AS TO ANIMAL SUICIDES.

/ Scientists Say the Common Belief Ii
Not Founded on Truth.
! The supposed suicide of animals
raises a subtle problem, and to deny
1t is to fly in the face of deep-rooted
popular belief. 1t is just as much a
natural history myth, however, as the
hoary -headed belief in the adder swal-
lowing its young in time of peril, the
toad living in stone nadule for thou
sands Of years or the terminating pow
ers of mummy wheat. The most ancient
felo de Sc verdict of the mythmongers
relates to the habit of scorpions dig
ging their stlngs into their heads when
unable to escape from fire.
Experiments have proved the fallacy
Of the scorpions suicide, notably those
carried out some years ago by DR.. E.
Ray Lancaster, director of the natural
history department of the British mu-
scum, and Professor Bourne of Madras.
Scorpions were confined in an extreme

case of the tortured rattlesnake biting
its own body. the action of the scorpion
in an apparent attempt TO put an end
to its sufferings by singing its head
was purely muscular, and DR.. Lankes-
ter himself compared the action to the
biting the dust attributed to men who
lie in hand-to-hand struggles or TO the !
biting of their own hand or arm by |
children in a paroxysm Of |

A PREsERvATIVE OF WOOD.
Successful Experiments Made in Bel
GUM with Coal Tar Extract

Vice-Consul j. A. Van Hee, OF
Ghent, says that recent expert
ments in Belgium made with new
coal tar extract, known as @injectol, "
have given satisfactory results. He
writes:
The experiments were principally
devoted to the treatment Of wooden
poles and blocks used in street paw
ing. The product is liquid, OF a
dark brown color, very thin, and OF
regular density. It's degree OF viscos-
ity changes very little with atmos-
pheric variations One of the prin-
cipal advantages is it's pentration into
certain woods without any pressure.
For the antiseptic treatment of conf
pact woods, using the apparatus SIM
liar to the "Breant" system, the time
necessary for the pressure and soak
ing into of a given quantity OF in
iectol is considerably less than for
any other antiseptic liquid, including
creosote.
1T has been found that where creo-
soted poles in the ground have only
resisted decay for few months,
those treated with injectol remained
unattached after three years. Sim
:lar experiments we're also made with
railway sleepers, treated with differ
ent antiseptics. Some were soaked
in mixture of coal creosote, creo-
sote and chloride of zinc, and two
were treated with injectol. After
having been left for two years in q
sleeping vat composed Of miscel-
laneous decomposing substances, it
was found that the two treated with
injectol were still in good condition,
while the others were almost COM
pletely destroyed. Similar results
were obtained with wooden blocks
for street paving"

Being PLAYED Upon People
of South BY Oil Trust.
MANY CONCERNS BOGUS
While Masquerading as ''IndepeRdent'
Certain Companies Are Disclosed
as Being Part and Par
eel of Parent Octopus.

Hampton G.. Westcott, vice president
of the Standard Oil company of Ken
lucky, testified Monday in the hearing
at New York of the federal suit
against the oil combine that in sev-
eraI of the southern states the Stand
ard had found it expedient to sell
much Of it's products through compa-
nies which the public believed to be
independent
Mr.. kellogg, counsel for the govern
ment, drew from the witness that the
Standard Oil company of Kentucky,
which acts as selling agent of oil in
Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, Louis
lana, Tennessee and Alabama had pur-
chased numerous small Independent
selling companies and through many
of them sold oil to the consumer.
Mr.. Westcott threw side light on
the business department Of the Stand
ard, concerning which the federal coun-
sci has been seeking information since
the beginning of the inquiry.
Mr.. Westcott testified that each
month the main Office of the Standard
Oh company of Kentucky at Coving-
ton, sent to him not only the reports
of the business operations of the
Standard, but statements concerning
freight shipments and sale of oil by
all competitors These statements, ac-
cording to Mr. Westcott, gave the name
Of the consignor, the consignee, the
amo5ft of OIL shipped and any infor-
mat/,n that might be available.
One OF the most startling Of the dis
closures made during the day came
when Mr.. Westcott testified that for
several years the company has had a
bureau set aside for the sole purpose
of keeping down the prices Of rival
concerns.
The bureau, which was under the
supervision of W. E. Bemas, was CIV
en- every detail Of information con-
cerning companies rivaling the subsid-
iary concerns OF the Standard Oil COM
pany by spies in the employ of the
latter corporation.
Mr.. Westcott testified that he had
often made reports as to the prices
Of oil charged by rival companies in
his state, and he forwarded the re-,
ports TO the statistical bureau Of
which Bemas had charge. After Mr..
Westcott left the witness stand,
government official connected with the
inquiry said:
"For years we have known Of the
existence OF the bureau: but have not
before been able to find out anything
about it. When it was created it meant
a beginning of the end for the oil
companies who remained Independent.
regard Mr. Westcott's testimony as
the most important we have had at
the inquiry"
It was further learned that the bu-
reau is still in existence and is located
on the sixth door of the Standard Oil
building a. No. 26 Broadway.
Mr.. Bemas, however, left shortly be
fore the inquiry was started, and is
now said to be in Japan. -.
