PHALACROSIS

and the proprietor of conspcuously shining

political antagOnlSm of the leading citizen
However, one of the witnesses was the village
physician, whom the prosecutor loved not and
sought to hunliate.
You are prejudiced in favor of the defend
ant, are you not. doctor!
No. sir.
You are his family physician are you not?
And you are afraid you will lose his patronage
consequently you have wilfuly distorted and
doctored your evidence here to curry favor
No, have not but, since you mention my
professional relations with him, | think the
jury should be informed that he is suffering
from phalacross.

Whereupon everybody sat up and took
notice: the ATTORNEYS put on dipnified

And there the matter rested. The prosecutor
told the justice and jury the case was not of
sufficient importance to warrant the calling
of expensive experts and that they would have
to ignore the doctors testimony as unsup-
ported and unworthy of credence. But the
jury promptly acquitted the leading citizen,
because" as the foreman explained Doc

When the prosecutor got back to his Office

Chance Saved Them

PUT, when all is said and done, pure chance
seems to play its marvellous part here.
everywhere else throughout the universe At
one of the great explosive plants in New Jersey
experiments were being conducted with full
inmate of mercury.
One of the arms of a pair of scales used in the
laboratory had been broken off without the
attention of those in charge of the experiments
being called to the fact. In consequence of
this defect, If one of the scoops was tilted aside
slightly. it would slide from the arm to which
it was attached and fall In the single room
where the work was being done hundred
pounds of dynamite, large bucket of pure
nitroglycerin, and ten pounds of illuminate of
mercury. On the counter where the task
being carried out a number of pieces of
glass. each bearing little pile of the deadly
illuminate. which had been weighed out in
these heaps by assistants.
At the last weighing of the explosive on the
defective scales weight placed trif1e to
side in the balancing scoop. On the in
slant the scoop slipped from the broken fasten-
ing and fell. The weight slid from it at the
same moment and struck on the counter, at the
very edge of one of the pieces of glass holding
the illuminate. Had it struck the glass. an ex-
plosiOn would have followed that would have
instantly destroyed the building and all those
within it.

Fatal Forgetfulness

FINALLY, the worker among things so
deadly must ceaselessly be on his guard
against his own careleSSness, which IS ever
present menace One chemist related to me
his experience when first busying himself with
the manufacture of nitroglycerin by a con-
tinuous process of his own devising. Before
he made final connections for undert aking the
work as a whole, he had thought out every de-
tail of the procedure with utmost care; he had
tested the succession of processes unit by unit.
SO that he felt almost assured of success, and.
too of safety. In the interest of his labors, for
business reasons required the utmost haste on
his part. he had been at the task for three days
without cessation, and for two nights as well.
without an hour of sleep.
On the afternoon of the third day everything
was at last in readiness. The eager inventor
now prepared to turn the glyCerin and
acids He well aware of the grim posi-
bity of his being killed; yet, in estimating his
chances of death, he gave place to the
likelihood of his own carelessness, forgetful of
the strain to which he had subjected himself.
He worn by fatigue that at the very
outset he turned on the glycerin first, instead
of the acid. His hand was actually on the acid
tap ere he realized his error. Some secret in
stinct within him called back his wandering
wits in the nick of time. and. shuddering. he
dropped his fingers from the tap. Had he
turned it, after having permitted the glycerin
to flow he would have been blown to pieces.

and began looking for the body,
which they soon found in the corr
field. The alarm was at once
spread very rapidly. Sheriff Dali

a thorough investigation was at

paneled, who examined the body
and took such evidence as could
