Can one use any more forcible argument in favor of loose clothing than this? It is abso lutely impossible to secure plenty of oxygen if the clothing is worn at all tight, and oxygen is a food which the body must have always in abundance to keepwell. : Thealrleaving the lungs is laden with that deadly poison carbonic acid gas, which if given off in a close room when no provision is made for its escape and the entrance of pure air soon renders the pir utterly .unfit to breathe.

If Job were to rise from the dead and look upon the heavens, says Professor T. J. J. See in The Atlantic, he would see the constellations related to one an other as of old, but he would find that the pole had shifted its position among the stars, and if an immortal could wit ness the grand phenomenon which the precession of the equinoxes produces in about 12,900 years he would find the heavens so altered that the farmer as pect could be recognized only by an un derstanding of the changes which had intervened. As Humboldt justly remarks, the beautiful and celebrated constellation of the Southern Cross, never seen by t the present inhabitants of Europe and visible i;t thef United States only on our southern coast, formerly shone on the shores of tbe Baltio, and can again be seen in that latitude in about 18,000 years. The cross will then be visible on the shares of Hudson bay, but at pres ent it is going rapidly southward, and in a few thousand years will be invisi ble even at the extreme point of Florida.

Element. The alchemists of the middleages be- t lieved that somewhere in the universe i was to be found a universal solvent i which would dissolve the most refrac- 1 tory substances as readily as water dis solves sugaY. They named their solvent ' liquor alkahest, and what time they , could spare from the search after the , elixir of life and the philosopher’s - stems was spent in the endeavor to ob tain it. Science has yet to prove, by the way, that there was not more method 1 in the madness of the alchemists than is generally supposed, for in the re markable substance fluorine chemists possess material that approximates very closely to a universal solvent. Itachem- is so fierce that, except gold and platinum, nothing can resist it, and even gold and platinum succumb to fluorine in time. The mere contact of most substances with fluorine is suffi cient to cause not mere solution, but light, flame and fierce detonations. Dull, inert flint takes fire when exposed to fluorinewapor and becomes a bril liant incandescent mass. Lampblack bursts into flame, while charcoal burns with bright scintillations. Only the diamond is able to resist this powerful solvent; to which it does not succumb even at high temperature. The similar' i element silicon, which can be obtained in a crystalline form closely resembling the diamond, gives a magnificent dis play fa the presence of fluorine, the crystals becoming white hot and, throw ing showers of fiery spangles' in all di rections. The heat is so intense that the crystals melt, showing that their tem perature has rc&ched 1,200 degrees C. Phosphorus combines fiercely with fluorine. Prussian blue, on account of the cyanogen it contains, burns with a beautiful pink flame; while from a crystal of iodine placed in fluorine vapor a heavy liquid distills with a pal&flame. This liquid—an iodide of fluorine— etches glass, and if thrown into water hisses like hot iron. The last named metal becomes white hot when exposed to fluorine; even iron rust behaves in a similar manner. Nearly all metals are raised to vivid incandescence in a cur rent of the gas, many appearing very beautiful, especially aluminium and zinc. If the latter be slightly warmed, it bursts into a white flame too dazzling to gaze at or describe. Although it has been known in vari ous states of combination for many years, having been first discovered by Bchwankhardt of Nuremberg, in 1670, and rediscovered by Scheele in 1771; fluorine was not obtained as fluorine in the free state until about six years ago, When the French chemist Moissan suc ceeded in isolating it by employing a current of electricity from 26 or 28 Bunsen batteries. The current was pass ed through the compound of fluorine and hydrogen known as hydrofluoric acid, which is similar to hydrochloric acid. To improve the conductivity of the hydrofluoric acid it was necessary to dissolve another fluorine compound in the liquid. As will readily be imag ined, it is not so difficult to obtain free fluorine as to keep it when obtained. Every part of the apparatus used by M. Moissan was made of platinum, with screw joints and washers of lead, which swell on contact with fluorine, all the stoppers being of fluorspar. Fluorine has a powerful affinity for silicon, one of the principal constituents of glass, so that it was impossible to use glass ves sels or tubes to contain the gas. As regards the chemical nature of fluorine, it is a gas at ordinary temper ature and is the lightest of the series of elements containing chlorine, bromine and iodine*- The attraction of fluorine for hydrogen exceeds that of chlorine and is so great that if a slow current of fluorine gas be passed into a tube of fluorspar containing a drop of water a dark fog is produced, which changes presently to a blue vapor con sisting of ozone —the condensed form of oxygen- The last darned substance ap pears to be one of the feV? materials which has no affinity for fluorine. Noth ing is observed to take place between them even when they are heated up to 1,000 degrees F. So far all experiments had been con ducted with fluorine gas, which, at ihe time it was isolated, resisted all at tempts to reduce it to the liquid state. Six years ago, however, there was no laboratory—finch as that at the Royal institution—having powerful machinery for producing liquid air or liquid oxy gen at the command of the investigator. In fact, liquid air itself was practically unknown. By the aid of this weapon Professors Dewar and Moissan have suc ceeded in liquefying fluorine. At the extremely low temperature of liquid oxygen it was found that fluorine did not attack glass, and it was possible to use glass vessels to hold the newly lique fied element —O. F.

