CHAPTER XL
HIS PA IS “NISHIATED."
“Say, are you a Mason or a Nodfellow
or anything?” asked the bad boy of the
grocery inan as he went s o the cinnamon
bag on the shelf and took out a long stick
of cinnamon bark to chew.
“Why, yes, of course I am, but what
set you to thinking of that?' asked the
grocery man as he went to tiro desk and
charged the boy's father with half a
pound of cinnamon.
“Well, do the goats bunt when you
nishiate a fresh candidate."
“No, of course not. The goats art,
cheap ones, that have no life, and we
muzzle them and put pillows over their
heads so they can’t hurt anybody,” said
the grocery man as he winked at a broth
er Odd Fellow who was seated on a sug
ar barrel, looking mysterious, "But why
do you ask?”
“Oh, nothin, only I wish me and my
chum had muzzled our goat with a pil
low. Pa would have enjoyed his becom
ing a member of our lodge better. You
see, Pa had been telling us how much
good the Masons and Odd fellows ffi<l
and said we ought to try and grow up
good so we could jine the lodges when
we got big, and I asked Pa if it would do
any hurt for us to have a play lodge in
my room and pretend to nishiate, and
Pa said it wouldn't Joany hurt. He said
it would improve our minds and learn
ns to be men. So my chum and mo ber
ried a goat that lives in a livery stable.
Bay, did you know they keep a goat in a
livery stable so the horses won't get sick?
They get used to the smell of the goat,
and after that nothing can make them
sick but a glue factory. J wish my girl
boarded in a livery stable. Then she
would get used to the smell.
“I went home with her from church
Sunday night, and the smell of the goat
on my clothes made her sick to her stnm
mick, and she acted just like an excur
sion on the lake and said if I didn’t go
and bury Piyself and take the smell out
of me she wouldn't never go with me
again. She was just as i>a|o a ghost,
and the prespiration on her lip wa* just
zif she had been hit by a street spridkler.
You see, my chum and me had C: carry
the goat up to my room when Pi‘6' <d Ma
was out riding, and ho blatted so we had
to tie a lumdkerchief around his nos 6,
and his feet made such U noise oh the
floor that we put some baby ; s soels on
his feet. Gosh, how a goat smells, don’t
it? I should think you Masons must
have strong stummix. Why .don't! you
have a skunk or a mule for ..a trademark?
Tftko n mule and anoint it with lim
burg cheese, aipl J'ol4 could nishiate and
make a candidate smell jqst as bad as
with a gosh darn mildewed goat.
“Well, my chum and me practiced
with that goat until he could bunt the
picture of a goat every time. We ber
ried a buck beer sign fpoiu ft saloon man
and hung it on the back of a chair, and
tho goat would hit it every time. That
night Pa wanted to know what wo were
doing up in my room, ami I told him we
were playing lodge and improving our
minds, and Pa said that was right.
There was nothing that did boys of our
age half so much good as to imitate men
and store by useful nollidge. Then my
chum asked Pa if he didn't want to come
np and take tho grand bumper degree,
and Pa laffed and said lie didn’t care if
he did just to encourage us boys in inno
cent pastime that was so improving to
mr intellex. We had shnt the goat up
tn a closet in my room, and he had got
over blatting, so we took off the handker
chief, and he was eating some of my pa
per collars and skate strajis. We went
np stairs and told Pa to come up pretty
soon and give three distinct raps, and
when we asked him who comes there he
must say, *A pilgrim who wants to join
your ancient order and ride the goat.’
“Ma wanted to come, up too, but we
told her if she come in it would break
up the lodge, 'cause ft woman couldn’t
keep a secret, and we didn't have any
side saddle for the goat. Say, if yon
never tried it. the next time you nishiate
a man in your Mason's lodge you sprin
kle a little kyan pepper on the goat's
beard just afore you turn him loose.
You can get three times as much fun to
the square inch of goat. You wouldn’t
think it was the same goat. Well, wo
got all fixed and. Pa rapped, and we let
him ru and told him he must be blind
folded, and be got on his knees a-lafling,
and I tied a towel around his eyes, and
thou I turned him around and made him
get down bn his hands also, and then his
back was right toward the closet door,
and I put the buck beer sign right
against Pa’s clothes. He was a-lafiing
all the time and said we boys were as
full of fun as they made 'em, and we
told him it was a solemn occasion, and
we Wouldn’t permit no levity, ami if he
didn't stop lafliug we couldn't give him
the grand bumper degree.
“Then even thing was ready, and my
chum had his hand on the closet door and
some kyan pepper in liis other hand, and
I asked Pa in low bass tones if he felt as
though he wanted to turn back or if he
had nerve enough to go ahead and take
the degree. I warned Him that it was
full of dangers, as the goat was loaded
for bear, and told him he yet had time to
retrace his steps if he wanted to. He
said he wanted the whole bixaess, and we
canid go ahead with the menagerie. Then
I said to Pa that if he had decided to go
ahead and not blame us for the conse
quences to repeat after me the follow
ing: ‘Bring forth the royal bnnqier and
let him bump.’
“Pa repeated the words,.and my chuin
sprinkled the kyan pepper on the go.it’-
mustache, and he sneezed once and look jJ
sassy, and then he see the lager beer go.it
raring np, and he started for it just like a
cowcatcher and blatted. Pais real Lit.
but he knew he got bit, and he gru'ntixl
and said, ‘Hell's fire, what yon boys doinl*
and then the goat gave him another de
gree, and Pa pulled off the towel and got
up and started for the stairs, and so did
the goat, and Ma was at the bottom of
the stairs listening, and when 1 looked
over the banistert Pa and Ma and the
goat were all ia a heap, and Pa was yell-
The Hartwell Sun.
and the goat was tiiatnng ana sneezing
and bunting, and the hired girl came
into the hall, and the goat took after her,
and she crossed herself just as the goat
struck her and said, -Howly mother,
protect me!’ and went down stairs the
way we boys slide down hill, with both
hands on herself, and the goat rared up
and blatted, and Pa and Ma went into
their room and shut the door, and then
mv chum and me opened the front door
and drove tne goat out.
“The minister, who comes to see Ma
every three times a week, was just ring
ing the bell, and the goat thought he
wanted to be nishiated, too, and gave
him one for Jqck and then went down
the sidewalk blatting and sneeziqg, and
the minister came in the parlor and said
ho was stabbed, and then Pa came out
of his room with his susi»eiiders hanging
down, and he didn't know the minister
was there, and he said cuss words, and
Ma cfu-4 and told Pa he would go to hell
sure, and Pa said liu didjl’t care, he would
kill that kussid goat afore he went, and
I told Pa the minister was in the parlor,
and he and Ma went down and said the
weather was propitious for a revival, and
if seemed as though an outpouring of the
spirit Wi»s abriPt io vouchsafed to his
people, and none of theiu sbf but
Ma, 'cause the goat didn't hit her, and
while they were talking relidgin with
their mouths aud kussin the goat in

