The Appeal

WHERE THE SNOWSLIDE STARTS. Lake Louise, thirty miles west of the entrance to the main northern Rockies, is an ideal spot for observing the ways of a snake, a lizard, a snake shutting off all view to midheavens, runs sheer across one end of the lake, in a continuous, horizontal sky line, like an arched vertical lines are etched the scorings of numerous avianales, that shoot over the left of Mount Victoria are Castle Craigs and Lefroy, massive with snow of the Rockies, behind the left peaks is a giant bastion, guarding the way to Paradise valley, granite pile, towering high above the clouds in an almost straight ascent, lined rock, striped, green and chalked, granite pile, towering high above avianales. On all these peaks avalanches may be seen during the entire day, exactly a mountain of any altitude whose forested flanks do not show the snake that has swept from summit to bogs. It is when the heat of early summers reaches the lower slopes, loosening the fountainheads, fields along the peaks, that avalanches are most active and frequent. As the sun sets, the temperature drops the best time to watch the snow torches finging down from airy heights to abdominal depths. On Mount Victoria, for instance, in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, different avalanches have been seen. Smaller volumes of snow-pour down as the sun sets on the south side of Mount Temple, and from the north side of Castle Craigs and Lefroy—edges that from a distance seem only a few feet away. The vertical measurements are from 200 to 300 vertical meters, giving tremendous momentum. Then the snow is shattered into a thousand fragments against projecting ledges and crashes into the air for an hour after the fall. OTHER CAUSES POTENT The same course is not always followed. A sudden heat sometimes frees an accumulation at an unexpected point, and a snowfall can row for itself down the scared mountainside. Where buttresses flanking the bore or an upspits snowmelt converge into a snowbank, and the snowmade channel is usually taken, but the same field may discharge itself down a slope. Each side. However eratic the course of an avalanche may be, its trail, is unmistakable. Snow blades against the far-distant upper snowscreeed on the lower slopes by a cleanout swath through the forests, leaving a new growth. Howdlers and blilocks and brush may line the trail, but a clean sweep from snow to valley marks the Too close range would, of course, mea- death to the observer, not necessarily be- he would be hurled away in the which he would be hurled away in the mine- chest of snow and jewelers, cause of the strange arm, spheric con- tions created by the avalanche. This condition in mountainous regions is familiar. These conditions may also account for the sharp, pistol-like report a frequently heard velocity of an avalanche is inconceivably rapid. To obtain accurate record would seem the question. But these facts seem factual, and the velocity of an avalanche is inconceivably rapid. Avalanches seen by people in the valley, at a distance of five, seven swifty, though they were seen distinctly starting downward, that people pew- could not get five yards out of their way in the valley, but in the valley have been killed by avalanches death has frequently resulted from a blow, but from suffocation. Intentional Duplicate Exposure and not from suction ion from smothering, but by the instantaneous creation of an atmospheric vacuum and the suddens perchance of water to take too great risks, and two years ago a prospect or living in a hut at the foot of a range so steep he must have known his chances was caught in his hut up bodily, swept it in the o valley and carried it 300 feet up the side of the opposite mountain. Except that when he was sleeping in the logs at each end slightly bulged in by compression of air, the hut was undamaged. When a rescue party broke in they found the man sleeping in the face, a knee drawn up and the blankets barely disarranged. Not a hair of his head had been injured. His cheeks had the ruddy glow that a man would see in a watery face, the man was sleeping his death sleep. That a human being could come scathe- less through one of these winters pools of ice as the roaring of Niagara. But the West is essentially the region of the impossible. There one sees the beauty of a cook, and the man who should be cook a cooking like a lord, and mountainers who would been buried in avalanches when spring before aerial tramways and treels had supervised the mule train. A packer was driving a wagon, whining path up one of the high divides, when he came to a spot where there was always dan- dard in an avalanche. He beamed out, the packer held debouching from the upper an- theater just where this swahad had cut through the packer. It was jersey and pine had stopped and the arch began. Owing to the winds it was snow all winter, not a storm, but a soft furry, furry, everlasting furry of snow we knew that trail was dangerous when we so weighted down lots of the branches snap. You see, where the snow had down the mountain was sort of levee, we knew that trail was dangerous when the thaw began we'd make a zig-zag three or four times, we got ween it wasn't so steep. I noticed all the latch trees were bending toward the valley realized what a lot of snow there was. HORSES KNOW THE SIGNS. The packer did not tell that he had been insane three months from the sho k. He had been insane for a long time, swirl and hurled into the valley. The theory—but it is only a theory—is that he was insane. He was insane above the grinding of boulders and drapped in some soft drift at the valley bighorns. That was the only evidence he had been on a slope which was not only swept up by the plowing of enormous boulders. It was known that he had been on the mountain where the snow was not the slightest hope that he could have escaped. Twenty-four air hours in the village, a small village, he wad real homes gesticulating, laughing and singing in a frenzy. MUSICAL ELECTRICAL ARC Tunes Can Now Be Played on Electronic Lights.

