Some London Streets,

In some of the older and narrower
streets and alleys of London may be
seen at each end two upright posts. AT
first it might be supposed that they
served no more useful purpose than
affording material for children to
swing on. But they are used to indi-
cate that the streets which are guard
cd by the posts are closed to wheeled
traffic. Some Of the thoroughfares in
the poorer parts of London are so mar
row that large vehicle would do seri-
GUS damage il it were driven along
them, and us they are generally short
cuts would be much used were they
not protected.

"The Monitors Instructor" published

Food of the Gods Found,

The food Of the gods appears to have
been discovered at last. According to
a report of tests made by DR.. Clement
and DIR. Hubbard, in London. fQrlnic
acid can increase the strength of peo-
pie in an extraordinary manner One
delicate subject who could only raise
a light weight was, after being eX-
pertmented upon, able to lift five
times sthe!amount. DIR. Huchard's eX-
pertinent upon himself is decidedly in
terest1ng. In two days, 1t is said, he
doubled his strength, and in five days
trebled it. To achieve this he had
taken FIVE grams. Formic acid is a
colorless liquid found in the bodies Of
ants, in the hairs and other parts Of
certain caterpillars, and In nettles. 1t
has a pungent smell, is highly corro-
sive and may be prepared artificially
in many different ways.

BOYHOOD CHANCES.
BY DUNCAN NJ. SMITH

About the ancient swimming hole
Still boyhood fancies linger.
And memory toward that backward goal
Point oft its chubby finger.
The place where boys would sally when
A crowd had been collected,
But. thinking over 1t since then,
I can see that it was about as insan-
itary a breeding place for mosquitoes
and malaria as could awe been Sc
lected.
In bathing suits that nature made,
Each in succession diving,
ConcOcting meanness, I'm afraid,
To tease those last arriving,
We'd pass the livelong summer day,
From pleasures measure picking
Its sweetest fruits, then some back way
We'd sneak home. we'll knowing that for
going in swimming when we were
supposed to be working in the gar
den we'd get an old time licking.
Those days are gone l rather think,
And now, no longer swimming,
I wander often to the brink
And gaze into the brimming-
The old hole where we used to dive,
Down in the water murky.
I wonder we got out alive
And, say, I wouldn't Jump in there now
for a forty acre farm, a gold mine.

ranch or for the crown Of Turkey.

CORK FOR POISON BOTTLES,
An Ingenious Device to Prevent Ac-
cident In Handling Drugs.

cident In Handling Drugs.
Many clever devices have been pat
ented to minimize the risk of accidental
poisoning, but either owing to the diff
culties of placing the invention success
fully (from the financial point of view
on the market or for some other reason
none of these devices has ever vet been
taken up.
But at last a possible solution of the
problem has apparently been achieved
by an inventor living in London.
During a recent interview this indi-
vidual, Mr.. H. Il. Miller, showed the
Illustrated Mail his invention. The
secret Of its future success, says the
Mail, lies In its simplicity. The device
is merely a tiny brass plate fastened
to any cork, with two sides indented
in such a way that the pressure Of its
teeth" on the fingers would remind
the most drowsy or the most careless
