don atmosphere in 1887 to discover argon.
Eovv Argon Was Discovered.
It came about in this way: Lord Ray
leigh took to weighing nitrogen, one of
the then supposed two elements forming
air. and he n3Siced a strange thing. Nat
ural nitrogen, that is nitrogen extracted
from the air, he found to weigh percep-
tibly heavier than manufactured nitro
gen. He puzzled over this seemingly
unwarranted discrepancy in the weights
Of two e-..amples of the same gas, but was
unable TO account for the phenomena At
length he communicated his ideas on the
matter TO Professor Ramsay, and they
discussed the situation. Professor Ram
say asked permission to Investigate the
Discrepancy in weight between the natu-
raj and the artificial, q permission which
Lord Rayleigh readily gave, and the two
celet,rat ted chemists set u work expert
me.ting and Analysing. That air consist
ed * two gases oxygen and nitrogen
was an axiom OF chemical knowledge.

Some Great Readers.

One of the best educated men in
Chicago says, regretfully, that he
never had days schooling in his
life.
He taught himself to read. friend
loaned him the famous works of
modern authors and he has eagerly
devoured books, newspapers and
magazine articles until he is an
authority on literature. Yet he has
found time to make modest fortune,
not by speculation, but by close
attention to business He is devoted
to his family and belongs to several
clubs, so that he cannot be called a
book worm.
George Peabody used to tell how
his uncle thrashed him for "wast ting
his time over books" but the taste
for reading was never whipped out of
him.
John Wanamaker once said: ''Since
] was boy ] have read everything
that came into my hands, and have
been surprised how useful odd scraps
of information have been. When
see a young fellow spending his spare
cash on magazines and papers I know
he is furnishing his brains for sue

To Improve Your Writing.

to the schoolmaster, said the fat
man, and he exhibited with pride
his right hand with the ring finger
tied close up to the palm in a
string bride which was passed
around the thumb and tied around
the waist.
"You see, it came about in this
way. The end of the finger was
sore and I wanted to keep it away
from the desk while I was writing.
1t was after tied it up that made
my discovery. Ordinarily when I
write have an awkward habit of
forming the letters by moving my
whole hand and forearm. Since I
have tied that finger up and do not
have it to slide the hand along upon
I find that am obliged to write
with a movement of the first two
