Why Poison Ivy Poisons.

Poison ivy has long been mystery
both to scientists and laymen; why
and in what manner it causes the pc
culiar rash and irritating infamma-
ton have puzzled both botanists and
physicians. At last the reason has
been discovered. DR.. Mirande of Paris
read to the Academy of Sciences in
that city recently the results of his
study of the poisonous weed. Poison
ivy contains prussic acid. This is
found principally in the young leaves
and buds: the older leaves there Is
very little of il. In three and one
half ounces of young leaves there is
about a quarter of grain of the acid.
AS with other plants in which prussic
acid is found, the poisonous substance
does not exist in its perfect form, but
develops as soon as the leaies are
ttr.ised, a chemical action being set
Ii through the union of an engine
with a glucosid.

to Gabriel's, and the frightened pro
prietor stared at him as he entered
and throwing up his hands, vanished
like an apoplectic angel into the re

He walked toward the nearest wine
tun and turned the spigot, and a rich
crimson food began to stain the
stone Of the floor. The next was
empty, and the next also. Drawing
himself backward, he shot his fist
with all his might. The blow shat

pieces. Another blow did likewise to
the second tun. Paul Lane removed
the heads and returned, rubbing his
injured knuckles.

BILE leakage the commandant OF Paris
had got wind of part Of the AFFAIR and,
believing that the police were about
to arrest q notorious band OF criml-
nails. had resolved to anticipate them
and obtain the credit for the army.
The denouement was equally calami-
tous for both parties.
Paul sized up the situation before
Tresham could put his wits together.
The kings still clustered at the en-
trance to the dining-room; the officer
was still fumbling with his papers.
He sprang from behind the curtain
and seized the kaiser by the arm,
dashed back with him into the dining
room and ran to a sliding panel be-
hind the big fireplace, a remnant OF
the stirring days of the thirties, when
the last Bourbon reigned on his un'
easy throne and conspiracy was rife
in Paris. He pushed it back, disclos,
ing a narrow flight Of stairs. At the
head he hesitated. The woman jour

veal the story as Lord Tresham had
