DIR. Laine's Method of pistiil,nr.

Some interesting processes in obtain
ing distilled OF lighter products from
mineral oils have been described by DR..
Laing, Of Edinburgh, before the Royal
Scottish Society of Arts. Among these
he names the arrangement of still in
such a manner that the oil is continu-
ously being distilled into itself until the
required density is obtained. DR.. Laing
showed that radiant heat is powerful
agent in breaking down oil vapors, and
can be utilized by passing the gases as
they leave the still through super
heater at high temperature, placed
between the still and the condenser.
His ingenious method for distilling
under pressure-by means of which a
hold is kept on all the considerable gases
until liquefed-he describes. as consist
ing of relief tank interposed between
the pressure valve and the condenser,
into which the gases escape as they come
from the still, the pressure here getting
distributed over such large area that
it is practically reduced to nil, the oil
running to the receiver at ordinary at
mospheric pressure.
DR.. Laing's new form of still for pre-
venting oils being broken down, as in
distilling for lubricating oils and paraf-
fine wax, is so constructed that the nom
conducting heavy residues which are
continually forming under distillation
are constantly being removed from the
source of heat.-New York Sun.

HOW to LIGHT a solid Rosx,

Cadogan Morgan was the first elec-
trician to experiment with electric light
in solid bodies. This was in 1885. He
first inserted two wires into stick of
wood and caused the spark to pass be-
tween them. This had the effect Of il
Illuminating the stick beautiful blood
red: An ivory ball, an orange or an
apple may be lighted in the same man
ner. Some experimentefs prefer the
lemon for this purpose, it being very sus-
ceptible to the electric discharge, flash
ing forth at every spark as spheroid of
brilliant golden light. The wires used
for this purpose should be brought with
in about half an inch of each other in
side the lemon.-St. Louis Republic.

ASH BARREL. PHILOSOPHY.
The Comedy and Tragedy of Household
Recalled by Its Receptacle for Debris.

The Comedy and Tragedy of Household
Recalled by Its Receptacle for Debris.
An ash barrel overhowing with house
hold refuse!
Not very tempting object, but u vol
ume of philosophy is slowed away among
the curious debris OF this fat receptacle
on the>curbstone. Near the top is bit
of dainty fabric-a mere fragment Of a
woman's handkerchief. 1t has futtered
in the brisk sea breeze Of Newport or
Long Branch, a pretty vehicle of gay
firtations. A sad spectacle it is now
with its torn and soiled lace edging. Be-
meath this relic of the flown summer lies
the ferruled end of heavy walking
Gticls-the gift of fond mamma to her
fair haired boy, who is considered
great swell among his fellow chappies.
The cane was o bit out Of fashion when
the youngsters mother presented it, and
"the fellows of the club" you know,
guyed him about tho stick. In a fit of
anger he broke the thing over his knee
"a wondrous feat OF strength), and it
found its way next morning to the ash
barrel.
Peeping from beneath broken fruit
dish is the tiny toe of dilapidated
patent leather boot. The graceful lines
of feminine foot are still there, despite
the shabbiness. Do you think this san
dal of q modern Venus still remembers
the night that Harry Highflier begged
to drink in champagne the health Of his
adorea one from this same castoH piece
of footgear?
A battered, torn and glossless silk hat
OF date long past next comes to light.
Through what vicissitudes has this dis
carded "tile" accompanied paterfamil-
las! 1t would still be reposing in q cor
ner of an attic closet had not the wife
of the wearer's bosom thrown it in tho
rubbish pile.
What a jumble of broken objects are
overturned by the prodding hook-a
young girls glove; bunch of wilted
roses, with a card attached (compli-
ments of Dick Dovely); a fragment of
mirror, with the end Of a spray of forget
menots painted ON its silver surface;
shred of materfa1nilias' wedding dress;
q shattered Nankeen vase; q badly
cracked billiard ball and the remnants
OF II schoolboy's slate!
All, but here is a symbol of gayety--
the green nose of a pot bellied demijohn
--rotund and robust, and not q mite dis
concerted by its present unfortunate po-
sition. Its fiery contents, long since dis
appeared down the throats of men, has
helped to cheer as we'll as make foolish
the drinkers at its font. The scrap of
rug, which stands like soft wall be-
tween a sharp edged brick and the will
low clad sides of the demijohn had saved
the latter from destruction. Good luck
usually attends the wicked and unthink-
ing.
Some scraps Of paper are blown up
ward by the strong autumn breeze. They
are fragments of letter "Must have
money immediately-been foolish
lost acknowledgement to reform
your refusal--will be ruined"
Here is another scrap of paper, with
girlish scrawl on its much soiled surface:
dearest Harry-never thought--care1
for me-very happy-call soon-your
own."--New York Recorder.

