Why Is it that in boiling in an open Vessel such liquids as eider, etc., wa ter only escapes in steam, while the ■trength remains, while in boiling it lu a retort, as In a still, the strength passes away In the steam, and in dis tilling suit or impure water only the pure water passes off In the steam? This is because of a difference In tbe botliiig {mints In tbe fluids and tbat under the Increased pressure of • retort the boiling point is higher than tbat of water lu the open iffr at the ordinary pressure of the atmosphere. If cider had a higher boiling point than water when the water boils at 100 de grees it takes some little cider with it mechanically. On the contrary, if al cohol were present before the boiling point of water were reached most of tbe spirits would have passed away. If the increased pressure of the retort allows it ou the boiling point of the fluids therein being reached, suppose the licnt to tie great enough, they will be changed to vapor and pass away, Whatever they be.

A bundle of licorice root—slim, rough •ticks of tobacco brown wood—lay on the counter, and the sullor took one up and begun to chew its end. "1 have seen the place where this stuff grows wild," he said. "Do you know where that is?" “(’nn’t soy I do,” replied the drug gist. "It Is along 1 lie banks,” said the sail or, "of the Tigris mid the Euphrates. The licorice is u wild plant in those parts. It stands three feet high, and its roots reach the water. For miles and miles the licorice patches spread, nnd the smell of them tills the air. It is a sweet, heavy smell. “In those parts they cut the licorice plnnls regularly, aud they use the poor, crooked, imperfect sticks for firewood.
