LONDON, Oct. 3. —Revelations deal ing with the smoking of "hashish,” a vice which is said to lead to lunacy, have been made by A. Lucas, director of laboratories in the survey depart ment at Cairo, who read a paper on the subject before the Cairo Scientific so ciety. entitled “Confessions of a Hash ish Smoker." He declared that the use of the drug rapidly is increasing in Europe and America. “Hashish originally comes from. Greece,” said Mr. Lucas, “where hemp is especially grown for that purpose. Its Intoxicating and narcotic properties are no modern discovery, however, for there are references to it in Herodotus, who records that the Scythians burned the seeds of hemp during the purifica tion ceremonies that took place after death, and that they became intoxi cated by the fumes. Drug Taken in Many Ways. “In the 'Confessions of a Hashish Smoker’ the statement is made that the drug is often taken in cigarettes. But it can be indulged in in other ways. The hashish is either powdered or in fused in cold water, resulting in a tur bid liquid, or it Is ground up in water or milk, to which is added pepper, sug ar or spice. It is also boiled in a pow dered form and taken hot. In Egypt and Turkey it is taken in sweetmeats and confections, prepared with sugar, honey and molasses. “Very often it is smoked in pipes, and excessive smokers to whom the simple drug no longer appeals add such ingre dients as opium, arsenic, nux-vontica or datura seeds. “It is Interesting to note, in passing. » that our word ‘assassin’ comes the Arabic ‘hashish.’ the plural i o j' which is ’hashasheen.’ “The latter name was given to a fa natical Moslem tribe of Carpathians who flourished In the eleventh century under a chief called 'The Old Man of the Mountain,' whose stronghold was Mount Lebanon. This band was the terror of the world for nearly 200 years, and devoted Itself to murdering secret ly or by surprise all the enemies of the Moslem faith. "Before perpetrating any of their bloody deeds they fortified themselves by drinking or eating a preparation of ‘hashish.’ It is easy to see how ‘as sassin’ replaced the original word ‘hashasheen,’ and how ‘assassin’ came to be applied to any one who killed by secret assault. Gives Joy and Appetite. “The first effect of hashish i» to pro. duce cheerfulness and an abundant ap petite. A small dose produces gayety, a larger one hallucinations, delirium and sometimes catalepsy. An average dose induces a dreamy state, when the victim becomes the sport of rapidly shifting ideas. One can never mistake the habitual ‘hashasheen.’ "In his normal state he can rarely collect his thoughts: his memory goes, and he i« inclined to curious errors of perception. Tn Egypt, of course, the hashish habit is most prevalent, the Berberine servants being the greatest offenders, and the residents learn from bitter experience to recognize instantly the hard, hollow cough, and the rau cous, byenallke laugh of the habitual hashish cater. “Hashish fetches anywhere from *7 to sl2 a pound, for which the smug g'cfs pay not more than about $2. The profit, therefore, is big enough to make smuggling worth their while. Two pounds of hashish meet the require ments of a dozen "hashish” fiends for a week, and as the drug is easily con cealed. it Is only too evident that it is difficult to prevent its entrance into the country or stop the consumption." PATIENT ELUDES NURSE AND LEAPS TO DEATH ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3. —While his nurse's back was turned, Thomas Patterson. 44 years old. left his cot at the St. Ixiuis Mutlanphy hospital, leaped from a win dow on the second floor and was in jured fatally. He died two hours later, after having been carried back into the hospital and treated by the house sur geon. hundreds of thousands of people all over the country. Even Carnegie Disagrees. He evidently objects to the fact that over twenty million dollars have been distributed to employees by the Steel Corporation during the last few years under Its profit sharing plans. He evidently believes that it would have been better had this sum gone to swell Mr. Carnegie’s individual fortune. It Is interesting to know that in this latter respect Mr. Carnegie himself dis agrees with Governor Wilson; for Mr. Carnegie has repeatedly expressed to me his great admiration of the rela tionship that the Steel Corporation has succeeded in establishing with its em ployees. He has frequently compli. mented the corporation upon its profit sharing plans, which, as he himself puts ft. have made partners out of em ployees. Mr. Carnegie is so wise and far-sight ed that he sees that we are entering a period of co-operative effort, and he cordially welcomes it as a method of adjusting some of the serious problems existing between capital and labor. Tiie business questions of the hour are of grave moment to millions of peo ple in this country. They can not be waved aside witli the exclamation of “Rats!” or “Tell It to the marines!’* 3
