Poison Tablets Guarded.

Various methods designed to pre-
vent the mtstaking of bichloride of
mercury for medicine, or some other
harmless substance, have been pro-
posed with the idea Of making 1t pos
sible to use this deadly poison as an
antiseptic without incurring any dan
ger. Two of the latest Of these are
extremely simple but evidently efrec-
tive. One method consists in string
ing the tablets together and then bot
Ting them in the usual manner. A
tablet can only be detached by cutting
the string, and this apparently does
away with all possibility of mistake.
The other method is to incase the tab

can be dissolved with the guard in

Psychology Of Practice.


The question of short versus long
periods OF practice in training the bu-
man muscles for any particular kind
of work Is obviously one having far
reaching application. Some interest
ing experiments on this subject have
been carried out by DIR. X. s. Lashley
of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi-
ton of skill in archery was selected
as the subject OF observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot five
arrows with the English longbow per
day; another, twenty shots per day;
and the third. forty shots. The re.
suits showed conclusively that the
group shooting only five times day
improved in accuracy with less ex-
penditure OF time in practice than was
required by either OF the other groups
for the same amount Of Improvement.
A report on the experiments says:
1.-The relatively greater efficiency OF
short periods OF practice continuing
for many days is in accordance with
the results of the study OF animals
and of speech habits in man, and in.
dicates that in. training to muscular
feats, in both animals and man. the

that most of the agents for imported

favored the established English

Even this was not always easy to
do. but the young men had boundless

policy which brought them success.

What Causes tuberculosis.

DR.. John North Of Toledo, O., is
working on the theory that tubercu.
losis may be due to lack OF lime
in the system. as he says that while
tubercular germs are everywhere, they
only thrive in ripe soil and just what
is lacking in persons subject to tuber-
cular trouble gives food for thought.
He says that there is less tuher-
cu'osis among people living in arid re.

more lime in their composition than

ID INVEST ENGLISH
 WAR LOAN |NMA

LONDON, Aug. 1S-It is proposed to make the English war loan available for investment in India and thus open up the great accumulation of hoarded capital in that country. India is great reservoir of hidden gold and sill yer. Vast quantities of gold go to h. dia from England, but very little ever comes out The late Lord Rothschild. who made long study of Indian finances, told a parliamentary con- mitte that not single one of the thou sands of smooth gold bars sent to India had ever come back. He de- clared that huge amount of money was locked up in the country which ought to be tapped and diverted to useful purposes.
 In recent years there has been considerable flow of Indian capital into industrial enterprises and into internal loans there, but the How re- mains small compared with the actual reserves.
 In order to coax these out through the medium of the British Loan, the people would have to be enabled to participate in the simplest possible way, and the idea would have to be ex- plained and made popular. The Times declares that the only obstacle is the income tax, for Indian investors would apparently be required to pay this tax on their loan holdings twice over both in India and in England

This one item of barbed wire fs working almost revolution in the ac- cepted ideas of land warfare. One of the chief officers, after returning from the trenches in Flanders, said that at many points of the line he saw barbed wire laced into an almost solid weave mile wide in front of the trenches.
 Such a lace-work is absolute pro. lection against sudden attack" said he, "and it can hold back large force long enough to permit the trenches to make every preparation and bring up all needed reserves to overcome the onslaught. It may even do away en. tirely with frontier fortresses, as an intricate net work of wire will hold back a sudden incursion across a bor der more effectually than a massive fortress costing vast sums and capable of easy destruction by the monster siege of guns in use."