'cause he said he would not hold us re
sponsible for the consequences. He or
dered the goat hisself, aud we hik'd the
order, don’t you see? Well, I guess I
will go and sneak in the back way and
find out from the hired girl how the land
lays. Hhp won’t g° back on me, ’cause
the goat was not loadei] foji |iire,l girls.
She just happened to get in at the wrong
time. Goodby, sir. Remember and
give your goat kyan pepper in your
lodge,”
As tho boy went away and skipped
over the back fence thpgrguery man said
to his brother Odd Fellow: “If that boy
doesn’t l»eat the devil, then I never saw
one that did, The old man ought to
have him sent to a Innatlo asylum,”
CHAPTER XII.
HIS GIRL GOES BACK ON HIM.
“Now yon git right away from here,”
said the grocery man to the bad boy as
he came in with a hungry look on his
face aud a wild light in his eye. “I am
afraid of you. I wouldn't be surprised
to see you go off half cocked and blow
us all up. I think you are a devil. You
may have a billygoat, or a shotgun, or
a bottle of poison concealed about you.
Condemn yon, the police ought to muz
zle you. You will kill somebody yet.
Here, take a handful of prunes and go off
somewhere and enjoy yourself and keep
away from here,” and the grocery man
went on sorting potatoes and watching
the haggard face of the boy. “What
ails you anyway?' he added as the boy
refused the prunes and seemed to be
sick at the stomach,
“You see before yon a shadow.”
“Oh, I am a wreck,” said the boy as he
grated his teeth and looked wicked.
"You see before you a shadow. I
drank of the sweets of life, and now
only the dregs remain. I look back at
tho happiness of the i>ast two weeks,
during which 1 have been pemitted to
gaze into the fond blue eyes of nay loved
one and carry her rubbers to school for
her to wear home when it rained, to
hear the sweet words that fell from her
lips as she lovingly told me I was a ter
ror, and as I think it is all over and that
I shall never again place my arm around
Her waist I feel as if the world had been
kicked off its base and was whirling
through space, liable to be knocked into
a cocked hat, and I don’t care a darn.
My girl has shook me."
“Sho? You don't say so," said the
grocery man as he throw a rotten potato
into a basket of good ones that were go
ing to the orphan asylum. “Well, she
showed sense. You would have blown
her np, or broken her neck, or some
thing. But don't feel bad. You will
soon find another, girl that will discor.it
her, and yon will forget this one.”
"Never!" said the boy as he nibbled
at a piece of < <xlfish that be had picked
off. “I shall never allow my affections
to become entwined about another piece
of calico. It unmans me, sir. Hence
forth I am u hater of the whole girl race.
From this out I shall harbor revenge in
my heart, and no girl can cross my path

