Fermanganate of Pot *• b Demonstrates Its
Mastery Over Morphine of an Equal
Amount—Poisons. No .Matter How Ad
ministered. Beach the Stomach.
Dr. William Moor, the discoverer of the
new antidote for morphine, is experiment
ing with strychnine, cocaine and other
poisons.
Dr. Moor has demonstrated by staking
his life upon it that the ]>enuanganate
will iustuntly counteract all the poisonous
effects of morphine. When Le took three
grains of the poison, against the protests
of 12 physicians, he demonstrated not only
the success of his antidote, which lie took
immediately afterward, but proved that it
was a new discovery to the medical profes
sion.
Dr. Moor is 28 years old. He is tall,
with a black mustache and a restless, en
ergetic manner. He has all the enthusiasm
of an inventor Poisons are his playthiugs
and experiment his amusement. Hu is an
Austrian by birth, studied two years in
Berlin and one in Paris and is a graduate
of the College of Physicians and Surgeons
in this city. He has been in practice a lit
tle over three years.
Dr. Moor was asked how his attention
came to lie called to permanganate of pot
ash. He said it had always been a favor
ite with hitn when as a boy he performed
chemical experiments. “It is very pretty
to look at,” said he. Then be took a pill
made of the permanganate and put it in a
glass of water. When he touched it with
a spoon, it turned the whole glass to a rich
purple color, like that of a fine Burgundy.
This showed that the drug, which usually
comes in dark purple, needlelike crystals,
is easily soluble.
“I will show you how it affects mor
phine,” said Dr. Moor. Then he took a
little bottle of sulphate of morphine. He
poured out a grain of morphine. This he
dissolved in a half glass of water. It was
colorless. The reporter, who tasted it,
found It intensely bitter. “Now watch
the effect,” said Dr. Moor. He poured the
colorless morphine solution into the glass
containing the beautiful purple liquid.
The liquid immediately turned a dirty
black, like ink, and the color at once be
gan to precipitate in fine particles toward
the bottom of the glass.
“Now taste it,” said Dr. Moor.
It was tasteless. The bitterness had all
disappeared, showing that the morphine
had been instantly annihilated by contact
with the permanganate of potash. The
liquid at the top began to get clearer. The
fine black particles in five minutes formed
a thick layer, and all the rest looked like
pure water. This residuum is black man
ganese dioxide, a harmless substance.
“That is the way it acts in the human
stomach,” said Dr. Moor. “The morphine
or any of the salts of opium is at once ren
dered harmless by contact witli the per
manganate. The antidote at once seeks
the poison, passing by the other substances.
The soluble salt of morphine is acted upon
by the antidote 75,000 times quicker than
albumen and several thousand times quick
er than pepton.”
“How did you find this out?”
“I experimented upon the white of egg, '
said Dr. Moor. “That is pure albumen.
It is converted into pepton by the action
of pepsin. Pepton is the chief rival of the
permanganate, because pepton is soluble
in water and permanganate of potash acl9
most quickly on soluble substunces. You
Lave seen the demonstration which I Lave
just given
“Tbeetfeet of the permanganate on mor
phine is instantaneous, as you see. But
for purposes of calculation I estimate it as
occupying a second. Theu I watch the ef
fect of permanganate of potash on white
of egg and calculate the time until the ef
fect is produced. It is infinitely slower —
75,900 times slower. Thus I knew that the
permanganate would seek the morphine
and not the pepton in the stomach.”
“But thut is only theoretical. Did you
have no practical test before you took the
three grains of morphine yourself?” he was
asked.
“Ob, yes," said Dr. Moor. “I tried it
on a couple of rabbits i y hypodermic in
jections, administering the same quantity
of morphine to each. J ii the one which 1
gave the antidote tLe temperature remain
ed normal. In the other it fell to 16. Then
I began trying it on myself, taking first an
eighth of a grain, theu a quarter, then a
half, theu three-quarters. When I took the
antidote, there was uo apparent effect. 1
never took as much as three grains at one
time uutil 1 gave my demonstration before
the west side German clinic. Dr. Gottbeil
was very much frightened. I told him I
would just as lief take six grains. Almost
auy quantity of morphine would be harm
less if a similar quantity of the antidote
vfere taken.
“Professor Hitzig in Germany a year or
two ago proved that poisons of all kinds,
no matter how administered, find their
way to the stomach. Thus a snake poison
received in the leg or a hypodermic injec
tion of morphine in the arms begins to get
into the stomach within a few seconds.
Professor Hitzig found that one-half the
poison will get into the stomach witbin
an hour The same is true of poisons re
ceived through the stomach, which pass
back to the stomach again. So it follows
that permanganate of potash, if adminis
tered while a person is still alive, begins
at once to destroy the poison. It should
be administered ill successive doses, say at
intervals of 20 minutes. 1 do not claim,
however, that atropine should uot also be
administered hypodermically. Everything
should be doue to maintain the heart's
action.”
Dr. Moor is hopeful that the power of
the permanganate in killing poison ex
tends to pol»ous other than those derived
from opium. Cocaine is one of the sub
stances with which he is experimeuting in
