Immunity From Ivy Poisoning.
Persons susceptible to Ivy poisoning
can bo rendered 'Immune by tnklng
a treatment described by Dr. Jay
Frank Schuniberg In the .lournnl of
the American Medical asoclatlon. It
consists In taking after meals n prepa
ration of tincture of poison Ivy, In
doses gradually Increasing from one
drop to a tcnsspoonful. The Immunity
conferred by this lasts for about a
month. Ivy poisoning may also be
cured by administering the same drug
In larger doso3, Increasing, more rap
idly.
Deadly Weapon of Warfare.
An Invention by a French wireless
engineer, M. Dunoyer, will completely
change the character of naval war
fare, if Its claims arc fulfilled, says
the London Mall. It consists of what
he calls an "electric safety lock." The
mechnnlsm to direct the course of a
torpedo nnd secure Its explosion
nirnlnst nn enemy wnrshln can be
worked not only by wireless waves
of tho right length, but also by a
proper seuuence of Morse slgnnls. Any
error In the right sequence of dots
nnd dr.hes would run the mechanism
down to zero agnln nnd render the
torpedo harmless. Each torpedo
launched would hnve Its own key se
quence of dots nnd dashes, and so the
enemy would bo tumble to tamper
with It.
