A COURT ROOM Tragedy.

New YORK, June 27-Max Clergett
IS years old, WAS shot and instantly killed
in part / of the court of general sessions
this morning by Edward Dlvins of 81
Washington street. Ciergett had been
arraigned on the charge of rapinC Divins'
15-year-old sister and had pleaded guilty.
He was remanded for sentence. As he
turned to walk to the prisoners pen,
Divins approached him, aud, holding Il
revolver 20 Clergett's breast, fired before
he could be restrained. Clergett fell dead.
The tragedy caused great excitement in
the court room. Women screamed and
tainted, and men rushed to get at the mur-
derer and his victim. Divlns was very
COOL and submitted TO arrest without Il
struggle. Divins' outraged sister lived
with her widowed sister. who had married
Clergett'S brother.
The excitement had hardly subsidized in
the building when another scene inter
rupted trial in part of the same court
in the same building. John Hide was on
trial charged with having assaulted 5 year
old Rose Leiber. The case bad just closed
when a well-dressed maa among the spec
tators spraug TO his feet and yelled:
who's got rope! Who's got a rope,'
He was quickly pounced upon 10y several
court oncals and hustled out of the
building. He explained that his little
daughter had a charge OF the same charac-
ter against man, and that his feelings
got the better OF him.

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSIVE.
Chloride of Nitrogen So Dangerous Thai
It Has Not Been Analyzed.

Chloride of Nitrogen So Dangerous That
It Has Not Been Analysed.
The most unstable compound known
to chemistry, and therefore the most
explosive substance SO far discovered, is
chloride Of nitrogen, which probably
consists of three parts of chloride united
with one of nitrogen. Its terribly ex-
plosive character, which has so far pre-
vented its accurate analysis, is due to
the fact that it is a combination of one
of the most active with one Of the most
inert elements in nature. 1t is vola-
tile liquid of brownish color and pun
gent taste, discovered by the French
chemist, Dulong, who lost an eye and
three fingers in the operation. Fara-
day and Davy experimental on it few
years after its discovery, protecting
themselves with glass masks, which
were in turn shattered by explosions of
minute quantities of the dangerous
compound. Faraday was stunned by
the disintegration of q few drops which
he merely touched with piece of warm
cement. There is but little danger Of
chloride of nitrogen ever being used for
purposes of deliberate destruction, as
its preparation on a large scale is prac-
tically impossible It's explosive force
is not known, for the reason, according
to Pearson's Weekly, that any attempt
to determine it would probably prove
fatal to the experirnenters. According
to some authorities, the more recently
discovered compound of hydrogen and
nitrogen, known as azoimide, is even
more explosive than chloride Of nitro
gen, but this substance is still too OBJ
scure for a decisive judgment to be
formed on the subject.

HOW DUST GETS m.
The Simple Explanation of a Fact Oft
Observed,

The Simple Explanation of a Fact Often
Observed.
When the air around us becomes con-
densed-Shrinks into a smaller volume
it becomes heavier, puts greater
pressure on the surface of the mercury,
and makes it ascend in the tube; then
the mercury is said to rise. When the
air expands-swells into larger vol
ume-it becomes lighter, the pressure
on the mercury is less, the mercury
sinks in the tube. and the barometer is
said to fall. Therefore, every change
of height of the quicksilver which we
observe is sign and measure of a
change in the volume of air around us.
Further, this change in volume tells no
less uppon the air inside our cases and
cupboards. When tho barometer
falls, the air around expands
into larger volume, and the
air inside the cupboard also expands
and forces itself out at every minute
crevice. When the barometer rises
again the air inside the cupboard, as
well as outside, condenses and shrinks,
and air is forced back into the cupboard
to equalize the pressure: and, along
with the air, in goes the dust The
smaller the crevice the stronger the jet
of air, the farther goes the dirt. Wit
ness the dirt-tracks so often seen in i'm
perfectly-framed engravings or photo
graphs. Remember, ladies and gentle
men, whenever you see the barometer
rising, that an additional charge of dust
is entering your cppboards and drawers.

LORD tYTTOn'S SPEECH.
Some Peculiarities OF the Great English
Novelist.

Lytton had curious drawing man
ner of speech, his words being inter
spersed with frequent ''erras" to help
him out when he was waiting for the
proper word, says the Cornhil Mag
azine- Then, again. he would empha-
size sentence or a single word by
loudly raising mis- voice, a popularity
which gave his talk Z certain dramatic
character. j remember once when
was dining with him the conversation
turned upon the universally of belief
in a Divine Creator, and even now |
fancy | hear him saying: "When-erra-
had the honor-erra-of becoming her
majesty's secretary of state for the col
onies. made it my first b;ssiness-erra
to instruct my agents ali over the In
aabitab!e globe-erra-to report TO me
il they knew Of any nation, tribe or
coumunity-erra:" thus far he had
spoken in low, melodious voice, when
suddenly he changed his register, shot
out the following words IS from cata-
pplt: WHO did not believe IN a God =
he added that he had only found one
savage community with such want o:
belief.