DECORATION OF LORD "BOBS" Furnishes a Theme for Bitter Denunciation of England and All Things English-Happenings in Berlin. BERLIN, Feb. 3. The Anglo-German relations are improving, owing to Emperor William's visit to England, form just now the all-en-grossing topic, his majesty's re-entry has been announced, and discussion. The decorating of Lord Roberts with the Order of the Black Eagle and Edward's speech, in which the emperor said he was honored in wearing a Briton's uniform, that emperor would likewise be a honor, have especially aroused keen criticism, which is privately expressed much more freely in private circles of the Order of Lord Roberts with the Order of the Black Eagle, which the officials do not confirm, as regarded being mere ceremonial, but as pressing Emperor William's appreciation of Lord Roberts as a man and as a soldier, unless, it is admitted that he expresses a desire to act, and leaves Anglo-German relations precisely where they were before the incident, unless, it is admitted that he expresses a desire to end the bitterness in the relations of the two countries, which does not benefit the zeitum's comment yesterday evening is GOMEZ GOMEZ: today making the rounds of the German prison. Many Conservative and Agrarian men merely reproduce it without comment. The Kreuzentzutting said: We will see to it that the prisoners receive such a unique mark of Emperor William's distinction, and also why the emperor, after being horribly insulted by the Agrarian regiment, should now show them marked attention." The Kreuzentzutting later Anglo-German, Deutsche Tazewellung (the Agrarian organ), in spite of the fact that the Agrarians now, less than ever, wail when they are preparing to defeat the canal bill a second time and simultaneously demand prohibitive cural dutts; the emperor's behavior in England, based on the idea of closer Anglo-German cooperation with the vast majority of the nation. Whatever comment is made, however, is in curious terms. The Berthier Neuberg, the Agrarian nets and words in England and Ireland, reprints the Kreuzentzutting's remarks, saying there is a "difference between the national nets and words in England and Ireland," Kerrarding the latter, the paper says: ENGLAND'S WEAKNESS. "England is incapacitated from alliances of any sort, because she has been tremendously weakened by the South Africa war. As a military to enter not worthy of serious attention, England, therefore, will not pursue an agreement.

The whole Conservative press continues its warfare against the measure. THE TARIFE. During a debate in the agricultural GEORGE WASHINGTON FOUGHT FOR HIS COUNTRY AND WAS ELECTED FIRST PRESIDENT THEM'S MY SENTIMENTS, E council, Baron von Wangenheim, president of the husbandry society, said in a letter that duties were by no means all that German officials obtain sufficient duties, it was necessary to obtain control of the grain market, source, to fix prices and reduce the between trade to the most necessary limits. The Pressische Jahrbuehrung (a leading conservative political review) has published the Halmar Schacht, on the subject of German trade relations, in which the writer claims it will be necessary to make ready for a tariff war with the United States, that if the United States saw Germany, it had in earnest she couts as so revenge any more terrorist terms, while a more protest laughed at in Washington. The Kreuzung corroborates this statement. The highest Prussian court decided that German officials sale dealer at Kolmar, Prussian, that it is lawful to enforce additional inspections of American meats, bacon, etc., in the country where they are offered for sale after a defectory inspection at the port of entry. SITUATION IN CHINA. Reports from China show that the German missions in the province of Bian Tung, northwest of Taiwan, mandarins assuming the responsibility of protecting them. The report by Chinese regulators on the French is regarded here as showing that the time is not yet irradiated by the withdrawal of French troops, as the Chinese authorities have not been able to understand that the power are actually coming to adjust all questions unambiguely. The latest decision of the foreign minis. at Peking is to be sent to the Chinese commanders in the form of a joint pledge.