addition to strychnine and atropine. He
knows from experiment that the effects of
permanganate upon these substances is
different from that upon morphine and in
the case of strychnine 1» very much slower.
He said yesterday that he did not know
that it Lad ever been ascertained what
was the active principle of a rattlesnake’s
poison. “I am going to experiment with
the rattlesnake, however,” said he. “If
the poison gets into the stomach, there
ought to be a way of reaching it, as is
done with morphine.”—New York World
The attorney fur a long time Lad been
hying to account for this seeming telep
athic communication between tbu two
young ladies. Yesterday Le tLought he
would make a test of the matter, ami call
ing his stenographer be said, “I want you
to takedown thisarricleof agreement and
give it to Miss Blank to transcribe.” He
then dictated a lengthy anil technical doc- '
liment, trying to make it as difficult as
possible.
The stenographer took it down and then
went to her machine and began operating
it. The attorney watched her closely amt
saw that Bhe never Btoppel her work. He ;
waited for a half hour, then he turned to ;
liis typewriter and said:
“Miss So-and-so, I think yon have for
gotten to give Miss Blank that dictation
1 gave you for her.”
“Oh, no,” replied the young lady. '
“Mias Blank has it finished and waiting
for you out there.”
This nonplused the attorney. He was
sure his private stenographer bad nut left
thu room and did not see how it could be
possible for such * complicated agreement
to be transferred by telepathic communi
cation. He went out to Miss Blank, who
handed him the agreement completed. The
attorney could not contain himself any
longer as he said: “Miss Blank, I have
been noticing something strange for the
past month. Will you tell me liow you
receive my instructions from Miss So-and-
so without Ler leaving my room? Here
you have transcribed a very difficult dic
tation, and I am sure you have had no
communication with her.” The young
lady began to smile aud said:
“Mr.------, you should not be so sure '
that we have had uo communication. We
can converse with each other when the
door is open just as well as if we were in
the same room. No, it’suot thought trans
fereuce, but plain telegraphy. You see,
Miss So-and-so aud I have learned telegra
phy recently, aud we practice in this way.
“We found the space bars of our type
writers made perfect telegraph keys, so
thut we can send messages just as well as
with a regular telegraph instrument. So
it’s not so mysteroiua alter all.”
Tlie young lady showed her employer
the manner of sending a message, and be
began to think how easily some mysterious
incidents could Le explained if w e only
knew the truth.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Sang Hie Father Out of Jail.
Little Davie Connelly, the sweet voiced
lad who is known all over the Pacific
coast, sung his father out of jail iu the
Spokaue police court once. David Connel
ly, Sr., bad been arrested for being tlruuk
and had been liued «1 aud costs by Judge
Miller. Then Davie appeared. Inspector
Gough was au admirer of the lad, aud so
was Prosecutor Plattor.
At tLeir request the little fellow sang in
a voice of affecting sweetness, “Kiss and
Let’s Make Up.” Judge Miller listened,
aud when he had concluded asked his
name.
“Davie Connelly,” said the lad.
“Why—ahem—who’s yon r father? ” a»k-
ed the judge, with a suspicion of tender
ness in his voice.
“Why, he’s the man you just sent to
jail,” said the little fellow.
"I think we ha J better let the father go
for the boy’s sake,” said Mr. Plattor.
“Siug'My Mother’s Picture,’ ” suggest
ed Inspector Gongb, and the boy sang
with tender emotion the appeal of the child
nut to sell bis mother’s portrait. It was
a sweet, pathetic refrain that brought
emotions to the heart.
“Does your father get drunk often?”;
asked the judge as he looked sympathetic
ally at the little singer.
“No, sir. This is the first time in a\
year,” he replied. “And, judge, if you
will let him go, I ll work at the Louvre
next week aud bring you the money for
bis fine.”
“Yon? Why, what do you earn?’
“Seventeen dollars and a half a week,”
replied Davie. And in another minute it
was arranged, and the parent was allowed
to go —Portland Oregonian.
An Oddity of Skin Grafting.
After a series of observations extending
over n period of 12 years and experiment
ing on 23 individuals of both sexes and
of opposite colors Professor Thiersch of
Leipsic Las given the following as the
result; If a piece of negro’sskin isgrafted
on tLe flesh ot a white loan or woman, the
transplanted piece, as soou as it begins to
properly adhere, gradually changes in col
or and texture until it becomes indistin
guishable from tliat of the surrounding
cuticle, the process of change usually occu
pying a period of from 92 to 112 days to
make the complete transforniaiton. On
tLe other Land, when the skin of a white
person is grafted to the flesh of a negro,
the change, which it has already been ad
mitted finally takes place, is not nearly so
rapid, usually occupying a period of up
ward of a year. As to texture, it can
be truly said that the white piece, though
it changes to nil appearance to real negro
skin, is never as fine and soft as its ebony
surroundings.
The question now arises: Should further
experiment prove this to lie true beyond a
doubt, will the belles of the future have
their faces denuded and patched up with
negro skin in order to give them a fash
ionable texture?—St. Louis Republic.

