nd 0 *rapound of cyanogen with a metallic agent. Cyanogen is a colorless, poi­sonous liquefiable gas which has the odor of alm onds aud burns with a purp le flame. Cyanide of potassium is made by burning potassium, au al­kali m etal, in cyanogen gas, and is really n p russia te of potash. I t is produced also iu blast furnaces in which ore is smelted, with coke or coal, and is perm anent when kept dry, but decomposes readily in moist air. It crystallizes in dry, octagonal blocks, and is extrem ely soluble in water. I t has the odor of prussic acid and k in­dred b itterness of taste. Cyanide of potassium is also used in e lectro­m etallurgy and photography to a con­siderable extent. It will remove m e­tallic oxides, the juices of fruits and indelible ink.

I t never received the sanction of the Postm aster-G eneral, aud was subject to no rules aud regulations, for it con­sisted m erely of a slit iu the rock, closed up by a nicely fitting stone. I t was situated high up in the hills, about m idway between Drimniu aud Harr. Form erly when any letters for Harr or the neighborhood came to D rim uin postoffice they were carried by the first available shepherd or crofter to th is prim itive letter box. There they were left until some one else should find it convenient to take them to th eir destination. The a r­rangem ent was fairly satisfactory, for
