]5 Acid Poisoning.

A remarkable discovery has apparent
~ been made by Z Dublin veterinary
surgeon named Allen respecting IN anti
dote for carbolic acid poisoning, reports
the London News. ~. .55s n. II !. n \
Some time ago his attention was
drawn to two horses which were evl-
IDENTIFY suffering from poisoning. On
examining one he noticed that the m'l-
oous surface Of the mouth was blanched
and that the animal was staggering.
There was . general twitching Of tho
muscles, the eyes were staring and the
animal was rapidly assuming coma
tose condition. Mr.. Allen asked for
some oil, linseed for preferences; II not,
any kind Of oil that was handy. Some
was brought, and about two wineglass-
fuls administered to one of the animals,
the effect being, to quote the words Of
Mr.. Allen, miraculous.
For the first time he then noticed that
the "oil" which had been given to tina
horse was the ordinary turpentine Of
commerce. So satisfied was he with the
result that he gave the second horse
q dose, although at that time the ami
NAL was unconscious. In about ten
minutes 1t recovered, and both horses
were at work the next day as If moth
ing had happened. - ~ ~ '*"@s@
:. Not long after this, by q peculiar
coincidence, Mr.. Allen was asked to look
at blacksmith, who, after drinking q
glass of stout, had become very ILL., In
the forge the veterinary found the smith
In a condition of coma, q strong smell
Of carbolic acid pervadink the premises.
Ultimately he discovered that the man
had drunk out of the wrong vessel, and.
imbibed q solution of the acid instead
Of the stout A doctor was at once sent
for, but in the meantime Mr.. Allen adj
ministered dose Of turpentine that
happened to be on the premises, and the
man not only quickly recovered, but re-
sumed his work within an hour.
Turpentine as an antidote in similar
cases had been previously unknown and
a representative of the News recently
sought out an expert with a view of get
ting medical opinion upon a matter Of
so much Importance. "The symptoms
in the case you mention" he said, "are
distinctly those Of carbolic acid poison
ing, and so successful does the treatmen:
appear to have been that further: ex-
periments in the same direction are we'll
worth trying. II subsequent expert
ments confirm the oil OF turpentine
treatment, then on every packet or bot
tie containing carbolic acid should be
printed this simple antidote."

HooPsKlRTs cHokED RIVER
Dredge Brings Up CASTOR Crinolins
Of Forty Years Ago in Re
cent Operations.

The Kalamazoo council has under
consideration the dredging of Kalama-
zoo river from the city of Cooper,
distance of several miles, for the deep
ening of the bed in some places and
the removal sof sandbars lin others.
The estimated cost ct q thorough job
is $780, 900 and for half the money, It
is believed, the situation can be ma
terially, improved and the damage by
floods greatly lessened, reports the De-
troit Tribune. ..... ~ -..
II the dredging is undertaken partic-
ular attention should be paid to that
portion Of the river within the cor
poration which has never recovered.
even with times help, from the chok-
ing the channel received during the
hoopskirt era Of 40 years ago, when
every caston crinoline found it's way
to as near the middle Of the stream as
q wounded and outraged male member
Of the household could throw 1t. Those
old hoopskirts are there yet,4 save the
comparatively few-which are many
raised out by fishermen with hook and
line. They are there by the thousand,
a plague and pestilence breeder. They
have damned the: river, and been
damned by the riversiders. -.
The merits of these ancient skeleton
balloons beat brushwood blind for
stradning water and retaining re-
siduum. All sorts of floating
wood trash found a foothold and
lodged in them. They became shadows
and the shadows of pestilence, for
which the hoopskirts were responsible.
All these antique memories of the
maids and mothers of many years ago
should be scooped out Of Kalamazoo
and something done to put them out
of action, though heaven knows how it
can be done. Possibly deep pit in
some secluded place would hold them.
They should be planted as near the
center of the earth as possible, lest
some scientific researcher for prehis-
toric remains find and exploit them as
the bones Of pre-Adamitic Kalamazoo
loos. %f *&5}.s -. - = +

Examples that would bear out the

all would but tend to prove that the
Louisiana Purchase exposition is the
greatest educator Of the age. We read

not have to read. We see it. In the
Transportation building we see the
primitive locomotives that pulled our
first railroad trains, and standing be-
side them we see the powerful, intri-
cate machines that perform the same
service to-day. That is an education

Electrical building we find the first
primitive electrical appliances, and be-
side them the many intricate machines
that are to-day being driven by this
as yet unexplained power. That is up

school Biographies we are taught,
among other things, of the products
of the various countries. Here we see
them. The book learning we forget,
what we see we remember. Take, for
example, Japan. We are interested In
the progress Of the island empire, we
wonder at her greatness, we read vol
ume after volume to learn of her
progress. Here it is all spread out be-
fore our eyes. We see the same Japan

Her face, smooth, transparent, clear
