"Malakotf,n Paris correspondent OF
the New York Times, tells an interesting
and friglItrul story about the qu.lity Of
the air breathed in theaters and other
close houses, containing a thousand or
more persons. 4 chemist made sn ana

He carried into a theater at 10 o'clock
at night a bottle o. ice placed on 1. plate,
and then collected the vap0r Whllsh rap
idly condensed on the outside of the
bottle and flowed down on to the plate.
At first this vapor thus collected tad the
smell, the taste, and, far as could be de-
termined, every chemical quality be-
longing to the waters Of the most
deadly fever marshes. Under the
microscope this water was at first
clear, but soon, that is to say in a
week, it was found to be fall Of fine
animalcul;e. A little later on these
animalcuhe had grown, and the big
ones were seen pursuing and devourlnS
the little ones. Slill later on, at the en- ]
Of two months, the water was thick with
animalculR; various forms were seen,
and still the work OF destruction was
going on. At last but three hideous
monsters were seen-microscOpic mon
sters, of course, since they were con tanned
in a drop of watei-and these were still
fighting TO see which could devOlW the

/ draary and the rain was falling. The
queen arrived rom Windsor at eleven
I o'clock and left Buckingham palace at
I one. There was a lEe military display ;
| but the planes Of the soldiers WeIe drag

PROSPECTING" ~ NIBGINIA-Dr Pau
Gregory writes as follows from Manassas
Prince William co. We give what he says:
4 have leased for so years, with privilege
Of renewal, 1900 acres of pure native copper
territory. There is a vein running northeast
and southwest, directly through the whole 1900
acres These lands lie in Fauquier County
near the station of Linden, on the Manassas
Gap Railroad. 1t inexhaustible without any
kind of doubt The 200 acres Of Mr.. Ben. f.
Lewis, FIVE miles from this place is also No. 1,
but not so extensive as the Fauquier mines and
territory.
The lead is situated in Clarke County, i'm
mediately on the Shenandoah river There
