Deadliest Poison Ever Known

Of human reach on a pedestal at the

product Of an American scientist. 1t
is what Germany escaped by signing
the armistice before all the resources
Of the United States were turned on
her.
Ten airplanes carrying 'Lewisite''
would have wiped out every vestige
of life-human, animal and vegetable,
in Berlin. A single days output would
snuff out the 100000 lives on Man.
haitian island. A single drop poured
in the palm of the hand would pene-
trate to the blood, reach the heart and
kill the victim in great agony.
What was coming to Germany may
be imagined by the fact that when the
armistice was signed it was being man.

Three thousand tons of this most terri
BILE instrument ever conceived for kill

on March 1.
'Lewisite" is another of the big Sc
crets of the war just leaking out. It
was developed in the bureau of mines

won.

Use Large Granite Slab to
Form Marriage Certificate

Among the islanders Of Jersey
there is pretty but curious marriage
custom. AS soon as the ceremony Is
over, and when the happy couple are
entering into occupation Of their
home, the large granite slab over the
porch is inscribed with the initials of
the bride and bridegroom, and between
the two a rough representation of two
hearts is entwined, the whole thus
forming marriage certificate for all
the world to see. 1t Is said that, should
the couple by any chance be one day
divorced, the hearts are pierced
through by an arrow which is cut into
them. )
