Liquid Oxygen by the Pint.
Boston Journal

Professor Dewar of the Royal Institution
at London has been conducting some highly
interesting experiments recently in the
ltguefaciion Of gas. Up to fifteen years ago
oxygen and nitrogen were regarded as "per-
manent gases" these two having defied all
the efforts of Faraday to change their con-
dltions. In 1877 Caillstet and Pictes wers
able to reduce small quantities of both
gases to rapidly evauescent blush mists,
but so evanescent were they as to be USE
less for investigation. BY pressure, freez-
ing and surrounding vacuum, Professor
Dewar, however. has been able to liqueIy
not only oxygen. tut air by the pint, and 10
retain them for hours in that form. Already
the professor has been able to establish the
most important properties of oxygen-its
pure azure color, its high magnetic power
and its characteristic speetrum-and even
more striking triumphs are promised him
in the future.

A watch which the Kaiser is giving as a

Margaret of Prussia, on her marriage with
Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse has a
curious history. 1t originally belonged TO

quered city In the hands of Napoleon's
troops. Being taken TO Strasuourg. 1t was,
a wear or TWO later. won as prize in bar

ter, who subsequently obtained n domestic
position In the Palace of Potsdam, where
Queen Louise, noticing the watch in the
woman's possession. recognized it as her
own, and obtained repossessi0n of it in ex-
change Tor generous sum of money. The
late Empress Augusta intrusted the watch
TO the present Emperor. with an expression
OF her wish that it might always remain the

Fashions i'm Glass.

Very few years ago nothing would please
but glass blown 10 tile utmost thlnneSs,
either plain or engraved with ornamental
designs. But now we have returned to the
heavy face,ed decanters and goblets which
we were brought up to despise. Which IS
the stricter tarte? Undoubtedly that which
we rave just discarded. for the special
quality OF glass, which can be rivaled in no
other material. Is its transparency and capa-
city for being blown into exceeding light

quality is impaired; the latter is not dis

upon its briiliancy. in which it completes at

Tie Emmets won the toss for the goal,
and they received decided advantage over
their opponents by picking against the
suns rays. Captain Palmer started the ball
rolling. and by some clever play between
Hughes and Casey the ball was kicked over
the Sheridans' goal, thereby gaining the
first point for the Emmets. The ball was
then given to O'Niel. the gOalkeeper OF the
Shetidans, who, by strong kick, sent il up
IN the Emmetts' territory, but it did not
stay there long, as Hughes, by very clever
running and lodging. again kicked the ball
over the Sheridans' goal. This sort Of play
ing was continued until the end of the half
hour, when the Emmets had TO their credit
five points against a score of goose eggs for
the Sheridans.
The Emmets continued their good play
ing in the second half, but it took them all
OF fifteen minutes to gain another point.
Through some very fine kicks and runs by
Mosley. Perry and O'Neil, Of the Sheri-
dams, 1t looked as though the Sherdans
still had some chance lett. for by one good
kick from Captain Perry the ball was sent
sailing toward tie Emmets' goal, and had
it not been for very clever stop by Goal
keeper McInerny the Sheridans would have
had goal to their credit, which constitutes
five points.

Many a visitor to Oakland must have
noticed an old man shutting along the

chin, an old hat inclining toward the back
of his head. and loose. baggy trousers.
He is emewhat bent with age, but his
eye is as keen as a hawks and h is clean
shaver except for some sparse white
whiskers which circle under his chin. The
nose is angular and the mouth, naturally
cold and cunning. looks more so, being
drawn together through the loss of his teeth.
This is Alexander Barrette, the Oakland
frog-catcher. 70 years of age, vet in many
respects as active as a boy of 20. When-he

The case was called In Judge Conlan's
court yesterday morning. Lippe took the
witness-stand and his face was sufficient
evidence OF the fact that he had been
severely punished by some one.
When asked to give his version of the
assault he astonished the court by stating
that he did not know how he got his in
juries.
"Al / can remember" he said, "ls that
was hurt In FeDton's saloon, but / was so

He admitted that he had visited Fentonrs

morrow his memory will be considerably
