yet nevertheless both have one trait
In common-neith is harmed by hem
lock. 1t was the juice of the hemlock,
SO we have been told until we are tired
of hearing It, that killed Socrates Ever
since then 1t has been on the poison list
as far as civilized beings are concern
ed; but, all the same, roots of hemlock
are eaten as food by the Russian peas
ants-and by goats.
In one respect the peasant of the
Austrian Tyrol resembles the hedge
hog, because he can take in one dose
as much arsenic as would kill several
Americans This is not because the
peasant is provided with any special
means of combating the effects of the
drug, but because he habituates him
self to 1t. The Tyrolean finds that ar
senic increases his power of endurance.
He commences by taking an eighth
part of grain for dose, which Is
gradually increased until he can take
without any i'll effect five or more
grains at time.
Experts have not been able to make
up their minds why these people be-
come tolerant to the drug. The most
plausible theory put forward up to the
present Is that an antitoxin is formed
by the administration Of the poison
which immunizes the subject, just as
calf lymph immuniZes us against
SMALLPOX Baltimore Sun.

THE GREEN SUN.
II Was Noticed and Commented Upon
by the Ancient Egyptians.

IL Was Noticed and Commented Upon
by the Ancient Egyptians.
The appearance of a green light at
sunset was noticed and commented
upon by the ancient Egyptians and
more particularly so because in the
clear air of Egypt the tints of sunset
are peculiarly distinct.
AS the sun there descends nearer
and nearer to the horizon and Is i'm
mensely enlarged and flaming, it sud
denly becomes for an instant a bril-
liantly green color, and Immediately a
series Of green rays suffuses the sky In
many directions, well nigh to the ze-
NTH. The same phenomenon appears at
SUNRISE but to a smaller extent Some
times, just as the last part of the suns
disk vanishes, it's color changes from
green TO blue, and so also after it has
disappeared the sky near the horizon
often is green, while toward the zenith
it is blue.
This was alluded to In Egyptian
writings. Day was the emblem of life
and night that of death, and the noe
turnal sun. being identified with Osiris,
thus rendered Osiris king Of the dead.
The setting sun was green; therefore
Osiris, as the nocturnal deity of the
dead, was painted green. The splendid
coffins of the high priests of Ammon
frequently depict the green sun. and
the funeral deities are all colored
green.
There are innumerable instances in
the Egyptian relics of representations
relative to death being colored green.
The practice undoubtedly arose from
the green tints of sunrise and sunset.
The green sun disk Is referred to 5000
years ago in Egypt This is the earli-
est known human record of an as
Economical phenomenon.-Wa Washington

The HERRING CATCH.

1t Is to Northern Europe What tho
Wheat Crop Is to America.
Today the herring is hardly regarded
as a luxury. Indeed, it Is chiefly eaten
by those who can afford nothing else,
and yet 3,0o0,000C00 of these fish are
needed to supply the annual demand.
How this inexhaustible, limitless yield
of the ocean has swayed the destinies
of nations is strikingly set forth In an
article by Harold Bolce In Ocean.
Despite the unremitting harvest by
predatory man and gull and cannibal-
istic cod and shark, the unconquered
armies of herring still continue to pop
ulate the Atlantic with multiplying
hosts
The Atlantic has been aptly called
the herring pond" 1ndelibly associat-
ed in the past with the economic ana
political history of occidental man
kind. the herring seems destined to
survive as one of the greatest factors
In the welfare of western nations. To
day what the wheat crop is to America
the herring catch Is to northern Eu-
rope.
Few persons. even among the masses
that consume this fish, realize Its
economic Importance More than 3,0O0,-
100000 herrings are captured annually.
according to the latest estimate.
The weight of that annual catch is
over 10000 tons.
1t would require $4,000 freight cars,
each with capacity of thirty tons, to
haul the herring harvest inland from
the Atlantic,
