OZONE CHEAP.

The production OF ozone on a commercial
scale, available for use in hospitals and In
maDy other ways as an oxidizing agent Of
great power, appears now to be a realized
fact under "a process discovered by NJ
Emile Andreoi of London. Heretofore
ozone, which is clearly All allotropic form
-of oxygen. has only. been obtainable in.
minute quantities. at great cost. It's pro-
dncyion. was so uncertain that, although
discovered acentury ago, it was long a de.
batable- element around which hinged
many speculations. The desideratlim of

LESSONS OF THE FAIR.

The Chicago Times wakes quite en-
phatic and peremptory in declarations of
" hat would not be done were the Worlds
Fair TO be again held. This is in contra
diction OF the optimistic cheerfulness that
whatever mistakes. there have been the
whole programme would be carried out
airesh precseTya as it has been. The truth
is that Chicago, which is eminently prac-
tical, has learned much by hard expert
ence from. its experiment.. Ithas wasted a
great dealOf money preciptately and in

and it might have had as good an exhi BIZ

are possibly of value 10 those. who are pro-
noting other exhibitions, there being a

fore, they are matched, and to launch out
into. expenditure on too vast a scale

A nYSTERY STILL.

The inquiry into the loss OF the White
Star steamer Naronic, which went down
In the Atlantic with all on board, has re-
suited in the conclusion that the cause
cannot be ascertained. There are half a
dozen ways probably in which the vessel
may have toundered, but to attempt to fix
upon any one definitely is utterly impos-
sible The utmost the court would saw
was that collision with iceberg is highly
improbable. taking into account the re-
ports of ice at the time. Nothing in the
nature of cargo warrants the ASSUMPTION
that there was spontaneous combustion to
cause fire or that an explosion occurred
In every respect the Naronic was a splendid
freight steamer, well equipped, with: an
excellent crew. From the fact that two
boats were sighted near Cape Sable it may
be inferred that the disaster was not Of
such a nature as to send herto the bottom
at once, hut this circumstance also accords
with stormy passage and heavy . sea
sweeping the boats from the davits. Years

The Hebrew women had learned in
Egypt all the fashionable yanities and car
ried them with them into the deserts and
afterward into the land of Canaan As in
these days, the profuse use Of cosmetics
by women caused odious comparisons, and
there were besides prophets like Isaiah,
Jeremiah and Ezekiel who discoursed on
the vanities of the fair sex with plainness,
a brutality even, SURPRISING that of John
Knox preaching to Mary, queen OF Scots.
The experience Of the world has shown that
tho reproofs and warnings of preachers are
powCrless against female vanity, and the
prophets of Israel were no exception, for
among the women of the chosen people
the practice in question was common If
not universal In the Proverbs of Solomon
the son, when he is advised to keep the
commandments Of his father and the law
of his mother, he is especially counseled not
to be taken by the eyelids of women, from
which it would appear that the use OF kohl
pIacticed by the women of modern Egypt,
was then known. Kohl is obtained by
burning and crushing frankincense or the
shells of almonds. There are similar suE-
gestions in the prophets. Jezehel, queen
of King Ahaziuh, who is remembered only
for her badness and her tragic death, wish
ing to appease Jehu, who had just slain
her husband, painted her face, tired her
head and looked out of a window. The
sacred historian leaves it uncertain whether
or not it was the painted face that aroused
the ire Of Jehu-whch was hardly posi-
BILE, for he must have seen many such
but he ordered her to be thrown out OF the
window, end she was trodden under the
feet Of his horses and afterward devoured
bS jaGkals. San Francisco Chronicle.
