The Meeting of Prenchors-1he Liquor

Dealers Association.
The pastors Of the various churches of this
city held a meeting at Foundry church yes
terday morning to discuss the liquor'liCense
question, Row. J. w. Parker in the chair
and Rev. l.. @. Morgan secretary.
Rev. J. i. Rankin In n short prayer asked
that the commissioners might be given wis
dom from on high to guide thom in this ques'
tiou.
Rev. c. II. Richardson was appointed on n
committee to wait upon the board OF school
trustees and request their cooperation with
Tho pastors in preventing tho issuance Of
liquor licenses to persons Keeping bar'rooms
in the vicinity Of school-houscs.
Roy. George V. Leech stated that his COM
mittce on the organization Of temperance
alliance were not ready to report, and further
time was given.
A discussion arose relative TO tho return of
Mt Deirees protest on the ground that no
specific charge was made some Of those pres.
cnt contcndiug that any protest presented to
the commissioners should be considered. To
this Rev. George V. Lcoch and others demurrcd,
saying that although favoring tho severest
criticism Of tho commissioners when ncccs.
sary, still IL the applicants complied with all
the requirements those who protested should
specify lhe location Of Che saloon complained
of, US was done 10y the pos,mastergoncral.
During this discussion motion protesting
against the saloons opposite the postoliice dc.
parlment being allowed to remain open after
valid protest had been filed was laid on Tic
table. Several present claimed that none Of
the saloons whose applications were pending
should be open, and, further, that 10 applica'
tons should have been received after the 3lst
of October. Tho point was made, however,
that applications could be received at any
time during the year. Rev. T. s. Robinson
cited the case Of a minister named Foster who
had signed au application for a liquor license
under a Misrepresentation, and another in
which lady who refused to sign had pOr'
tion Of her house torn down. lie was in
structed to carry the latter Gaze before the

A COLLEGE ROMANCE.
Atlanta Constitution.

Many years ago young fellow went
to Yale College. The father was very
rich, and the yougster lived in grand
style at the university. Suddenly the
old gentleman failed and had to with
draw his son from the college. The
boy, however, felt the necessity of an
education, and determined to have one
anyhow. He therefore went to work
and learned a trade as q machinist.
While he was at his work his old asso-
ciates cut him and refused to have any,
thing to do with him. The young Ia
dies with whom he had been a great
favorite failed to recognize him when
they met him. One day while going
from his work he met a wealthy young
lady who had been his friend. He had
his tin dinner bucket over his arm and
supposed she would cut him as all the
rest had done. She smiled pleasantly,
addressed him as Tom" and insisted
that he should call and see her as he
had always DONE She said: " There.
is no change in you so far as am con
cerned." The years rolled on. The
young workboy became wealthy, and
owned Il factory in which 1,50O men
and women were employed. The
young girl grew to womanhood and
married. Her husband borrowed
large sum of money from the rich man,
and died before he had paid it, leaving
his family with but little property.
The capitalist sent her, with his con-
dolence, receipted note for her hus-
bands Indebtedness; and now the son
of the millionaire is going to marry
the daughter of the one woman who
was faithful and true to the young
wOrkbOy at college. s .r,-..s.Es "a

