AIR GUN.

q Very Full Ono.
1t is generally known that air Is an
elastic substance, but few persons have
any idea how extremely sensitive it is
to pressure. A reporter had the fact
impressed upon him by the humorous
demonstration OF a professor in physics
whom he had called upon in a college
laboratory.
Where shall I place this empty bot
tlep" asked the professors young as
s~istant, taking from the table a wide
mouth bottle, which had been used in
some experiment before the class.
Take care; that bottle is not
empty!' replied the professor, careful
ly taking the bottle from him. "There
is something very powerful in it" He
then took a small cork from the
drawer. and holding the bottle In a
horizontal position, placed the cork In
the neck, and said 70 the assistant:
BLOW that cork into the bottle" The
boy brought his mouth quite near 10
the opening where the cork was loose
ly lying, and taking a long breath
gave a sudden puff. 10 his great sur
prise, the cork, instead OF falling into
the bottle, trembled q moment where
it lay, and then was forcibly blown
into his face.
You see," explained the professor,
with a laugh, that bottle is not
empty. 1t is 80 full Of air that no more
can be blown into it. The only effect
Of blowing against the cork was to
compress the air behind it, which is 80
elastic that the moment the pressure
was removed it expanded quickly and
forced the cork out OF the neck, ap-
parently against the current from your
lungs. When you try the experiment
with your friends you must see that the
neck OF the bottle Is perfectly dry, OF
the cork will adhere TO II and spoil tbS

IT isn't every composer who has .
Handel to his name TeIds Si[tinas.

That company in the country is a
great event is we'll known. This was
fully illustrated by the experience of a
certain Bostonian in a small town. He
was invited to take supper at the
house OF a well-to-do farmer whom he
knew, where there was a small boy
not yet beyond the high-chair stage OF
existence. OF course preparations had
been made to give the visitor a good
repast and an enjoyable evening, and
these did not pass unnoticed by the
small boy. When the family and
guest YER seated at the table the
youngster looked at the feast with
glistening eyes, then ose in his high
chair, waved his arms frantically, and
exclaimed: "Hullo, pies! Hullo, cake!
Haven't seen you for a hundred years!''

A GAS. WE'LL CRANK.
"Choking" Gas Territory as an Occupation
Veins Found by Walking Over the Ground.

BRADFORD, Pa, Feb. 22.-Chet Booeher, q
character we'll known in the gas and oil regions
as "Gas- -welicrank' Boogher, has long declared
that he could locate gas territory simply by
walking over the ground. If gas existed there
it would Instantly make it's presence known to
him, he said. by affecting him with strange
tickling sensation in his throat. For years he
has tried to impress natural-gas operators with
the Importance of this gift Of his, but only sue

harmless but annoying crank. few weeks
ago ne turned up in the Ohio gas and oil fields,
and, it seems, induced some parties
to believe that gas could be found
tract near Delphos, tract
generally regarded entirely barren of both oil
and gas. Boogher declared it was all he could
do to walk over the tract in question. because Of
the suffocatng influence the gas underground
had him. He took the parties to the place
aud walked with them over the tract. He was
to all appearances nearly choked to death while
crossing the field. The parties resolved to spend
some money in testing the territory entirely

drilled. Last Wednesday it struck vein of gas
The well was torpedo~d, and responded with
flow Of more than {, 1000, 600 feet of gas day.
Booeher is now the lion of that region. and is
overwhelmed with applications for his services

him than big gas well itself would.

MATHEW ARNoLD's LITTLE GAME.

The Dedication of tho Milton Memorial
Window Made q Private Affair.
London special to New York World
Archdsacon Farrar is getting much public
censure for permitting Mr.. Matthew Arnold to
run the dedicating ceremonies of the Milton
memorial window, on Saturday last, as a private
performance. Many Americans in London would
have been glad of the opportunity to attend,
simply out of respect to the distinguished Amer
lean doner. Archdeacon Farrar remarked a..
the opening services that not only Americans.
but En- elishmen had reason to remember Mr..
Childs's phiian thropy with gratitude; yet what
could and should have been a memorable public
servics was transformed into a small select
private entertainment for q few Pensioners of
Westminster. simply because Dir. Matthew
Arnold mortgaeed his part of the proceedings to
the American magazines. Newspaper corre-
spondentS. and reporters in particular were held
a distance. and the representative of the
World would not have been admitted If his
identity had been known TO the three men on
guard at the door
The London Times says editorially: I'VE IN.
derstand that on Saturday afternoon the Milton
window in ST. Margaret's, Westminster the
gift of Mr.. G. w. Childs, of Philadelphia, was
unveiled. and we believe an address was deliv-
cred the occasion by Mr.. Matthew Arnold.
The public were excluded and admission
fused TO the representatives Of the press by the
rector, Archdeacon Farrar"
The Evening News also wakes wroth
the matter. and calls Archdeacon Farrar to
explain.
The only explanation is the wish OF Mr.. Mat
sent to Minister Phelps, stating that If any
Americans wished to attend they might do so.
This, of course, was only availabie to the Amer
leans who happened to be at that moment al the
United States legation. With the exception Of
the World representative aud Judge w. FL. Ar
noux, Minister Pnelps and his wifs rhe
have known nothing about it ii he had
