Presbyterian General Assembly

The recent action Of this body at Pittsburgh
on the question of reunion between the North
and South has excited extensive and deep
regret among the conservative portion of that
respectable denomination, both clerical and
lay, and will not be calculated to promote it's
interests Cyrus H. Mccormick, ESQ.,, of
Chicago, who has long been one of the most
liberal supporters of its institutions, has drawn
his purse strings, at least for the present
Before the war he endowed the professorships
in the Presbyterian Theological Seminary of
the Northwest, located at Chicago, "with a
view as he declares, "to strengthen the ma
tional religious influence there, as opposed TO
sectional or radical influence. and thus so far
promote the stability Of the Union.r He has
lately been solicited to aid another education.

contribution until he sees some indication that
'the position of the General Assembly viii be
set right at its next annual meeting, and that
the churches South will as promptly return to
their former connection with it.''-Missouri
Republican.
That's the argument, and has been the ar
gument for thirty years, and it has won in the
past and may win in the future. 1t is an ar
gumen of dollars and cents. Wealth, posi-

words of their masters, unless through Ger.

to pat him on the hack With An expression Of

OzoSE.-There is no science, saws an Eng.
hsh journal, of which man of ordinary edu.
cation knows so little as chemistry. In by.
gienic considerations of cholera in nearly
every journal now, popular and scientific, we
find constant reference made to ozone, a term
not long introduced into the chemical nomen
clature, any reference to which is, for the most
part, only found in the more recent works
upon chemistry, and Of the nature of which
many, even we'll educated persons, are igno-
rant. Yet it is an agent upon the presence OF
which bodily health largely depends; and
knowing this fact, and knowing also that it
can-be produced by chshdieal agencies where
it does not previously exist Science, with an
earnestness and faith which her past tri-
umphs in the field ofexperiment justify, looks
forward to further Investigations into the ma
ture of this occult element, as the precursor
of one of her grandest achie<ements. In the
Investigation Of the best method of producing
ozone, it Is found that an atmosphere which
is withods this element can have the lack sup.
piled, and then when the relation between
ozone and healthis established, and next the
dependence Of ozone upon proper ventilation
and good drainage be ascertained, one Of the
noblest results in modern ex(Drimental science
is achieved As smallpox lost mich Of its
terrors by JEsxEn's discovery of vaccination,
SO win cholera and other epidemic diseases
be shorn of much of their virulence by the
applied discovery of the properties and hy-
gienic efficiency Of ozone.
Bat what is ozone? Its discovery, prodnc-
ton and known properties are briefly de-
scribed in the latest editions Of recent works
upon Chemistry. We take the following
account Of it from an English newspaper
which answers our purposes here:
Ozone is an active oxygen, with the char.
acteristic property of decomposing iodide Of
potassium, with Liberation Of iodine. 1t was
in 1910 that the celebrated German chemist,
Schonbein, published his first paper on ozone
Subsequently other chemists discovered .
close connection between ozone and electric.
ity, and the similarity of the odor emitted
by ozone and that which is present after. :
fash of lightning, seemed to Be explained "
the further discovery that osone might BE- ohs
tanned by passing electric discharges AroaeA
alr or oxygen. Since then additional re-
searches have obtained additional information.
for the most part too purely scientific 70 be
ineligible to the ordinary reader, but also to
certain extent practical Schonbein, for in
stance, now asserts that besides ozone there
exists antozone, and that whilst the first Is
permanently negative oxygen, the second Is
permanently positive oxygen. These two,
words lately, the latter indeed but very
short time, have crept into the reports of our
meteorologists and ofthe Registrar General.
The belief that health depends upon rood
supply Of ozone makes the ozonos cope one Of
the most important instruments in the obser-
vatory of the meteorologist.