a ne scnooima m, or a he milliner, or
something, where I can grind girls into
the dust under the heel of a terrible des
potism and make them sue for mercy.
"To think that girl, on whom I have
lavished my heart's best love aud over
80 cents in the past two weeks, could let
the smell of a goat on my clothes come
between us and break off an acquaint
ance that seemed to be the forerunner
of a happy future and say ‘Ta-ta’ to
me and go off to dancing school with a
telegraph messenger boy who wears a
sleeping car porter uniform is too much,
and my heart is broken. I will lay for
that messenger some night when he is
delivering a message in our ward, and 1
will make him think lightning has struck
the wire and run in on his bench. Oh,
you don’t know anything about the woe
there is in this world. You never loved
many people, did yon?’
The grocery man admitted he never
loved very hard, but he knew a little
something about it from an auut of his
who got mashed on a Chicago drum
mer. "But ybur father must be having
a rest while your whole mind is occupied
with your love affair,” said he.
“Yes,” said the boy, with a vacant
look, “I take no interest in the pleasure
of the chase any more, though I did have
a little quiet fun this morning at the
breakfast table. You see, Pa is the con
traries! man ever was. If I coinplain
that anything at the table don't taste
gQ(>d, Pb says it is all right. This morn
ing I took tno sirup p|tcher and emptied
ont the white sirup and put in some cod
liver oil that Ma is taking for her cough.
I put some on my pancakes and pretend
ed to taste of it, and I told Pu the sirup
was sour and not’fit to eat. Pa was mad
In a second, and he poured out some on
hi# paiiuultes and said I was getting too
confounded particular. Ho said the sirup
was good enough for him, and he sopped
his pancakes in it and fired some down
his neck. He is a gaul dnrned hypocrite,
that's what he is. I could see by his face
that tljp po<l |iyer oil was nearly killing
him, but ho said that sirup was all right,
and if 1 didn't eat mine ho would break
my back, and, by gosh, I had to eat it,
and Pa said lie guessed he hadn't got
much appetite, and he would jnst drink
a cup of coffee and eat a donut.
“J |ikp to died, and that is one thing,
I think, that makps jhi# disapjxautment
in love harder to bear. But I fell sorry
for Ma. Ma ain’t got a very strong
stummick, and when she got some of
that cod liver oil in her mouth she went
rigl)t up stairs sicker'n a horse, and Pa
had to help her, and she had r-ooralgia
all tho morning, I eat pickles to take
the taste out of ray month, nnd then I laid
for the hired girls. They eat too ram i
sirup anyway, and when they got on to
that cod liver oil and swallowed a lot of
it one of them, a Nirish girl, she got np
from tho table and put her hand on her
corset and said ’Howly Jaysusl’ an i
went uni it) the kituhuti ns pale as Mu is
when she has powder on her face, and
tho other girl, who is Dutch, sho swal
lowed a pancake and said, ‘Mine Gott?
vas de matter from me?' and she went
out and loaned on the coalbin-: then they
talked Irish and Dutch mid got clubs
and started tq luult for me. and I thought
I would come over here.
“The whole family is sick, but it is not
from love, like my illness, and they will
get over it, while 1 shall fill tin early
grave, but not till I have made that girl
and the telegraph messenger wish they
were dead. Pa and I are going to Chi
cago next week, gnj I'll bet we’ll have
come fun. Pa says I need a change of
air, and I think he is going to try and
lose me. It’s a cold day when I get left
anywhere that 1 can’t find my way
back. Well, goodby, old rotten ixitatoes.”
Among the incidents of childhood that
stand out in bold relief, as our memory
reverts to the days when we were young,
none are more prominent than severe
sickness. The young mother vividly re

