In an address before the Society g of Illuminating Engincers in Lon- 4 nn - your don, Mi P. Trotter said that the only practical production of "artificial daylight'? with which he is acquainted has been achieved by | 4, Mr. Cooper in the experiment room * of the Brighton Railway. It is done by passing the rays from an acety- lene-lamp through a bright-blue screen. The resulting light gives a spectrum that cannot 'be distin- guished from that of daylight. It is not economical, because the screen absorbs half the light of the lamp, but 'it solves the problem so far as effect on the eyes is concern- ed. Where economy is no object, says Mr. Trotter, a similar result may be obtained without regard to the source of the light, provided that a suitable screen is used. a NEVER BE WITHOUT BABY'S OWN TABLETS Mothers, if you wish to guard the health of your little ones against e sudden outbreaks of those ail- ments peculiar to childhood, always keep a supply of Baby's Own Tab- lets on hand.

Evidence was brought that Fraulein von ler had, in the presence of t girl, spoken slanderously of a Minister and a Princess of the Bavarian Court, and that Minna had ventur- ed to remonstrate. Here was a mo- tive for the crime; but there was no proof that the accused had ever such a poison as muriatic acid in her possession. Over 100 wit- nesses were called, and the trial lasted a whole fortnight. But the evidence was _ inconclu- sive, and eventually a von Haussler was dischar THE FATAL sek Two years ago, a wealthy Phila- delphia physician, Dr. William H. Wilson, met his death in a myster- ious fashion. One day he received by post # bottle of bear, with a let- ter, from a brewery, asking him to sample their new bre He was sitting at Boner when the packet arrived, with his wife and enucren: "Let us see what it is " he said. He swallowed a stasahil, Then, as his wife was ab- out to fill a glass, he dashed the bottle out of her hands. "It's poisoned !" he cried, and, rushing out of the room towards. his sur- gery, fell on the floor and died be- fore any antidote could be admin- istered. The brewery denied all knowledge of the letter; and, known in society was suspected of the crime, it was never brought home to her. One day in February, two years ago, the wife of Dr. Vitolo, resid- ing at Olevano, in the province of Salerno, in Italy, received a yfrcel containing a packet of sweets and a letter signed "Muzio Mattace,' oy ing that in memery of old times, he sent the present, which was to divided among the family. 099.4J9q PIPLAIP O19 87I9NS OY, the two children--a girl of nine and a boy of three.

When the. dovtor came home and saw the letter, he said he knew Mattace, but that he was not in Italy, whereas the box had been posted in Naples, THE POLICE SET TO WORK, and discovered that on the day the sweets were posted a man stayin at a certain hotel in Naples had sent out a boy to buy some sweets. Later in the day, a man--presum- ably the same--had given a strect- boy a small coin to post a packet for 1im. When the boy came out of the post-office the man had vanished. And that was the end of it. Though they arrested several people, they never traced the criminal. The last occasion upon which the police unearthed any exetnsive poisoning conspiracy. in this coun- try was in the late 'nineties. gang of conscienceless a are known to have commit least three,dozen murders upon in. dividuals whose lives were insured for sums aggregating over $750,000. The head of the gang was accustom- ed to attach himself to young *hen of means in the capacity of valet or courier. He had a most extensive mecesecee of poisons, and_ those which he used were among the ones least known to science.
