The Role of Chemistry in Civilization

The Role of Chemistry in civilization.
 Let us suppose the reader rising in the morning and beginning the days duties with good wash. Here soap comes into play soap, concerning which Liebig said that it's consumption in any country might be taken as a measurement of the height to which civ- ilization had reached.
 Now, the production of soap is chemical art, praoticed in former ages by rale of thumb, but now carried out on scientific principles. But behind soap making stand two other arts, likewise founded upom chem l Iistry-alkali-making and oil and fat re- | fning If these arts are imperfectly un- i derstood or badly executed, the soap pro- 1 duced will be either bad or dear, or possibly | both.
 | But we cannot yet leave the wash stand. | If our water supply is hard, decomposing the l soap and forming an unpleasant gluey coating | over our skin, chemistry will again have to come into play. The hard water ought to be softened by the Clark process We pro- | ceed to dress, and we find that every ar.
 ticle which we put on depends for it's pro
 condition on chemical arts. Our white | undercloting has been bleached. If thii | be of cotton or linen, we are reminded O1 l the destruction of vegetable colors by chor | ine of the manufacture of bleaching pow. | der, and of Weldon's grand discovery O. | the TeSeneratlou ol mauBouese, WHICH, as hi | eminent French savant remarked Chi
 cheapened every yard of cotton cloth made il 1 the world"
 Before this series of inventions cotton ant
 linens had to be bleached by the slow pro
 cess of exposure on grass lands to the ac
 tion of air and dew and light. Turn we t.
 the colored articles of dress. These hav
 been either dried or painted. Of all tn
 industrial arts these two exhibit perhap tn, most brilliant display of the result
 of chemistry. Behind the dyer and tn printer stand the manufacturer of alum
 tin crystals, preparing salts, etc.. the ta
 refner, the maker of eoaltar colors and a
 ever widening train of other chemical indus
 trialists.

According to German scientific journal they are using electricity in India to prevent snakes going into dwellings. Before all the doors and around the house two wires are laid, isolated from one another and connect ed with an induction apparatus. When the snake attempts to enter the house or go un- der it he completes the circuit as he crawls over the two wires and if the shock he gets doesn't kill him it is likely to frighten him so that he goes away from there as soon as he can.
 The Ford immigration committee is dis cussing bill to compel all intending immi- grants to give three months notice of their intention to come to this country, and to submit to an examination by United States consular agent, or other proper officer, as to their character, antecedents and general ft- ness, upon the result of which will depend their admission to the United States. It is also recommended that provision be made for the return to their native country of im- migrants who, after two years residence in the United States, shall prove to be objec- tionable, and that the government assume control of Castle Garden.
 In many establishments in Albany, says the Journal, workingmen demand the privi- | lege of bringing beer into the factories for consumption at the noon hour, and in at l least one establishment beer is paid for by proprietors In all the lithographic estab- 1 lishments of this country, where the work if | mainly done by German workingmen, q | stipulation requires the proprietors to fur | nish beer as part of the employees wages l In one Photographic establishment in New York, where 600 men are employed, each one receives, by cantract, three pints of beer pel l day. An effort was made to break up thit system, but 50 much trouble ensued that il had to be relinquished.

A Revolution In Telephones.


 "Hello, hellol Do you hear me all right I am talking through ten thousand ohms of resistance, equal to five hundred miles,"
 "Yes, that comes perfectly plain," replied the reporter, pressing button against his throat near the Adams apple instead of talk ing to hole in the wall.
 The Lowth stettio telephone is new de- parture in the field of telephony. The in- strunent is a marked departure from the Bell telephone, and though it has no dia- phragn it transmits sound as perfectly as the Bell system. It is a combined transmit ter and receiver. A hollow extension about four inches long is attached to the receiver, from the end of which small bntton pros trudes slightly. This button is placed against the throat near the vocal cords, and the receiver is held against the ear in the usual manner. When the operator speaks the vibrations of the throat are trans mitted with distinct clearness. The instru- ment is operated not by sound waves, as Is the Bell telephone, but by the muscular vii brations that accompany the utterances of words. It is claimed by the patentees that for this reason the instrument can be used more successfully in long-distance talking thau the old system, because there is no lim-
 
