Constituent Parts of a Cord of Wood.

A cord of fairly seasoned wood weighs
about 1000 pounds If subjected to
heat of between 700 and 500 degrees it
resolves into three distinct products
charcoal. pyroligneons acid and gases.
In order to. properly bring this change
about it is Necessary to place the wood
in a kiln and apply the heat gradually
for four or five days. At the end OF that
time the residue will be 1000 pounds of
charcoal, 1900 pounds of pyroligneous
acid and 1000 pounds of uncondensed
gases. The aggregate weight OF these
products is exactly equal to the original
weight of the wood. st. Louis Repuh-

He Was Not Pardoned.

Several kilograms from Norfolk state
that the citizens of that city are indig-
nant at the pardon of Harry Rogers,
desperate who was sentenced for eigh-
teen years in the penitentisry for an
assault on Mr.. M. w. Mason. The
rumor that he was pardoned is entirely
false. The relatives of Rogers appealed
to the governor for executive clemency,
which was refused, and he is now in the
penitentiary, his term not expiring
until October, 1909. --Richmond Star.

DIR. McClintock OF the University OF
Michigan has performed experiments
which indicate that eggs may become
infected with microbes before they are
laid. A healthy hen, after repeated
washings in sterilized solutions, was
placed in a sterilized cage. As soon as
possible after being laid a portion of her
eggs were placed in sterilized cotton and
then in an incubator. ALI these eggs de-
cayed and swarmed with bacteria The
remaining eggs were taken as soon as
laid, and cultures were made from their
contents. Some of these culture tubes
developed; others remained sterile. Aft
en- some days the hen was killed, and
with proper aseptic precautions culture
tubes were inoculated from various por-
tions Of the oviduct. Most of these tubes
developed. Itwould thus seem probable
that tho putrefactive bacteria entered
the egg III its passage down the oviduct
and before the shell was formed.

tangible evidence that the rumors were
probably authentic. The president

of extreme cordiality. They remained
together for some minutes i'm close
