Poison Fr5n, Eroas.

The arrow poison used by the h. 1ians of Colombia has been found to be tlle secretion of the skin of small frog. The arrows are eight inch palm spines, which are shot from blow gun about fourteen feet long. and the huuter carries the frog along lii a hol low bHmbbo in 6ider that lie may have the poison in d fresh condition. X simple prick of the skin yields the poi son drop when needed.

STREET DUST DANGERS.
Flying Particles Cause Many Diseases
 of tho RospiFassry Organs.

tn recent article published in Fly. giene pr. Rasser draws attention to the considerable danger connected with street dust. the action of which oh the human organs of respiration is respon- Sibe to n great extent for the origin of tuberculosis and similar diseases of the lungs and windpipe But apart from this kind of trouble dangerous chronic ihtlammations of thez-eye should be but duWIl to the action Of street dust. In fact all increase lt1 the frequency of catarrhs has been observ- ed With continued dry weather and a reduction on the occurrence of the frst rain.
 Under these conditions road engineer ing. apart from it's technical task. has primarily to fultill a sanitary task. As the production of dust depends on the fixing of roads. pavement com plying with all hygieiiical require ments should be looked for. Asphalt ed streets would seem to comply with most of these conditions. provided there be an extensive and thorough re- moval of waste matter, followed by an abundant sprinkling of the rbad surface. Caoutchouc pavement. as used with especial satisfactory results fin Lond5h, would seem to be most de eirable. br. Rasser does not seem to think very highly of the sprinkling of roads with chemicals. such as salts and tar. Ali ideal inedns of laying street dust which has been suggested of late years is sprihkllng with a solu- ton of sulphite pitch in water, which would seem to avoid any dust for at least six weeks. Sulbhite pitch is ob- tained as byproduct it tnanufacttr: ing cellulose.

ton For the Spikers.
 The modern track laying machine should not be confused with track lay ing tools. us this machine is not d tool, but real machine that actually lays tracks. says the Scientific American The machine moves steadily forward oyer the track It lays III a rate of from twelve to forty feet per minute. Al the rear of the track laying machine are cars loaded with ties and rails. The cars which carry the ties are in ad' vance of those carrying the rails. The rails are drawn forward on rollers and are connected temporarily one to the other. As tue rails pass under the cars which carry the ties the latter are dis tributed upon the rails and spaced apart uniformly. The chain of rails thus serves 10 transport the ties toward the track laying machine. As the rails enter the machine the ties are picked up by q conveyor and carried overhead They are distributed on the roadbed al the end of a truss that reaches far in advance of the main body of the track laying machine The rails in the mean time are carried forward and deposited upon ties previously laid. Tie truss mny be swung to one side or the other ln order to allow for passing around curves
 The track laying machine Is self propelling. It hauls a train of twenty live cars of material. more or less de. pending upon the grade 4 train of twelve cars will carry enough material for mile of track. This machine. with eighteen men. including spikers. cali lay and bolt and spike a half mile of track per day With larger force of t1en two miles of truck may be laid i'll a single day.
