A SIMPLE METHOD OF ANALYSIS.

teresting experiment by separating the
soluble salt. 1t is only necessary to
place little gr1npowder in a glass half
filled with water and allow it to stand
for day or so in a warm place-such
as sunny window-sill.
The saltpeter will first dissolve in
the water, and then creeping up the
sides OF the glass will crystalize
around the edge as show in the illus
tration. The creeping property of
certain salts is a very interesting
| and sometimes o very annoyine-one
to the chemist. Ammonia chloride,
or sal ammoniac, possesses it in a
high degree. and it may often be observ-
ed incrusting the edges of electric bat
teries, in which it's ISOLATION is used as
an exciting agent. It may beprevent-
ed by covering the edges of the vessel
containing it with grease, wax or par
affin.
The residue left in the tumbler con-
sists of sulphur and charcoal, but
there IS no simple method of separat-
ing them. The sulphur will dissolve
in blsulphide OF carbon, but we can
not recommend the use Of this inf1am-
mable and offensive liquid to the anna

Sinking Far Out at Sea,
On August 4th the North German
Lloyd steamer, Saale, crashed into the
Norwegian bark, Tortoise-shell, off the
banks of Newfoundland. The crew of
the sailing vessel was saved, but the
bark sank. A young woman on
board thus describes the wreck:
eve were all at dinner, when there
came thud: and the ship stopped.
We had been moving very slowly, and
the shock stopped us, but not with
enough of a jerk to spill the water in
the glasses or tip anything over. A
number of people screamed, and be-
gan running around. Somebody look
ed out of a port hole, and then told
me to come on deck to see the other
vessel sink.
"It was a magnificent sight. The
vessel had all sails set. When we
reached the upper deck all the men
had been rescued, so we could appre-
ciate the sight. The beautiful thing
acted AS if--living. 1t leaned first to
one side and then to the other, rock
ing like creature in pain, and then
slowly righted itself, and trem bling
like an aspen, began to slip out of
sight.
FThere was not a. sound on the
Saale axcept the 'hush-hush-hush' of
a little escaping steam. Slowly, and
yet, oh, so swiftly, the vessel sank in
to the water, which was blue as sap
phires, and dimpled as if smiling. The
shipwrecked sailors removed their
caps and saluted, then remained un-
covered until the last bit of masts
and rigging had disappeared, and not
q ripple on the surface OF the water
betrayed their loss.
"1t was only four and a: half minutes
from the time of the collision until the
last thread OF sail had disappeared,
yet, it seemed very long. 1t brought
tears to the eyes Of men, as we'll as
women, to see that beautiful ship
slip out of sight as it did,

A Tale From the West,

last been beaten for marvelousness.
A bright young man on the Washing
ton Post, who has recently returned
from Iowa, states that he encounter
ed q farmer one day standing at the
foot OF an enormous corn-stalk. After
saluting the tiller OF the soil, the Wis
itor asked:
"How bi. is your corn?''
II don't know" answered the
farmer. II sent one of my boys to
see a little while ago, and Pm worried
to death about him."
How so?' Can't he get back?"
''rhas's the trouble" sighed the
farmer "The cornstalk is growir'
up faster than lie can climb down."

A Chicago Idea.

1t appears that in Chicago are per-
sons who spit tobacco on the street car
floors. 1t appears further that in that
great city are other persons who object
tothis selfish and filthy practice. Some
body. has placed in the cars placards
bearing these strange and striking de-
vices:

Reports from the seat of war are en-

FREQ Coinage of silyer.

Senators have taken early opportunity
to lock horns on tho silver question.
Tho debate would DO valuable il it had
brought out nothing else than Senator
Morrill's admirable summary Of the
points OF objection to the free and un.
limited coinage OF silver. Tho INrELLI.
dENcER .commends this summary to
every voter, for. it relates to ono OF the
great questions upon which tho electors
Of the country will presently DO called
on to express themselves:
Ihayc attempted to demonstrate: First, that
tho depreciation Of silver Is both so great and
4 universal that unlimited coinage could not DO

second-That unlimited coinage would inter
dict all international silver contacts. "a =
Thlrd-That there Is no scarcity OF money In
circulation, but instead, the amount Is twice as
great as 1t was in 1872 and Is increasing on can.
Fourth-That silver standard would be
equivalent 10 horizontal reduction Of tariff OF

FIith-That tho enormous increase Of silver, to
tho extent Of four times the product OF ISL. co.

age by the United States must prove disastrous
national blunder.
sixth-There Is no magic in any law OF any
Congress which can make the world accept an
ounce OF silver as worth any mort In coin than
In bullion. ..Stl s-.4 -;9sss--''5 ~ 4,
seyenth-The partIe, 10 tho first profit by the
free coinage would be tho corporate owners OF
silver mines only, and thu partleJ to finally SUI
far the In lnSg hv II would ha this m
OF our people, into whose hands desrcciatcd coin
and the Treasury notes would finally pass.
Tho argument thus presented in a
nutshell is simply unanswerablo. SEN
ator Teller, silver senator, did not
answer it in his long speech following
Senator Morrilrs. Senator Stewart, the
author Of the pending measure, did not
answer it and was forced to admit that
the present law requiring the purchase
of4,5O0, 900 ounces Of silver every month
had not made silver equal to gold as he
predicted it would.
The fact is that the silver men, shav.
ing been granted moro than; they ever
dreamed! of getting, are not satisfied
with what, they have and arc in the
notifying position Of having their best
arguments overthrown by experience.
Until the rest OF the world joins with
US silver cannot be made the equal Of
gold, and the moment we decide to try
it alone the world will conclude that ii
has too good thing in our minis TO in.

after only fourteen months imprison-

+sA 4 Monster 4 Evergreen 4 NurSerya e.

The annual catalogue of the Evergreen
Nurseries, of Evergreen, Wis, has been
issued, and this Office has been favored
with a copy. They list fully 300 varieties
of coniferous evergreens. Some of them
are very strange and unique in form and
habit of growth. They have been to
great pains and expense to secure seeds
and plants of evergreens found native in
all parts of the earth. If a man wants
evclgreens cheap but good, for screens,
groves, windbreaks, or hedges, there is
no better place to 60 in America. If n
man is fond Of the marvellous strange and
c~urions forms in nature, there is no other
place in this country where his fancy can
be satisfied with rare and beautiful ever
greens.
The nurseries are growing the plants
in immense numbers, planting the seeds
by the ton. They imported from one
seed house in Germany last season 1900
pounds besides all they gathered in this
country, getting large quantities from
| Colorado, California, Washington, and
all the western states and territories. 1t
Is well worth any mans while to send for
their lists.
