Electrical Manufacture of Ozone.

A machine has been made for en-
ployment in hospitals and private
sickrooms or for the disinfection of
large public halls or buildings, which
renders the production of ozone a
simple and comparatively inexpen-
sive operation. The ozonizing of at
mospheric air by this machine is ac-
complished by employing a small
motor, driving a blower, which forces
the air through the apparatus, the
current for operating the motor be-
ing taken from any available electric
plant. The air is first passed through
drying tube to eliminate any posi-
BILE moisture, and is then conveyed
to the cluster of tubes forming the
ozone generator.
Each tube consists of two concen-
trio thin glass tubes, the inner one
being nearly filed with water, into
which one electrode dips. A silent
discharge of electricity, derived from
the current driving the motor and
passed through a specially wound
transformer, takes place through the
space intervening between the thin
walls of the glass tubes, and ozonizes
the air flowing through to the outlet
of the apparatus, where it is distrib-
uted or stored, as required.-New
York Telegram.

Tho Growth of Rocks.

Rocks do not grow in the sense
that plants do. They may increase
in size by means of accretion, and
they may also undergo other
changes. Old sea beds lifted UP and
exposed for ages become stratifed
beds of sandstone or limestone; vol
canic ashes and lava strewn over
hills and plains become tufa, hard
enough for building stone, and the
pebbly shores of rivers and smaller
streams may sometimes change into
conglomerates. The simple mineral,
however, does grow, especially when
it takes upon itself the form of a
crystal. sparkling prism of quartz
increases from an atom to monster
crystals of varying length and size
by what biologists know as a "pro-
cess of addition and assimilation.
This process is wonderfully slow,
but with mathematical exactness
that is a surprise to persons even
well up" in the science of geology.
In one sense stones grow; in another
they do not. The crystal may be-
come longer and larger, but the
bowlder on the roadside will not in
crease a hairbreadth in length or
width in the next 10000 years. st.

A Wealth of NoXelists.

in getting their works published.
The remainder are still in the ode
clined with thanks" stage of their
literary careers, and will in all prob
ability remain there.

EASY WHEN YOU KNOW HOW.

How to Squeeze Fifty Drops of Cham
payne from an Empty Bottle.
IN bet you fifty dollars that
can get fifty drops of champagne out
of an empty champagne bottle"
The man who made the remark
was a New Orleans man. one of a
group of loungers in an up town ho-
tel. Several looked up from their
papers, and one asked, whats
thatT'
Il say l can get fifty drops of
champagne out of bottle that YOU
have drained. I'll bet any one fifty
dollars that can do it."
Il don't believe it." remarked an
other bystander.
We'll, want to take me up? I'll
bet $500 to your S. that l can do
it, and he pulled out large roll of
greenbacks
Tell us how it's done, and if we
are convinced your offers a square
one several of us will put up twenty
dollars against your 800 and fur
nlsh the champagne to boot" said a
stout man, becoming interested in
the discussion.
II can't tell you how it's done"
answered the stranger. This is
one of the things more easily proved
than explained. Where's the wine?"
Some one ordered champagne.
The bottle was soon emptied and
passed around for inspection.
Now" remarked the New Or
leans man, 'turn that bottle upside
down for fifteen minutes till you are
satisfied that there is not drop in
it, and then I'll show you a simple
little trick" The bottle was duly
turned up and left for few minutes
to drain. The group surveyed the
man critically, as if expecting that
they were about to be treated to
legerdemain performance.
Nov, gentlemen" said the bland
visitor, 'you will see that what is ap-
parently impossible will turn out to
be very simple matter" Then tear
ing strip about nine inches long
from newspaper he inserted it in
the upturned bottle The paper soon
got damp, and gradually drop after
drop of wine oozed from the end
of it.
1.-THE same can be done with a,
thread. 1t is simply an illustration
of very simple law in physics"
The members of the group looked as
if they ought to have known this be,
fore, and yet as if they half believed
they were imposed upon when the
speaker continued:
Take my advice-never offer to
furnish the champagne yourself.
You can always get some fool to do
it, and never explain the trick until
you get the champagne" And the
expounder of the law of capillary at
traction scooped in the four VS. and

Aluminium Railway Tickets.

The latest use for aluminium is for
street car tickets, and it must be admit
ted that the metal is singulnrly adapted
for the purpose. A street railway has
Just made its first issue of these light
and ornamental tokens, which are about
the size of a silver quarter dollar. One
is round, for ordinary fare; the other
octagonal, for children. The adults
ticket is sold by the railroad company to
the public at the rate of Six for % cents
and the child's ticket at the rate Of 10
for % cents.
The company does not allow its en-
ployees, either conductors or motOrmen,
to sell the tickets to the public, but dis
poses of them in so lots to the several
storekeepers, who handle them exclu-
sively. This method of distributing the
tickets overcOmes to certain extent the
difficulties which have always attended
the sale of tickets by employees in con-
nection with the receipt of cash fares.
The aluminium ticket has also the great
advantage of requiring no cancellation.
As soon as the tickets are turned in by
the public to the railroad company they
are done up in packages and sold again.
1t is said that the tickets are much in ia

General Shelby explained that his army

What Thirst Is.

Thirst is simply a sensation by which
a lack of fluids in the system is made
known, and in state of health it is a
generally faithful indication of the wants
of the body.
Natural thirst is first indicated by a
peculiar dryness of the mouth and
fauces, caused by a failure of the
pharyngeal membrane to secrete due
amount of liquids, but if fluids were to
be introduced directly into the stomach
through tube, and not by way of the
fauces-as has been done in unusual
cases-the immediate absorption thereof
instantly allays the sense of thirst, from
which it has been supposed that the sem
sation of thirst is in the nerves of the
stomach, and the throat sensation is a
kind of reflex action.-London Tit-Bits
