BSS~ At recent texture in Newark,
Professor Weeks performed this expert
ment:
A quantity of lime was placed in me-
tallc box about two feet long and eigh-
teen inches wide, and about foot deep.
Water was poured upon the lime, and a
lid containing recesses for articles to be
cooked placed over the lime. Tea, coffee,
eggs, and beefsteak were then placed in
the compartments, and in few moments
the savory smell of the cdibles and aro-
ma of the best Java and Young Hyson
filled the room.
While the cooking was going on the
Professor turned with all the cool self
possession of an accomplished cook away
from the steaming supper and talked
about phosphorus. a silver coffee-pot
and china cup were passed to the audience
and the contents tasted and tested, and
more than one lady admired the plan o.
so quickly getting a meal without smoke
or dust.

An Act

Granting Pensions to Officers, Soldiers, Sail
0rS and hetr lVSd0,oS Of the War Of 1912.
The following are substantially its provis-
ions -
The First Section authorizes the placing on
the pension roll all surviving officers, enlisted
and drafted men, militia and volunteers, of the
Naval or Military service of the United States,
who served period of SIXTY DAYS in the war
of 1912, and were honorably discharged. Also
that other officers, personally named in any
resolution of Congress, although their term of
service may have been Tess than Sirty days, shall
be placed npon the pension rolls. Soldiers and
others who, at any time during the late rebel
lion, adhered to the cause of the enemies of
the government, forfeit their pensions. All
applicants for pension are required to take an
oath TO support the Constitution of the United
States. The surviving WidoCS of all such of
icers and enlisted and drafted men arc enti-
tied to pensions, provided that such widows
shall have been married prior TO tho treaty Of
peace which terminated the war of 1912, and
SHALL NOT HAVE REMARKED. (The
treaty of peace was concluded on the 17M of
February, 1S15)
The Second section provides that the Act
shall not apply to any person who is receiving
pension at the rate of SS per month, nor to
any person receiving less pension than SS per
month, except for the difference between the
pension received and SSper month. This sec
tion also provides that pensions under this act
shall be SS per month, to be paid from and
after the passage of the act, and during the
term of the pensioners natural life.
The Third section provides that, before the
name of any person shall be placed upon the
pension rolls under the act, the proof shall be
made under such rules as the Secretary of the
Interior may prescribe, and that any pcrs on
who shall falsely take an oath required to be
taken shall be deemed guilty of perjury, and
his name stricken from the rolls. Also, that
the loss of the soldiers discharge shall not
dgpri0c any person of the benefit of the pro-
visions of the act.

DG~ On the evening of the 1st inst,
Miss Mary Connell, young lady of %
years, daughter of the State Senator,
George Connell, was waylaid by rufian,
who attacked her, knocking her senseless
by blow in the face, and then rihed her
pockets of valuable gold anchor lever
watch and chain, and her pocket-book
containing a small amount Of money
The outrage took place within a couple
of squares of her fathers residence, on
the Darby road near Mount Moriah Gem
etery, Twenty-seventh Ward. Miss Con-
nell is music teacher. At the time Of
the attack she was on her way home from
the city, where she had been attending

Dag- On Thursday three Nowburghcrs,
named respectively Charles +. and Geo
June and Gilbert Carpenter, skated from
Newburg to Albany, a distance of 100
miles, in seven hours and five minutes
skating. From Newbnrg to Poughkeep-
sic, distance sixteen miles, they found the
ice very rough, and were one hour and
fifty minutes skating that distance. From
Hyde Park to Catskill, forty miles, the
ice was in splendid condition for skating
and ice-boating, and they made that dis
tance in two hours and half, or an av-
erage of sixteen miles an hour Just be-
fore reaching Castleton they found the ice
very rough, and were compelled to cross
and recross the river several times On
the last mile of the one hundred Charles
H. June made "spurt," and skated it in
three minutes and one second. The feat
is believed to be without parallel in the
history of skating on the Hudson.

THE PUBLIC debt statement of March
1st shoes that the total debt at that date
was 50, 44,737 ,661 ,23, being decrease
of 81, ,317 ,960,08 during the month of
February. When we consider the pecuni-
airy difficulties under which thousands are
suffering, and the general stagnation
of business, throughout the whole country,
it would seem as though it would be a
wise policy to manage the finances of the
nation so as to develope and stimulate
the industries of the country rather than
to extract the life blood of every enter
prise in this foolish struggle to make
a large monthly decrease of the debt
particularly when this decrease is made
from that Indebtedness which pays no in.