in turn administers it to her own offspring

* How Hair Cleanser the Head.
That the hah* covering the body of
an animal or the head of u human
being serves the pui*poses of warmth
and protection is manifest, but one
would hardly ex[K'ct to find that it
also acts as a cleansing agent. This,
however, appears to bo the fact. The
minute scales which cover the outer
portion of the hair are fastened at
one edge and free at the other, and
the free edges lie in the direction
away from the skin.
The surface of a hair, therefore,
is like that of a piece of fur or cloth
covered with nap Rubbed from
root to tip it is found to be smoother
than when rubbed tn the oppositedi
rection.
This being the case, it is evident
that [tarticles of mutter in contact
with a hair must find their direction
of easiest motion to lie toward the
tip end of the hair and away from its
root So by virtue of the peculiar
structure of its surface the hair
serves gradually to remove from the
skin which it covers all foreign par
tides which may have found lodg
ment there.
The oily secretion emanating fi’om
the follicles of the hair probably as
sists this actfcx ty gathering up the
fine jiarticles of extraneous dust and
of scales from the skin, and thus en
abling the hair to retain them, so to
speak, in the. grasp of its curious sys
tem of brushes.
Every movement of the hair, how
ever produced, must tend to set the
particles sticking upon it in motion,
and as we have already seen, that
motion can be in only one direction.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local spplications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions, of the ear.
There is only one way th cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirety closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are causad by
cattarrh. which is noiMtflbut aa inflamed
condition of the aaoeoas surfaces.
We will give Ona Hundred Dollars fcr

A man wearing a short-cropped
beard and w strip d cutaway coat
strolled into an office in the Erie
county savings bank building in
Buffalo and looked around careless
ly, says the Express of that city.
“Howdy?" he inquired of tho offion
boy,
1 ‘Fair, ” replied the boy, ‘ ’Wbadju
want?"
“Where's tho boss?”
“That's him,” said tho boy, point*
ing to an inner room, whore a man
was at work at a desk.
The bewhiskered man walked in.
He pulled a chair up beside the desk
and sat down. The man at the desk
looked up in surprise. “What do
you want?” he asked, coldly.
“Oh,” said the bewhiskered man,
“I just dropped in to talk to you a
few minutes. Quite an office you've
got here.”
“Yes, ”'i'i>plied the man at the deajft
iibut —'•
“Kinder sloppy-lookin’ furniture,
though.”
“I'm sorry you don’t like it.”
“Oh, it don't bother me none.
That's as bum a desk as I’ve seen for
tlpie,"
itNow, see here —”
‘ ‘Pretty rocky suit of clothes you’re
wearin’.”
The man at the desk got rod in the
face and jumped from his chair
itpod blast you!" he shouted. “What
do you moan by coming in here and
talking like that!"
“Don’t get excited,” replied tho
man with the short-cropped beard,
calmly. “Sit down.”
I’he Pffih |»t the desk sat dowib
Smearin' a dirty collar, too, ain’t
ye?” asked the visitor.
The man at the desk got red in the
face again. Before he had time to
say anything the bewhiskered plan
continued: “I shu’d think you’d
black your shoes. It don’t cost
much, and them you’re wearin'is dis
reputable.”
The man at the desk pranced
around tho room. “Get outof here!”
he shouted. “Get out or I’ll call a
ppliceinaii,”
9Don't get excited,” urged the
man with the beard. “It's bud for
the nerves. That’s the worst fittin’
coat I ever see.”
The man at the desk was dum
founded. He was so mad that he
could not talk. “An’,” continued
his visitor, deliberately, “I notice
that that hat of your’n is last sea