 that can be used. The diaphragm of Bell instrument will orackle 50 loudly when over charged with electricity that the sound of the voice cannot be heard.
 The inventor, James Lowth, has been ex- perimenting and working on this instrument for over ten years. When he first applied for patent, three years ago, the authorities at Washington thought him crank and re. fused to issue one. He attached the instru ment to wires in the office and asked over it "What do you think nowa" Back over the wire came, '1 give in. It works perfectly Some of the best patent lawyers in the country have been consulted, and say that as the diaphragm is dispensed with the in- srtument does not in any way infringe or the Bell patents. It has been successfully operated between this city and Milwaukee and in Pittsburg it worked perfectly over . line seventy-f1ve miles in length on whiet were twenty five Bell instruments. A com pany has been organized with headquarteri in this city, and the manufacture of instru ments will soon begin.

HEIR TO 4 FORTUNE.
TAurusta Chronicle.1

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 19.-An AT
lanta English woman has just fallen
heir to an English fortune.
Her name is Mrs George +. Bates,
and ter husband is q grocer on Capital
avenue. For long while Mrs. Bates
has been assisting her husband in the
store, and with real English Teticence
let out no hint Of n prospective fortune.
Her most intimate friends never knew
even that her people were wealthy.
On Nov. % her father. Brewer Wat
kins. ESQ, died ut his home in Kent,
England. He left 4 fortune estimated
at $2.00O,00G 70 S3,00C,000, and Mrs.
Bates is one OF the three children be-
tween whom the property is to be
equally divided. This Information they
haze just received from their admins
traitor in England.
1t is SAID that Mrs. Bates married
against her fathers will. He was then
in welI-tO-Go circumstances, but the
bulk Of his wealth has been amassed
since s;h" knew comparative little
about her fathers latter day circum-
stances and the news of his death and
the fortune awaiting her was almost as
great a surprise to her as it was to her
ne;g,bors.
When called upon tonight for par
ticuiurs of the story Mrs. Bates was
selling coffee to Il negro woman. "Ive
been at it so long" she said, that pd
rather work in the store than not. I
suppose I'll work on here just as I've
been doing"

4 TRAIN ROBBER CAUGHT.
Examination of Kube Smith, who was Be
trayed by One Of His Pals.

WAYSEsBoRo, Miss, Dec. 16.-A
preliminary examination Of Rube
Suitb, accused of robbing the Mobile
and Ohio express train at Buckatuna,
Miss, took place there yesterday. Smith
and his partner, James McClung, were
captured at Amory, Miss, on Saturday
after desperate resistance on the part
Of Smith. At the examination Smith
was identified by negro named Neil
McAlli-ter as having been, with two
others, III the neighborhood Of Bucka-
tunna several days prior to the robbery,
ostensibly engaged in trapping, and all
three disappeared the morning of the
robbery.
James McClung then took the stand,
and told Of his relations with Smith
how Smith had told him all about the
Buckatanna robbery; how the matter
was planned by Smiths cousin, Rube
Burrows, the noted outlaw; how the
three robbers described themselves; as
trappers, and how they held up the
train, robbed the express car, and es-
capped. McClung asserted that be had
never heard anything Of the robbery
except from Smith. He said further
that Burrows, Smith and himself had
met at Amory, and that Burrows was
there on last Friday, the day be-
fore the arrest, but had gone to
Lamar county. The inference is that
Burrows was planning to rob the Kan
SIS City, Memphis and Birmingham
train, and was looking over the ground
with that object in view, The accused
was bound over in the sum of $5, ,00U TO
answer, and was taken to Meridian for
safe keeping.

Invitations to Christmas dinners are
being received-and, Of course, ac-
cepted.
School Commissioner Kibler visited
our school on last Wednesday. He
made a nice little speech which all en-
joyed greatly.
On last Thursday at one o'clock Mr..
Thos. w. Folk and Miss Mary C..
Dickert were united in holy wedlock
at the residence of the bride by Rev.
VIM. A. Julian. The bride and groom
were nicely attired and not at all en-
barrassed. Mr.. Tom Wicker, one of
the groomsmen made nice little con-
gratulatory speech which was much
enjoyed by all. After which came the
feast, which is always more enjoyed
than any other part of the exercises.
On the following day a brilliant recep-
ton was held at Capt Folks. Late in
the evening, before the company re-
paired to their homes, three childIen
were brought in and baptized. Thus
ended another pleasant day which will
be long remembered. Polly.
