Under the head OF alcohol and

some very sensible views, which are
given In the Burlington Ha1rhcye.
and they open up some neS Ideas.
which arc especially recommended
to the ''rcligio zealots" to try anu

art, science and chemistry, Is what
money Is to commerce. manufacture
and trade. 1t Is one OF the main
factors in social development, fine

tends that II freely dissolves nitrous
oxide, curbonic acid, phosphoratcd
hydrogen, cyanogen, apd the several
hydro carbons. Amongst mineral
substances which 1t dissolves may
be mentioned iodine, bromine. bor-
acic acid, the hydrates Of potash and
soda; the chlondes Of calcium, stron-

gold; the per chloridcs OF iron, cor

the matter from practical st;,nd-
point, he surveys the states where

finds, first, in Maine. after thirty

that in ratio as We prohibit the