hurt anythin’ if you had this floor
swop' onest or twiccst a month. The
air is durn bad here, too."
By this time the man at the desk
had gathered his dazed faculties.
He picked up a heavy ruler and
walked over to the man with the
short-civpped whiskers. “Now,”
he said, as calmly as possible, “what
in heaven’s name do you mean by
coining and talking like that? Tell
me before I batter the life out of
you.”
“Well,” said the man with the
whiskers, deliberately, “I called in
to see if I could insure you in the
Early Bird Mutual Endowment so
ciety, which offers tho best insur
ance on the globe at the lowest
rates.”
The other fell back in his chair in
blank amazement. “You —want —
to insure me?” he gasped. “And
talk like that?”
“Cert,” said the man with the
whiskers. “I'm dead tired jollying
people, and I thought I’d try another
lay. What do you think of it? LH
tle idea of my own.”
The man at the desk arose from
his chair. He reached over and
grasped the visitor by the collar and
pulled him to his feet. Then he hit
him over the head with the ruler
and knocked him down. He then
proceeded to wipe the floor with him.
After he had jumped all over his
visitor he dragged him to the door
and threw him out into the hall.
Ten minutes later the door opened
and the man with the short beard
stuck his head in. The man at the
desk jumped up and grabbed his
ruler. “Hol’ on, boss,” said the in
surance man. “I want to ask you a
question!”
“What is it?"
“Hain’t to be no more sluggin’, is
there?”
“No; I’ll let up on you.”
“Well, on the dead an’ layin' all
business aside, that coat of your n is
a bum-fittin’ thing, ain’t it?”
The man who occupied the office
forgot his promise and fired a law
book at the insurance man. The
latter immediately picked it up and
bolted downstairs.

