POISON PARAD0XES.
Deadly Substances Whose Action ls =
Puzzle to Science.


The more YOU dilute certain poi
sons with water the more deadly
they become. This remarkable fact
has been demonstrated by DIR. u.
Roux, the well known French sci
enlist.
The poisons used in the tests
were principally of the bacterial va
riety, but there seems to be no res-
son to believe that the proposition
is not equally true of other poisons.
Some of the bacterial poisons ex-
perimented with became doubly
virile when diluted with 100 times
their volume of distilled water.
When less water was used the poi
sons proved less harmful, and when
they were diluted to an even great
er extent their poisonous action in
creased, The conclusion was COM
PEELED that the greater the dilution
the more dangerous the poisons be-
came, and the only explanation of
fered was that the resistance Of the
blood stream was diminished by the
water.
This is not the only paradox
connected with the action of poi
sons that has come under inyestiga-
ton at the hands of scientists re-
Gently. The venom of the cobra,
the most dangerous of all Indian
serpents, has always proved more
or less of a mystery in view of the
fact that if the poison glands are
cut ont of newly killed snake of
this species their contents may be
swallowed with IMMUNITY by
healthy human being, the poison
being digested in a perfectly natu-
ral way, while if the person swal-
lowing the venom happens to have
any sore place in his mouth at the
time his death is almost instsn-
taneous.
just why cobra venom can be
readily digested, but brings almost
instant death when the VIRUS gets
directly into the blood stream, is
one of the problems now being in
vestigated by scientists.
Another poison whose aetion Is
little understood BY the medical
profession, although it is one of the
most useful of all--nanlely, strych-
nine, is being similarly investigat-
ed. 1t is used as stimulant quite
generally, up TO one thirty-second
Of grain being administered with
impunity. But if the dose be in
creased ever SO little the dangers
Of tetsnus are very great. When
fetanus does follow, however, para
6o1cal as it may seem, the cure sp-
piled is the administration Of more

Chiaffarelli, or Cyafaralii, as 1t is
pronounced, is one of the former pu-
pills of Charming Ellery. known from
coast to coast through his famous Ital-
ian musical organizations. He has
had wonderful success in California
and is now making tour of the Pa
cific coast with his band.
Chiaffarelli will furnish afternoon
and evening programs at the apple
show in repetition of the old fruit
fair days, we'll remembered by pion-
GERS who attended the Spokane show
in the time of Herbert Bolster, when
the Iowa State band, McKinley's Can
ton band and Ellery's Royal italian
band furnished annual musical feasts.
Good music will be the feature Of
the amusement program at the Nation
al Apple Show, and the scope will
range from high brow" classics, I'M
derstandable by anyone as presented
by Chiaffarelli. on through the list to
the popular rag time"
Chiaftarelli is an excellent leader
and he has q fine band. Manager Cor
don C. Corbaley Of the apple show
thought so when he was in San Diego
few weeks ago and never missed q
concert while negotiating with the
noted Italian for his trip to the north
west 10 play at the court of King Pip
VII
A side seat at his concerts is best
because one can hear the music just
as well and can see him lead his must
clans with his face, as well as his
flying hands and arms. The big Ital-
ian is wonder with his baton. but
his face-leading is incompatible. His
face works all the time the band plays
and sometimes his head almost bows
over TO some hapless musician who
has misused a note. He sometimes
leads with his voice, hurting the most
astonishing Italian words at the en-
tire band.

Virtues Of Porridge.

The Scottish parent is from time
TO time rated by the medical au-
thorities for his ignorance and neg
lect in respect Of his children's
food The medical officer Of the
Scotch education department has
again been urging the pernicious
effects Of substituting tea and bread
for pOrridge and milk. Doubtless,
comments the Edinburgh Dispatch,
the medical officer is right. Every
parent Who was himself brought up
On "Them"-that dear old Scotti-
cism-will acknowledge his fault in
having permitted a departure from
the wholesome fare which he was
Taught to believe was, with the
Shorter Catechism, the basis Of
Scotlsnd's greatness.
