are equal to one shilling; ten porpolse
teeth represent one shilling, while each OF
the white rings for wearing on the arms
are of the value of one shilling. Among
the other articles-which are used for bar

familiar with its properties Is a conjecture
fraught with grave dangers. Only lately
1t has been shown to be the basis of some
toilet waters. and of numerous other artf-
cles of similar nature. Analysis has shown
that much of the witch hazel sold at a low
price contains wood alcohol and inaSmuch
as this preparation Is often given inter-
nally, this practice should be stopped.
Still more startling the discovery that
wood alcohol being used as the basis

That it has supplanted grain alcohol in
most liniments IS we'll known. Chemists
who have investigated its occurrence in

brought to light in New York were prob
ably sporadic and there seems little like

ing whisky is general
Investigations have been carried far
enough to prove that the unwarranted use
of wood alcohol Is far more widespread
than had cause to suspect, and 1t be-
hooves physicians to let pass no occasion
to impress upon the public the dangers
which accompany its use. The claims of
interested parties that pure wood alcohol
is not poisonous is not worthy Of a mo-
ment's consideration. 1t has been repeat

Neglected Mexican Product.
From Modern Mexico

One of the neglected products of Mexico.
which is bound in the near future to be
much more extensively used, is bamboo.
In the hot country one of the cheapest and
most comfortable roofs is made by the use
of bamboo poles with palm leaves tied over
them. Also to a limited extent bamboo
furniture rather roughly made is used, but
in the interior of the republic 1t is curl
osty. Considering the fact that. on the
low lands tributary to the Mexican rail-
roads in the hot country 1t grows in the
greatest abundance, and can be cut and
loaded on cars al a merely nominal cost
its use in house construction and the man.
ufacture of furniture is bound to increase
in the near future. Here is an opening for
some enterprising man who will manufac-
ture from the native plant furniture equal
or superior IN comfort and wearing quail
tiles to that now imported from Vienna and
the United States and at cost that will
defy the competition of any foreign prod
uct 1t is also within the limits of posi-
bility that this furniture could be manu-
featured and exported to the United States
at profit.

FROM the Chicago Tribune.


An important department of the modern
railroads Of which the public hears little is
the police and secret service branch Of the
great transportation lines. This department
has proved its worth by the vast sums of
money it has saved to the corporations.
Tens OF thousands OF dollars annually
abov" operating expenses. are turned divi-
dend wise
''The special agents department has
stopped up many holes through which rail-
road earnings were sinking. There have
been times when the railroad trains were
oyerruu with crooks; when passengers were
robbed through card games and other
means on ears and in the stations: there
have been times when freight cars have
been robbed systematically in freight yards
or In transit; there have been times when
damage claims against the companies
which were fraud ilent have been settled.
This condition ~ things, II existed on

INDIAN ARCHAEOLOGY.
Relics of an Ancient Shrine Found by
an Excavation
From the London Mall.

From the London Mall.
Mr.. Robert Sewell, who is so well known
In connection with the excavation of the
marbles IN the Amaravati Tope in Madras
lately made a most interesting discovery
while travelling in Ceylon. A tope is
domed relic shrine. and the one at Amara-
vat was erected in honor Of Buddha during
the first three centuries B. G. The whole
OF the dome was incrusted with rich mar
Bile sculptures. and when the building fell
into ruins these became embedded In the
ground. Some which were excavated by
Sir Walter Elliot now line the grand stair
case at the British Museum, being known
as the Elliot marbles the rest Mr.. Sc
well excavated In 1877.
While visiting the museum at Amurad-
hapura, the ancient capital of Ceylon. Mr..
Sewell was shown three fragments of mar
Bile sculpture about which nothing was
known. He, however, Immediately identified
them as being pieces of the Amaravat
Tope at Madras. How the fragments found
their way from the banks of the Krishna
river to Ceylon It would be impossible to
say. but they were probably sent as speci-
mems and models to guide the Cingalese
sculptors In their work when the Thupa-
mara the (tope at Amuradhap ura) was be-
ing built, somewhere about the year B. c.
