Effects of Arsenic,

Arsenic, as science has long told lis,
is an accumulatiye poison said a
druggist "When one takes it either by
prescription for the upbuilding of all
appetite or for the bleaching Of the
skin he does not feel any Ill effects for
several years. The effect of the drug
is bracing and makes person feel
like eating. 1t also aids the digestion.
The average user Of the poison takes
it in such small quantities that he does
not realize how much of it will ac-
emulate in his system in the course
Of four or five years.
Being an accumulative poison, 1t
often takes that length of time to see
the results of the drug. Then the user
may complain of not being able to con-
troll his fingers or toes. Subsequently
he loses control of his hands and arms.
Paralysis. superinduced by arsenical
poisoning, is the fearful result"

Signing Diplomatic Notes.

No one can say exactly why our Sec
retaries of state sign diplomatic COM
munications with their surnames only.
except that it has always been so. We
copied the custom from European chan
celleries, and it probably has its origin
in the habit of royalty, which is to
sign with one name only. Thus King
George of England signs himself
George, r. L. REX, Imperator- King.
Emperor); Sir Edward Grey signed al
ways as Grey" the democratic Mr..
Bryan when secretary of state affixed
his signature to diplomatic notes as
Bryan At first sight there seems to
be profound fattery implied in the
custom. It assumes that the signer
cannot be mistaken; that there lis only
one George" and "Grey," one "Bry-
an. And generally there is only one
in the diplomatic world where these
exchanges take place.-New York SUN.

Making a Victoria Cross.

Ever since the Victoria cross was
instituted by Queen Victoria at the
end of the Crimean war the making Of
the medals has been in the hands of
the same firm. The ordinary medal is
made from steel die. being stamped
and completed in the same process
But the metal from which the Victoria
crosses are made is so hard that no
die would stand it without breaking
1t is well known that the first crosses
were made from captured Russian
guns, but now the materials come from
guns taken from the Chinese. With
an order for the cross is sent a supply
Of the metal.
First rough cast of the cross is
made, and this has to be filed, drilled
and chased. The chasing occupies the
attention of skilled artisan for many
hours. The bar is separate casting
and is also chased. The authorities
are most careful to see that none of
the metal is wasted 1t is most care
fully served out, and if any is left over
from one lot of crosses it is used up
before fresh supply can be obtained.

Of space, the Automobile Show will be
cramped for room, and the managers
are seriously considering erecting a
tent Immediately to the west 500 feet
long and 100 feet wide.
If this tent is used the State FAR
Automobile Show will be the biggest
given in the world this year.
The Wisconsin State Fair will be SO
big and so valuable from an educa-
tional point of view that no one can
begin to see all of it as it should be
seen in less than three days and
nights. Any one who spends less time
than this at the states great EXPOSE
ton will lose much of it's real educa-
tional value
None but the cleanest amusements
are tolerated, and there will be more
than a plenty to entertain as well as
inform and inspire.
Don't miss the 1917 State Fair!

Got There All Riqht.

Many years ago, at the beginning OF
November, missive bearing the ST
Adams postmark reached st. Martins
The envelope was addressed "lud mar
lunding.' Neither tail nor head could
be made out of this by the staff, so the
envelope was opened for clew. The
letter read. "kenyobiauosfoyosho bill
igs."
The practiced st. Martins decipherer
Of puzzles promptly made out the sig
nature as "Bill Higgs." With the key
this afforded the rest was deliciously
easy. The message was, "Can you
buy horse for your show?" and "lud
mar" meant '1ord mayor" So the let
ter, with an official translation consid-
erately appended, was delivered to the
lord mayor elect.-London Mail

Many Uses For Sawdust.

Sawdust is valuable. It can be used
for almost anything except food. Used
as an absorbent for nitroglycerin it
produces dynamite Used with clay
and burned it produces a terra Gotta
brick full of small cavities that, owing
to it's ightness and it's properties as
nonconductor, makes excellent fire.

Ivory In Siberia.

An enormous supply Of ivory exists
in the frozen tundras of Siberia, which,
it is thought, will probably suffice for
the worlds consumption for many
years to come. This ivory consists OF
the tusks of the extinct species Of ele-
plants called mammOths. The tusks
Of these animals were of great size
and are wonderfully abundant at some
places in Siberia, where the frost has
perfectly preserved them.
