1--WE have proved to our satisfaction"
says maker Of water coolers, that just
plain air is as good non-conductor of
heat as we can easily obtain. We made
three refrigerators exactly alike, save
that one was packed with sawdust, one
with charcoal and the other provided
with an air jacket. Then we put into
each a chunk of ice, the three being
equal in weight and as nearly as pos
sible similar in texture. The three
were left over night, and next morning
by far the largest chunk of ice was
found in the cooler with the air Jacket
The common notion that beech trees
are not struck by lightning so often as
other trees is supported by experiments
made by Jonesco Dimitrie, who passed
the spark of Holtz machine through
blocks of different kinds of wood. The
spark passed through oak after one or
two revolutions of the machine, while
five were required for black poplar and
willow and from twelve to twenty for
beech. 1t was found that the difference
was due to the richness in fat. Pine,
which is rich in fat in winter but poor
in summer, showed resistance corre-
spending to the time at which it was
selected for the test.

President Fitzpatrick of the superior
council Of the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul in New York, announces that the
council general Of the society in Paris
has prohibited the admission to men,
bsrship Of any one engaged in the liquor
business. This decision was arrived at
after thorough discussion. The French
societies have never debarred liquor
dealers, because they have never an
piled for membership, but the case in
this country Is very different. The
order has been transmitted to all the
conferences of the society throughout
lhis country, and President Fitzpatrick
says that it should be enforced now

George r. Graham, who died the
other day, was one of the men whom
the late George W. Childs regarded with
most envy when as boy he swept the
walk in front of his employers Office,

those figures as he leaned on his broom

going down the street. But Mr.. Gra-
ham "extended' himself too widely and
destroyed the circulation Of his maya
