Freezing the Gases.

Since the scientific world was sur
prised, in 1877, by Cailletet's and
Picket's announcement of the produc-
ton Of liquefied oxygen, several ex-
perimenters - especially Wroblewski
and Olzewski-have successfully at
tackled the problem OF liquefying the
so-called permanent gases. 1t was at
first thought necessary to employ great
pressure in addition to great cold, but
In the later researches both oxygen
and nitrogen, as well as atmospheric
air, have been made liquid by intense
cold at very moderate pressures.
Among the interesting results obtained
are the following: At 1852 degrees be-
low zero Fahrenheit chlorine forms
orange-colored crystals; at 175 degrees
below hydrochloric acid is solid; at
200 below ether solidifes; at 202 below
alcohol freezes; at 900 below oxygen
boils; at 312 below air boils; and at
377 below air boils in vacuum. These
extraordinary temperatures were meas
ures by means of q hydrogen Their
mometer and by thermopile. The
lowest temperature yet measured is
373 degrees below zero, which was
produced by the evaporation of solid
nitrogen on suddenly reducing the
pressure. From these results It APP
pears probable that every known sub
stance within the reach of man will be
eventually obtained in solid form by
the mere withdrawal of heat.

The MikadO.

1t is seventeen years since the real
Mikado was brought into power by rev.
olution. He was then but sixteen years
of age. The empire was then q militia
ry encampment and he found feudal
system wherein 10000 men were main
tanned for war. He Immediately began
reforms. He made the dependent the
free, and the feudal rulers the subordi-
mates. He made men freeholders, in
perpetual tenure of their lands. He
insured as great protection to life and
property as may be enjoyed. His code
of laws he modelled after those of En-
gland and the United States, establish
ing sufficient Judiciary. He gathered
about him broad, sound, and progress
i've counselors. He rules an empire
already having 800 miles of railroad,
5000 miles of telegraph wire, unsur-
passed postal facilities, with postal
savings bank system worthy of imita-
ton in this country. He has built q
navy and can repair ships with the best.
AS great, if not greater, than what he
has accomplished is what he has pro-
claimed he proposes to do, and that is,
in 1890, to convert his empire into
a constitutional empire, with Parlia-
ment exercising the delegated authority
of the people. 1t will be seen from
this that the Mikado is really q pro-
gressive ruler, and that he has no idea
of allowing his country again to re-
lapse into semi-barbarism.

Arsenic for Fatlening Purposes.

In Vienna, the use of arsenic is a
very common occurrence among horse
dealers, and especially with the coach
men of the nobility. They either shake
it in pulverized state among the corn,
or they tie bit the size of pea in o
piece OF linen, which they fasten to the
curb when the horse is harnessed, and
the saliva of the animal soon dissolves
it. The sleek, sound, shining appear
ance of the carriage horses, and espe-
cially the much admired foaming at
the mouth, is the result of the arsenic
feeding. 1t is an ordinary practice
with the farm servants in the mountain
ous parts to strew pinch of arsenic on
the last feed of hay before going up
steep road. This is done for years
without the least unfavorable result;
but, should the horse fall into the
hands of another owner who withholds
the arsenic, he loses flesh Immediately,
is no longer lively, and even with the
best feeding there is no possibility of
restoring him to his former sleek APP
pearance.

Thacksray was the son of an Indian
civil servant, and his grandfathers
were Indian civil servants, both on the
fathers and the mothers side. He was
born at Calcutta, In July, 1871, aud
was thus but one year older than
Charles Dickens. When he was Ave
years old he lost his father, and his
mother married again while he was o
boy. From India William Makepesce
Thackeray was brought to London as
q child, and sent to the Charterhouse.
He was gentle and sensitive, with q
quick sense OF fun then as in after
years. He carried into manhood-as
part of the strength of manhood more
of the charm of child's nature than
men usually keep unspoilt by the expe-
rience OF life. Pans of life only added
to his kindliness Much of his higher
comic writing has its charm in q rare
union of nature wit with q childlike
playfulness. At the age of eighteen
Thackersy kept few terms at Trinity
College, Cambridge. He did not stay
to graduate. Then he went to Paris,
to study art. When he came Of age
there was little fortune for him of
$500 year. 1t was soon lost, chiefly
by q newspaper speculation. He felt
that he was not born to succeed as
painter, and was drawn, as he
had been even when a schoolboy,
to the use OF the pen. His nose
had been broken in a school fight
at the Charterhouse. Michael An
gelo, too, had his nose broken. But
Thackeray was not to be Michael
Angelo; he dubbed himself playfully
michael Angelo Titmarsh. In 1887
and 1888 he was writing in Fraser's
Magazine "The Great Hoggarty Dia-
mond, and in the year 1887 he married.
After the birth of three daughters, one
of whom died in childhood, there came
into Thackeray's life an abiding sorrow.
His wife's mind failed. He worked on,
all sensitive tenderness within, and
half afraid of the unchildlike people
against whom he asserted himself by
making them the victims of his frolic-
some burlesque or satire. Not long after
the establishment of Punch, in 1S41,
Thackeray found in that paper a
playground for his wit. But there
was no full recognition of his genius
until the appearance of "Vanity Fair"
when he was thirty-six years old.
"Pendennis," another novel, followed,
and while this was being written
Thackeray had an illness which left
him subject to painful spasmodic
attacks. There was suffering enough
in mind and body to bring the gray
hairs before their time, but there re-
NAMED the childlike heart, with the
sympathetic insight of the man of
genius, the ready play of humor, and
the sociable yet sensitive nature, more
of itself with three or four friends
than with thirty. By his lectures on
"The English Humorists" and "The
Four Georges" in England and in
America, 1hackeray secured lasting
provision for his family. He added to |
his first novels, "The Newcomes,
"Esmond," and "The Virginians," be-
fore the Cornhiu Magazine was estab- |
lished under his editorship. That was
in 1859. He withdrew from the editor
ship in April, 1862, but continued to |
contribute. In 1863 all English Christ |
mas days were saddened by the news |
that, on the day before, Thackeray had |
died suddenly.
