a New Anaesthetic.

The London Lancet announces
that there has lately been discovered
by Hungarian chemists, a valuable
local anesthetic, the alkaloid neryo-
cidine. Its hydrochloride has proper
ties like those of cocaine and it pro-
duces a more lasting effect. The base
is obtained from an Indian plant
Gasu Basu-whoes leaves were some
since time employed in dentistry. The
alkaloidal hydrochloride is<a yellow,
amorphous, Microscopic powder, cas-
lily soluble In water. A solution OF
one-tenth or two-tenths per cent, pro-
duces marked and persistent anasthe-
sia Of the cornea. A one-tenth per
cent solution brushed on the mucous
membrane of the cheek has a like
effect. Solutions exceeding fve-tenths
per cent produce liberation of the
cornea and a 2 per cent solution
causes Lucrative keratitis in dogs
and rabbits which lasts ten days,
during which the an&sthesia also lasts.
Subcutaneous injections apparently
do not produce anasthesia. The gen
eral effect is that of a paralyzing
poison. Experts are of opinion that
its chief use will be in dentistry.

the Value of Peat.

It has been demonstrated that
freshly dug peat may contain as much
as 80 per cent of water, and that air
dried turf may still have Is to 30
percent Of water while giving as
much as one-half to two-thirds of the
heating power of an equal weight Of
superior coal. A report on a car
bombed peat fuel' estimates roughly
that ten tons of raw material, freshly
dug, yield the calorific value of at
least one ton Of fairly good coal.
Thesee figures give a basis for in
teresting speculations, and one con-
clusion is that the peat of Ireland
could give an annual output OF 10O.-
900 horsepower in electric energy for
250 years.

About this time, eight years
ago our esteemed democratic
contemporaries all over the
country were scrambling to get
into line with loud proclamations
favoring free silver as the para
mount issue Of the campaign.
Four years later, while most OF
them admitted that free silver
would still have to be kept upon
the books, they told the country
that "anti- expansion' was the
paramount issue-the real thing
from the death jaws of which the
honor of a Keeling country must
be snatched. The tariff, for the
nonce, was all but forgotten and
the time honored and well worn
shibboleths Of the democracy
we're for the day laid aside while
the sword was drawn over these
new issues. Now free silver and
anti-expansion have had their
day, have served their purpose
that of supplying . theme for
democratic thunderings Of pro
test-and are laid aside, while
the tariff argument, cloaked in a
slightly new garb, is being trot-
ted forth to the same old tune.

terrible industrial depression of
that period is too wildly scared