“How long were you with him?”
■‘About a year. Went home with him
and was made same as one of his own fam
ily. He lived at Lima, O. My experience
with him put an idea into my head—a
business idea, for a wonder—and the next
year I went down to Anderson and went
into partnership with a yoitug fellow to
travel, organizing tt scheme of advertising
with paint, which we called ‘The Graphic
company.’ We had five or six young fel
lows, all musicians as well as handy paint
ers, and we used to capture the towns with
our music. One fellow could whistle like
a nightingale, another sang like an angel,
and another played the banjo. I sculiled
with tho violin and guitar.
“Our only dissipation was clothes. We
dressed loud. You could hear our clothes
au incalculable distance. We had un idea
it helped business. Our plan was to take
one firm of each business in a town, paint
ing its advertisements on every road lead
ing into the town, ‘Go to Mooney’s,’ and
things like that, you understand. We
made a good thing at it.”
“How long did you do business?”
“Three or four years, and we had mere
fun than anybody.” He turned another
comical look on me over his pinch nose
eyeglasses “You’ve heard this story about
my traveling nil over the states as a blind
sign painter. Well, that started this way:
One day we were in * small town some
where, and u great crowd watching us in
breathless wonder and curiosity, and one
of our party said, ‘Riley, let me introduce
you as a blind sign painter.’ So just for
devilment I put on a crazy look in the eyes
aud pretended to be blind. They led me
carefully to the ladder and handed me inv
brush aud paints. It was great fuu. I’d
hear them saying us 1 worked, ‘That, feller
ain't blind.’ ‘Yes, he is. See liis eyes.’
‘No, he ain’t, I tell you—lie’s playin off.’
‘I tell you he is blind. Didn’t you see him
full over a box there and spill all his
paints?’ ”
Riley rose here and laughingly re-enact
ed the scene, and I don’I, wonder that the
villagers were deceived, ”1 perfect was bis

