met one most interesting p rson of
tnis latter class. She, with 4 charm
ing, brlght-eved young girl, her COM
panion, sat at ia ole with me one day
while was lunching on the roof OF
the California building. Her face was
worn aud thin. her hair white a snow,
and there were the deep lines across
the forehead and at the corners of the
mouth which the years will inevitably
leave as an index Of character. if those
years have not been blank of all feel
ing and sympathy and experience.
Her dim eyes looked off upon the
domeS ana turrets and the waving
flags of the stately buildings below US
and then turned toward the lake where
the graceful ships were flying to and
fire.. fcei4hted with human beings.

The prevalent order, quiet. and pro-

anywhere any indig atoms of the pres

courtesy forces theu into compliance
with the conceded rule OF good con-

unobtrus;vely like all the rest.
The good temper and this universal
courtesy meet one everywhere Ifyou

Publication OF Lead.

improvements have been made In
the publication of lead and the recov-
cry of silver from argentiferous lead,
which result in the production OF
chlorine--a gas which can be most adj
vantageously employed in chemical
manufactures. The operation is said
to be very simple; that is, the chlorioes
of calcium and magnesium are decom-
posed with lead nitrate, and the lead
chloride so formed is utilized for the
clectrolytic production of chlorine,
while the nitrates ofcalcium and mag
nesium, which are also the results of
the decomposition, are heated for the
recovery of nitric acid, which is used
for dissolving fresh quantities of crude
oxidized lead to form lead nitrate.
Silver and other metals, il is found,
may be ptecipitated from this solution
by the addition of spongy lead The
fused chloride is. according TO the
above proceeding, electrolyzed in .
glazed earthenware or enamelled iron
vessel kept At Il suitable temperature:
the cell is closed on the top, and is
provided with feed pipe for the lead
chloride, n chlorine outlet pipe, and a
siphon for drawing of the purified
molten lead. The carbon electrodes
alternately apodes and cathodes are
securely fastened 10 the lid Or. the
caribou plates may he all auodes, the
molten lead forming the cathode.