SOCIETY MONEY LENDER "SAM" LEWIS, THE MOST NOTED MAN IN HIS BUSINESS IN ENGLAND DID NOT PREY UPON NEEDY Not Entirely Rapacious Nor Heartless, but Uuually Maintained Any Business Intimacy That Had Once Been Established. Sam Lewis might have been called the "prince of users." He belonged to a profession deservedly unpapular, to London Mall, but he was at the head of the business with practitioners of the Gordon type. He did not prey upon the poor and needy, but lived upon the follies of his time. He was a man of money on paper, and every name on it in "Debett," and there is little reason doubt the statement. He was the second young spendthrift who have dragged himself—family names into the bankrupt and other courts here now a little friendly assistance from "Sam" Lewis. He stuck to his own line of business. Time and again he was offered trading hours and peachable character—to discount. He absolutely refused to have anything to do with them. That class of business He was not entirely rapacious, nor altogether aggressive, but he established a monetary connection with a man it was not his fault if the intimacy, usually so satisfactory in its nature, was not established. When once he had made an agreement with a man he kept; him to it to the very letter, the distinction of this is to be found in a letter which Sir George Lewis addressed to, "The Times, in April, 1851, on the subject of the death of Mr. George," note 1848, note Sir George, "a rich Australian sent his son to England to be educated at Cambridge. He had an allowance from the estate of his old. In December, 1884, he made the acquaintance of Samuel Lewis, of Cork street, to whom he gave a large sum, for one for £50, dated Dec. 4, 1884; one for £50, dated Jan. 17, 1885, and one for £50, dated Jan. 18, 1885, for £300. The action, it will be remembered, was brought by Mr. Lewis to recover from a suburban in the Life Guards, the sum of £1,000 odd on two promissory notes, to Lord William Neville, the son of the Marquis of Abergavenny. The defense put on by Mr. Lewis that he was not liable for the loss was that he had the bills without knowing their nature by means of a fraudulent trick procedure it was afterward proved, had covered the main portion of the bills with witness comments during the summing up on the part that "Sam" Lewis had played in the matter. Mr. Lewis had his bills discounting and money lending was not a very popular one, but let them at least be just to those who were still thirty years at the same address in Cork street, and there had been no attempt to show that he deserved other than the man who was honestly engaged." It is typical of the scale upon which the monetary transactions between himself and the man unimbued an amount of some fifty pounds. He was, in fact, rather proud of his work, and the glided youth, whom he learnt to practise his usurious art; and those who knew him well say it will be a great success from them, as from a queer, half-uniform piono of spelling the Esguimna he evolved from a curious and exceptionally perverse nature.

On last Tuesday, all over this country, the anniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln was celebrated. Hundreds of speeches were made, outlogizing the "Great Emancipator." That Lincoln was a preeminently great man no one will deny, but the one great act of his life, which stands out more prominently than all the rest, was his emancipation of the slaves. N.i.w, if this act of Lincoln was noble, so humane, so just, in what glaring contrast are the actions of the people of this country in their treatment of the freedmen. By action of congress and the several states these people were made citizens and were in law and equity entitled to enjoy all the rights and privileges that any other citizens enjoy. But in several of the states they are deprived of the highest right of the citizen, by various subtertigues, and, in every community, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, they are more or less entraged and mistreated. P. THE PRESENT GENERATION. "Johnnie, I hear bad reports of you at school. Now, why don't you—" "See here, ma, don't go preaching. It's not a woman's business; and, any way, one prescher in the family is enough." The list of members of the present cabinet may be searched in vain for the name of any statesman capable of "ilighting the bill." The insurance of Arthur It has always seemed very strange to us to hear men sing the praise of Lincoln as loudly as they do in these annual celebrations of his birthday, and then so continually and persistently act in a manner exactly opposite to that of Lincoln. They value the right to vote—and be voted for—as the capstone of their liberty and citizenship, yet they sit supinely—those who are not personally responsible for the enactment of the unjust laws that deprive one-seventh of the population from their inalienable rights as citizens—and allow these people to be outraged and mistreated in every way imaginable without protest, and, thus, they themselves become partiepscimilis. They tell in the most glowing terms of the advantage and benefits of education, but throw all sorts of obstacles in the way of the Afro-American who wishes to become educated; and, when some of them surmount these obstacles and become educated they deprive them of the advantages and benefits of education. There are Afro-American graduates of Yale, Harvard, Oberlin, Ann Arbor and numerous other institutions of learning, who