We do not wonder that Congressman
Livingston favors the free coinage Of sill
yer at the ratio of 16 TO ]. He doesn't
seem to know anything about the silver
question. II is alleged that at the Griffin

up a silver dollar, Il want this dollar to
be restored TO fun legal tender for any
amount" Wei, isn't it fun legal tender
for any amount? Mr.. livingston, like
most of the silverites. hasn't studied the

that he would become a sound money

Not Feeling Very Happy.
From the Macon (Ga) News Dem.).

Somehow we suspect that the Ribb
county silverites are rather disappointed
with that Griffin convention. They appear
to have got nothing but the cold Shout
der, and, so far as they are individually
concerned, we do not see that the Griffin
convention was anything like the howl
ing success that they might have ex-
pected.

Fires I'm shin Holds.

The recent fire in the hold of the trans
Atlantic passenger steamer Normandie
has induced Prof. r. ogden Doremus, the
famous chemist, to write to the New
York Herald letter stating plainly and
I'm few words how fires in the holds of
ships may be quickly extinguished. The
plan is not new, but It has never re-
ceived the attention that its importance
and simplicity deserves. That 1t has not
received such attention is matter of
wonder. considering the immense value
of property and the number of lives that
are each year imperiled by fire on ship
board.
Prof. Doremus says that wrought iron
cylinders filled with liquid carbonic acid
should be placed on the decks of vessels
and connected with iron tubes passing
by the sides of the stanchions into the va
rious compartments In the hold. SHOULD
combustion of cotton, Jute coal, etc, oc-
cur the fire would be instantly exiting
uished upon releasing the gas and drlv-
ing it by its enormous pressure into the
hold or compartment of the ship where
the fire existed
Liquid carbonic acid is now an article
of commerce. being prepared in large
quantities in this country, as well as be-
ing imported from Germany. The price
is quoted by the Herald as being as low
as 1919 cents per two and one-half pounds
ships with the cylinders and acid, it
seems, therefore, should not be very great.
AS to the efficacy of the acid In the ex-
tinguishing Of fires, Prof Cloves an En-
glish chemist says he found from actual
experiment that the flames of candles,
oil, paraffine and alcohol are extinguished
by air containing from IS to 16 per cent. Of
carbonic acid. The probabilities are that
a cotton fire would be extinguished by as,
low percentage of the gas. The flames
of coal gas. however, require the pres
ence of at least SO per cent of the acid
in the air. 1t seems that the cotton ship
pers and the marine owners and under
writer's should pay more attention to the
carbonic acid fire apparatus on shlpboard.
''Trolliosis" is new word that has
been coined in Philadelphia, 1t is de-
scriptive of the trolley party feveR which
seems TO be raging in that city with great
violence this season. A few nights ago a
trolley party of 5000 people, on sixty
one cars, rode around the city for the
benefit of a hospital. The cars were
chartered for the occasion, and the sur.
plus of receipts above the cost of the cars
was turned over to the charity. The cars
were decorated with electric globes of
many colors. and are said to have pre-
scented a beautiful spectacle. Presumably
the trolley party craze will strike this
city after while. There is no city in
the country better provided with trolley
roads and cars suited for such outings.
