A POISON EPISODE.
When a Famous Chemist Was Silenced
In Court by JuCoe,

When Famous Chemist Was Silenced
In Court by Judge.
There was famous poisoning case
in England many years ago In which
the strong point of the defense was to
show that the accused. who was an
expert chemist, would not have used
poison which could be so easily found
after it had been taken into the hu-
man system Sir Robert Christeson.
professor in Edinburgh university, a
famous expert on toxicology, whose
works are still standard ON that sub.
ject, was put on the stand to prove
this point. When he declared that
chemist would certainly use some poi
son which would leave no trace. the
prosecuting attorney asked him If he
meant to say that there were such
poisons.
Sir Robert replied in the Affirmative
The prosecutor asked, Name themw
Nor shouted the judge. 81 forbid
you to answer that question:
In spite of the protests Of the prose-
cutor the judge would not allow the
expert publicly to give the name Of a
poison which would leave no trace,
and the question remained unan-
swered
Now comes the curious part of the
story. During the next two years Sir
Robert received more than 1000 let
ters from all parts of the world ask
ing, begging offering to buy, the name
Of the untraceable poison alluded to in
his testimony Many of these he kept
as curiosities, showing them to his
friends as evidence of the depravity Of
human nature. Some of the excuses
for wanting the name of the poison
were very ingenious. One man was
writing novel based on poison plot
and wanted to make use Of the un-
traceable poison idea. He did not
want to give the name of the poison In
his book, but just wanted to have It
by him in case any scientific critic
should deny the possibility Of such poi
sons. when he could send him the
name in a private letter and quote the
distinguished authority" from whom
it came etc. Several persons profess
ed to be studying chemistry and asked
for the information on the ground OF
professional courtesy. To all such Sir
Robert would send the advice to pur-
sue their studies and they would soon
know as much about 1t as he did.
Many offered large sums of money for
the secret. usually pretending they
had bet still larger amounts that they
could find it out In a given time and
We're willing to share their profits lib
orally with Sir Robert.
The thing which most impressed Sir
Robert was the number Of persons all
over the world who seemed desirous
Of possessing the secret of an agent
that would kill, but leave no trace, and
the amazing falsehoods to which they
would subscribe their names in order
to obtain the information. 1t is said
that whatever poison Sir Robert had
In mind at the trial he never mention
ed 1t. not even TO his classes. so strong
y WAS he impressed with the danger
of letting such thing become matter
of public knowledge.

Washington's Spring.

The first thing that greets the eyes
of stranger alighting from the train
at Cold Spring, village resting snug
ly In the highlands Of the Hudson, Is
Washington's spring, inclosed by three
powders In the rough, which. as one
approaches. are seen to contain tiny
pool of spouting water. An inscrip.
tion In relief upon the bronze plate
announces that General George Wash
ington. In frequent visits to the Ameri
can troops encamped near by during
the war Of the Revolution, drank Of
this spring and gave it Its name, Cold
spring"
The encampments referred to were
principally upon the famous Constitu.
tion island, just below. to which was
attached one end Of the great chain
which was stretched across the river
to West Point and checked navigation
by the British warships during the
Revolution.

STRIKING IN TINE BACK.

The contemplate habit of siabbing
in the back is one ot the worst traits
oi human nature and one oi the dark
est blots ol human society, 1t is so
utterly ineXcusable, So indefensible, so
brutal and inhuman as to make it all
the greater marvel that any human be-
ing would bemean himself to practice
II. 1t is worse than the crime even ot
4 Judas, lor he at least met his victim
face to face, but the man who "strkcs
IN the dark" is the midnight assassin,
the masked highwayman, the anony-.
nous rutlian who makes his assaults
from ambush and slays his unsuspect-
ing victim so slyly, SO steallhily that lie
is never suspected and secretly he
glories in the knowledge that the life.
blood OF his fellow man is drenchinp

This crime permeates all circles ol
the worlds society. That it Is not
committed with torch or pistol or dy.
Mantle bomb makes it all the more
dangerous and distressing because OF
the indifference of society TO It's das-

possibility of dealing with 1t effectively.
The man or woman who ''strikes in the
dark is the enemy of human happi-
ness, and the bastard of human society.
Ostraclsm will be the only effective
cure Of this crime and when public
sentiment is sufficiently aroused to the
enormity and danger of this crime, the
assassin who works in the dark, will be
driven INTO outer darkness where he
belongs.

SCIENCE AND DISEASE.

An English scientist has sad That ~
years from now tuberculosis will be
but Il recollection of the past, as
science has discovered the means TO
conquer it, and that as a result of the
work which is now being done along
this line wonderful progress is being
made to stamp il out. Before it be-
came definitely known what caused
tuberculosis and what methods might
be adopted to check its spread and
cure with those who were afflicted in
the incipient stage, but now it has been
checked and cures are far more numer-
Gus than are deaths. The same can be
said of typhoid fever, smallpox, yellow
fever, diphtheria and other commune
cable and contagious diseases since the
cause of them is becoming thoroughly
understood and the remedies which
nre being applied To check them are
proving efiectual. 1t has been sng-
gested that all discoveries of relief
made in these diseases which have
carried so much death with them in
the past, be published broadcast just
as quickly rs they are proven To he of
worth, and in this way the people

gress is being made and able To follow
