Professor Dewar has succeeded in the pro-
duction of solid oxygen. At the Royal insti-
tuition he lately exhibited for the first time to
few friends the methods he employs. The
successful device depends upon allowing
liquid oxygen to expand into partial vacuum,
when the enormous absorption of heat which
accompanies the expansion results in the pro
duction Of the solid substance. Oxygen in
this condition resembles snow in appearance,
and has a temperature of 200 degrees G.
below the freezing point of water. A supply
of this material will enable chemists to APP
proach the absolute zero of temperature, and
to investigate many interesting changes in
the physical properties of bodies under the
primordial condition Of the temperature OF
space.

Abstinence From Alcohol.

There is at present undoubtedly a wide
spread interest in this subject. There is q
wave or movement in favor of teetotalism
passing over both this country and Great
Britain. The reasons for total abstinence are
put upon purely health grounds. 1t has
been found by repeated experiment that doing
altogether without anything that contains
alcohol, as wine, beer, whisky, ale or porter,
makes the head clearer, the digestion better,
the sleep sounder and sweeter and the gen.
eral health 100 per cent. better.
A remarkable fact about the new move
ment is that it is most popular among
the more intelligent classes. The brain work
ers, writer's, editors and scientific men are
becoming teetotalers in numbers They do it
because they find they can accomplish more
and better work without it and endure longer
hours. Many of them are even stopping the
use of meat, and using only eggs, milk
and cheese for their animal food. They also
do without tea and coffee, substituting milk
in place of these.
There is theory about this new departure
which sounds plausible The race, and espe-
cially the American people, are developing
the nervous system beyond anything hitherto
known. People are becoming more finely
strung, more delicately organized. This is
true The unheard of prevalence of nervous
diseases in our time proves it.
With this highly organized nervous system
food and drink must necessarily become more
delicate and less in quantity. The huge
gorges of flesh and gallons of strong drink
our alf-civilized ancestors used to indulge in,
and then lie down like dumb brutes and sleep
it of, would kill the person who should at
tempt such feat now. But even this was
nothing to our ancestors still further back,

with aw, bloody meat, tearing it apart with

Chains and RinRs.


There is tendency to cluster rings. They
have been seen in leading houses, not only
finger rings with the gems set in clusters, but
ear rings and scarf pins as we'll The usual
arrangement is choice colored gem in the
center, with small diamonds or pearls set
around it, or diamond in the center with
small colored gems for the border So far
these gem clusters have been small, about the
size of an old -fashioned three-cent piece or a
gold dollar.
While the Queen remains the popular chain
for ladies' wear, other styles are permissible,
especially if these be out Of the culinary. A
unique chain seen recently consisted of two
slender strands madss mp ~ nl.eplAsa> Npks of
gold and platina, and barred OH, here and

The movement for the establishment Of

the Importance of the project. Words Of

the glum voice Of the croaker is not heard
at all. The optmist is abroad wearing his
blandest smile, and the pessimist consider
ately declines to show up.
Statesmen, business men, men in public
life, and men in private station concur in
the opinion that such an exposition is de-
manded on the most substantial grounds Of
sound public policy.
Senators, representatives, department

gentlemen Of leisure from all parts of the
country speak of the enterprise in terms of
unqualified approval.
The utilitarian Is in favor of II because he
believes 1t will be profitable in the develop

tunity to avail itself of that which Is best in
all. Science, literature, and art hail It as

isprofoundly stirred by the present unhappy
condition Of the Democratic party. Nor is
this fact surprising, for, when the New

their ponderous and prodlgious respecta-
bility TO the Democrats for the campaign of
1884, the party Of the second part agreed, in
consideration Of such loan, to behave itself
in seemly manner-seemly in the eyes Of
the Mugwumps, regardless Of Democratic
notions Of proprlety.
The party Of the second part, to wit, the
Democracy, has defaulted. In the opinion

Democracy has done those things 1t ought
not to have done, has left undone those
things It ought to have done, and there is

Dr. John L. Buchanan, state superintendent
Of the public schools OF Virginia, "spoke
very bitterly Of the motives which actuated

make use Of thepeculiar condition OF things
there TO turn the old shareholders against
their former slaves, and to produce distrust
among the colored people against their

There has been too much Of this kind of
talk and 1t is time for an interruption. The
people Of the north have not desired to create
unpleasant relations between the races in
the south. Millions of money have been
sent from the north to aid the south In
educating the colored youth Of that section.
