W. j. Bryan once made the
remark ia a Minneapolis inter
view that the only fault he had to
find with Roosevelt was that he
did not go far enough; he should
throw the heads of the offending
trusts into prison. Since Bryan
made the criticism, over a year
ago, all cause for it has passed.
Not many trust officers are in
prison, but the president has
been doing his best to put them
there. His latest move is to start
criminal proceedings Against the
Standard Oil company, and
unless his work is nuiled by the
action of some federal Judge, as
it was in the case against the beef
trust officers, several oily gentle
men who have been loud in their
contempt for law and the courts
may go to jail. If they don't, it
won't be the fault of President
Roosevelt.

How Cyanide Was Discovered.


Scheele in 1888 laid the foundations
for the manufacture of cyanide of po-
tassium. With prussiate Of potash for
Its base, dried animal matter Of any
and all kinds was dumped into the SUI
perheated vessels containing the pot
ash, together with iron filings and Dor
ings. A stonelike black mass resulted
from the cooling, and other processes
brought the final lemon colored crys
tails which resulted from Corporations
of the solutions. From these crystals
prussic acid was evolved, Of which a
2 per cent solution is the pharmaceu-
hcal preparation, yet so powerful that
four drops will kill large dog. A
chemist, putting cyanide solution in
gold lined dish in 1914, discovered
that the gold was dissolved in the
liquid. This was the beginning Of the
gold plating process by the use Of cya-
hide and the further involvement of
the poison came about in electroplat
ing, in photography and in treating re.
tractory gold ores.--Technical World,
