A Microbe That Is Hard to Kill.

Professor Renk, who is engaged in
making some interesting experiments
on the vitality of the common bacili,
the so-called "microbe Of cholera" has
just finished a treatise containing his
observations on the ability of such
organism to withstand intense cold. He
has found that they will live for some
time, and exhibit all their usual liveli-
ness In a temperature ten degrees
colder than freezing. A single 'cul-
ture' Of these germs in a bowl of beef
broth, reduced to a temperature of
from five to seven degrees below the
zero Of the centigrade thermometer
(Which Is about the same as twenty to
twenty-three above the zero mark Of
the Fahrenheit instrumenO wereunusu-
ally alive at the end of 100 hours ex-
posure. He found. however, that as
they were uninterruptedly exposed to
such a degree Of cold for a longer
period than that mentioned above they
gradually lost vitality, and at the end
Of five days were perfectly lifeless and
utterly unable to do damage should
they be taken into the human system.

A BRIGHT STAR.
A SKETCH OF THE MAN WHO

TO FAME.
Also Played Leading Roles with Booth.
Barrett and Thorne.
From the ST. Louis Chronicle

From the ST. Louis Chronicle
one Of the most conspicuous figures in the
Stageland Of America to-day Is John W.
Norton. Born in the Seventh ward of New
York city forty-six years ago, the friends
of his youth were Thomas w. keene and
Frank Chanfrau. We find Keeue a star at
the age of IS and Norton in the flower of
early manhood, the leading man for Edwin
Booth AT the famous Winter Garden Thea
ter. He was starred with Lawrence Bar
rett early in the 70s, and alternated the
leading roles with Charles Ihorne at the
Variety theater in New Orleans. Early in
the Centennial year, in Louisville, Norton
met our Mary Anderson, then a fair young
girl who aspired for stage fame, took her
under his guidance and, as everybody
knows, led her to fame. MIR. Norton is now
the proprietor of the Grand Opera House in
st. Louis, the Du Quesne Thcater, Pitts
burg, and one of the stockholders in the
American Extravaganza Company.
One afternoon early in June he hobbled
into his New York Office on Broadway and
encountered his business manager, George
McManus, who had Also been a rheumatic
sufferer for two years. Norton was sur
prlSed that MCManuS had discarded his
cane. Who cured you" he asked. "Icured
myself" replied McManus, with DR.. Will

One Oyster Enough for at.MeaI.

Pliny mentions that according to the
historians of Alexanders expedition
oysters a foot in diameter weae found
in the Indian seas, and Sir james IL.
Tennent was Unexpectedly ableSto cor.
roborate the correctness of his state
ment, for at Kottiar, near Tr~incoflalee,
enormous specimens of edible oy1tcrs
were brought to the resthouse. Zone
measured more than eleven inoheq in
length by half as many In width. Gut
this extraordinary measurement . is
beaten by the oysters of Port LincTln
in South Australia, which are the lafg-
est edible oysters in the world. They
are as large rs a dinner plate and ef
much the same shape. They are some
times more than n foot across the shellt
and the oyster fits his habitatiOn so
well that he does not leave much
margin. 1t Is n new sensation when
a friend asks you to lunch at Adelaide
to have one oyster fried In butter or
eggs and breadcrumbs set before you,
but it is n very pleasant experience.

this time, the state contends, he
reached the boulevard, Conversed with
Blixt as the latter has stated, and
reached Chestnut avenue without hav-
ing %prespired In the least.
This leaves a very narrow margin,
and the defense claims ability to ac-
count wen more closely. Great reli-
nee is placed on this place Of the
defense. 1t is the strongest point that
can be made in Hairs favor. The
state holds that eleven minutes Is all
the time necessary to have accom-
plished all Hayward is said to have
done that night.
The Fatal Shot.
Mrs. o. e. Maggie, a sister OF Will
lam Erhart, and who lives out west OF
Lake Calhoun, was called. She re
membered the evening Of Dec. ;. Her
husband got home that night at 100.
He ate supper alone, the family having
finished the meal. Later both Mr. and
Mrs. Maggie went into the front room,
which faces Excelsior avenue AS the
witness sat reading she heard a shot
fired. 1t was between $50 and $40
o'clock.
Harry Hayward said this morning
that the absence OF any distinct line
of defense in the opening speech of
John Day Smith yesterday was by no
means an indication of weakness, as
the public seemed TO think.
"Do you mean by that to indicate
that there is sensational evidence to
Gomez
"That is just what | mean" replied
the accused. There will be some
facts brought out that may astonish
people"
The crowds in attendance have di-
minished somewhat in size, but are
made up of the usual proportion Of
women, who exhibit the most morbid
curiosity, and even sympathy for the
handsome defendant. Some Of the
pettfcoated contingent will go to any
length to get a word with him, or an
autograph or a handkerchief for a
souvenir.

