HOW SOAP cLEANsEs.
Chemical Properties Which Operate In the
Removal Of Dirt.

Removal OF Dirt.
Most persons have very indistinct
ideas of the manner in which soap acts
in removing dirt. This is not so simple
a matter as it may seem, for even
chemists have been more or less puz-
xled by it; although there is now sub
stantial agreement among them as to
the chemistry of the process. One of
the explanations of the cleansing ac-
ton of soap is due to a suggestion
made by no less famous a man Of
science than Prof. W. Stanley Jevons
1t is generally considered that the eff
cacy of soap depends mainly upon its
decomp jsition, when it is mixed with
water, into an akali and fatty acid.
The alkali thus set free dissolves the
grease by which the dirt is attached to
the surface to be cleaned, and the
water then carries the dirt off. But
this is not all; the fatty acid from the
soap neutralizes any free alkai re-
naming after the loosening of the
dirt, aad thus prevents the alkali from
attacking tee cleansed surface itself.
This is very important when soap is
applied to the skin. and the painful
effects produced by some varieties of
soap are due to the fact that they
possess an excess of free alkali, more
than the fatty acids can neutralize.
But there are other factors concerned
in the action of soap. Its cohesive
power, upon which the formation of soap
bubbles and lather depends, enables it
to gather up the dirt as it is loosened
by the alkali. Then, too. the process
is assisted by the curious property
which soap possesses of producing a
great agitation among solid particles
suspended in water.
This, of course, tends to the ready
removal of the dirt after it has been
detached from the surface, and it is
this action that Prof. Jevons has
pointed out as being one of the ele-
nents of the cleansing power of soap

MEXICAN SECRET SERVICE.
1t Keeps an Eye on the Affairs of Public
and Private Men.


The secret service of the French re-
public is generally considered to be the
most perfect spy system in the world,
said a travelling man of st. Louis, but
in my humble opinion the department
of private intelligence supported by
Mexico surpasses it both in extent and
intricacv. A couple of years ago was
accidentally permitted to get an insight
into its workings, and Twas astounded.
One would imagine that a great pri-
vate detective agency would be ne
cessity only in a country like Russia,
where the life of the ruler is constant
" threatened, but down in Mexico
there is system of espionage that ex-
tends TO every part of it. The motives
of every public man in Mexico are not
only perfectly well known to the gov
eminent. but every visitor Is subject
to scrutiny It was President Diaz who
first esta blished the chain of secrecy
that now holds all the people in its
links. Every now ana then one Will
be surprised to see body of Mexican
troops hurried off to some remote place
in far-off state. None will know the
reason. but the fact will soon become
known that the government has pre-
vented an embryo revolution from
gaining strength and force a consid-
cradle number of Americans residing
in Mexico do SO because the law will
make it unpleasant for them in their
native places. The Mexican secret
service has the private record of each
of these, and if any of them show too
much activity in Mexican affairs there
is an arrest; the United States author
tiles are notified. and extradition of
the prisoner follows Yes, sir. the
Mexican secret service is the greatest
of them all. and its ramifcation ex-
tends everywhere over the republic,
and a good ways on this side of the
border -Washington Star.

New York, Jan. 21-The share specu-

morning in anticipation of the render

the fact was established there was a

from Chicago of a decline in that mar

together with the failure of Sugar to
respond to the decision in its favor,
caused a general depression. The
coalers were most seriously affected,
there being an additional incentive to
sell these stocks in the rumored trouble
in the coal combine. Speculation con-

WOMEN OF GERMANY.

The position of women in Germany
is one which may well awaken a feel
ing akin to despair in the heart Of the
social reformer In no country in
Europe, except perhaps Turkey, is the
general condition of women so degrad-
ed, and in no country, it may be safely
said. does she acquiesce so tamely in
her degradation. The Empress Fred

heroic efforts TO raise the status of
women in the upper classes of society
and endeayored TO insist that more def
erence should be paid them, and that
their intellectual and social quality
should be recognized How far she
would have succeeded had the brief
reign of 100 days been prolonged il IS
impossible to say. The immediate re-
suit was that the ''Englishwoman" got
herself cordially disliked, and strange
II enough. some OF her cruelest de-
tractors were among the sex whom she
had striven 70 emancipate- In the d.
rection of the higher education OF
women the efforts OF the Empress
Frederic have borne some fruit This
IS evidenced by the recent triumphs OF
women at the University Of Heidelberg
and BY the institutions which
have been founded for their
benefit in Saxony and Bavaria.
But the movement has only touched
a small section even there Even
