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.

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.

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 view. 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 ties as a leper .and naked to be trnn-ported to Molokai.

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 human iu then- aspect. The nursing proc 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 holding tlie heads of both above water, r.nd w hen disturla-d suddenly diving ami displaying her fishlike tail—these, togeth 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 but imperfectly described by naturalists is the contradictory accounts of it given by scientists.