When the List race had been run
and the result announced at Latonia,
there was a big rush for the train
standing epposite the grand stand.
In a trice the cars were filled and the
p!atf< >rms er.r.vded.
The train had just started when a
man on one of tho forward ears con
vulsively clutched at his shirt bosom,
and then tho air was rent with that
old squeal, "My studs have been
pinched!" and a well dressed man
slid off the train, which passed rap
idly on, leaving him standing on the
end of the platform. His name was
not learned by the reporter.
Detectives Rohan of Chicago and
Crawford and Schnucks were stand
ing on the platform of another car
and soon heard of the little episode,
They went through the train, but
could recognize no dips and so could
do nothing.
“Well, it seems to me,” said De
tective Rohan, “that if any one has
got a good stone, which is the same
as money, he should take care of it.
There is no use in having stones
pinched.”
“Some of tho late settings have
screw fastenings, so that a dip to get
them must cut the twist, and few
dips are going to ppjry pliers,” said
Detective Crawford.
"I’ll tell you something that is bet
ter than that,"said Detective Rohan.
"When a man puts his diamond stud
in his shirt front, if he will only
screw it into a little wad of cotton at
the back no clip can get it out- A
little cotton batton would save many
a lino stone.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Ask Your Friends
Who have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla
what they think of it, and the replies
will be positive in its favor. One has
been cured of indigestion and dyspepsia,
another finds it indispensable for sick
headache, others report remarkable cures
of scrofula, salt rheum and other blood
diseases, still others will tell you that
it overcomes “that tired feeling,’’ and so
on. Truly, the best advertising which
Hood's Sarsaparilla receives is the hearty
indorsement of the army of friends it
has won by its positive medicinal merit.
.IRE YOU GOING TO THE WORLD’S FAIR?
If so, see that your ticket reads via
Cincinnati and the C. H. D. and
Monon—the acknowledged‘World's Fair
Route.'
The only line out of Cincinnati con
necting with E. T. & G. and Q. & C.
ra n No. 2. arriving Cincinnati 10:39, P.
M. A solid tram carrying through
sleepers from Jacksonville, Savannah,
Birmingham, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Ma
con and New Orleans via E. T. V, & G.,
Q. & C., C. 11. & D. and Monon Route
to Chicago.
You can stop over in Cincinnati if your
ticket reads via the C. 11 & D. and Monon
Route, by depositing same with the Mer
chants’ and Manufacturers’ Asssociation,
Chamber of Commerce Building, corner
of Fourth and Vine Streets, one block
from Fountain Square (the C. 11. X D.
ticket office is in the same building).
This enables you to visit the picturesque
“Queen City” at no additional cost, and
special efforts will be made to entrtain
strangers hospitably and reasonably.
The universal verdict of the traveling
public is that the Pullman Safety Vesti
buled trains, running every day, “and
Sunday too,” via the C. 11. & D. and
Monon, between Cincinnati, Indianapolis
and Chicago, are without doubt the
“finest on earth.” These trains were
especially built by the Pullman Com
pany for this service, and embrace every
improvement. Their magnificent coaches
luxurious smoking cars, superb sleepers,
observation cars, compartment sleeping
cars and unexcelled dining car service,
afford “all the comforts of home.”
Leaving Cincinnati you pass through
the beautiful Miami Valley, and for
twenty-five miles the double tracks run
through the very front door yards of the
finest suburban homes in the country.
Beyond Hamilton and up to Indianapolis,
the line is noted for its scenic beauty.
A stop over at Indianapolis, the cap
ital of Indiana, may be obtained by de
positing your ticket with the Secretary
of the Commercial Club. This city is
more worthy of a visit than almost any
other of its size in the West, and offers
the greatest inducements to traveller and
tourist. Between Indianapolis and Chi
cago the line traverses the very best agri
cultural and commercial territory, and
the ride is one of unparalleled comfort
and beauty.
Bear in mind that the C. H. & D. and
Monon Route trains all run via Burnside
Crossing, from which point the Illinois
Cential suburban trains run direct to the
World’s Fair Grounds every moment.
At Englewood connection is made with
the electric cars, which run every five
minutes to the grounds, but we recom
mend all persons to go directly into tho
Dearborn Station, which is located in the
heart of the city and from which all
street car lines converge, then go directly
by car or cab to your hotel or boarding
place. First locate yourself; know
where and how you are to live while in
Chicago. Get the locality firmly fixed
in your mind, before going to the World’s
Fair by any of the numerous convenient
ways; the cable cars, electric roads, ele
vated railroad, Illinois Central R. R.t
suburban trains and the steamboat,
afford ample accommodations for all
possible visitors, and it is but five min
utes ride from the business portion of
the city to the grounds. Take your
breakfast down town, buy your lunch at
the grounds, and take your supper down.
If you follow these suggestions you will
save money. The faculties for serving
lunch at the World’s Fair Grounds are
extraordinary and th# prices are cheaper
than at your own home, but breakfast
and supper should be taken down town,
or at your boarding house. The World's
Fair is already the most astounding and
stupendous spectacle ever attempted by
any peopie, and a day's visit will afford
more delight and instruction than can
possibly be obtained in any other way
or by the same expenditure of money.

A Definition For the Art of Doctoring.
It i.i the individuality of cases, tha
fact that to oue patient we must give
•a teaspoon! r.l of medicine, while the
next will take two, that is at the basis
of the ultimate failure of all “cure
alls." And. oddly enough, it is this
very individuality of cases, bringing
will) it to the physician so many
hours of anxious thought, that makes
him reach out and welcome the new
treatment.
He is so terribly anxious to relieve
his patients, to do them good, that in
the blind maze of uncertainty in
which he finds himself he hails with
delight anything tiiat promises hope
fully. The practice of medicine
might be defined not unfairly as a
succession of conundrums presented
for solution, with death to the pa
tient as the penalty for failure. Who,
then, may blame the physician for
welcoming that which calls itself the
key? It is the fashion to blame physi
cians for their ready adherence to
the new, but it is an unjust fashion
when the facts are considered.—Cy
rus Edson, M, D., in North American
Review.

Is it not worth the small price of 75c.

An article by Dr. Phipson in The
Chemical News contains a bold sug
gestion that at remote periods the at
mosphere contained a very large
amount of carbonic acid, and, in fact,
consisted principally of that gas, ni
trogen and vapor of water. The crust
of the earth may thus have possibly
cooled and solidified in an atmosphere
containing a large proportion of car
tonic acid. In volcanic regions enor
mous quantities of this gas are still
given off, and the hypothesis is large
ly supported by the important part
which carbonic acid is known to play
in the formation of many crystals.

Outside of medical and technical

“Incomprehensibility” has the same
