STORIES OF THE DAY.



There Is an old man In this CITY Who
since the death OF his wife and daughter
from typhoid fever some years ago, has
had a perfect horror of the disease.
Yesterday he was seated In crowded
electric car on Market street. Beside
him sat a handsome young girl, and
hanRisg forward from strap stood a
young fellow in front OF her with whom
she chatted pleasantly. The fellow
dearly coveted the old Rentleman's seat,
so STOPPING down he whispered word In
the girls ear. Then hracing himself up,
he inquired:

THE favorlte Commissioner OF this ad
ministration has met an accident. That
is his refrigerator scheme has been ex-
posed by the Naval Department ex-
aminers Raum has been hustling around
claiming that his wonderful refrigerine
salt would freeze the tail of brass mon
KEY and when mixed with one and half
times its weight Of water, would form
the refrigerating brine which would do
the work, aud could be recovered by evap-
Grafton over aud over again without ma
terial loss Of quantity or efficacy. He
wanted the Navy Department to use the
stuff and obtained trial the report Of
which infinitely describes the appliances
and says that after Raum's formula had
worked thin layer of Ice was formed on
the surface OF the moles, aud that the
formation soon ceased. Ten pounds
more Of the salt were asked for. says
THE report, land after long delay OBJ
tanned" This gave an opportunity to
analvze the stuff, the result being
stated In the following language:
An analysis OF the refrigerlne salt
shows that IL is composed of nitrate Of
ammonia, 90 g.; water, 1888; insoluble
matter (oxido OF iron, etc.)
rs; sulphate Of magnesium and
sodium, 81; chloride Of am
monis trace; total, 100 per cent.
The aitrate OF ammonia is the active
agent, and the remaining constituents
have little or no refrigeIating effect.
All sorts Of practical tests were made
and crushing report Of them utterly
precludes the use OF tue stuff by the
navy, and demonstrates that Raum's
patents are worthless swindles. How
can President Harrison keep Refrigera.

says that the story recently printed that

from watery grave at Atlantic City is
not true. They are Russian water

miles to rescue those poodles He saws
that an actual survey Of the course over
which he swan measures only nine and
three quarters miles, and the insiuuation
that he would lie for the trifie Of q
