Morphia is a very common poison,
but Its presence is easy to detect by
the chemist. With no great difficulty
he can detect the presence Of even
one-twenty-thousandth part Of a grain |
The usual residue having been OBJ
tanned, an addition Of iodlc acid is
made, and then, should morphia be
present, the whole at once turns blue
when a little starch-paste is added.
Alternatively,, chloride Of zinc may be
added, and the mixture, when heated,
produces a beautiful and lasting green
color.

Didn't Work Right

Two of my young friends, newly
weds from the city, moved on q farm
to begin their married life. They de-
cided to raise chickens. Ten hens
were SET carefully on fifteen eggs
apiece in boxes side by side and as
carefully nailed in.
At the end of three weeks the
young bride eagerly undiG the first
hen. fully expecting to see a nest of
fluffy chicks. To her horror the hen
VAS dead and not an egg plpped. IN
believing, each hen was looked at, but
all had met the same fate. 1t was a
sad but wiser couple when the next
hens were set.-Capper's Weekly.
