'M MOST DEADLY POISON.
Three Grains Would Mil Many 'Per-
sons.
A new and. most 'deadly poison has
been disconhied recently, as noted in a
scientific journal, by Mr, Lascelles
Scott, an :Englishman. The substance
is smentifically known as dienethylax-
sine cyanide, or more familiarly as
mail& of cacodyl. Three grains of tins
substance diffused in a room full of
people would kill all present. It is a
white powder, 'melting at 33 degrees,ad
boiling at 140 degrees. When exposed.
to the air it emits a slight vapor, to in-
hale -which is death. After trying its
effect upon animals Mr. Scotf experi-
enced the deadly nature of this poison.
One-millioneth part of cyanide of
cacodyl in the atmosphere of an air-
tight cage killed a dog almost instan-
taneously, and. then its power was by
no means exhausted, for a second, third
and fourth dog placed in the sane cage
instantaneously died from the' effect of
that single infinitesimal dose. Although
so little of the properties of this poison
are known, it was first made' many
years wee Cadet the famous French
chemist,uby combinhig acetate of potas-
sium with 'white arsenic, produced. a
fuming liquid, which, although he did
not know it, was oxide of moody'. The
German chemist, Bunsen, combined this
with cyanogen, a radical of prussic acid,
and made eyanhle of cacodyl

Way to Curb It.
The vicar of St. Paul's, Seotforth,
Lancashire, says the London Mail, has
Welted suggestions from his congrega-
tion for the curtailment of opeortuni-
• ties for courting ir church.
One member of the congregation has
proposed that offenders should be placed
in seats nearer the pulpit, and the
vicar's own remedy is the drafting of a
"black list," The curate hinted at a
separation of the sexes, 11,ncl mentions
that he has even heard of photographs
being handed about by young pople in
Cichleivricelet;

certainly thought it a duty
to restrain the practices as far as pos-
sible, and finally two laymen were ap-
pointed to .discuss and recommend pre-

CHURCH IdElVIDERS SCORED.
That the churches have lost immensely
in membership and influence by the neg-
/cot of their soeial mission Is a feet
upon which all the best and most com-
petent observers and students of modern
religious conditions agree. In some
marks to a fainday seliool lass the
other day, Mr. john D. Rockefeller dwelt
noon this deplorable lack of soeiabilita
in the churches, statihg that his Wife bad
gone te 11church for eighteen years with-
out ever having had a word apoken to
her. That experience, WO believe, could
be delineated in many instance:1, espec-
ially in the larger 'city eonmgatione. It
is mart true that the church is, not
designated primarily as it social dub;

"CHILD OF PEACE."
Why a Princess of Hesse Was Known
as "Friendenskind." -
Princess Henry of Prussia, says the
London Graphic, is a daughter of that
doughty soldier, Prince Louis of Hesse,
who invited all the °facers end men
of the cavalry brigade be commanded
'during the war of 1800 to stand spon-
sors to the little girl born during that
stormy period. The christening did not
take place until peace was proclaimed,
and the princess, in the presence of a
good number of her 4,000 godfathers, re-
ceived the name of "Irene," signifying
"Peace," and was known as "Friendens-
kind," or "the child of peace." The prince
and princess have recently experienced
the grief of losing their four-year-old
son, Prime Henty, through the &Teets
of an accident, caused by a fall when
jumping from one 'chair to another in
his nursery.

application was refused by the author-

BILSIARD'S IN A LION'S CAGE.
Ipswich, in England, Was recently the
scene of an extraordinary billiard match.
The manager of a circus offered to play
any one in the lions' cage, and. an ama-
teur'well known in that part of Eng-
land, accepted the challenge. Conse-
quently a table was placed in the cagci
and at the appointed hour the game
began in the presence of an innuense
crowd. The only other person in the
cage was a woman, who is skilled in
taming animals. She carefully watched
the nine or ten lions as they deed° to
and, fro, but her vigilance was appal!.
ently unnecessary, for the animals did
not the slightest attention to the
pl
The manager won the game, but the
applause which, greeted him was not
more hearty than that which was ac-
corded to the amateur, who had showe
such rare courage in veeturing unarmed
into a. cage of lions.
