Measuring Distance.

A group of downtown merchants were
discussing the trouble in the Far East
when one of them asked, What is the
distance from Mukden to Port Ar
thur?''
Your question Is a difficult one to
answer" replied Smithkins. IF they
regulate distances there as they do in
some parts of California"
What do you mean?" asked the
other.
"A few weeks ago I was called into
the interior on business" said Smith
kins, "and formed the acquaintance Of

stopping at the same hotel. How far is
it from here to -?' / asked him

an unusual amount of common sense
with him into the Treasury Depart

transatlantic travellers, when they re-

Deadly Cyanide.

The deadly cyanide of potassium,
which whisked the condemned Whit
aker Wright away from the prison
gates. is the most terrible of all cor
rosive poisons. According to a Lon
don paper an eminent specialist en-
gagged in experiment was once so un-
fortunate as nearly to become a victim
to this very method of poisoning.
Il had taken sufficient TO give me
some indication of what death in such
a maner would be-" he said. IF the
poison be concentrated, so also is the
agony, for it seems as though all the
sufferings of ones life were endured
in the few seconds during which it is
possible to realize them. The out
standing sensation which experienced
was the rapidly increasing pressure
upon my brain, as though a rope had
been passed round my head and that
at my forehead was a lever with which
the cords were being frightened to
bursting point.
Anything so terrible 1 had no con-
ception of and 1 shudder to think of
it now. OF all methods of death it is
the most cruel. You take the poison.
You drop as though you were shot.
You are not shot. Were you shot, and
we'll shot, you would be dead. You
are neither shot nor dead. You
are left in agony. Seconds become

Fire in London TheGterS.

It is not generally known what a re-
markabIe record London theaters have
in the matter of immunity from fire
casualties. Sydney Brooks, in an ar
ticle in the current Harper's Weekly,
points out that since 1858 not a single
life has been lost in a London theater
through fire, with the single exception

he comments. "a wonderful, almost al
incredible record, and it appears hardly
less miraculous if we push our in
quiries back to. the beginning Of the
nineteenth century and survey the last
one hundred and four years. In 1907
twenty-three people were killed in the
panic that followed a false alarm at
the famous SadIer's Wells Theater; in
1908 a fire broke out during perform
ance at the COvent Garden Opera
house; the audience escaped, but fifteen
or twenty people who tried to enter the
building TO put out the fire were killed:
in 1858 another false alarm, this time
at the Cobourg Theater, led to the
deaths of sixteen people So that since
1900 less than sixty people have per-
ished through fires at London theaters.
and for nearly the last fifty years the
record, with the exception noted above,
is absolutely clean Of any sort of fatal
ity"

Already evil signs of international complications are
