Atmospheric Poisoning.

The protests against the automo-
bile omnibuses of London have re-
ceived a powerful Reinforcement by
declaration of Sir James Dewar on
the chemical basis. He is undoubted
ly among the high chemical authori.
ties of the world, and his condemna-
ton of the motor buses and freight
vans seems conclusive unless inven-
ton provides innocuous motive power.
Sir James Dewar states that the
combustion of petrol or gasoline in
these motors throws off vast quaint
ties of noxious gases. Some of these
are absolutely poisonous and all in
furious. He holds that the air of Lon
don is bad enough already without
the addition of carbonic acid gas, the
sulphurous gases, and, worst of all,
the asphyxiating carbonic oxide.
Moreover, while he admits that sci
ence can improve motors, he declares
that it is impossible for it to burn pc
troll and render the resulting gases
innocuous.

CRUISING for perellcts,

The excellent work in destroying q
dangerous derelict last week. begun
by the Tacoma and completed by the
Columbia, gives renewed point to the
suggestion hitherto made in these
columns that vessels of the navies OF
the world might with peculiar profit
be employed in tracking and destroy
ing the abandoned hulks which dot
the seas and which present one Of the
one of the most serious dangers to
navigation, says the New York Trib-
une. OF the need that derelicts shan
be destroyed as speedily as possible
there can be no question. Many
known accidents and disasters have
been due to them, and there is rea-
son for supposing that many, perhaps
most, of the mysterious disappear
ances Of vessels might truly be ex-
planned on the ground that they had
come into collision with those wan

North Dakota Solves the AdulteratIon
Problem.

North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make It impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, IL any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads" no one can
object; for they do 1t with their eyes
open. But IL they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting 1t, for none but
the genuine article can bear label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little - sometimes no-real
white lead.
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want.

Symbolism in JeweIry.

Symbolism Is being introduced into
jewelry with happy effect by an artist
who designs beautiful ornaments for
women. Sometimes the setting SYM
bolizes an attribute of the wearer and
again it relates to the history or le-
gend of the jewel itself. His master
piece is pendant just finished for
the wife of millionaire banker. She
took to him a beautiful emerald and
asked to have it set in a symbolic
pendant. The artist had read that
when the Spaniards conquered Peru,
large collections of emeralds were
found among the boards of the Incas
These were taken back to Europe
The fact of the discovery was utilized
in the artists design. The gem was
set Rugged to the bosom of a little
Aztec god. In his hands, which met
above the jewel he held small dia-
mond, Stimulating a lamp, and he was
peering wonderingly into the luminous
depths of the green stone.
