Few persons have any definite idea, says the Queensland Agricultural Jour- nal, March I¢2o, what an inch of rain means. Anacre contains 6,272,640 square inches. Oneinchdeepof wateron thisacre will be the sam2 number of cubic inches of water. which, at 231 to the gallon, is equal to 27,154 gallons. This iminense quantity of water wilt weigh 228,190 ib or 114 tons. OUne-hundredth of an inch is equa'’ t - one ton of water to the acre. Ibid. As a development of the prehibition law in the United States, the authorities made up their mind that bay rum and toilet waters made with alcohol must be denaturec by the addition of some modi- fying substance that would render these articles unpotable. The Bureau of In- ternal Revenue suggested the addition of $ grain of tarter emetic per fluid ounce. The toxic character of tartar emetic, and its effect when applied externally of causing irritation and pustular eruptions, are sufficient reasors against its use as a denaturing agent of toilet waters. It is suggested that among vegetable pro- ducts, possibly useful as denaturants, colocynth would give satisfactory results in the proportion of Z grains to the fluid ounce.—lbid. S / & / ! - e ) \L».
