THE DISCOVERY OF AReoN.
Goincidences Connected With the Experi
 ments Made by Scientists.


 Professor Ramsay explained in an in. teryiew last week how he discovered argon, the new element in the atmos- phere which is now exciting the won- der of the scientific world. He said: The impulse came directly from Lord Rayleigh. He was much impressed by the fact that atmospheric nitrogen was heavier than chemical nitrogen. This might be due to an admixture of lighter gas with chemical nitrogen or to the presence of gas of Q greater weight in atmospheric nitrogen. Lord Rayleigh was inclined to the former explanation, and some four years ago he consulted me about the manufacture of chemical ni- trogen.
 1 regarded the second explanation as the true one, and after ho had been ex- perimenting for some time I asked his permission to make experiments on my own account. He never hesitated to ae- cord his consent, and 1 set to work It WAS dreary waiting for results that never came, but there were times of high excitement as my suspicious be- came probabilities, and probabilities grew into triumphant certainty. At length, i'll July last was able to send Lord Rayieigh three ounces of the new gas.
 He replied at once. He also had some of the gas. Our investigations, conducted independently, had led to simultaneous success, as has been the case with so many discoveries and inven- tions. There was still another coinci- dence a little later As soon as we got the gas we wanted to find out its nature. Was it a chemical combination or me- chanical mixture? Was it monatomie or diatomic simple or compound? Profess or Olszewski of Craoow was expert menting with it i'll communication with me. By the application of heat he made the discovery that there was no loss of heat through intermoleeular motion. We made out that argon was monatom ic. wrote the news to Craeow. My letter had hardly gone when I received communication from my confrere. He had also suspected the monatomio nature of the new gas. but for another reason. Argon weighs 90 times as much as hy dregen and 16 times as much as oxy gen. He had expected the heavier gas to liquefy at higher temperature. To his surprise. it liquefed at lower tenn perature. There was only one oonolu sion, and that was argon was monatom- io. But it was curious that letters an nounoing the same information should cross. New York Suns London Cor. respondent

Tn his impressive address to the Yale law students last week Justice Brown of the United States Supreme court touched upon "the labor problem" and said that while he lad not much faith in arbitra ton he thought 1t possible that in the contest between Labor and Capital a compromise might finally be effected upon the basis of co-opera- tion or profit -sharing4 It is interesting
 to see that his idea receives power ful support from man who has per
 haps had more opportunity to study
 the labor problem in it's practical
 phases than Justice Brown. O. D. Ash
 ley, president of the Wabash railroad.
 presents in the last number of the
 Railway Age strong argument in
 favor of proft-sharing as affording the best and most rational solution
 of the labor problem. The co-opera-
 tive or profit sharing plan has now
 been adopted by over one hundred and
 fifty industrial concerns in the United
 States and MT. Ashley has thoroughly
 investigated the results attained. With
 these results he is exceedingly pleased
 and in his judgment the fairness of
 the system should commend it to both
 employer and employe. The principle has been applied by railroad companies
 through the system of life insurance and pensions which many of them have
 adopted and the results are very grati- flying. MT. Ashley thinks that the gen. eral application of that principleswouId
 do more to establish and maintain sat- isfactory relations between corpora
 tions and the men who work for them
 than any other plan that has been pre- sented. Personally he favors the crea-
 ton of an insurance and pension fund
 by using money taken from the sur plus earnings of the roads, but he ad- lmits that this could not be undertaken

 It is noticeable that many straw hats are scantily trimmed. but examination will disclose the fact that the straw is very prettily colored and elaborately woven. That, according to current usage, makes permissible but little trimming, which often consists of little more than one or two aigrette punches of violets, the long stems twisting into cords that pass about the brim, and perhaps, catch 1t up here and there This rule, however, Is by no means im- perative, but is tasteful in it's results, as can be judged by consideration of this pictured hat, which is of old gold straw bent into deep points at the sides and coming down with a graceful sweep in the front and back.

Runaway Boys Frozen to Death.

VIM. Pitt. Thomas Buck and Joseph
Erminer, each about fourteen years Of
age ran away from st. Vincent's In
dustrial School at Utica, n. Y, recent
ly. No trace of them could be secured
until last Friday, when the bodies of
Buck and Ermener were found in the
woods near Herkimer They had been
frozen to death. Pitt was found in a
barn near by so badly frozen that his
legs will have to amputated.
Pitt says he and his companions wan
dered about the woods. They did not
see house after Tuesday night, and
had nothing to eat. They walked I'M
til Buck and Erminer sank down from
exhaustion in the spot where their
dead bodies were found
Pitt told his two companions to count
their beads and say their prayers and it
is evident they were thus engaged
when death claimed them. Pitt took
off his coat and placed it over the two
unfortunates as they lay on the ground,
but they told him to put it on or he
would freeze to death himself. Pitt
says he remained with his companions
until their hearts ceased to beat and
he knew they were dead. Then he
started to seek shelter for himself.
Fortunately he came across the barn,
entered and remained until found.

A Tiger at Large.

