Practical Chemistry.

Once, when lecturing to his class, o
certain learned professor thus delivered
himself:
II would have you observe, gentle.
men. that coal, when exposed to the &C.
tion of the air, loses 10 per cent of its
weight and heating properties. This
arises through the influence Of the al.
kaline constituents of the"-
But, sir. how is it when a dog lies
near the ccals:" interrupted one of his
hearers.
"Young gentleman. this is neither
the time nor the place to crack these
small jokes of yours. severely retorted
the professor.
II beg your pardon, sir. but that is
exactly what my father thought and
said when he found it necessary to leave
the stock of coal for few nights in the
open air, and it was discovered that it
had diminished to the alarming extent
of over 90 per cent. He then consulted
me. as a student of chemistry, as to
what could be done to stay such loss,
and l suggested that savage dog should
be procured and kept chained near the
Goals. He took my advice. and since
then our Goals have not lost so much as
2 per cent in an entire month. Lon

Orchids For Cut Flowers.

So many beautiful flowers drop their
petals soon after cutting that they are
out of favor with purchasers The ef-
forts of florists are generally in the di-
rection Of introducing such flowers rs
will hold their own for some time after
cutting. 1t is possibly one Of the lead
ing advantages of the carnation that it
lasts SO long on the parlor table, and
this is found to be true with many spe-
cies Of orchids which are coming into
favor for cutting purposes, quite as
much ON account Of this persistence as
on account of their rarity and sweetness.
In this closely related family the cypri-
pedium is found particularly valuable.
There are not only persistence. sweetness
and curious features in the forms and
colors Of the flowers. but they also have
the long stems which enable the Ameri-
can florists to use them without the
necessity Of lavishly stemming them

BANK BOOKKEEPING.

A Perfect systeE, Never Has and May
Never BE Developed.
Tho cashier Of q prominent up town
bank says that such q thing as o perfect
system of bookkeeping has never been
devised and probably never will be.
"When you think Of it, he said, book
keeping is simply a question of mental
ingenuity. What one brain can devise
in the way of safeguards another brain
can usually undo, speaking in a general
way. The daily papers in condcmning
the banks because of the moderate sal
aries paid to bookkeepers overlook
very important fact The banks pay the
market rates to expert bookkeepers,
which arc anywhere from 81, 500 to ST.
600 year. An almost unlimited num-
Der of men can be obtained at these
figures, and paying more money would
not make the banks bit safer, for the
simple reason that men of strong mental
powers, great business capacity and un-
swerving integrity arc not, as rule,
content to be mechanical bookkeepers
in large institutions. do not, of course,
mean to disparage bookkeepers in any
way.
1.-The point is that the men who make
gbod bookkeepers are unimaginative. re-
liable and steady going persons, who
are rot influenced by great ambition,
and who do not aspire to lofty places. 1t
is not required of bookkeeper that he
shall have very high mental Qualifica-
tions as bookkeeping is now conducted
in our big institutions. Each man has a
stipulated amount Of work of q stereo-
typed nature to do. He has of course
enough ingenuity to swindle, if he
chooses to do so. Anybody who believes
that perfect system of bookkeeping
can be devised must also believe that it
would be impossible to counterfeit
money. The Bank of England has been
held up as marvel for many years, and
yet it is no secret that that institution
was swindled in the most complete
manner for many years before it was
found out. The most important and con-
sentative commercial agencies and finan-
cial institutions in this city and London
have lost money through their en-
ployees, and the Credit Lyonnaise, in
France, where bookkeeping is said to
have been carried to the very highest
point of safety, was completely upset by
number Of clerks two years ago, who
had no difficulty whatever in hoodwink-
ing the experts and pocketing the banks

Identity of the Men.

For several weeks past the officers have
known that Joe and Bill Sprout and one
Harry Sands, alias Anderson, known in
criminal and hobo circles as "Shy Red"
were the men wanted for the Weber
murder, and have been trying to locate
them, but thus far without success, ex-
cept in the case of ''Shy Red" who is re-
ported captured in San Bernardino. AS
the other guilty parties are well aware that
they are wanted, 1T may be just as well that
the public be fully informed, in the hope
that they may all be gathered in. The
matter has passed that stage where fur
ther secrecy on the part of the press
would be of avail.
Officer Wilson is credited with having
made the discovery that one of the coats
found in the rear of the Weber store be-
Ionged to Sands Cor Andersou), and other
circumstances transpired to connect the
Sprout brothers with the crime
The Sprouts have figured in the GRIM
lnaI annals of this city and county ever
since they were small boys, and they, as
well as Sands, have been inmates OF the
State Prisons. Even now they are
wanted in Los Angeles for crimes COM
mitted there.
