Tbure is no country in the world where prohibitory laws aro as strictly enforced as iu tho five civilized tribe. It is against tlie law to import any sort of intoxicating liquors under severe penal tie. The result is that it is a common thing for people to drink camphor, per fume, huir tonics and any old liquor that contains the faintest suggestion of alcohol "I outuaily saw one fellow drkik a large swallow of red ink and learned that this carmine fluid was a moat pop ular beverage. A good aired bottle of it could be bud for 60 oenta, and It w warranted to 'make tbe drank come.' It seemed to me that wben the Indiana were willing to go to anob extreme to indulge their craving for Ure water that it wonld be Just a well to let them have the genuine article, which oouldn't at the worst be half as bauefnl a tha vile compounds they habitually use.

Another use ha Wn found for tha Vapor of iodine. This is thn discovery of alteration in manuscripts. Professor Brnyhits of Louvnin, the discoverer of the prooenft, uoticed that when n sheet of paper which had been sized nud fin islied wa ninistened and, after being tlicrou!hly dried, exposed to tht vapor of iodiun the part which had been moistened becume violet, wbilo the uu moistened portion became brownish yel low. It nppcnr.i (lint when n mnnnsrript h-.ift been ultcvcd both the nature and oxtriit of tho nltf-ratiou can be deter mined by tho uo of Iodine vapor. Those parts which have been rubbed become 1 brownish on exposuro, and when tbe ruhbrd port 1 subucMimntly moiHtened it Ifconie blno, tho depth of the color depending ou tbe length tif time that the 'exposure bud been allowed to pro coed. TI10 process ift believed to bo due en tirely to tbe well known fnct that when ratline i put ou Kturch tbo starch be unifH blue, and tbe difference iu the tint in dependent on tho fact that a por tion of the starch which i contained in the size ban been removed in tho process of tho alteration of tho manuscript. Oddly i-iTOtigh, tho nit mo process will reveal the extent of pencil murks which have beru erased by rubbing. The iodine vapor brwifis out the line which have been trancd by tbo pencil point disturb ing tlie "-virtui'u of paper, even though the rubbing baa been so carefully done that it tius not removed any of the sar fiicn of the paper itwuf.
