Several years ago Johannes Holm, a
prominent farmer OF Tama county, Ia,
disappeared, aud il was thought that he
had been murdered. The county paid out
quite u sum Of money trying To find his
whereabouts, and there were large num-
Der of liohn's neighbors in the county who,
al each session of the grand jury, sought
to get several reputable farmers around
whom circumstances had thrown suspicion
indicted. They would have been indicted
but for the arrival OF Holm himself ON the
scene.
Two years ago u prominent lady at Bah
bicombe, England, was murdered and
robbed, and her servant, man named
Lee, was arrested, found guilty and sen
fenced to death, lie was three times sub
lceted TO the ordeal of hanging, and three
times the rope broke. The officers tele-
graphed To the home secretary. Lees sen
tenea was committed to penal servitude
for life. His innocence has since been es.
tablished and he has been released
Not great while ago Jim Scarlet was

DischarSine His En~iDeer

One day Potter Palmer went down into
the engine room ofhis hotel and in some
way got into dispute with the engineer,
his employe to go to the Office and get his
salary and get out. Now, this engineer
had been in Mr.. Palmer's employ fifteen
years and knew every pipe, wire and rope
in the big hotel The manager of the
house, who, by the way, is now st. Louis
landlord, was greatly put out when the
faithful employe told him the "old man.
had fired him. Jim" said the mana
ger, II don't want you to go. We would
be in trouble for months if a new man
took your place. I'll tell you what you do.
Go and shave off that mighty beard you
wear dress up in your Sunday clothes and
go and strike the old man for your old
job"
An hour later Mr. Palmer was ap-
preached bya smooth faced, neatly dressed
man, who courteously inquired if he need
ed the services of a first class engineer
THAT'S Just what do,' was Mr. Palmer's
reply. "The man I've had has been dis.
charged. he had been long time in the
place, but he got sassy AS your papers
are all right you can try the place" That
happened years ago, but Jim still holds
the fort. Mr.. Palmer has never regretted
that he fired" that sassy Jim" and hired
in his place the gentemanly smooth faced
man who keeps everything in such perfect
running order.-Cor. st. Louis Globe Dem

The fury of the chemical world is the
element fuorine. 1t exists peacefully in
company with calcium in fluor spar and
also in few other compounds.
Although this element was known and
named, it long resisted the efforts of chem
lists to isolate it-that is, prepare it in a
pure state unmixed chemically with other
substances For the instant the compound
containing it was torn apart the free fluor-
inc attacked and combined with whatever
substance composed the vessel contain.
ing it,
But it has now been isolated by NJ. Henri
Moisan. Fluorine is rabid gas that moth
ing can resist. 1t combines with all tne
metals, explosively with some; or, if they
are already combined with some other non
metallic element, it tears them from it and
takes them to itself.
In uniting with sodium, potassium, cal
cium, magnesium and aluminium the met
ais become heated even to redness, by thu
fervor of its embrace. Iron filings, slight
ly warmed, burst into brilliant scintilla
tions when exposed to it. Manganese does
the same. Even the noble metals, which
at a melting heat proudly resist the fas
cination of oxygen, succumb to this chemi
cal siren at moderate temperature.
Glass is devoured at once, and waite
ceases to be water by contact with this gas
which, combining with its hydrogen, a
