his passports were worthless, and
that he could only go free by

the silent streets to the Cerro de las

and stopped at the place designated
for the execution, not hundred
yards from the spot where Maximil

prisoners alrghted and II few min

EngIand.s state Plate,

England's collection of plate for use at state occasions at Windsor castle is something fabulous in value. Its dis play surprised even RusSia's crown prince himself. It it generally reck- oned to be worth about @, ,0O0, ,0OO, and it is no unusual thing at state ban quet at the castle to have plate to the value of half million in the room. There are two state dinner services, one of gold and one of silver. The gold service was purchased by George w, and will dine 12o persons. The plates alone of this service cost over a12, 900. On state occasions there are usually placed on the dining table some very beautiful gold fiagons, cap tured from the Spanish Armada, which are now, of course, of priceless value, while the great silver wine cooler, made for George IV., and weighing 1000 ounces, always adorns one corner of the apartment As sideboard orna- ments there are pretty trifes in the way of a peacock of precious stones, valued at e5O,O00, and a tigers head from India with solid ingot of gold for its tongue and diamond teeth.

Beef Preserved and Kept Pure by Per

Beef Preserved and Kept Pure by a Per-
 meation of Ozone.
 A writer in Minneapolis newspaper relates with great circumstantiality how party of diners in a hotel were surprised and just little mortified to learn that the roast beef they had eat en was twenty-one days old, and had been lying exposed to the sun for that length of time. They were treasured when they were informed that the meat had been subjected to permeation of ozone, and by this means preserved as well as purified"
 The diners will probably learn be- fore they gain the information from this column, says the New York Mail and Express. that they encountered something entirely new in chemical ac- tion, and if any one of them has the courage to try it he can very readily prove the assertion. Ozone is one of the principles of oxygen. Prof. Loew says it is one of the greatest oxidyzers known, or, as he once expressed it, "a sublimation of that portion of our at- mosphere which supports life, and at the same time helps burn us up." Dr. Julius Edmund Doetsch, who died about ten years ago, claimed to have been the inventor of an ozone-produc- ing apparatus which would "age" any dead or living thing brought in contact with 1t. He took two gallons of raw spirits fresh from still and by run ming current of pure ozone through it caused the liquor to taste and smell precisely the same as the very same quality of liquor with an actual age of ten years. Dr. Doetsch believed that if living animals lived in an atmosphere of ozone they would become old men and women at the age of ten and twelve years. He proved that to treat animal meat with the pure gas would have tile same effect on them as though they had been exposed to the atmosphere we now breathe for as many days as there were half minutes in the artif. cial process. e~ |
 Loew and Doetsch are authorities on, chemistry. The western writer may be or he may not. At all events he ev- idently knows more about eating din- ner than he does about 'ozone." He or one of his friends can try the effect of it by shutting himself up in a small room and breathing the pure gas for twenty minutes. If the Doetsch theory is correct, a little wrinkled old man, bald headed and decrepit, will come out to announce in piping treble that he has aged forty years in twenty min utes.

TRADE UNIONS IN ENGLAND.
Over Million Members in 609 Bodies
 Their Incomes and Expenditures.

Over a Million Members in 599 Bodies
 Their Incomes and Expenditures.
 One of the leading features of a re- cent issue of the Labor Gazette of Lon don is brief summary of the statistics of trade unions for the year 1892, given pending the issue of fuller details in the report of the chief labor corre- spondent, now in the press. The re- ports of 599 separate unions have been dealt with, 432 of which are registered and IF not registered, while 10J have branches numbering in all 7,30s, mak- ing up an aggregate of 1,237, 367 mem berS. The total income of these socie- ties dealt with was about $S, 900, GOO and the expenditures about S75,O0O less; POS societies, with a membership of 7I5,64s, paid unemployed benefit to the amount of nearly $2,O00,00 30S societies, with 1 ,103, ,641 members, paid in dispute benefit g., 300, GOO; 193 unions, with 5S5, ,3S9 members, paid in sick al- lowances over S1 ,000, 900, and S8 unions paid as accident benefit to disabled members $S9,000. For the purpose of comparing 1892 with the previous year O%AAo oSA oAAOAo d1 v oNdA1lO1Cs l44d6 OC- ing the number supplying returns for both years. The increase of member ship on these 3s1 unions during 1892 was 52, 2,l61, or little over per cent upon the membership of 1891. The to- tai income of the 3s1 societies showed, however, an increase of 21.S per cent There was also very considerable rise in expenditure, amounting, in fact, to nearly A per cent. upon the outlay of 1891. The chief share of this increase was due to heavy demand upon the un- employed and dispute benefits, which in 1892 absorbed $1, ,s0O,OO more than in 1891.
 Particulars are also given with re- gard to cooperating farming in Eng land and Scotland in 1891 and 1892. Forty-seven societies have made re- turns, showing that total of 4,692 acres was being farmed in 1893, an in- crease of 12116 over 1892. The capital employed in 1893 was S450, 900, an in- crease of S29, 900 over 1892, and the net loss sustained amounted to g., ,I90, as compared with $3, 40 in 1892.
