SEVEN YEARS AND DIVORCE.
Chicago f,atrycr*« t, Which VMM
lie It«*garJ«id an Original.
The Chicago attorney of a scientific
turn of mind who evolved the idea of
wliat Is known as the seven year amend¬
ment to the divorce law-, may or may
not have simplified one of the greatest
*x?iaJ problems, An absolute conelu
fiion in tiffs trd will be impossible
until the amendment become an act
Aud the practical workings of the new
•tatutc* have been tested by a more* or
Jgas intelligent and impatient couuou
nicy / uot be genera! jt'f
stood fhat the x cl Icgi Xi<
toper..live . - a -? JCfcH tr of the
©ration of what is known con¬
stant change occurring in particles of
tlie human body.
Each individual is made up of atoms,
and each day some of these atoms are
cast off to bo replaced by others from
the food we eat, the water we drink
and even the air we breathe. Miss
Jones, though perhaps quit© as charm¬
ing as she was a week ago, is not en¬
tirely the same person, nor is Mr. Smith
the same young man he was. Each
has lost a portion of the body and each
has gained an equivalent.
Tfiere is the same general contour a a
before, but there is a slight difference
in material. In course of time tiffs
change will be complete. Every recent
atom of Miss Jones or Mr. Smith will
have gone out into the great world and
now atoms will have taken their re¬
spective places. Miss Jones and Mr.
Smith will be new people.
The consensus of learned opinion is
that the body changes entirely once In
•very seven years. Now, suppose Mr.
Smith and Miss Jones to wed. Mr.
Smith has sworn to cherish the lady
who has just become his wife, not some
other woman, and, vice versa, Mrs.
Smith, nee Jones, has made pledges of
equal solemnity and import to love
none other than the man beside her.
For a time it is all right, that is, rela¬
tively so. but at tlie end of a year only
•u-sevenths of the present Mrs. Smith
eeniain, while Mr. Smith has suffered
•n equal variation.
At the end of seven years Sire. Smith
is not the same woman Smith married,
dor is he the same man whom she prom¬
ised to cleave to. There is uot a particle,
oot one jot or tittle, remaining about
either of the couple who were married.
Cloarly their relationship is scandalous,
end something should bo dorm about it.
To remedy the evil the amendment to
the divorce law makes a separation at
the end of seven years permissible if
not mandatory.
Of course it is claimed by the oppo‘
sinnts of the proposed legislation that
neither Mrs. Smith nor Mr. Smith can
properly be deemed unfaithful, since
neither longer exists, and the argument,
it must be admitted, has its force. But,
Admitting tho assumption, who are the
two people at present living together
nnder the name of Smith, and what ex¬
cuse have they for the relations now
existing? Should not they either sepa¬
rate or marry without delay?—(Jhicago

Wood Store Fireproof Thun Iron.
In his recent lecture on fire proven
tion Professor Goodman states that,
generally speaking, wooden joists are
better for buildings than steel or iron
foists. The two latter materials, he ex¬
plained, lose their strength at a not
eery high temperature, whereas wood
would su-fain a heavy strain for a much
longer period when exposed to great
beat. Besides when wood has once
been charred it does not burn so readily
•gain.
Iron and steel soon expand nnder the
tntiuenee of heat. Brick and stone are
objectionable; the former become fused
under great heat, and the latter is liable
to crack or lly when suddenly cooled
after heating. Tbe drawback to tiles
is that when fire plays upon the joists
of floors fitted with them the joists ex¬
pand and allow the tire to play upon
the joists through the tiles. Portland
oement is objectionable, as it flakes off
when heated, but if wire netting or
bars are imbedded in conoret© this de¬
fect is remedied.
A joist padded with silicate of cotton
aud incased in salamauder plaster (a
mixture of silicate, cotton mid plaster
of paris), the professor holds, is a splen¬
did fireproofing material. Such a ma¬
terial is not only a nouoonduetor, but
it is elastic and would yield with the
joist. In an experiment undertaken by
Professor Goodman it was found that a
joist of this kind withstood very fierce
heat for eight to nine hours without
sustaining any serious damage. —

The Ocala Demands.
Some inaccuracies having crept into
the demands of the Supreme Council
at Ocala, as copied info the press, the
following is taken from the minutes
published by authority as beingrelia
^ q u ^ 6 often the seventh demand
has been omit 1 ed:
a. We demand the abolition of na
iional banks.
b. We demand that the govern
TTKi t shall establish sub treasuries
in tbe several Slates,
wi/ck shall loan money direct to the
people at a low rate of interest net to
exceed 2 per cent, per anum on non
perishable fai m products, and also up
<*n real estafe, with proper limita¬
tions upon the quanity of land and
amount of money.
c. We demand that the amount
of the circulating medium be speedi
lp increased to not less than $50 per
capital.
2. Thut we demand that Congress
shall pass such laws as will effectual¬
ly prevent the dealing in futures of
all agricultural and mechanical pro¬
ductions providing a stringent sys¬
tem of procedure in trials that will
secure the prompt conviction and im¬
posing such penalties as shall secure
the most perfect compliance with the
law.
3. "We condemn the silver bill re¬
cently passed by congress, and de¬
mand in lien thereof tbe free and un¬
limited coinage of silver.
4. We demand the passage of
laws prohibiting alien ownership of
land, and that Congress take prompt
action to dovise some plan to obtain
all lands now owned by aliens and
and foreign syndicates; aud that all
lands now held by railroads be re¬
claimed by tbe government, and held
for actual settlers only.
5. Believing in the doctrine of
equal lights to all and special privil¬
eges to none we demand—
a. That our national legislation
shall bo bo framed in the future as
not to build up one industry at the
expense of another.
b- We further demand a removal
of the existing heavy tariff tax from
tho necessity of life that the poor of
our land must have.
c- We further demand a just and
equitable system of graduated tax on
incomes.
d. We believe that the money of
the country should be kept as much
as possible in the hands of the peo¬
ple, and hence we demand that all na¬
tional and State revenues shall be
limited to the necessary expenses of
the government economically and
honestly administered.
6. We demand the most rigid hon¬
est, and just State and national gov¬
ernmental contrel aud supervision of
the means of public communication
and transportation and if this control
and supervision does not remove the
abuse now existing, we demand tbe
government ownership of such means
of corum unieai ion and transportation.
7. We demand that the Congress
of the United States submit an
amendment to the Constitution prem
viding for the election of United
States Senators by direct vote of the
people of each state.
