Some interesting processes in obtain
ing distilled or lighter products from
mineral oils have been described by DIR.
Laing, Of Edinburgh, before the Royal
Scottish Society Of Arts. Among these
he names the arrangement OF IA still in
such manner that the oil is continu-
ously being distilled into itself until the
required density is obtained. DIR. Laing
showed that radiant heat is "A 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 disulling
under pressnre-by means of which a
hold is kept ON all the considerable gases
until liquefied--he describes as consist
ing Of a 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 a large area that
1t 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.

Fuel Gas.

burned instead of fuel gas. Servants

purgatory of coal, ashes and dust, a ma
jority of householders prefer to pay the
advanced price.
They are right. In the cramped quar-
tiers to which mankind are reduced in a
town house OF fat coal burning in the
household is the one crying nuisance
that must be abolished. 1t has been
hoped that electricity would show the
way out of the domestic coal pit, but
electricity does not seem in a hurry
about it.

devise a fuel gas that can be manufac-

something New In the Girl Line.

There is a girl in San Francisco who
can cure headaches-cure them without
bit of medicine. She just lays her hand
on the aching head and that settles the
whole matter There's something pecu.
liar about the girls hands. They arc
white and shapely and very nice to look
at, but to touch-ughl they're as cold as
ice. More than that, they are always
dripping wet, these strange hands. It's
an eerie thing to see handsome, healthy
girl lift her hands and let an icy dew
fall from the tips of her fingers. She can
do that any time she wants to, and never
feels the least annoyed at the awe of the
beholders.
She is tall, handsome young woman,
who has never been i'll in her life. She
is rosy checked and bright eyed. She
works in q big, hot factory down
town, and she can cure any girl in the
place of headache or any kind of pain.
She doesn't go through strange evolu-
tions or weird incantations. She just
pushes back her sleeves and lays her
cold, wet hands OF the aching head. The
patient feels a qneer, creepy, shivery
sensation crawling down her back. The
cold hands move slowly across the hot
forehead of the sufferer; the throbbing
pain stops; the twitching of the eyelids
ceases. and the headache is gone.-San

that half Of our dark age college learn

room. What a nation shall do about

We Are Constantly Changing.

Life consists of series of changes of It's
sue. and the human economy is simply, as
far as its material part is concerned, a
machine and primarily depends on food
as the most important factor in keeping
it in working order. When it is said that
we commence to die as soon as we are
born it of course means that certain
parts of the body Immediately begin to
perish; their existence is ephemeral;
they come, go, are replenished and de-
cay. They are the dying parts of that
system of life which may last little
while, but which must eventually yield
to the inexorable laws of nature
The nails, the hair, etc., are observ-
able as instances of this decay. The
same rule applies to.every other organ
and tissue of the body, though it is not
palpable to the naked eye. The skin is
always peeling. The food that is taken
in the one hour nourishes the system and
elects that which was taken the hour
before. e.-New York Advertiser.

The Profession of Politics.

There is very little money and not
much fun in politics as trade, in the
Judgment of Ex-senator George F. Ed
munds, who writes of this subject in
The Forum. Forty years of experience
enables the ex-senator 80 speak by the
book.
He says everybody ought to be a
politician to the extent of understand
ing political systems and "the substan-
tial character and probable effect Of
laws" Beyond that it is well for the
average citizen to give politics a wide
berth, particularly potboiling politics.
1t is practically impossible for man by
honest politics" to provide living for
his family. A political career has at
fractions and destinations, but it must
never be INDUCED in to the exclusion of
some private occupation whereby the
politician earns his living, unless he
have an ample fortune. The best
political career is before the man who
earns his living in some honest occupa-
tion and is in contact and sympathy
with his fellow men in this respect. The
last, low downest of all politicians is
the fellow who looks to public Office as
trade or profession. Such politician
is a menace to community and ought
TO be abolished
There are few men who enter po-
litical life to advocate some principle
and influence their fellow men to adopt
it. Such men require infinite strength
of soul and patience, and unless they
have these and are made of sterner
stuff than most they will be apt to look
back on their careers with regret, if not
with bitterness. These are the men,
However, who move the world.
Don't go into politics for living, says
the ex-senator. 1t is a bitter way of
earning it. But if man has compe-
tence already, and loves power and ex-
element, the political field is an invit-
ing one. Mr.. Edmunds writes:
The patriotic citizen who applies himself to
the study and practice of politics must have
his worldly competence already assured, or he
must starve or be tempted to forget or disregard
his patriotism-obe of he essential elements OF
which is honesty-and pursue politics as trade
from which personal and pecuniary gain is to
be derived. In the first case, if the man with
competence becomes politician it Is from the
patriotic motive pure and simple of doing
good ~ lis fellow men, without selfish ambi-
tion of his own, or he follows it from desire
to attain station and place of power, or his
ultimate motive may be blending of both of
these.
If he be the rare individual who pursues
politics from the first mentioned motive and
aspires TO nothing but to study and under
stand the institutions of his country and to
make known his knowledge and the reason Of
1t to his fellow citizens, he is indeed living
beneflcence, and the more of such politicians
lcountry can possess the better.

The St. Gothsrd runnel Dethroned.

The great st. Gothard tunnel, which
was begun Oct. |, 1912, and finished in
1880, is OF miles in length and cost $19e. AZ
per foot throughout. At present it is the
Titan Of all the worlds tunnels. "These
cannot last forever" however, and by
the end of 1896 st. Gothard will be de-
throned, the great Simplon tunnel, now
in course of construction, comingin with
the title Of Largest and longest tunnel
in the world" This new claimant for
Titanic honors is being built to supersede
the famous 3route Of the Simplon," a
road over the mountains which was con-
structed by the first Napoleon.
The Simplon tunnel will be almost one
fourth longer than the now celebrated
St. Gothard, its total length from open
ing to opening being, according to expert
calculations, 1911 miles. In short, it is
almost exactly three miles longer than
st. Gothard. The old "route Of the
Simplon," which will be practically
abandoned when the tunnel is COM
pleted, is about SO miles in length. At
present it takes 10 long hours to cross
the Simplon route. When the tunnel is
finished, less than half hour will be
consumed in making the trip.-St Louis

Old silver In Paris.

The Rue de Provence is the home Of
the secondhand dealer in artistic wares.
He is a greater power than the American
pawnbroker and has much cleaner rep
utation. To wander among these quaint
stores is as much in vogue with the
moneyed world as with the moneyless.
Silverware is there in large quantities
and includes every seryiceable object
from souvenir spoon to a o'clock tea
set. All this mass has the tarnish of age
and neglect to tell against it's beauty, but
a little polishing powder rejuvenates it,
and it passes out to be recognized among
its brand new fellows.
A remarkable set of souvenir spoons
came under my notice in one Of these
stores. The half dozen represented Ma
poleon and his generals. Only the heads
of the famous men we're visible On the
handles, but they were wrought with a
perfection that would have done credit
to photographer. The bowls of the
spoons were lined with gold, and the
price of the whole combination was only
equivalent to 81.
