Nanhthnlcne.

According to recent chemical investiga
tions, naphthalene Is not formed in coal
gas while in the pipes, but In the retorts.
and only at a high temperature. Thus,
I'm the process of gasmaking the gas
which first comes off is rich in marsh gas
and poor in hydrogen, while toward the
end hydrogen predominates, and if benzol
is overheated there is slight separation
of carbon and hydrogen, and naphthalene
Is formed-a very staple substance, pro
duced whenever organic substances are
decomposed by very high temperature,
which accounts for its unavoidable pres.
ence in coal gas. If the temperature be
still further raised, there results still more
coalescence, anthracene and chrysene be
ing formed, and beyond these there is ab
solute charing, as In the formation OF
graphite on the walls of the retort. There
is really very little naphthalene In gas,
but the amount produced In the retort Is
far greater than that required TO saturate
the gas, which will only take up about 0.
grain per foot, at 10 degrees c., and
there is ten times this quantity of naphtha
lene produced-the gas being therefore
saturated with naphthalene, while with
benzol 1t is not so, and IL it be condensed
To Is degrees, then sent on, and afterward
cooled down beyond that temperature, it

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION!
Too High Pressure.

In these days of keen competition in every
line, when the business man is compelled to
bend his intellect and every energy to the
success of his business; the clerk, book
keeper, professional man and laborer, to
drive themselves at a terrific rate there can
be but one result-an explosion, which, if
not resulting in immediate death, leaves
them with shattered brains and bodies.
They are running at too high pressure.
The strain is too great Something must
and does give way. This is equally true Of
women. Though their sphere is more
limited, they have their daily burdens, frets,
and worries, and the results are the same ~
with their stronger companions.
This condition is growing worse every
day. The rapidity of its increase is awful
to contemplate. Our homes, hospitals, and
insane asylums are full of these unfortunates,
and are being crowded still further. There
is but one solution of the matter. Recog-
nize the Importance of the situation at once,
and take the necessary measures to over
come it. If you have failing memory, hot
flashes dizziness, nervous or sick headache,
biliousness, irritability, melancholy, sleep
lessness, fainting, nervous dyspepsia, cpl.
lepsy, etc, know that any one Of them is but
a symptom of the calamity that may befall
you. and even though you have used So

Explanatory
The world is so full of reformers in all de-
partments, of science, sociology, and morals,
that even the we'll informed are often de-
ceived and led astrsy. few years ago o
man by the name OF Hall began the publica-
ton called The Microcosm. believe, for the
purpose of utterly destroying the present ac-
cepted theory of sound. light, heat and cleo
tricity. 1t mattered not what the facts were,
he fitted his facts to his theory. He carried
half the clergymen OF the country with him,
and many others whose knowledge of these
subjects is somewhat superficial and does
not extend to the underlying mathematics of
the theories.
Somewhat later comes one G. l.. Chaplin
of Chicago, who brings out a series of
pamphlets to overiurn the present system of
astronomy and the law of gravtation. He
asserts that all planets move in spirals; that
the planets and the earth do not revolve on
axes nor in orbits around the Sun; their
motion is perfectly uniform and not swerved
the thickness of piece of tissue paper from
their courses by any attraction-there is no
attraction between the sun and the planets
all motions, light and heat are accounted for
by electro-dynamic action. These are as
sumed as demonstrated by a binding, be-
widering profusion OF borrowed and manu.
featured terms. Thus Copernicus, Calico,
Kepler, Newton, and all the host of modern
astronomers fall in one grand cataclysm to
destruction.
Now comes Prof. +. A. Slater, of ths
Fenton normal, with new system of me-
chanics, an exposition of which has been
running in the Michigan School Moderator
for five or six months past. In his system
he gives new definitions of force, energy,
power, ETC.; introduces a multitude of new
terms; denies that there are such notions as
momentum and Wis viva; and consigns all
past and present great mathematicians like
Newton, Helmholtz, ]. Clerk Maxwell. Sir
William Thomson, p. g. TAFT, with host of
Others to the realm of obsolete-of pseud-
ideas and error. The editor of the REPUBLI-
CAN LEADER replied to Mr.. Slater in the
Moderator of January 10. '94; but, as the
editor of the Moderator does mot believe in
discussions" he insisted on terminating the
discussion with this, bout" as he put it,
Mr.. Slater's defence in that paper of Feb
rusry l has remained unanswered.
As to the Moderator we have little to say,
as the editor is best Judge of what will inter-
est his readers. But 1t is surprising that the
editor will allow space for such quackery az
Mr.. Slater puts forth as science. 1t can only
be accounted for on the theory that M
Pattengill has too many othor duties to allos
him time to iudge carefully of the matter
which goes ih.p tine Moderator. We pro-
pose to show r. SIs,er in his true light, and