The Popular Science Monthly for
March has fascinating article, by
Wm. C.. CoDant, upon the above sub
ject, in which the various processes for
its manufacture are fully described.
Unfortunately its length is too great
for our columns, otherwise we would
show our readers how much the Amer
lean Inventor is accomplishing toward
revolutionizing the fuel interests of the
world through the decomposition OF
common water. Few persons are aware
of what has been done in this direction,
for, as the author says, g 1t may well
seem the extreme Of paradox that the
same element which tempers the excess
of both solar and animal heat, should
also become the great source of supply
great mass OF people are Ignorant of,
or wholly skeptical as to, tine probabil-
ity of water fuel ever being substituted
for coal In all our manufacturing In
dustries, Yet such a contingency Is
near at hand-much nearer than the
practicalization of the electric light for
Illuminating purposes, and the Amer
ican Inventor will doubtless ere long
demonstrate its possibility through the
nBiversal ADOPTION by every grade, and
class OF manufactures, of the process
now in constant daily practical and
profitable use by some factories in New
York City. The process of making
water fuel, in short, consists Of the de-
composition of common water and the
liberation thereby of hydrogen, one of
its components, which is recOmbined
with carbon from common coal or Pc
troleum.
The gaseous result is used as fuel,
with most economic and favorable re-
suits, and SO chcaply is it made that
there is large profit to the manufac-
turer in selling it at 80 cents per l 600
feet, since its production does not cost
over 10 cents. Mr.. Conant states that
this invention will work a revolution
in the manufacture of iron, particular
Iy of steel, owing to its purity and
from sulphur, phosphorus, etc.
g The insuperable obstacle heretofore
in the production of hydrogen has been
the great expense involved in the pro-
cesses of decomposing water. but this
the American Inventor has apparently
overcome, and we may soon chronicle
water fuel with the electric telegraph,
the sewing and moving machines, and
other inventions of Americans, which
have wrought such wonderful changes
in the commercial and industrial inter-
ests of the world. So quietly has all
this been done that it is hard to realize
its power and influence, and to COM
prehend its real effect upon our man
nfacturing Industries. Those who de-
sire to acquaint thenselyes as to the
manner OF man ufacture, who would
examine the subject in all its bearings,
should send so cents to ID. Appleton &
Co., New York, for the March number
of the Popular Science Monthly.

A BOTANICAL 1DIsCOvEKE.s

A; discovery Of unusual interest in
connection with the life ndgfowth of
plants has recently been made by Prof
Prinzheim. of the Berlin Academy of
Natural Sciences. It completely over
turns some theories which -bOtanists
had supposed to be well-established.
BY means of new processes of exami-
nation, to which he gives the name of
" microscopic-phOtO Prof.
Prinzheim has been studying the green
coloring matter in the leaves of plants
scientifically known as chlorOphyl,
and the cells in which it is contained.
These cells, as has long been known,
constitute but q small portion of the
1eaf-structure, but are scattered like
islands over q cOIorless web-like ex-
panse of fibres. The leaf appears all
green because our eyes are too weak,
without the aid of microscope, to
distinguish the separate green points
which give to the whole surface its ap-
parent uniform hue. Science hereto
fore has ascribed to the chlorOphyl an
intimate association with the sunlight
in the work of extracting from the at
mosphere nutr1ment for the plant.
The colored substance in the cells was
supposed to carry on the process of alb
sOrbing carbOnic acid gas, retaining
the carbon for the sustenance of the
plant, and returning the acid to the air.
Now Herr PrinZheim demonstrates
by a series of highly interesting exper-
iments that the chlorophyl does moth
ing of the sort, and that the actual
work of assimilation is performed by
q sort of wax or balsam-like stuff here
tOfore unknown, tOwhich he gives the
name of hypochlorine, and which has
q powerful affinity for carbonic acid,
when under the influence of sunlight.
The green colOring serves the purpose
only of screening this substance in the
cells from the too powerful influence of
the suns rays, so that 1t may do its
work with moderation and regularity.
1t is, in fact, only a green parasol for
the protection of the active agent of
the plant. If the intensity of the light
is increased by optical apparatus, the
chlorophyl regulator is too feeble to
protect the plant, and the process of
OxydatiOn goes on with such fury that
both chlorophyl and hypochlOrine are
destroyed. The atmosdhere, the SUM-
light, and the mysterious colorless bal
sam-like hypochlorine are the factors
in the process of plant-grOwth, and the
green matter which science has hith-
ertO supposed to possess the chemical
potency of the plant is thus shown to
perform the essential but only sec0n-
dary function of q sort of balance
wheel to the machine. This discovery
opens a new path for botanical research,
and by demonstrating that plants have
q regulator of vital forces correspond
IL q to that possessed by animals in the
lung and heart, is an additional step in
the direction of showing the unity oi
aIIfife upon the planet.-[N. Y. Tri.
