attacked in a suit begun yesterday by
J. E. Boyle against Chief of Police
John B. Martin for an injunction re-
straining the defendant from interfer-

Kissling street.
Boyle maintains that his stable COM
plies with every requirement of the
ordinance except the clause prohibiting
the maintenance of such a place within
80 feet of residence
He asserts that the ordinance is
invalid because it transcends the pow
ers of legislation vested in the super

it is unreasonable.

Hydrocyanie Acid.

The distilled essential oil of almonds. which when diluted supplies the popu- lar davoEing for sweets and confection- cry known as "ratafa." contains in it's strongest form sufficient percentage of hydrocyanic acid to make it highly dangerous. A young man who was ex- ecuting an order by pouring it from a large bottle to smaller e1ne noticed that he had Rpt put the label quite straight on the smaller bottle and took it off again. Before replacing the la bel he licked it to make sure of it's sticking properly. But while pouring he had inadvertently let a drop or two tricisIe on the outside of the bottle where he had affixed the label. Then when he touched the label with his tongue he felt as if something shot along that member and also jump of his heart So he rushed to a tap which was fortunately close at hand. and d~put his tongue under the running water. Never as long as he lived. he said. would be forget that poisoning sensation.-Ch Journal.
