am Indifferent as to the result OF the
GuDernatorial contest, is received.
Such action. by any person or alleged
friend, is entirely unwarranted and un-
authorized by any act or declaration of
mine. So far from being Indifferent as to
the result, I am, of course, anxious to
and influence OF every loyal Democrat in
the State.
Although restrained by my official posi-
tion from any participation in the cam
paign, feel l can with proprietv make
this statement, in justice not only to my
self but to the party whose nominee am.
Icould appreciate the motives of the
friends You allude to more highly were
not fully aware that they are prompted
rather By longing desire for the success
of the Republican party than anxiety for
the welfare of the Democratic candidates.
Yours very truly,

wonders Of Fluorine Gas.

Silicon, a crystalline substance closely
resembling the diamond, exposed to
fuorine gas, gives very beautiful reac-
tion, showers of brilliant spangles being
scattered in all directions from the
white hot crystals, which are finally
melted. AS they do not fuse under
2,19O degs. Fahrenheit, one can gain
some idea Of the immense energy sci
free during the combination. Both lime
and chalk under the same circumstances
give a most gorgeous incandescence.
Phosphorus, as one might expect, does
not fail to illustrate its powerful affinity
when exposed to the gas. Prussian blue
reacts very beautifully and burns with
pink flame. A crystal of iodine placed

Indian Idols.

The images of the Gods in India are
not made by a separate caste, but the
carpenters and masons respectively
make the large wooden and stone idols
set up in the temples, the potters the
clay idols consumed in daily worship,
and the braziers, coppersmiths and gold
smiths the little images in brass, copper,
mixed metal and gold and silver that are
always kept in private homes. The East
Indians regard an alloy of brass with
six other metals-gold, silver, iron, tin,
lead, making with the copper, and zinc
of the brass, mixture Of light metals
as a perfect alloy, and this is highly
priced as material for sacred images.

Upon one occasion he gave his order
for three as usual, and when the hour
for dinner arrived he called to his host:

That thrills the trembling wave far out at seal
What strange, wild longing draws rosistlessly

From lure Of sunny skies and soft winds free,
Th6y hurry on in passionate ecstasy,
And, breaking, die upon the faithless sand.
