quickly thrown off by the system.
The first symptom OF the benzol
poisoning is noisy delirium; the
only remedy is fresh air and arti-
ficial respiration.
Turpentine poisoning is often
wrongly attributed to lead: it is
preventable by good ventilation.
Wood alcohol causes severe
irritation of the eyes and nose.
It is used by the optical trades
in special cleansing fluids, with
other substances, such as banana
oil. Although the latter has been
blamed for the poisoning it is
quite harmless. Grain alcohol
does not produce this irritation.
Acid and alkali burns grow
steadily worse under ordinary
treatment, such as carron oil or
b0ric ointment, both of which
coat the. burn and prevent the
poison from being removed.
Acid burns should be treated
with per cent solution Of
bicarbonate of soda, baking soda,
and alkali burns by a 3 per cent
solution of acetic acid (vinegar)
Alkali wounds give much trou-
bic and should be bathed for
very long time with changes of
lotion. Vinegar is as good as
acetic acid; use equal parts of
vinegar and water.
Alkaline agents are used in
finishing leather, especially pat
ent leather shoes. Workers with
them should wash the hands fire.
quently with diluted acetic acid.
Alkaline cyanide solutions are
much used in the jewelry and
watch making trade and in silver
plating. They cause an eczema
like eruption wherever they come
in contact with the skin. Here
again, acetic acid and not eczema
treatment is the remedy. Since
carbolic acid is only slightly
soluble in water, it is useless
for washing the burns it causes.
Alcohol, however. will remove
it very quickly, and in manufac-
turing plants where it is used
there should always be a good
supply of some form of denatured
alcohol

WONDERFUL
COLORING

INSIGNIFICANT and unworthy
i of consideration as the snail
undoubtedly is to the casual OBJ
server. there are hidden away in
the coiled shell wonders Of colora-
ton, of construction, of mechan-
ism. One of these wonders is the
methods employed by snails for
the careful depositing of their
eggs. These are often provided
with special means of protection
and given fairy cradles to dwell
in.
One mother snail sometimes
matches 10000 eggs or more, an
other may produce only few
eggs.
The most curious method of
egg protection is that adopted oy
the marine flesh-eating molluscs.
They enclose their eggs In horny
capsules or purses, each purse
containing varying number IF
ova. These purses are often
united in a single mass.

Acting as secretary to a dusky Afri.

known as 'the Black Napoleon" was
one of the adventures Of Dan Craw-
ford. a noted English missionary, whose
death on June 3 at Yaunza in the Con
go Free State became known recently.
Crawford attached himself several
years ago to the caravan of King Mus
hidi, the number of whose wives en-
titled him to be known as ''the Black
Solomon" but whose bloody battles won
him a comparison to Napoleon.
Mushidi took such a fancy to CraW-
ford that he refused to allow him to de-
part and forced him to act as royal
secretary. While in this position CraW-
ford obtained pardons for 100 condemn
ed natives. He was rescued when a
detachment of BeIgians arrived at Mu-
shidi's capital.
Crawford later lived for years among
other African tribes and in 1910 trans