blind person.—Hamlin Garland in Mc

Woolen Materials.
Woolen materials are always more por
ous than linen fabrics, and it is mainly
owing to this fact that the one is warmer
than the other. Air in common with gas
eous bodies generally 19 an extremely bad
conductor ot heat, but this property can
not be easily demonstrated, owing to the
extreme mobility of particles of air. If
such motion be hindered or retarded, the
conductivity of air becomes very small. We
make use of this property of air in various
ways. It we wish to keep a liquid warm,
it is placed in a vessel and surrounded by
shavings, straw and the like, which entan
gle large volumes of air in their meshes.
A more obvious illustration is afforded
by double windows, which are often used
in cold climates to keep rooms warm The
tffect is really due to the nonconducting
layer of air interposed between them. It
is for the same reason that two shirts are
warmer than one of the same material, but
of double the thickness. The Chinese and
Japanese adopt the plan of wearing many
layers of clothing, each layer being formed
almost exactly like its fellow. By dimin
ishing or increasing the number of layers
the wearers protect themselves against the
vicissitudes of climate.—Fortnightly Re

guage. But it was a duty Ragsdale loved,
and its performance was a source of con
stant delight to the foreign members and
spectators. His method was to interpret
every two or three sentences, and he would
sometimes suavely interrupt a nat ive strug
gling in an impassable labyrinth of gut
turals and leave him thero in speechless
amazement, while be launched into an el
oquent address on tlie beauties of a moon
light rainbow or some other equally unre
lated eubject. Or a gray haired member
from Walklpoo might arise in his place
and explode a few gutturals w hich were
to the effect that one of his oxen had been
drowned in the Littpelakua ford, and he
wanted to know when the government pro
posed to bridge that creek. Ragsdale would
rise, bow to the member and proceed dra
matically in some such manner as this:
“The distinguished and eloquent mem
ber from Waikipoo desires to direct the at
tention of the honorable members towhat
he aptly characterizes as their lamentable
lapse from that high sense of duty which
must distinguishes the patriot ftom the
politician. Not since <he regretted days
of KamehameLa 1 of glorious memory,
whose warclub was as the thunderbolt
and whose canoes shimmered o'er the wa
ters like the mysterious lights which bea
con the spray as it dashes across the coral
reef, not since ike taboo was by royal edict
placed od the religion of our forefathers
and wo all b.-ratne Christians by ukase,
not sinoe the enemies r.f the great Kame-
hameha flod in affright np the valley of the
Nuuanu, r.nd fearing death Jess than the
wrath of their pursuer llung themselves
over the Pali,where their bones in fantastic
disarray strew the cruel rocks even now;
nut since the juice of the ava first made thé
Bailors of Captain Cook delirious with joy,
not since then has there been on all these
islands a Kanaka so mad as «vas tlie hon
orable gentleman from Waikipoo when hie i
off ox sank in tbe treacherous sands where
purl the waters of the Ulupelakua. ”
Then the members, delighted to bear
that so little Hawaiian would make so
much English, would utter a few more
sentences.
Ragsdale in pretending to interpret this
would attribute to the native the latest
good story the interpreter had probably
heard on board some foreign man-of-war.
When he had finished ids story, he would
inform the member that he was out of or
der, as the river anil harbor improvement
bill was not before the house; thattheonly
bill before the house was Bill Ragsdale
He Lad many foppish eccentricities in
dress, so no particular notice was taken
when Ragsdale began wearing one glove
constantly, even while Interpreting
He furnished an explanation of that
when he gave himself up to the authori

to Molokai. The fatal disease was mani
fest only on that band he had kept gloved.
Through th.at band a knife might have
been run without Ragsdale feeling it
He went to Molokai, where he lived sev

That good priest gave testimony that Rage

have even manufactured a hideous hcui -
blance to a woman lisli, and great paint
ers have deigned to commit to canvas their
conception of tlie siren. The unattractive,
motherly dugong was tlie cause of it all.
lhe dugong forms the connecting link
between the real whale and the seals aud
walruses. Like the whale, the animal has
no hind feet, bur a powerful horizontal
tail. Its anterior extremities are more
flexibly jointed than those of the whale,
and this is a distinguishing characteristic
between the two animals. The dugong is
said to have attained a length of 20 feet.
The specimen at the academy is nearly 7
feet long and has been very well preserved.
In appearance the animal resembles the
manatee, or sea cow. Its upper lip is large,
thick and fleshy, and its snout is like the
trunk of an elephant cut short across.
\\ hen the dugong is nursing its young,
its breasts are enlarged so as to be almost

ess is carried on by the mother above wa
ter. The baliy dugong is pressed against
the exposed breast with one of mauima
dugong’s flippers, and iu this position the
animal swims horizontally through the
water, using her remaining flipper to pro
I>el herself along. It is this singular char
acteristic of tiie animal that has given
rise to the fable cf the nnrmaid.
Sir Janies Emerson Teuuent, the emi
nent naturalist, says: “The rude approach
to the human outline observable iu tlie
shape of the bead of this creature and the
attitude cf tho mother while suckling her
yotiug, holding it to her breast with one
flipper, and while swimming with the oth

er with her habitual demon-.irations of
strong maternal affection, probably gave
rise to the fable of tlie mermaid
Ten-
nent traces the origin of the myth to the
gilt edged tales of early Arabian sailors
who had watched the strange antics of the
dugong in tho waters of the Manaar.
Still another characteristic of theanirnal
that contributes to its immortalization in
mythology and heraldry is the peculiarly
humanlike, plaintive cry which it gives
when its young is imperiled or becomes de
tached from its motherly but inusculai
hold. According to Rnopell, it was with
the skin of Ibis mammal that the Jews
were directed to veil the temple.
The best proof that the dugoughas beeu

the contradictory accounts of it given by