For 14 years he sat In the mayor’s chair, and during nil of that time he was subject to an unwrit ten law which declares that a part of a mayor’s duties is to go to banquets. Be fore he was ever elected mayor of Balti more he was a public official, having been speaker of tfio house of delegates, and held other offices, and during that time his quota of banquet/was not small. And since he baa retired to private life his friends, who, during seven years as mayor bad honored him with invitations to ban quets, have not forgotten him, and bo has continued to grace the tables which have known him in his official capacity. Say, then, that there are 20 years dur ing which General Latrobe has been a regular guest at public banquets. Ho him self says that he must have attended at least 80 a year during that time, and that makes the total of 600 banquets. What is the secret of doing this without shattering health and happiness, without even being interested in the Zurich (Switzerland) operation of having one’s stomach re moved? Perhaps it would be best to give it in his words. never found the task arduous,” said he yesterday. “I have attended all kinds of banquets and dinners, at which the dishes of many distinctive nations were served. But the fact is that I never ate much and seldom drank anything but mineral water. I would always eai a good dinner before I left home and would when I arrived at the banquet table par take of perhaps a few things and then sit still and enjoy myself until it came time for me to respond to that abused toast, ‘The City of Baltimore. ’ “A mayor can make no greater mistake than to try to go to two banquets in one night. This is a thing that I never did. When I received an invitation, I wrote it down, and if another came I informed the second comers that I was already engaged to eat and drink. As far as the speech making was concerned,'that never both cred me much. When the time camo to talk, I would get up and tell my hearers something about the city government, which, I must confess, I knew a great deal about at one time.’’ It struck Gomyal Latrobe as rather fun ny when the national complexion of the banquets which he had attended was called to his attention. There were the German cjlebrations, for instance, with very Teu tonic dishes and wine and beer. Then there were the meetings of the Hibernian society, where the tons of tho sod of Erin hpd the catering in charge. The St. An drew’s society served him haggis piping hot and equally hot Scotch whisky and the St. George’s society stuck to the roast beef of old England and other things which go with it. : All of these- General Latrobe attended assiduously and regularly, and there were others. There was the banquet of the He brew Benevolent society, where the dishes of tho prophets met the eye, the banquets of the City college, and other educational institutions, and last, but not least, the annual gathering around the festal board of the Merchants and Manufacturers’ as sociation, where orators of national fame usually discourse upon topics of timely in terest. . “I really enjoyed it all,” continued the ex-mayor. ‘‘l like to go not only to the banquets which you have mentioned, but to many others. I always had * good time whenever I went. But I didn’t eat much —banquet goers should remember that— and I didn’t drink much, and that is why I have not developed any of those many diseases which are lurking in the atmos phere surrounding the gourmet. . “A public man must needs attend a great many ot these functions, but at all of them he is almost sure to meet a num ber of people whom he knows, and it is always pleasant to talk to one’s friends. Thus a man may combine pleasure with a duty which might at times seem disagree able on account of its frequent recurrence, but if he would have peace of body and avoid surgeons, who have a hankering to remjve stomachs, he should follow my example—never'eat muehnnd never drink m ucb. ’ ’—Baltimore Sun. Library Tickets Given With Deg Ucqnees. Some time ago the Kansas City council passed an ordinance giving the public li brary 50 per cent of all money derived from dog licenses. This will amount to about 12,500 per year. The membership fee to the public library Is 81 annually. The promoted' of the free membership scheme claim that by virtue of the ordi nance giving the library half of the dog li cense money the poor people of the city practically support the library. They argue It Is not the rich people wbo keep dogs, but tho poor classes. The lloense on a female dog is 82.50, while it costs 81.25 per year to harbor a male dog. It is claimed that 95 per cent of the money de rived from dog licenses comes from the laboring people, and, inasmuch as their money supports the institution, they think It is no more than right that they should be allowed free access to the library. r The ordinance will provide that when a person takes out a dog license the city clerk shall Issue with it one membership to the library.—Topeka State Journal Chinese Nervelsssnsse, A north China paper says the quality of “nervelessness’* distinguishes the China man from the European.