are today filling the most mental positions because they cannot find opportunities to put their acquired talents to use in higher lines of business. Since writing the foregoing we have received a clipping from an article written by a white man for one of the Chicago dalles which is so apropos that we give it as follows: "Notwithstanding all these drawbacks and the lack of incentive to obtain an education, it is both remarkable and praiseworthy that the colored people are doing so much to educate themselves. It seems as if it comes as much from a real desire to obtain knowledge for its own sake as from the more selfish object to obtain it for the benefit that it can confer. What inducements are there for a colored person to spend much time and labor in obtaining an education when he finds that it will not unlock the doors THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER Balfour and his unwillingness to trouble about anything outside his own imminence, he has been the premier except on Robinson Cruise's island. The strong man of the cabin, Chamberlain, has been the supreme ambition, but he may find an unexpected obstacle in the growing popular notion that the queen has the queer ambition there, will diment in the Unionist party which will insist that whoever may be prime minister, it shall be Balfour. "A few who complete the high-school course, supplemented by college or university training, may go forth as teachers of their own race or establish themselves in business in the North. But for the majority of the boys and girls who complete the grammar grades in the public schools there are waiting what occupations? For the girls, positions as lady's maids, children's nurse, hair dresser, or laudress; for the boys positions as waiters, porters, or day laborers. No traction company in the city will employ them; they cannot become clerks, bookkeepers, or stenographers. A few hold government positions, and there are five or six teachers out of the thousands employed by our city." Does not this substantiate the statements we made? We like to see people practice what they preach and we would like to see these people who speak of, and those who applaud the speeches wherein the virtues of Lincoln are extolled, emulate his example. We want no special favors or privileges, but only a white man's chance among white men.

An Interesting Letter F. from Sau Fernando de la Union Stating Many facts not Hitherto Generally Known in This Country SPECIAL TO THE APPEAL Luzan, P. I., Jan. 5, 1901. A long time ago, undoubtedly elapse before the character of the Archipelago will be fully known. My own opportunities for gathering information have been excellent. As the regiment is stretched to cover this department, it will attest to orders per telegraphic instructions. I have been acting as commissary purchaser of fresh beef, which necessitate my taking extra trips to different provinces for the purchase of same. I spent three weeks in the Island of Negroes and another two weeks in the island of Vizibu Llan. I derived much information from natives as to localities I was unable to visit. In invariably one of the first questions that people ask about the Philippines When in San Francisco, Cal., prior to embarkation I learned from various ex-soldiers and sojourners in the Archipelago many different opinions on this subject, which, however, is not a good idea. The climate of Manila is almost identical with that of Santiago de Cuba. It seems less uncomfortable to most people than July and August in Chicago, because the climate is a very different one. Men can change to fear. Men can, and do habitually dress in the lightest of underclothing, wearing over it only a thin unlined duck coat and trousers; and in as much as the variations are encountered, one soon becomes accustomed to The mean temperature of the year 1900 was about 80 degrees F. The cool season (the present time) lasts from June to September, and the cool months the rainfall is very small, only occasional thunder showers. The hot season includes March, April and May, the last being the hottest month. The cool season end in June with the exception of May, when the rainfall and the beginning of the rains, which last till about November 31st. July 31st to August 8th, 1900, it rained with the exception of May, when it is maintained in our showers at home; for only 6 or 10 minutes. The total rainfall during the entire wet season is about 180 inches, of the total rainfall, of the staple of the Filipinos is lowland rice and the population is densest in those half-flooded areas, where campaigning during the wet season is extremely difficult. I am aware of this from experience. On the 30th of July I left Baleacen de la Union with a detachment of 11 men and one corporal to excort raions native lighter for shallow waters). Rain set in on the evening of the 30th and continued, day and night for 228 successive hours. Nearly all of the raions were sent to an extent such an extent that a board of survey was appointed by the department commander upon their arrival at Tenerife. This is why our army attempted and effected so little from June 1st to October 1st, 1899. All the larger towns of the Philippines are on the coast on the seacast but some of the mountainous regions are also settled. Where the altitude is from 3,000 to 4,000 feet, as in the province of Bengal, the temperature is magnificent, shaking as 1cw as 29 degrees in the evening and early morning, and rising