TALKED ABOUT HEL|UM,

Professor w. J. Hussey of Stanford ad-

of Sciences last evening upon "The New

say were making experiments as to the
density OF nitrogen They obtained nitro
gen from the atmosphere and from min
erals. They found that the nitrogen OBJ
tanned in this manner varied in density
a half of per cent. This led them to in
vestigate the cause. The result was that
they discovered q new gas in the atmos-
phere, comprising about per cent. This
gas was extracted and it was discovered to
be very inert, that is, it would not readily
unite with other gases. 1t was also found
to be monatomic, or having but one atom
to molecule.
Specimens of the new gas were placed
in vacuum vats. The vats were illumin-
ated by passing electric currents through

Garfield's First Employer.

Edward II. Viers, prosperous farmer,
who lives near Akron, claims to be the
man who gave James A. Garfield his first
work on the canal. He says: 1--WE were
pulling through Ravenna when 1 was ac
costed by boy who carried a bundle
under his arm. 1t was Garfield, and in the
bundle were what clothes he did not have
on his back. He wanted job. 1 needed
driver, and he went with me to Cleve-
land. That was the first stroke of work
Garfield ever did on the towpath" Viers
made were from the back of ''Old Prince"
a canal horse known along the entire
line.-Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch.

The dramatic sensation of the week will
be the appearance, for the first time on
any stage, of that blonde and ingenious
sprig of the British aristocracy, George
Sholto Douglas, fourth son of the Marquis
of Queensberry. The young mans resolu-
ton to become 'play actor is only an
other instance of the fact that the mild
and beneficial climate of California is pecu-
liarly adapted to fostering and developing
dramatic instincts. California actresses
are renowned, from the Pacific to the
Atlantic. California actors are becoming
power in the land. and George Sholto
Douglas, after a brief experience of Cali
fornia life, finds that he has received
enough free advertising in the State to
justify him in causing his noble name to
be placed on the posters of Growers

Alcazar, with every anticipation oil max
ing money out of the venture.
From the peers agents point of view
there is a good deal in name. Sholto
Douglas ancestors first got their name
prominently before the public in the reign
of Henry " of England, when their fierce
border warfare and subsequent reconcilia-
tion with the Percys gave rise to good deal
of the political trouble that led Henry to say
Uneasy lies the head that wears crown. ="
That was before America was discovered or
thought of. No one can deny that Sholto
Douglas belongs to a celebrated family
but he is a lord only by courtesy. There
are several titles in the Queensberry family

count Drumlanrig during the lifetime of
his father, the Marquis. Francis Archi-
bald, the eldest scion of the house of
Queensberry is now Viscount Drumlanrig.
and is consequently lord in his own
right. His brother, George Sholto, the
fourth son of the present Marquis, will
not inherit any title unless his elder broth
ers die childless. His correct appellation
his wife is the Honorable Mrs. Sholto
Douglas.
But Americans consider life too short
to worry over these delicate little questions
of primogeniture. They are generous
when it comes to bestowing titles. Only

The historic declaration OF iHdo'

then, and is true to-day For many
unhappy years the Cubans have been

which are the great highways to happi-

We also urge the press and tho pulpit,
with voice and prayer, to continue their
holp to the righteous cause Of tue men
who are brRvOly fighting for homo and
