Strange to ) sav, my appetite increased to an extraordln j ary degree, but Instead of giving mestrenctb . ray food seemed to make me weaker ano thinner, and I was terribly constipated.

It, is a factory but what a factory ! From morning till night its great chimneys are con tinuously belching forth clouds of fetid-smelling smoke. Occasionally a great column of steam will shoot high into the uir; not honest, white steam, but purple and green and yellow, re minding one of some bloated anil gigantic serpent. During the hours of darkness its location is betrayed to the most casual observer by the red graro in the sky from its innumerable furnaces. The massive gates leading to this strange establishment are locked aud jealously guarded, for inside them lurk danger aud death to tho unwary tros passer. Poisons of such temtio strength as would suffice to send an army of men to eternity in tho frac tional part of a second lio around loose, and are handled with as little apparent care as if they were the most harmless substances iu the world. Ah has already been intimated, this factory is a dangerous place to visit. It is not enough for the casual comer to be careful where ho steps and to re frain from touching. He must, in ad dition, refrain from using his olfactory powers without special permission, for there aro poisons there which it is death even to smell. One of these is tho pure or auhydrous prussio acid— a terrible preparation, which ia seldom or uevor seen outside a chemical laboratory. The origiunl discoverer of this, tho deadliest of all known poisons, was stricken dead through accidentally iuhuliug its fumes, and scores of other deaths have happened from the saruo cause. It is this anhy drous acid Irorn which tho ordinary, and infinitely weaker, prussio acid of commerce is made, by diluting it with from l'inety-fivo to ninety seven per cent, of water. Even in this form, however, it is sufficiently strong to cause almost instant death, even when taken iu exceedingly miuuto doses. 4 'Next to anhydrous acid, "remarked tho proprietor of the works in <juen tion, while piloting tho writer around the factory one day recently, "the most deadly stuff we make is cyanide of potassium. Last year we turned out over one thousand tons of it, and, live grains being a fatal dose, it follows' that our output of this chemical alone j would have been sufficient to kill 2,• 500,000 people. Altogether, wo man- i ufneture, in tho course of each twolvc month, enough poison to depopulate ; tho United Kingdom." While wo were conversing wo had entered one of tho workrooms, where a number of men were engaged rouud a sort of gigantic witch's cauldron, containing over u hundredweight of molten cyanide. And ever and anon a phantom face, enveloped iu au un canny-looking glass mask, peering through the thick unctuous fumes, right into the heart of the horrible mixture. In auother room were tons upon tons of the finished product, looking | for all the world like white crystal , lized sugar. "It looks good enough to ent," I re marked jocularly. "Ah," replied my guide, gravely, "that is just one of tho dangers we have to guard against. For some in explicable reason,cynuide of potassium exercises a rem&rkablo fascination over the men engaged in its manufac ture. They are haunted by a constant nud ever-recurring desire to eat it. They are perfectly alive to tho fact, however, that to givo way to tho crav ing would menu instant death, and are consequently usually able to resist it. But not always. During the time I have been here three of our best and steadiest workmen have committed suicide in this straugo maunor, impelled thereto apparently by no cause save this mysterious, horrible longing. 1 myself have felt tho a line strange lust when i have been long exposed to the cyanide fumes, and havo bad to leave the works lor a time in consequence, ho well is this curious fact recognized that there are always two meu at work together iu this branch of our busi ness, and a jar of ammonia, which, as you may know, is the antidote to the poison, is kept constantly near ut hand." Apart from this remarkable infatua tion, which may be likened to tho de sire experienced by many people when standing on the brink of a precipice to throw thumeeivos down, the rnanu lacture of potns?inm cyanide in not particularly dangerous. Neither is it unhealthy. In fact, it is asserted that men have gone into tho eyanido house ill and debilitated, and iu a short time have been restored to robust health. The same cannot, however, be aaid of corrosive sublimate. This frightful poison, in common with nlmost all the mercurial preparations, is exceedingly treacherous, and prolonged exposure to the iuines is oftt-u attended by vorv dangerous consequences. To persons unaccustomed to it 3 proximity, even a comparatively short sojourn in that part of the works devoted to its manu facture sometimes gives rise' to various uupleosnut symptoms, as the writer can testify. In my ease, ten minutes' exposure to tho fumes sufficed to iu duee profuse run mug at the eyes, uose and mouth, nocompauied by a constant desire to expectorate, and followed by shivering, nausea and hoadaoho. The room in which this particular poison is prepared, with its vast collection of ttrnugely shaped stills und its maze of | pipes