no higher than 75 degrees. This region is only Whenever practicable we sleep under mosquito nets and although they are not very troublesome it is a safeguard and a comfort. In our campaign the prevalent disease is dengyess and allied disorders, some small pox. Insanity from excessive drinking is very prevalent among the troops in the Orient. The U. S. A. transport, Hancock, sailed on the Pacific, the San Francisco, Cal., with 125 insane soldiers, taking them to the states for treatment. Under the circumstances which attend active military operations men must be trained to make any choice, while when in camp they are boiled and sterilized before allow to drink. Fatty foods are most injurious and the chief article of Uncle Same's ration is (sow belly) bacon. People who are in need of the bracing effects of the cold will not thrive because it can be said you have nothing to do from the climate of the Philippines. The Philippines offer a field for skilled labor, such as mechanics, mining foremen, railway men, agriculturists, foresters, and construction workers, in fact commercial men of all grades could thrive with great or small capital. In short, all careers are possible in the Philippine Island State. It is easy to see that the Archipelago must be a fertile region. Igneous rocks of various species and lime stone are abundant. The rain fall is copious, the mean temperature is high and the sun is known to be a part of the mountains of Northern Luzon. Under such conditions plant food is rapidly generated and fertility is inevitable. When we were stationed in the Philippines, we used bamboo, the native material used for building purposes, thrives extensively. I took the measurement of some bamboo growing for three successive mornings and found that each night it increased by about 10 percent, showing an amazing speed in growth. It is a well known fact that the very valuable fibre called Manila hemp, is exclusively a product of the Archipelago. Strangely enough this fibre is not only the main account of climatic conditions, but in the Southern end of Luzon, in the Vicayac and Mindanao, the plant fourishes. The native merchants have told me it is the New Guinea fibre, but it causes cordage made from it does not grow stiff when wet, like that made from true hemp. The better grade is used by the natives to make linen like filament fabric, one fibre many feet in length. The native name of this plant, is a species of the banana, is abaca, called by botanists muca textilic. The fruit is not edible, the natives utilize it in making a dye, which has a very interesting quality. Cotton of excellent quality is to be seen growing without cultivation, but in no great quantity.

The cultivation of the cane and the extraction of the sacchariferous juice are somewhat antiquated, though surprising resemblance exists in the parts of islands, principally in Negroes, Coffee, cacao, gum copal and dyewood form the principal exports. The chief grains are rice and maize, both of which often yield two and some three crops of the latter a year. There are, of course, surprisingly marked differences among the tribes in physiognomy and character. Only the cane and the maize are tented and this can hardly be due to relation by natural descent solitarily, since thousands of natives from the North have been captured, enslaved and incorporated into the Mohammedan countries.

A BRASS MONKEY At the Grand Opera House, St. Paul. Chas, H. Hoyt's face "A Brass Monkey" is announced as the attraction for the Grand the coming week, commencing Sunday night. "A Brass Monkey" was first produced at the Bjou剧 theatre in New York City several years ago, it made a run of one complete season to record receipts. For two years it was produced at the Bjou theatre and then withdrawn to give place to new Hoytian productions. The general prosperity which prevails at the present time induced Joe W. Pierce to produce a piece and he has sent it out this season reproduced with magnificent scenery, mechanical effects and costumes and presented by one of the best and most experienced that ever played under his direction. The principal roles will be assumes by Mazie Trumblull, Jas. K. Wesley, Chas. A. Morgan, Marcus Honroe, Ed. B. Brown, Tom Daly, Eugene Wenger, Michael Wagner, and John Taylor, Pauline Billipp, Estelle Weavers and others. Miss Trumblull plays "Baggage" the daughter of "Jonah," who is not only unucky in the skit, but also profoundly superstitious. On these two features of this character Mr Hoyt has erected a fun structure that allows him to take on his other fares all of which have proven wonderfully successful. Miss Trumblull has made a great success in the part of "Baggage" and has gained a great deal of favor with amusement lovers. The assisting manager, the special cast and the specialty features and musical numbers are said to be very entertaining. A Girl's Best Counselor Is Her Father.

Fill an iron shell quite full of water, plug it very tightly, and then place it in a temperature cold enough to freeze the water—and what will happen? Like most bodies the iron will shrink with the cold, and there will be even more water. When it freezes expands, and the liquid in the shell, when it becomes solid, will need one fifteenth more space than it had at first. One of two things must therefore occur; either the 'pig will be expelled, or the bomb will burn. In either case, ing more than three pounds, was added of ceded to a distance of 285 miles.

