are readily distinguished from the
elder and other shrubs and trees hav-
ing somewhat similar foliage, and
the character, appearance and color of
the fruits furnish other simple means
of Identification. Furthermore, the
poison sumac occurs on moist or
swampy land, and in drier locations is
found only along the borders of
swamps or bogs. The number of leaf
lets into which the leaves of the harm
less sumacs are divided range from 8
to 21 and 81, while the poison sumac
leaves divide into to ID leaflets.
While many persons are of the opin-
ion that contact with these plants is
not necessary to produce poisoning, it
is probable that many cases supposed
to have originated in this way have
actually been due to direct or indirect
contact. There are cases on record
showing that the smoke from burning
plants will give rise to irritation, and
in some cases severe poisoning has re-
suited from this form of exposure. Re.
garding the popular belief that some
persons are wholly immune, the in.
vestigators state that there is good
reason to believe absolute immunity
does not exist, although it is recog-
nized that some persons, are much less
susceptible than others.
How to Eradicate Poisonous Plants.
Eradication of these plants should
be widely undertaken and followed
up Systematically. Every landowner
should feel measure of responsibility
in this matter. The simplest method
is by grubbing, in which care should
be taken to cover the hands properly,
and also to prevent infection by means
of the clothing. The plants in fields
may be destroyed by blowing them up
and putting in cultivated crops. Often
repeated moving is also effective. The
use of kerosene is recommended where
injury to other plants or trees is not
to be feared. 1t may be applied with
a sprinkler or a spraying pump, and
in many case one application is suffi-
cient. Arsenate of soda has been used
very successfully to kill poison ivy on
trees six to ten inches in diameter
without injury to the trees, as we'll as
on stone walls, buildings, and along
fences.

ranks. There is no official confirma-
ton of this report as yet.
Government statements relative to
the trouble have been given out by the
Polish Telegraph agency, which says
the mutineers. belonging to cavalry
and artillery units, organized soldiers
councils, and taking up positions in the
outskirts of Kovno, opened heavy
fire on the government buildings. After
quite serious fighting the mutiny was
put down, it is said. but no arrests
have since been made by the Polish
authorities.
Discussing the situation between
Poland and Lithuania, the telegraph
agency says:
'In Lithuanian government circles
there is desire to reach an under
standing with Poland, but this is op-
posed by extremist ministers and the
bishop of Kovno."

Experts Study
Ivy Poisoning

manganate of potash, hyposulphite of
soda, sulphate Of magnesium Epson
salts), and other remedies, is also dis
cussed. Sugar of lead, formerly much
used, often proves disappointing if APP
piled after Inflammation has developed,
and the user runs the risk of lead pois-
oning if this substance is applied ex-
tensively.
The names ''poison oak" and poison
ivy" are used INTERCHANGEABLE in many
localities. The plant generally known
as poison oak throughout the Pacific
coast occurs as bush, sometimes four
or five feet high, and has leaflets re-
sembling the leaves of the western oak
but it is also found as vine, and is
sometimes called poison ivy.
In the east from New Jersey, Della
ware and Virginia southwark the name
poison oak" is often used to distin-
guish from the poison ivy vine, form
occurring as bush with lobed leaflets,
little resembling the leaves of scrub
oak. Westward from Minnesota, Ne
braska, and Arkansas to Washington,
Montana, Colorado and New Mexico,
this name is applied to a low bush or
trailing shrub which does not climb.
The leaves of all forms have stout
rather long stems. bearing three leaf
lets, two of which are opposite, and
short stalked, while the third has a
long stalk. The leaflets are from one
to four inches long, dark green on the
upper surface, lighter sometimes with
a velvety covering of fine hairs) un-
derneath, with smooth or somewhat
indented margins.
In the eastern states and westward
as far as Wyoming to Texas, the vir-
ginia creeper is found generally in the
same location as poison ivy vine,
which it resembles somewhat in it's
habits and the shape of its leaflets, but
it can be readily distinguished from
poison ivy in that it's leaves are divided
into three to five leaflets to the stalk.
Moreover, though it is sometimes sup
ported by aerial rootlets, like poison
ivy, it also has numerous tendrils like
those of the grape vine, and its in
edible fruits are blue, with red stems,
and contain two or three seeds.
Poison sumac grows in moist ground
usually in swamps or along low, miry
banks of streams and ponds. 1t oc.

Bolshevik Prisoners of War Sow Seeds
of Revolt Among Troops

Observation-Disclosures advices and
official statements relative to the
mutiny of Polish troops at Kovno show
discrepancies which tend to confuse
the public as to the real situation
there.
1t is reported in official quarters the
revolt has been completely suppressed,
but messages to newspapers declare
the trouble is continuing and that the
uprising has in many cases taken on
bolshevik characteristics.
1t is said several hundred bolshevik
prisoners of war have been released
by insurgent Polish soldiers, who later

and criminals are easily reproduced by
this instrument which works almost
automatically. 1t carries lights for the

lens which is always in sharp focus
when the instrument is held against

HOW TO GET GOLD FROM LEAD
Oxford University Professor Gives Tip
on How to Take 1t from
Mercury, Too.

London.-The alchemists' dream of
producing gold from base metals is not
extravagant, asserted Prof. Frederick
Soddy of the physical chemistry de-
partment at Oxford, in a recent publ
cation.
He tells how to do it.
",To get gold from mercury" he says,
'expel from the atom of mercury one
beta-particle, which will make thai
lium; then one alpha-particle, which
will turn the thallium into gold. Or,
to get gold from lead, expel from the
atom of lead one alpha-particle, which
will turn 1T into mercury, and proceed
as before"