The Star That Blnxes Out Like q
Celestial search Light.


The Philadelphia Record says the
southern evening skies during the next
few months will be the scene of an
interesting stellar exhibition. With an
opera glass the observer may discover
In HnG with the star Menkar a o
star, nearly at the center Of a small
triangle OF faint stars. Having found
1t with the glass, he will probably be
able to see it with the naked eye. A
week hence it will almost certainly be
visible to the naked eye. Ia another
week it will be quite conspicuous, and
If it is true to it's record it will con-
tinue to brighten until at the end of six
or eight weeks it will be nearly, If not
quite, as bright as Menkar.
This Is the famous star Mira the
Wonderful, one of the most remarkable
Of the variable starS-remarkable both
for the great range Of its variability
and for the ir~regularity Of it's habits.
When at its minimum Mira is away be-
low the limit of naked-eye vision, be-
ing then a star of between the ninth
and tenth m~agnitudes. At it's maxi
mum il sometimes SurpaSses in splen-
dor a star Of the second magnitude,
althOugh-this is one of it's eccentrici-
ties-OccaSionally it att Tins to only the
fourth magnitude befOrN its light be-
gins to wane. 1t runs the cycle Of its
changes In n average period of eleven
months, during about seven of which
it is invisible to the naked eye. Hav-
ing attained its greatest b~rilliancy, it
usually remains without noticeable
change for a week or ten days, and
then about three months is again be.
yOnd the reach ot the naked eye. It's
last maximum occurred in March last,
and another is due, therefore, in the
coming February.
Mira loses its redneSs as it brightens,
and the s~peCtrOscOpc gives the very in
teresting information that its increase
of brilliancy is largely due to an out
break OF luminous gases, the cause OF
which is among the still ~unsOived rid
dies of science. It's spectrum, when it
Is at it's brightest, is crossed by a large
number Of intensely bright lines
hieroglyphs in which the ~spectrOscOp-
list sees the certain evidence of glowing
gases-some of which are due to hydro
@
The star Is this year in n position to
be observed at a convenient hOur dur
ing the most interesting portion of its
period of visibility, and the amateur
star-gaZer should not lose this unusu-
ally favorable opportunity of forming
its acquaintance and witnessing its
singular behavior.

How to Make the Hens Pay.

Now or never is the time to gather
the profit on eggs. If the pullcts have
been properly housed and fed they
should be laying eggs now at a lively
rate, and squaring up the account
against them for feed and care since
last spring. Dc not forget the water;
while not so much will be needed as
was needed in summer, it is a neces-
sity, and should be pure and clean.
If there is danger Of it's freezing be
fore the fowls will have n chance to
drink, warm it slightly. See that the
feed Is given regularly and in variety.
Warm breakfasts nov will pay. Keep
the shell box, grit box, charcoal box
and dust box we'll filled with fresh and
clean material. Clean out the drop
pings at least once a week, and put
fresh, clean leaves n straw over the
floor, in which to throw dry grain.

Modern Discovery for the Utilization
of N Heretofore Useless OHal.

Modern Discovery for the utilization
of N Heretofore Useless OGal.
One Of the methods whereby profit
has been made from sawdust Is the
manufacture from it Of oxaIic acid,
which is a simple process producing a
material in wide commercial demand in
the arts of dyeing and other chemical
arts. AS intimated, the process is not
only simple, but the outfit for conduct
ing it Ices not involve Il large invest
mcnt. The principles involved are not
complicated, and the process can be
carried out by cheap labor under the
superintendent Of a fairly intelligent
director.
OXalic acid is frequently met with in
the vegetable kingdom, especially In
combination with gases which destroy
it's poisonous character. OXalate of
lime is found in considerable quantity
in the rhubarb plant; OXalate of potash
is found in the sOrrel, and OXa-
late of soda in salicornia, and sal soda.
Formerly the acid was obtained from
the sOrrel, Oxalis acetoSella, but more
recently from sugar, by the action of
the nitric acid upon it. The nitric acid
and sugar are boiled for some time,
then evaporated to dryness, and the
OXalic acid formed is purified by recrys-
Utilization from water. A much
cheaper material than sugar is saw
dust. In this cas- an alkali must be
employed instead of an acid, as well
as at a higher temperature. The opera
ton is conducted in an iron vessel Of
suitable size and shape; and either
cauStic soda or potash is employed, the
yield being greater with the latter.
Some recent experiments made go
to prove hat a mixture of forty
parts of caustic potash to sixty parts
of caustic soda will produce as large
a yield as when potash alone Is used,
provided the operation be performed
in shallow vessels with thin layers of
the material, avoiding as far as posi-
bic the fusing of the mass. Soft woods,
such as pine and fir, produce larger
quantities Of oxalic acid than hard
wood like oak. The proportion OF the
wood to alkali should not exceed rs to
100, and the temperature should be
about $50 degrees Fahrenheit