and retort", resembles au alchcm ! ist's laboratory. j Of course, uot all tho products of ibis wierd factory aro poisonous, j Neither nro .ill the smells nauseous, nor all the sights uncanny. In one apartment, for instance, my nostrils are sainted with an exceedingly sweet f savor, reminding mo of "peardrops," sweets beloved ot' my youth. It is l acetate of amvl, tho precise drug used to give to tho confection in question its peculiar flavor. Another smaller chamber, from which emanates a : stoug odor of camphor, is a veritable ! fairy place of pure white crystals. Facsimiles of palms, ferns and masses i of tropical vegetation droop in gracc ; lul festoons from tho roof and com ] pletely cover the walls. Of course, ! tho flowers and ferns aro composed of ' neither ice nor snow, but pure white | camphor crystals. i Some of the substances aro so ex -1 cccdingly volatile that during the pro i cess of manufacture they must never 1 be permitted to come into contact with | tho outside air. A typical case is that of ether, which is passed from still to ! still ami from retort to retort by means of long copper pipes, until at last it emerges tho finished article of commerce. It produces, when swal lowed, au almost immediate exhilara tion of spirits, followed by unsteadi ness of gait, thickness of utterance, confusion ol' ideas—in fact, all tho typical symptoms of ordinary intoxi cation. 'I he efl'ect passes away quickly, however, so that an ether drinker can get drunk three or four times an hour. My last visit before quitting the works was to the testing room, where, surrounded by hundreds of samples of tho deadliest poisons known to sci ence, tut a tall, slender and pretty young girl. Hanged in front of her was a collection of tubes of various shapes and sizes; thermometers grad uated to tho one hundredth part of a decree centigrade, and scales so deli cately poised that ah eyelash laid upon one of tho balances deflected the indi cator nearly half an inch. By the aid of these and other strange and beauti ful pieces of apparatus she. was en abled to record tho ex ict strength of the various products of the factory. - London Answers. Willows of Revolutionary Soldier.*. Seven women arc still drawing pen sions as the widows of men who saw nclivo service in the war of the Revo lution ; women whose husbands served uudcr Washington more than 120 years ago. The eldest of these surviving widows of the Revolution is living at Los Augeles, Gal. She is Mrs. Lovay Adrich, now in the ninety-eighth year of tier ago. Her husbund was Trivato C&leb Aldrich, who was born in the year 1703, iiud served as a sol dier boy in tho Now England cam paigns of the war. Mrs. Nancy Jones, of ilouesborough, Tenu., whoso hus band was Durliug Jones, a private in ono of the North Carolina regiments, is tho youngest of tho Revolutionary widows, being now about eighty-three years of age. The other live aro Nancy Oioud, who is liviug at Cham, Va., and is the widow of Sergeant William Cloud, of Captain Christian's Virginia liuc; EslherS. D.imou, of Plymouth Union, Vt. ; whoso husband wr.s Pri vate Noah Damon, of Massachusetts; Mary Suead, living at Parka!ay, Va., widow of Private Bowdoin Sueud; Nancy A. Weatherman, who lives at Elk Mills, Tenu., and whose first Lins boud was Robert Glascock, a titer in one of tho Virgiuia regiments, and Rebecca Mayo, living at Newborn, Vn., widow of Stepheu Mayo, a sol dier from Virginia. That these women can bo the widows of Revolutionary soldiers is readily understood in view of thu fact that their husbauds were well on in years wheu they rnarrie I. As, for ex ample, when Esther Sumner married Noah Damon in tho year 1835—fifty two years after tho close of tho war she was but twenty-one, while he was seventy-six. The last Revolutionary widow pen sioner who had married prior to tho close of tho war, and had therefore actually lived' during revolutionary times, WAS Nancy Serena, widow of Daniel F. Rakemau. She died about twenty-Ecveu years ago, only a year or two after her husband, who was the last of the Revolutionary soldiers ou the pensiou roll. ('iipabiiiiics of Carrier Pigeons, Two intonating questions present themselves concerning the length of time during which the pigeon can rec ollect the place of his homo and the distance from which ho is able to find his way back to it. Rome birds have found their way home after five years' absence; and it isgouerallyconsidered that good birds can be depended upon for six months. When pigeons were to bo sout back i and forth, it has boon usual to keep two nets, with their respective homes at either end of tho course; and when they have reached their home, to carry thorn buck to tho places from which they are to dispatched. They become in the course of time familiar with their now homo and its choice dishes. When set at liberty they start off at onoo lor Paris, without forgetting the good things they enjoyed at St. Denis. When they arc to be gent back, they arc made to fast a little while, and are then let loose at about feeding time at ►St. Deuis. They go thithor, and, when they havo their own way, time their going so us to bo there lit tho exact uiouicut of feeding. Birds have thus been taught to fly back and forth regularly between places thirty miles apart. Swedish Rnihlhig Restriction*.
