CRUISING for Derelicts.

The excellent work in destroying

by the Tacoma and completed by the

Atmospheric POISONING.

The protests against the automo-
bile omnibuses of London have re-
ceived a powerful reinforcement by
a 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 quanti-
ties Of noxious gases. Some Of these
are absolutely poisonous and all in
furious. He holds that the air Of Lon
don is lad 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.

North Dakota Selves the AduItcratlon
Problem.

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. II 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 II they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear a 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

MORE PULoUE BEING DRUNK.
Mexico City Gets Away With 100000
litres Every Day.

The consumption of pulque In Mex
leo city is rapidly increasing, and
the hauling of the drink is becoming
one Of the principal sources of rev.
enue on a number of lines entering
the city.
On nearly every railroad entering
the city a special pulque train is run
into the city daily and many of the
regular freight trains carry large
numbers of cars containing the popu-
lar drink.
During the month of June three
railroads, the Hildago, the Mexican
and the Interoceapic, carried into the
of the pulQue gathered within radius
OF sixty miles of the city. The Ma
tional, the Central and the smaller
lines brought in an amount probably
half as great.
Allowing that the population of
Mexico city is 100000 men, women
and children, the quantity of pulque
brought into the city daily is suf-
ficient to supply almost two liters to
every individual. Do you drink your
share? During the month of June A.
9S5,290 liters of pNlque were brought
into the city, as in one barrel there
are $50 liters and in one skin GO liters.
During each day of the month an av-
erage of 74S,263 liters was brought to
the city.
The amount thus reckoned is ex-
elusive of the pulque brought to the
city in wagons and on muleback from
the nearby haciendas.

WAS NAPOLEON AN EPILEPTIc?
Not So Proven, Though He Had
Auditory Illusions.

The question of whether or not Ma
poleon Bonaparte was an epileptic will
perhaps never be settled conclusively.
1t has lately been studied anew by
DR.. Cabanes in contribution to a
work entitled LES Indiscretions de
rHistoire," and in the Progress Med
ical for July Z NJ. J. Noir presents us
with an abstract Of Cabanes' essay.
In favor of negative answer to the
petent observer seems to have left a
record of having seen the great SOL
der in a frank epileptic fit, and We
confess that we can accord but little
significance to the so-called stigmata
on which Lombroso and his adher-
ents lay stress.
On the other hand, the nervous pc
cularities Of Napoleon seem to mark
him as at least highly neurotic in
dividual, and history has handed down
the story of some strange traits in his
family that support this inference.
We are reminded by M. Cabanes that
Napoleon's father was topper and a
man lacking in moral sensibility, also
that his sisters, particularly Pauline,
we're immodest and hysterical. Ma.
poleon himself was exceedingly sensi.
tive to changes of atmospheric TEN.
perature; he often suffered from uni.
lateral headache and appears to have
had auditory illusions.
He had a spasmodic affection of the
arm, the shoulder and the lips. He
was excessively irritable and given
to violent outbreaks which made him
at time unapproachabie. He seems
to have had mania for destruction,
SO that he whitfield pieces Of furniture,
broke articles that were presented to
him. pinched children while he ca.
ressed them, and took pleasure in
shooting the rare birds with which
Josephine had stocked Malmaison.
The least opposition set him into a
paroxysm of rage.
Napoleon's pulse was habitually
very slow, ranging ordinarily between
80 and 35, and never mounting above
SIS. and this slowness of the pulse is
reputed to be common in epileptics.
He had periods of excessive depres.
sion, and sometimes they amounted
to fainting spells. But we may we'll
imagine that his physical defects van.

All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea of a few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being Injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. 1t is a we'll estab-
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, is
not entirely vaporized as Is the case
with Alum. but leaves residue in the
bread, which Is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary, Is entirely evaporated
while performing its function during
process Of baking, leaving no atom OF
Injurious residuous substance. The
words Chemically Pure" enormously
used to designate Cream Of Tartar
from Alum baking powder Is mis-
homer. Baking Powder made OF pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream Of tartar. These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and in, no way
can they imply that one baking pow
der is Alum and another Cream OF
Tartar. Alum has been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact. Ev-
cry large water system in the cities
along the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping it into their water
mains for consumption. Cream of Tar
tar baking powder is perhaps good
enough for any one; Alum baking
powder is better, and very much
cheaper.

DANNY HOCAN'S DRY
BY J. A. TIFFANY.

BY J. A. TIFFANY.

I'm not a bit scientific. In fact, there
Is them as thinks that Gran'pa White
ley's nothing but a darned old fool,
any way; and mebbe you'll think the
same when I've got through.
But before you begin burning your
Bibles or set to work rewritin' his
tory, l want to give you few point
ers about these strange writin's that
you've found.
Sixty years ago / came to this
place, where the village of Somnolton
now stands; and here I've lived ever
since. The place was wild and rug
ged, with an unfinished look; seemed
as If the Lord had left 1t that way
when the IL o'clock whistle blew, and
then forgot to come back and finish
up.
There were ten families, besides
few young unmarried men. We
worked along at farming and home
building for about six years, happy
and contented; and then typhus fever
broke out and carried off most of the
poor little children.
Mary Hogan, the girl as I was go
ing with, had little brother named
Danny, who had a great notion OF
learning to read and write. AS there
wasn't nobody to teach him, he used
to scribble on any piece of paper that
he could get hold of, and try to make
letters same as he saw in his mothers
Bible.
We'll, Mary died, and when they
put her in the coffin. Danny cried for
them to put his DRY in there along
! with his sister. Ysee, he used to call
the stuff he scrawled on odd bits Of
paper his DRY an this dry and
his sister Mary We're the two things
he loved most in the world, so he
wanted them to go together.
II was kind O. broke up after
Mary's death, and went away to the
city for time to forget my trouble.
"One day as Twas coming back, riding
my old nag, I'd got within about two
miles of the settlement, when l hears
terrific rumbling noise. Looking
| towards the village l sees a tremen-
dous cloud O. dust, wi stones an all
sorts Of things filing. Seemed as if
the hull mountain was a-fallin' down
top of the place.
by the time I reached the spot
where my home should have stood,
tons of earth and rock had fallen on
the village, burying it to depth of
more'n 20 foot. Every man, woman
an child persisted. l was the only
one out Of the original 60 settlers left
alive.
Il couldn't tear myself away from
the place where all my friends lay
buried, so built myself shanty, and
I've lived to see the village grow up
again.
That's all l had to say. You've
found traces of an extinct civilization,
all right; but it's only been extinct
about "a years.
These skeletons you've dug up are
the bones of my friends that were
buried in the landslide; and the an