A tiger is at large in the Orange
Mountains in New Jersey, gaunt, hum
CRY and fierce. Where the animal
came from and the whereabouts of his
lair are mysteries which the valiant
sportsmen Of the upland section of Es-
sex and Morris counties would like to
solve, or, to be more exact, have some
one solve for them. The monster Of
the Jungle was first seen on Thursday
last by James Sebring, a rabbit snarer,
in the vicinity of the spot where Phoebe
Paulin was murdered about 10 years
ago. Sebring was making his way
over rocks and through dense under
growth of bushes on the west side Of
the mountain, when an angry growl
arrested his attention. CHANGING to the
right he saw crouching on a rock shelly
ing with his 1.-THE body swaying for
spring, tiger which measured at least
six feet in length. With the prompt
ness of a sportsman Sebring raised his
gun, sent two charges Of small shot at
the beast, and fled wildly from the spot.
A roar followed the shots, which indi
Gated that the tiger had been hit, but
Sebring, who dropped his gun in his
flight, is not anxious to ascertain what
effect they had. Farmers and char
coal-burners living at the base of the
mountain go about heavily armed now
and are tryingto pluck sufficient cour-
age to enlist company of mountain
hunters for a veritable tiger chase.

THE Virginia commission that has in
charge the settlement of the West Vlr-
ginia debt met in Lynchburg Tuesday
to consider the recent action Of the
House of Delegate of West Virginia,
which, on January Is, adopted a reso-
luton declining to enter into any nego-
tiations with Virginia looking to any
settlement Of the debt question on the
basis set by the Virginia resolution.
The House of West Virginia took this
action under the belief that the Vir-
ginia resolution would commit West
Virginia to payment of one-third of
the original debt which had not been
assumed by Virginia. The commission
adopted an appropriate resolution,
which was forwarded to the Senate of
West Virginia, disclaiming any such
intention on the part of Virginia, and
pointing out the construction of the
Virginia resolution authorizing the
commission to adjust with the State Of
West Virginia a proportion Of the
public debt of the original State of
Virginia proper to be borne by West
Virginia whatever that amount might
be ascertained to be provided in the
Wheeling ordinance and in the consti
tuition of the State of West Virginia.
We think the less the State of West
Virginia has to do with the commits
sion referred to the better. Its APP
peintment was made under too sus-
picious circumstances.

The outlook For Horses.

The American Agriculturist re-
Gently published very exhaustive
review Of the condition and prospects
of the horse trade as obtained from
correspondence with more than 100
horsemen in all parts of the country.
The situation is anything but encour-
aging 10 breeders, so much so, indeed,
that in some States breeding has been
almost entirely suspended. The prin-
cipal cause of the depression is OF
course, the substitution of electricity
for horses by the street railways, the
drift being towards the universal
abandonment of horses as motive pow
er for street car service. Another
influence, though not so great, is the
rapid increase in the use of bicycles,
there being over 100000 Of these
manufactured last year exclusive OF
bicycles for children. 1t is estimated
that the output this year will be at
least 100000. In some places com
mon horses are almost entirely unsal-
able. This is true of the fruit sec
tons of California, the orchardists
getting all the cheap and broken
down horses they want for nothing.
There is, and always will be, a
demand for extra good draft horses
and fine drivers. 1t has been sur
prise to US for long time that Au-
gusta county, so noted for good stock,
does not raise fine class Of carriage
horses. We have good draft horses,
but it is unusual to see well matched,
stylish drivers. And yet these are
the sort Of animals that seem to pay
best for breeding and raising, and
always find ready sale. A farmer of
South River recently shot two old
horses, not wishing to feed them, and
unwilling to let them 60 into the
hands of those who would be likely
to abuse them. The example will
doubtless be followed by others

WHILE the Senate as at present
constituted shows no disposition to
submit to the popular will, or power
to remedy crying evils, the choice of
new Senators by Legislatures now in
session gives no promise of anything
better. No reform therefore can be
expected from the Senate itself; but
the means of reform are now in the
hands of the people. There is reason
to hope that the election of Senators
by direct vote of the people would af-
ford remedy; but this can be accom-
plished only by constitutional amend
ment. Article 5 of the Constitution
provides that ION the application Of
the Legislature of two-thirds of the
States, Congress shall call conven-
ton for proposing amendments to the
Constitution. The requisite number
of Legislatures are now in session, and
if they refuse to take this obvious
action, they will have no right to COM
plain of the Senate in future. The
Democrats in the West Virginia Leg
islature have already neglected one
great opportunity. They may redeem
themselves by demanding this great
reform. which has been endorsed by
Democratic House of Representatives,
and even by our senior Senator.

A Horrible Suicide.

Amanda Barkman, aged 46, COM
mitted suicide in Monroe township,
Bedford county, Pa, not far from the
Maryland line, few days ago. She
saturated her clothing with coal oil,
and going to an clubhouse, securely
fastened herself inside and set fire to
her clothing, by which she was burned
to death before she was discovered. A
sister, the only other person about the
house at the time, was sitting in
room sewing. Noticing smoke issuing
from the place she went out to inves-
tigate. Finding the door securely fas-
tened with chain, she procured an
axe from the wood pile, and with it
battered the door open, only to find
the body of her sister inside with every
particle of clothing burned from it.
She dragged the body out of the house
into the snow, and was Mortified to
find her sister quite dead and her body
burned to a crisp. The unfortunate
girl had been victim of religious hal
lucination for about year. She had
threatened to take her life several
times in precisely the manner that she
did.
