the ..urdcrc- 10 Escape.
\ Spanish cavalier, i'll sudden quar-
rel. slew Moorish gentleman and
fled. His pursucrs soon lost sight of him.
for he had unperccived thrown himself
over q garden wall. The owner, a Moor.
happening to be IL his garden, was ad-
dressed by the Spaniard. On his knees,
who acquainted him with his case and
implored conccalrlcnt. Eat this said
the Moor, You know that you may con-
fide in my protection" He then locked
him up in his garden apartment, telling
him that as soon us it was night he
would provide for his escape to place
of safety.
The Moor thea went to his house,
where he had just seated himself, when
4 great crowd, with loud lamentations,
came to his gate, bringing The corpse of
his son. who had just been killed by the
Spaniard. When the first shock Of sur
prise was little over, he learned, from
the description given. that the fatal deed
was done by the very person then in his
power. He mentioned this 70 one, but
as soon ~ it was dark. retired to his
garden, as if to Grieve alone, giving Or
ders that none should follow him. Then,
accOstinS the SpGn!ard, he said: Chris
tian, the person yOu have killed is my
SOY A; his body is now in my house. You
ought to suffer, but you have eaten with
me, and | have given you my faith,
which must not be broken He then
led the astonished Spaniard to his sta
bles. and mounted him on one of his
fieetcst horses, and said:
Fly far while the night can cover
you; you will be safe in the morning
You are indeed guilty Of my sons blood.
but God is just and good, and thank
him I am innocent of yours, and that

POE KNEW ARGON.
The Poet Wrote Of the Third Constituent
Of the Atmosphere.

Of the Atmosphere.
Will Lord Rayleigh and Professor
Ramsay have to share the honor Of
"spotting" the third constituent of the
atmosphere with Edgar Allan Poe? It
certainly looks like it, if we consider
the evidence adduced by a correspondent
of a French journal, who has been dip
ping into the "Tales of Mystery and
Imagination. The passage upon which
this gentleman rests Poe's claims is
contained in The Unparalleled Adven-
ture of One Hans Pfaall" 1t is worth
while quoting it in full:
II then took opportunities of convey
ing by night to a retired situation east
Of Rotterdam five iron bound casks, to
contain about so gallons each, and one
of larger size; six tin tubes inches
in diameter, properly shaped and 10
feet in length; quantity Of a particu-
lar metallic substance, or semimetal,
which l shall not name, and dozen
demijohns of a very common acid. The
gas to he formed from these latter ma
terials is a gas never yet generated by
any other person than myself-or at
least applied to any similar purpose. l
can only venture to say here that it is q
constituent of azote (nitrOgen), so long
considered irreducible, and that its
density is about 31.4 times less than of
hydrogen. 1t is tasteless, but not odor-
less; burns, when pure, with a greenish
flame and is instantaneously fatal to
animal life. It's full secret 1 would
make no difficulty III disclosing, but
that it of right belongs TO citizen of
Nantes, i'll France, by whom it was con-
ditionally communicated to myself"
1t must be confessed that the mysteri-
GUS gas evolved by the force Of Poe's
Imagination hes rot little in common
with the ;~Co2, whose acquaintance we
are now privileged to make some 90
years later. The particular metallic
substance or seInimctal, used by Hans
Pfaall, has its fellow in clevi.e, from
which we have been led to understand
argon has Ecen extracted when treated
with az acid, after tie manner of the
veracioas Dutch halloonist. If the new
gas is not precisely regarded as "a con-
stitucnt Ct ritrogen, it has at least
been declared by some to be an allCtrop-
ic modification Of it. No doubt the phys
ical and chemical qualities Of Edgar
Allan Poc's gas are not exactly those Of
argon. But what Of that: Instead, for
example, Of being 81 times lighter than
hydrogen, argon, we understand, is very
much heavier. 1t must be remembered,
however, that Hans Ffaall had to make
q journey to the moon. Had his gas been
heavier, how could he have dropped II
couple Of ballast bags on the head Of
Mynheer Superbus Van Urderduk. and
have disappeared above the clouds al
most before the worthy burgomaster had
recovered himself? The ronancer, even
when he is Il man of science, must sure
~ lie allowed Z little latitude with his
chemistry. -Westminster Gazette.
