Experience with a Torpedo.

An exploring expedition in a remote
part of China had a queer experience,
which one of the party thus relates: "a
large bottle of carbolic acid had been
broken inside its wooden case. We ex-
hausted our ingenuity in hopeless effort
to unscrew the cover. We feared to
carry 1t farther, Ii the burning tears
distilled by it destroyed everything it
touched. We dared not throw it aside,
lest the unsophisticated heather should
drink it as a cheering or medicinal bev-
erage. We had no time to wait and
empty it, as the fatal fluid would only
trickle drop by drop through a chink
which had been cautiously and labori-
ously ~excavated with a blunt hunting
knife. What were we to do. Degrading
as the confession must appear, We had
to deposit the torpedo in the middle of
the yard and throw bricks at it until it
was smashed"
Perth Amboy evening news., 1903-11-10
origin of the Grain WEIGHT.

The Druggists Circular and Chemical
Gazette publishes the following inter-
esting note on the origin of the grain
weight: By an English law passed in
1866, 1t was provided that a silver penny,
called a sterling, should equal in weight
80 wheat grains, we'll dried, and
taken from the center of the ear.
From this it seems eveident that the
grain of wheat was the prototype of the
standard grain. The weight now known
as the grain is of course copied from
governmental standards. In 1926 GER
tain weights and measures were legal
lied in England, and In 1927 copies of
these were furnished our government.
among them being the troy pound.
equivalent to $3.50 grains. The origin
of the signs commonly used for the scru-
pie, drachm and ounce does not seem to
be known. 1t is not unlikely that they
are entirely arbitrary.
