' HOTTEST OF HOT STUFF i Noted Scientist Isolates The Pep f Of Pepper. DISCOVERY OF NOTED IMPORTANCE i V f I '* }/' , ' ' ; ? ? \ A Small Pinch of the Stuff "on the Ton^jtlO Burns Like Red Hot Pokei^? Possible Practical Uee of New Dis i r 1 t covery Not Yet Figured Out; But i That Will Regulate Itself. Frederick J. Haskin. 5 The hottest stuff on earth?the constituent of red pepper which makes it ' barn your tongue?has been isolated, analysed and put up in a little bottle * by Dr. E. K. Nelson, of the bureau of chemistry. Dr. Nelson may be said to have taken 'ftoe pep out. of pepper, and thereby to ha"\y produced pure pep, 'This remarkable substance bears* about^he same relation to red pepper that saccharin does to -sugar. Jt has the essential quality of pepper? the burning quality?intensified about 500 times, just as saccharin has the sweetness of sugar greatly intensified. 'In soldiers' rattens, a very, small tablet of saccharin does the work of many pounds of sugar. A little cap> salcin, a* it is called, will dodhc work of tons of red pepper. It will not v give the faint, flavor which pepper derives from its essential oil, butx it will give the sense of hotness with . the most astonishing generosity. A mere pinch of capsaicin would make a . whole kettie of soup so hot that no one could eat It., " The strength of this substance is ' almost incredible. Dr% Nelson has about two ounces of it. He calculates that one of those ounces, if rflifflclently diluted, would be enough to put a pejifcery taste on the torgue or ^very man, woman and child n tne United States. Dr. Nelson has a solution of cap? saicin ijj* alcohol, which consists of one part of the hot stufT to 100 thousand parts of alcohol. Waiving (he prohibition law In the interests of science, the doctor allowed a news( . paperman to touch with his tongue a single drop of the precious fluid on a flake of glass. It may' be stated that if this concoction were placed in general circulation, it would breathe a new meaning into the term firewater. ~~ This substance was isolated long ago by a British chemist named Thresh, who swallowed some of it in a capsule, * and had one of the most intense and violent stomach aches in the history of science^ His discov * ery attracted some ,attention at the time but was soon forgotten. It remained for Dr. Kelson to analyze! the substance. He not only did that, producing the acid and the base of which it is made, but he also made syntheti(. cally a substance almost exactly like It. The doctor had some interesting adventures with his discovery. From working in his laboratpyy with the fumes of capsaicin, his lace became so red and irritated that he h&d to give up shaving for a while. A little of the vapor got into his eyes, and he was temporarily blinded. But he found that the substance has absolutely no permanent effects. His eyes in due course returned to normal, and were no worse for the experience. His whiskers were unharmed. By way of trying oyt the effect of k capsaicin vapor, the doctor placed a very small pliych of it on a piece of metal, and heated it until it vaporized. He then opened the door of his laboratory and drove the fumes out by placing an yelectric fan behind them. He himself remained behind the electric fan. Across the hall a conference was going on, and it presently testified to the power of capsaicin by exploding into a terrific series of sneezes and coughs. But the doctor got an even more dramatic illustration of the strength of this remarkable substance quite unintentionally. A minute quantity of capsaicin nau crysiauizea on a uh ui filter paper, and this piece of paper the doctor burned, forgetting that there was capsaicin on it. The vapor blew out the building and had much the same effect on the occupants of that floor as a fire alarm. When they were all out, a man frpm the floor below came up to see what was the trouble, but* he did not stay long. For some time there was nothing done in that part of the building. You might think, from all this that capsaicin would make a splendid fumigant to lid a house of insect pests, but i this does not seem to be the case. The doctor says that he has just as many cockroaches in his office as he HT ever had, and that the\ presence of ^ capsaicin yapor in the air dees not seem to annoy them at all. In order to nroduce this substance, the doctor took SO pounds of the hot^ test red pepper he could get and put it through a number of chemical processes, finally eliminating everything but this one substance. The substance consists of tiny, clear white crystals, not unlike little diamonds. It! Is literally impossible to do anything' with the substance in a pure state. A ! hit of it on the skin will redden and | irritate the flesh. The smallest possible pinch placed on your tongue will make it burn for hours, as though it had touched a red hot poker. The substance has no odor; but if in snif- j flng it you should draw an infinites- I * Jmpl part of it up your nostril, the re- I suits would surprise you. The practical minded layman won- | ders what is the use of isolating this strange substance. There are several possible uses. Capsaicin may be of great value in medicine as a counter irritant. It would be possible to make j with it si thing similar to a mustard i plaster, but vastly more efficient. | Then, too, 'it can be used in making coJftttments. Air' extremely small amount of this substance distributed ' through some food, such as starch, 1 colored black and ground, would prob- I ably get by the average man as pep- 1 per. i The scientists, however, do not pur- ' sue their investigations with a view to discovering immediate practical application. They proceed on the principle that you must get the knowledge first/and apply it afterward. Some years ago, for example, Dr. i Nelson, who is a specialist in essential oils, devoted much time to lsolat- < Ing and studying the essential oil of American worm oil or chenapodium. | He did not know what use would be i made of his studies, but they resulted i In the discovery that chenapodium is 1 the best cure for hookworm, and it is i now yddely used as such. Dr. Nelson i has n little bottle of this essential oil, and he will let you smell It. V will tKnn 11 n'/l nvr-to r*/l >ir li hookworms leave home. ( J . . ' I DOGS OF ST. BERNARD. They Fared Hardly Because of the Great War. ( At one time (luring the war the press j of the world wept for the St. Bernard dog, which, said the current story, was a victim of the food shortage. It was , not made quite clear whether the monks of the hospice \wero reduced to dog-meat or what, but that the St. Bernard was doomed everyone admit- , ted. It made a? good story. The chief reason It made a good sfcory is because of the romantic atmosphere surrounding these dogs. ( There have been tear-stirring pictures , of a traveler half-burled in the snow, obviously lt>st and in great peril; over him would be standing the great blunt- , headed St. Bernard, a tlush of liquor tied round his neck. Under the picture would be the word "Saved!" From this and similar pictures the world pictured these dogs htmting di-*ligently night and day over the expanse ^of mountains for stray travelers. , ? . i A pretty picture, but not strictly true.

WILBORN, hospice did was this: Send a dog e down each side of the pass every duy t during nine months of the year, to > guide any travelers waiting^ at the i refuge below. The pass frequently, n almost invariably, was lost In the snow, r but the St. Bernard never failed to <] keep to the safe road and bring the c party back to his kennel at tho hos- t pice. Often the snow would be as deep as the height of the dog; his blunt nqso 1 lie used as a snow-plough; no snow- i fall, however heavy, could stop him. o The first" attack on the St. Bernard r dog came from the Swiss war-office; c the St. Bernard pass being a frontier 1 post, and,the Swiss * being mobilized .1M'n*.

The war department was informed 0 by the commander of the^pass that "the inopportune gambols df tho an- f irnuls occasioned frequent collisions." ? As a result tho great St. Bernards were kept In their kennels. It was r soon after this that, visitors being re- ? duced to the irreducible minimum of , nothing, the question of the cost of f living came to the hospice, and made It expedient to survey the kennels, with , a. view of cutting down the food-supplies. , , t The big dog3 have big appetites; carting food for them up the pass was t no light job, especially when food was c scarce; only enough ^vere saved to continue 'the race. , And that is the true story of the ] St. Bernard dog and the war.