Tho rory Not without His Uses.

Isn't it about time that some one at
tempted defense of the "old fogy?" In
these days there is no one more decried.
He is popularly supposed to block the
wheels of enterprise, to stand in the way
of progress, and nearly every association
has two or three of these people whom
the members would gladly throw OVER
board if they could. The odd thing about
all this is the fact that the "old fogy"
has usually been one of the creators of
the very body which seeks to be rid of
him. In the beginning he was indefati-
gable; he labored long and earnestly to
procure funds. and was at considerable
personal sacrifice to put this or that in
stitution on its feet
Now that things are finally settled
and paid for and everything is in good
running order he is disposed to let well
enough alone for little time. But this
will not do at all for the young blood
which is constantly pouring in. The
new element is full of progressive ideas
and suggestions of innovations, and
when it meets resistance on the part of
the sold fogy" there is clashine of
opinions. buffalo Courier.

Tho Wires rInder the Sea.

The worldly submarine cables now
measure about 143,011 nautical miles,
in 1,16S sections. Different governments
control s33 sections, or 1888 miles,
France claiming 3,269 miles, Great Brit
ain 1860, Germany 1879. and Italy
1,O27 miles. The remaining 335 cables,
aggregating 129,6 ,62S miles, are owned by
private companies. This great length
of cable has been nearly all made on the
banks Of the Thames, but Italy now has
cable factory, and France will soon
have two. To lay and repair the cables
requires the constant service of a spe-
cially equipped fleet of thirty-seven YES
sells of $3.50 tons.--Ohio State Journal.

s,ld Beds Besides Preaching.

An active pastor, who has now retired
from both ministerial and commercial
life, was for many years partner in an
iron bedstead business, and was not
ashamed. He was accustomed to boast
that his connection with business en-
abled him to live in good house, to
dress his wife well, to educate his chill
dren, to keep respectable table for his
friends, to help the poor and to benefit
the church, all Of which was true.-Na-

DESTRUCTIVE EARTHQUAKES.
Some OF the App Hing Disasters That
Have Visited japan.


Have visited Japan.
EARTHQUAKES are Of so frequent oc-
currence in Japan that they are looked
upon as matter of course, ana unless
they are accompanied with serious
loss of life and destruction OF property
the outside world hears little of them
Some of the earliest Japanese tradl-
lions. saws Harper's Weekly, are OF ex-
tremely destructive earthquakes, and
many fanciful tales are told OF those
which happened previous to the times
of trustworthy historical records. But
there are many authentic records OF
earthquakes which destroyed whole
cities The most serious OF these dls-
turbances in recent times was that OF
1855, when, in Yedo, which was the
center of the quake, 1924 dwelling
houses and 1,649 fireproof storehouses
were overturned. In the last days OF
the mast October there was very seri-
Gus earthquake about Gifu and Nagoya,
and there was great loss OF life and
property. There were slight earth
nuakes on Sunday, October 25th,
and these continued with increas.
ing severity until the morning OF the
following Friday. During the last two
DAYS of the quake, 1858 distinct
shocks were felt and recorded. At Gifu
the houses tumbled down aud caught
fire, and those people not caught in the
ruins fed to the country and the hills;
but in nearly every hose it is reported
that one or more unfortunate victim
was caught. How great the loss OF life
has been has not yet been reported, but
enough is known to place the loss al
several thousands. When the hrs'
shocs was felt at Gifu the up and down
trains on the Takaido railway were
lust meeting. The shock was accom-
panied by rumbling sound, and the
people on the train thought that there
had been collision. On looking out o.

station in ruins, and the water in
