When jackson was President Jimmy ONeill, the
irish docrkeeper of che White House, was marked

the fastidiousness Of the Presidents nephew and
secretary Major Donelson. who caused his dismissal
on an average of about once week. But on appeal
10 the higher court the verdict was always reversed
by the good nature Of tho old General. Once how;

DETECTION OF OZONE.

In order to overcome some of the objections
to the detection of ozone by iOdide of potas,
SUM papers, Sebivene has made an extended
series of experiments on the use OF thalllum
papers as Ozonometers. The thallium paper IS
prepared few days before use by dipping
strips of Swedish tiltering paper in solution oil
thallous hydrate, and drying. The solution Is
prepared BY pouring solution of thallous sui
Pnate into a. boi ing solution Of baIiu U h aSo
resulting solution of thallous hydrate being
concentrated in vacuo until 100c.c. contains 10
erammes I'll (0Hl. For use the strips are hung
IN the free air in q close vessel, preferably over
caustic lime, for twelve hours. Other papers
are used, made with two per cent solution.
These are exposed for thirty six hours. Inc
cOloration is determined by comparison with
scale having eleven degrees OF intensity upon
it. Compared with SchOnbein's ozOnometer,
the results are in general directly opposite.
The thallium papers show that the greatest st
it is at night. Yearly curves show that the
former generally indicate rise when the latter
give fall. The iOdide curve follows closely
that of relative humidity, clouds and RAIN the
thallium curve stands in no relation to 1t.

PAPER PLATES.

The latest application of paper Is the adop;;
ton OF paper plates by some OF the great
restaurants and cafes in Berlin. The innova:.
ton was first introduced during the summer. OF
last year by the adventurous landlord Oh
much-frequented Open-air restaurant. Every
customer who ordered bread and butter, rolls
cakes, buns, or similar articles, had them
served to him upon a little paper plate, made
OF a light papier mdche. adorned with pretty
border IN relief, and having at the first glance
great similarity to porcelain. Guests, walters
and hosts were all pleased with the novelty; It
saved the walters many deduction fTom~their
wages on account OF brsakaRes, which the
deftest and cleverest of Rellners can scarcely
avoid when he handles hundreds OF pieces OF
crockery during single Afternoon ana evening
The paper plates were 80 cheap that the land
lord did not care to assert his ownership over
them, and his customers were allowed to carry
them away, like the pretty se1viettes of thin
paper used in so many restaurants in Holland.
There was also considerable saving OF the
time lost, and the chances Of accident incurred,
in the cleansing of earthenware pottery. The
success of the experiment has been 50 marked,
that the new species OF plates js likely TO be IN
troduced into q great number OK restaurants'

CURIOUS. IF TRUE.

A we'll known Paris scientist, DR.. Delaunay,
has made the curious discovery that, to ascer-
tain the qualities of an applicant cook, 1t IL
sufficient to give her plate to clean. or sauce
to make, and watch how she moves her hand
in either act. If she move 1t from lett to right,
or in the direction of the hands OF q watch, you
may trust her if the other way, she is certain
to be stupid and incapable Similarly the in.
teligence OF people may be gagged by asking
them to make q circle on paper with pencil,
and noting in which direction the hand is
moved. The good students in mathematical
class draw circles from. left to right. The in
feriority of the softer sex Gas well 90 of male
dunces) is shown by their drawing from right to
left asylum patients and children do the same.
In a word, centrifugal movements are char
acteristic of intelligence and higher develop
ment; centripetal, are mark Of incomplete
evolution A person. as his faculties are devel-
oped, may come to draw circles the opposite
way TO what no did in youth. DR., Delaunay
has some further extraordinary conclusions
as to the relative positions Of races In the scale
of development, from the way they wind their
watches and make their screws.

AN EAsY TEsT FOR OLIVE OIL.

One of the rarest articles Of daily use is pure
olive oil, and many think themselves fortunate
to obtain oil which is in part made from the
olives Add to this fact tho difficulty of distin-
gushing one vegetable oil from another by
Chemical test. especially of recognizing them
when mixed, and no wonder the importers OF
olive oil soon accumulate a competency.
The test is exceedingly simple, and can DC
performed by anyone possessing good chemleal
thermometer. About teaspoontul OF oil is
put in q test tube, and thermometer SUSPENDED
In the oil, which is now TO be heated to 26O' Z.
(472o Fairy For comparison second test
Pure olive oil, when heated, grows rather
lighter in color, but most other oils, like cotton
seed, peanut oil, etc., grow darker. The latter,
also, evolve penetrating and disagreeable
Odor. but olive oil has pleasant smell not
mike strawberries. This test, devised By
Merz, is at least worthy of a trial.
