The Absolute Zero.

At the Royal Institute recently, Prof.
Dewar exhibited for the first time solid
oxygen. Last year the professor gave
a lecture before the Prince of Wales on
liquid air, but although he and other ex
perimenters had made liquid oxygen in
small quantity, yet no one had succeeded
in getting oxygen into the solid condi-
tion. The successful device employed at
the Royal Institute depends upon allow
ing liquid oxygen to expand into a par
tial vacuum, when the enormous absorp-
ton of heat which accompanies the ex.
pansion results in the production of the
solid substance. Oxygen in this condition
resembles snow in appearance, and has
a temperature about two hundred
degrees centigrade below the freezing
point of water Equal to 1898 degrees,
Fahrenheit, below zero.l A supply of
this material will enable chemists to ap-
proach the absolute zero of temperature.

Charley Adams on California.

In remiiting his annual dues for the
JOURNAL, Mr.. Chas. G. Adams, OF Orange
county, Florida, jots down a few thoughts
in private letter upon his flying trip from
Perrysburg TO California 10 take view of
the orange interests in that country. II
will be remembered that lie remained out
on the trip until the last day that his re-
turn ticket 10 Florida would admit Of aud
only had one night at his old home in the
'surg. As Charley has had ten years prac.
tical experience in !ropical frui: raising in
Florida, we copy below some extracts from
his observations in California
My trip to the west was hurried one,
but nevertheless quite an enjoyable one.
Went over the A. T. & s. F., A. & p. and
S. p. Visited Los Angeles, Cotton, Passa-
dena, San Bernar dino, other towns in
Southern California, and San Francisco
Was there Aug. 81 at the grand parade of
the q. A. X, of the us. Returned over
the &. p. 4 D. and Rio Grande. Stopped
over at Ogden and Salt Lake City took Il
run down :he famous San Luis Valley,
back TO Pueblo, then on to Perrysburg.
The orange industry in Southern Califor.
MIA is Immense. At Riverside you can
drive for miles through orange groves; but
the dust | it is terrible. Everything is
covered completely, aud i, is impossible TO
get out OF reach Of it. 1t permeates every
where,
Think Northern California will, perhaps,
rank ahead OF Southern California IN tile
growth Of citrus fruits in a few years, as
they can put their fruit upon the market
two to 6ve weeks earlier than Southern Cal.
This seems TO be strange but il is claimed
10 be true, and they do not have the fogs 10
cont end with that the Southern counties
have, which makes their fruit so dark and
dirty. The coast counties may he troub-
led with fogs, more or less, but the back
counties are not. But the true Florida
orange Will hold its own with any Of them.

Men and Boys.-You are boys now, but
you will soon be men. Then you will
have your own way to make in the
world. Do you mean to be idle and
fearful, and deceive people, and give
them bad opinion of you? Or do you
intend to go TO work, and act bravely
and nobly, and do your duty, and leave
name behind you when you die which
the world will love and respect? Take
care-now is the time Did you ever
notice a large tree that grew crooked
and was ali ugly eye-sore on that ac-
count? Perhaps it stood on the lawn,
right in front of the porch, and your fa-
ther would have liked very much to
straighten it, 1t was impossible to do 80.
A hundred horses could not have drag
ged it erect. And yet think of the time
when the large tree was a sapling a
child might have Strengthened it then,
and it would have grown properly, and
every one would have admired it. By
this mean that boys ought to grow
straight, not crooked. You are young
now, as the tree was once begin in
time, and you will be as straight as an
arrow when you are man. II you
wait, it will be too late. The way to
make men erect and noble is to take
them when they are boys and show
them that there is nothing in this world
so noble as doing their duty. Once more
say. remember that though you are
boys now you will soon be men.
You may do good or evil. If you are
false and worthless, you and every body
else will have hard time of it. You
m ay be soldiers, judges, statesmen, and
Presidents. What you say or do may
decide the fate of millions of other peo-
pie. These will look to you and more
than all, God will watch you, and hold
you to a strict account. II you are
brave and true and unselish, Heaven
will bless you and every one who knows
you will love and respect you. II you
are mean aud cowardly, and think OF
nothing hut your own pleasure, God
and man will hate you. Which will
you be The greatest OF all things is tc
DO pure and do your duty.-ROne Reetty

ED. JOURNAL You were in error in
stating that the Wood County Agricult-
ural society presented Judge Tuller with
$50 gold.headed cane. The Society
did not present it. The presentation
was made by individual friends. While
the Judge has always been a friend of
the Wood County Fair, he also holds
stock in the Wood County Fair Compa

fer dividend to an assessment from

The leading editorial in Frank Leslie'r
Illustrated Newspaper, is on the saloon in
politics, taking as a tex, an assertion made
by writer in the Atlantic: "Our po-
lilical schools are the saloons, and they
give tone to our politics-city, state, ma
tional." Among other good things the
author says: at snot a pleasant thing
for mothers oil America TO contemplate the
training Of their sons in such school.
1t consorts but poorly with the manhood
of American fathers. that they should re-
main under the power of the s,loon which
has been such shameless despotism."

the market for that kind Of labor is 80 over
stocked that the greedy manufacturers
take advantage of it. Why is the market
over stocked? Because hundreds of thous.

homes by the saloons, and must work Tor
what they can get, or starve. Down with
the saloons and save these women.
