes may have this
doubtful consolation, that the queen
is no better off than they are. She has
to wear robes of a color which is, in
her opinion, the least becoming. Her
own wish was for white, or, failing
that, for red. Purple, however, was
prescribed. No doubt purple offers a
wide range of tints-the "Tyrian dye"
being in all probability as rosy in eff
feet as is "the purple" of a cardinal,
for so 1.-The red" has frequently been
called. But the queen is not to be al
lowed this laxity, and the purple in
which she is to appear is that Of a
frankly violet turn.-London Chron-

ELECTRIC BURGLAR TRAP.

Electricity operates a burglar trap,
consisting of a camera and flash
light apparatus, installed recently in
Chicago, says an exchange of that
city.
The up-to-date battery is set off
unconsciously by the burglar him
self. The device, it has been found,
frightens away the marauder with
the dazzling flash and retains some
very important testimony of his visit
for future use in the bargain.

TpIBULATioES OF EDITOR gpYAN.

Editor Bryan is having trouble
with types, and we tender him
our entire sympathy. The suf-
fering Of editors would fill vol
ume as large as ''Fox's Book of
Martyrs" and the worst part
about it is that most people re-
gard these sufferings from a
humarous standpoint. We re-
member that once upon time
the gifted Watterson wrote a
Christmas editorial, while the
Hess English Opera Company
was giving series Of operas in
Louisville, the most popular OF
which was 1.-The Chimes Of Nor
mandy" then something Of a
novelty. The editors head was
filled with airs from Already and
chimes from Normandy and ne
wove many an apt musical line
into his Christmas revery. But
the little demons that haunt the
cases Of type were very active
that night, and so Watterson S
playful illusions were made to
the IIoss English Opera Com
pany instead Of the Hess, and
that line from "The Chimes"
beginning "Tink-a-t -tjnk-a ding
dong" loomed up the next morn
ing to the EDITORS horror as
"Take o drink of ding-dong."
But the editor Of the old Mem
phis Ledger had an encounter
with the types, which has become
historic. lie undertook to write
a complimentary paragraph about
a famous military chieftain, whom
he alluded to as ga bottle SCARED
eteran.''
Sharp County record., 1902-10-10

"The whiskey trust is described
in the Bible as a covenant OF
hell" shouted Mrs. Nation.
"Good morning, Carrie" the
Glee Club began to shout.
"The rum demon is"
"Goodby booze, forever san G

81 am amazed at such senti-
ments, /"
"Give US a drink, bartender, :"
yelled the crowd.
"The saloon has you young"
"Show me the way to go home, :"
you're on the road to hell, F"
shouted Mrs. Nation.
"Oh, fudge" came a deep voice
from the crowd.

other.

Nation as she plucked a cigarette
from the mouth Of Burnside Win

"Oh, come" yelled the crowd.
Mrs. Nation was finally forced
to stop. She started for the New
House, preceded by a fly

Naturally this provoked his ire
and he sought a correction from
the editor, who gladly gave it.
But once more perverse fate was
at work, and the military celeb
I rity was mentioned as "a battle
scared veteran" Doubtless that
editors feelings were not unlike
those OF another who paid an
eloquent" tribute to a "nohle old
burgher who in cold type, how
ever, impersonated the role o. "a
nobby old burglar"
But Mir. Bryan shall now be
heard. Subscribers of his paper,
The Commoner, are in receipt Of
a personal letter from him, call