Younghusband in the National Review. In traveling through a strange country for one's pleasure one naturally tries to think the best of the people; and most of the people (except the Masbonas and Matabele) among them I have traveled I have formed some attachment to. But between me and the Chinmen there always seemed a great gulf fixed which could never be overcome. The Chinese gentleman I met during my three years stay in the Pekin legation and the year after in Chinese Turkestan were always very nice, and often cheery and genial; but even then could always detect a vein of condensation and superciliousness. They were polite because they are bred to rigid politeness, but I never felt drawn toward a Chinese gentleman as any one would be toward a Rajput, a Sikh, or an Afghan gentleman. I with me on my journey from Pekin to India me took fell out. But, and we rode them all in the thousands of miles and shared many daring adventures, we were never really attached to them; and I am absolutely certain that if ever I see him again he will never dream of jumping up and down and kissing my hands and feet in dog-like devotion, like my Caitral servant did when I returned to Chitalat at the close of the siege. As for the Chinese with whom I was brought in merely casual contact in passing through towns and villages, the only thing to be said is that he no attempt whatever to disguise their country. No country is so unpleasant to travel it. It was a common experience to have mud and stones thrown at one in passing through a town, and to be greeted with scuffs and sneers by an excited mob. I gather; therefore, from this that the real, the instinctive attitude of the Chinese, as a whole, toward foreigners is one of intense antipathy; and if we consider the rigid conservatism of the people we may be certain that that antipathy will last for many years. And very natural this antipathy is that we and small wonder that they seek to push foreigner at a distance, "China for the Chinese" is a thoroughly comprehensible sentiment; and what right have we Europeans to force ourselves in where we are not wanted? GOLDEN HORSESHOE: Original Members Obliged to Scale a High Pass. How many of those who are members of orders and associations intended to keep alive the early history of this country have ever heard of the Order of the Golden Horseshoe? It was the first order founded in America and the story of its origin is told in a rare book, to be found only in a few libraries, the "Present State of Virginia," written by the Rev. Hugh Jones, chaplain to the Assembly in Jamestown, and published in London in the Virginia then extended to the Atlantic coast, known west, but very few of her colonists had crossed the Blue Ridge or the Alleghenies. So full of dangers, from savages and wild beasts, and of full natural difficulties was the passage of these terrible heights, that the good chaplain tells us with awe of the setting out of Governor Spotswood to discover a pass, attended by a guard of "Soldiers, Gentlemen and Players," carrying provisions. They scaled the pass with great hardships and peril, and returned, the governor having cut up the rocks on the highest peak the name of King George. He then conferred with the judge of the Golden Horseshoe. Each of the scaled this high pass was made a member of it, and to each one he presented a golden horseshoe. On the side were the words, "Sie juvat transcendere montes." ("So it please him to cross mountains.") Any gentleman thereafter who could prove that he had read the words of the king upon the height was entitled to become a member of this order: The Eating of Over-Hunted Game Is Attended with Risk. The eating of "high" game is undoubtedly attended with risk, and the poisonous effects are probably due to the toxins produced in the earlier stages of the putrefactive process. The advantages, of course, of hanging game is that the flesh becomes tender and decidedly more digestible than when it is quite fresh. The ripening process, however, may mean the elaboration of the toxins. It has been suggested that the bactericial flavors of game is related directly to the amount of sulphurated hydrogen or sulphur-alcohol set free, but it is rather repulsive to think that the delicate flavor of the game is dependent upon that invariable product of decomposition of rotten eggs-sulphurated hydrogen. The evolved during cooking of "high" game is even more disgusting. Fresh game sometimes sets up mysterious, poisonous symptoms, which have been attributed to the fact of the game having been infected with the bactericial Fatigue products, indeed, have been seized from over-hunted game, which, when injected into a healthy animal, have produced marked poisonous effects. There is no doubt that fatigue products under certain circumstances are also elaborated in the human body and give rise to a species of self-poisoning, characteristic symptoms of which are headache, stupor and gastric and intestinal pains. The flesh of over-rotten cattle may prove poisonous from the same cause. This curious formation of poisonous products in the flesh of animals through a state of terror or panic may be considered in relation to the wholesomeness of animal foods, and emphasizes the importance of slaying animals intended for food in the most human way.-London Lancet.
