Aluminium for the Preparation Of
Phosphorus.

The applications Of aIuminan in the
arts multiply with much the npidily as
do those Of electricity. The Bsriehte
describes new method Of preparing
phosphorus by its use as a reducing
agent. The process is so simple hat it
can easily be illustrated on the lecture
table. Hydrogen ammonium sodium
phosphate is fused ia porcelain cra-'
Die until it is changed into sodium met
aphosphate; aluminium turniugs are then
dropped into the liquid, and Tie freed
phosphorus bursts into flame Now if
the experiment is tried with glass tube
instead Of crucible, SLOW crrcn Of
dry hydrogen being passed over the mix
tare OF salt aud aluminium, .be phospho-
rus distills into the cooler part Of the
tube without the formation Of any phos-
phuretel hydrogen, The residue con-
sists of alumina, sodium alumiaale and a
phosphido of alumina.
BY these oteps in the process only 30
per cent Of the phosphorus ii the miner
al used eau be obtained; bpt the 2hos-
phide is deeompnsed entirely bb b. heating
with silica. and this may be added at the
beginning of the experiment aui the re-
action proceeds without difficulty and
without loss.
1t is advised that for the lecture table
combustion tube yard long be used;
two and half parts Of aluminium, six
parts of sodium metaphosphatC obtained
from heating previously the hydrogen
ammonium sodium phosphste) and two
parts of finely pulverized silica are placed
in the tube, slow current Of hydrogen
is passed through, and heat is applied
until The reaction begins This is shown
by sudden incandesccnce, and pbospho-
rus is seen to condense IN gIobuIes on
the cooler part of the tube, at the end
where the hydrogen escapes
Instead of this phospha ate, any ordna-
ry phosphate may be used, but expert
mentors are warned not to use the SUI
perphosphates containing calcium sui
phate mixed with them, such as are used
for fertilizing purposes, because the sui
phate is suddenly decompOsed by the
aluminium with an explosion when a GER
tain temperature is reached.

North Carolina has State tree by the
vote e the school children. The noble
white oak has been chosen, and it is op-
perfume to say that North Carolina has a
greater variety Of oaks than aly other
State in the Union. 1t is a noble and
useful tree Among the sentiments ex-
pressed by the school children in behalf
Of their choice are these: That the oaks
dense faliage and spreading branch
cs afford shade and shelter; it is, there

The notorious suit at law brought by
Madelaide Pollard against Col. w. C.
P. Breckenridge, for breach OF promise,
terminated on Saturday, the plaintiff re-
covering verdict of SIS, 900. No one
with the slightest degree of decency re-
grets that the unfortunate trial has come
to az end. For four long weeks the whole
atmosphere from one end of this
broad land to the other was filed with
the stencil arising from the disgusting
details of the intimacy between the
plaintiff and defendant and relief is
felt that society will no longer be nause-
ated with the history of the immortality
of the two Kentuckians. The verdict
was perfectly just and ought to prove a
useful lesson to all de,eitful persons. =
Contracts should always be held as sa-
cred, especially promise of marriage. -
Breckenridge promised to ~aIry the
girl and having trifed with her to her
rain and lasting disgrace he should have
been made pay the penalty Of his folly.

Protection Of the South.

The sugar production of Louisiana has
grown enormously. From mere pit
lance Immediately after the civil war it
has come to supply the So, 900, 900 OF
the American people with one-tenth Of
the sugar they consume With the
present conditions to start from there is
good reason to believe that with dozen
years of the bounty and freedom from
financial pam in this country the Amer
lean sugar pro luz lua will come near fill
ing up the whole demand If there
were any reasonable security against de-
structive Legislation there would be an
enormous development in beet sugar,
because the grain farmers of the West
are suffering from debt and low prices.
and would hail with joy any avenue of
deliveranee. The cotton plants in the
South are suffering from the low prices
and oyer-production of their staple, and
they would be benefited by the diverting
of Southern lands. where conditions are
favorable, fro cotton to cane. To de-
stroy domestic sugar production is to
drive the best growers back to wheat and
corn and the cane planters to cotton
The policy of true craftsmanship is to
preserve and build up, not to destroy
and drag down-New Orleans Daily

When the suggestion was at first made
it was thought by some that a demon
stration Of this kind might have some
weight in forcing needed legislation by
Congress much 10 the same manner as
petitions do from the people to their
representatives., and the plan of action
had in it a decree of novelty that at
traeted as well as pleased a good
many persons who Ameri ,au like are
always anxious for something new But
The utter impossibility of ;he foolish
plan som developed itself to everybody
of good sense, and the novelty quickly
lost its charm, and since every one has
been regarding Coxey as the prince Of
eranks and bis band of followers

mixture of purposes. OF course Con-
gress will pay no attention to the gang

Washington city if they are awake to
their interests will carefully guard their
property during tue stay of their
unwelcomed visitors Coxey, himself,
is seeking notorietv; with an unbalanced
mind he imagines that the crusade be
contemplates upon Congress will adver-
tise Kim sufficiently for popular favor,
to the end that he may reach some COW
eted ambition. His purposes are
eccentric. and he himself harmless, aud
no evil consequence may be anticipated
from any of bis individual acts, but the
same cannot be said of his followers =
TEey are, majority OF Them loafers
aud idlers, thieves and drunkards, that
class of persons not wanted in any com

practiced over them is removed and they
are turned loose they will scattered over
the country in every direction as SO
many half starved cattle.
As our territory lies in such close prox-
unity to the scene of their destination,
that so soon as COxey has gotten
all the notorioty for himself possible
out of his escapade his soldiers will be
"honorably discharged" it is more than
likely this section will be infested by a
visitor or two. If they do, the sheriff

They Want Better Roads


Practically all of the railroads along
road material producing se,tions Of the
country will co-operete with the Agri-
cultural Department in the movement
for better roads. II is said that letters
have been received from a large number
of the officials to which circulars we're
sent by General Stone, in charge of the
road inquiry bureau, asking the com
panies would combine for uniform cost
basis rate for road NJ = Y. Almost
all assert their willin YIN with
connecting roae--8 Good
roads movement w
Some of the officials E replied that
while willing t. carry the material at
the bare cost of hauling. their roads are
prohibited from making such rates to
either persons or States aud suggesting
that the department will have to take
the matter to the State Legislature or to
the Interstate Commerce Commission be
fore the roads would be at liberty to act.
The department officials, however, be-
lieve tina; there will be no difficulty in
securing the necessary legislation Vice
President Shelby, Of the Grand Rapids
and Indiana Railroad, says in his reply:
There can be no denial of the fact
that good roads are desirable both for the
localities in which they run and for the
railroads in the vicinity. Where con-
certed and well-dcfned plan of action can
be agreed on. in my Judgment, all the
railroads will cooperate 10 proportion to
the conditions surrounding them.
