1T Is KNOWN AS SOLANINE.
That Ii tho Name OF a Deadly Poison
That Il Sometimes Found
In POtatoos.

Chemical examination has revealed
the fact that a poisonous alkaloid
known as solanine is contained in po-
tatoes. Little of this poison is found
in new potatoes, but even fresh po-
tatoes which have grown about the
surface of the soil and have green
skin are generally known to be poi
sonous, says a scientific authority.
When potatoes are kept a long time
they contain a large amount of this
poison,. and many cases of serious
poisoning have occurred in late sum
mer from eating old potatoes. About
ten years ago many soldiers ii the
i German army were i'll from an I'M
known cause. They suffered with
headache, collie, diarrhea, vomiting,
weakness and slight stupor, and in
some cases dilation of the pupils
The matter was investigated and it.

season one of tho longest in the history
of this port. ,...
1,150 oargoes of ore were shipped, the
average cargo being 1914 gross tons.
The maximum cargo was carried by the
schooner John Smeaton, of the Pitsburg
Steamship Co., August ID, she clearing
with 1852 gross or $50 net tons. This
was the largest cargo yet to pass through
the locks at the Sau]t. The steamer
