FIRE AND AIR.
Their Intimate Relation Was EARLY Rec
ognized-Lord Baron's Belief.

Their Intimate Relation Was Early Rec
ognized-Lord Baron's Belief.
The intimate relation between fire
and air was early recognized, seeing
that experience soon taught that air was
necessary for fire. The experiment of
burning a candle in closed vessel, now
SO familiar to every schoolboy, is a very
old one, and the influence of a blast Of
air on furnace had been probably no.
ticed from very remote period. BY
some it was affirmed to be the food of
fire, while by others the same belief was
embodied in the phrase, "Air nourishes
fire"
Again, it was long ago observed that
inter, substance we'll known to the
chemical philosophers Of the past, could
produce intense ignition. It was hence
inferred that, since inter possessed this
property, it necessarily followed that
the two substances resembled each other
in composition. According to Robert
Boyle, the air contained volatile nj
ter" while Lord Bacon held that air
contained volatile, crude and windy
spirit" and thunder and lightning vert
supposed to be due to the presence Of
minute particles of this inter diffused
through air.
The important bearing of such obser-
vations is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which is one of the chief constitu-
ents of air and the one to which it owes
its power of supporting combustion,
also forms the largest elementary con-
stituent Of inter and is likewise the
source of the power possessed by that
body of supporting combustion.
The action of heat on metals in caus-
ing them to lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Cardan,
philosopher who lived during the six
teenth century, in noticing the increase
in weight that lead undergoes when
heated in air, attributed it to the gas in
the air, which feeds fame and which
rekindles body presenting an ignited
point. Scottish Reysw.

probably, in spite of his manner of living

some young lawyers who played the cruel
If laughable, practical joke on him which
shattered his reason and made an imbe-'
Gle of him have gone to their account
Judge Westbrook was found dead in his
bed in a hotel in Troy, having died from
heart failure while holding court in that
city, while Judge John B. Steele was
thrown from his buggy by runaway
horse and had his brains dashed out
against the ourbsUone. Many people can
no doubt see the hand of retributive JUS
tice in the death of these two men, but
let it be SAID that they bitterly repented
their practical joke which wrecked the
life of the subject of this story long years
before they went to their account, and
that they both died loved and respected
and highly regarded by both their neigh
bors and the public at large. 1t was
never-ceasing cause of regret on the part
Of both that their little fun had resulted
SO diaastrously. They both lived to be
rated among the most eminent jurists in
America.
/. There is one portion of the story that
has not yet been told. Colonel Judson,
after he had sent the unfortunate
Boots to his home in Kingston, re-
turned to the city and called on Miss
Lind. He related to her in detail the
story of her crazed admirer, and the
great singer wept. She expressed her pity
for poor Boots in tho most tender way
and then wrote long letter to his moth
or, expressing her sorrow for what had
occurred In that letter she enclosed
miniature of herself painted on ivory,
which is yet in possession OF the family,
and is highly priced. Frequently while
she was in this country she would com-
municate with the Van Steenberg family
and inquire after her crazed lover.
The home of sBoots'' the Hermit
stands alongside country highway in
what is known as the Flatbush neigh
borhood. Although orazed and imbeoile
in most things he tells the story of his
lost love and his ruined life with clear
ness of detail that is astonishing.

THE THROWING STICK.
One of the Proofs Of the Trans Polar
Current.

Distinctly Alaskan in Characterize
Doubt of Its Identity and Little of its
Journey-Nansen's Belief.
One of the evidences of the great arctic
current from Boring strait past the north
pole to Greenland is the throwing
stick' used by the squimau OF Alaska
which was found ten years ago IN Green
land. The Throwing stick is a handle
used by the natives for hurting darts at
game, and it is used almost exclusively
among the Alaskans. This stick was
found in the winter of 1886 among
driftwood at GodhaveD, on the west coast
of Greenland. The supposition is that 1t
hoated across the arctios from Alaska,
skirting the coast of Siberia, over the
route iourneyed by De Long and the
Jeanette in 1913, passing close to the
pole, thence down by Cape Washington,
which Greedy reached in 1889, and indie
pendence Bay, Peary's northernmoss
point In 81 and '92 and '93, through the
Greenland sea, and then borne by DIVER
ting currents upward into Davis STRAIT.
Mr.. Henry Elliot of the Smithsonian
Institution, speaking of this proof Oh
Nansen's theory said that while
there can be no doubt of the identity OF
this Alaskan stick and the probability

Iished at Washington, for July, 1890.
This was three years bsfore Nansen drew
the attention of the scientific world
sharply to the drift theory. Mr.. John
Murdoch there gives full account of the
throwing stick proof. His article fol-
lows:
"Some time ago the Norwegian Maya
zine Naturen published a notice of the
meeting of the ENTHUSIASTICALLY at
Chrisriana on June IL, 1886. In this
notice it was stated that Y. Nielsen
(the curator of the University Museum)
exhibited throwing stick for harpoon,
found among driftwood at Godthaah. 1t
is of form unknown in Greenland, but
agrees completely with the throwing
stick used in Alaska. 1t has therefore
probably made the same journey as the
relics of the Jeanette expedition found
at Julianehaab.'
sit Immediately occurred to me that
with the extensive collections at our dis
posal in the National Museum, in con-
nection with the observations published
by Prof. Mason; it would be easy to
arrive at an almost certain conclusion
about the specimen in question. l there
fore wrote at once to DR.. Rink. in
Christiana, who know would be inter-

Venezuela's Counsel Proves that England's
Claims to Disputed Territory are Based
Upon Fraud.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-Venezuela S
brief prepared by Counsel Storrow and
presented yesterday to the Venezuelan
commission as we'll as to the British
counsel, is the most important paper
that has so far appeared in the case.
Mr.. Storrow demonstrates that there
never has been any British sovereign
ty in the disputed territory; that the
Dutch never gained the slightest foot
hold in the Orinoco basin and there
fore never transferred what did not
exist to Great Britain and caps his ar
guments by demonstrating that the
Schomburgk line as held by Lord Sal
isbury was a forgery perpetrated by
the English government 20 years after
Schomburgk's Leath.
Mr. Storrow says the British claim
has confessedly no basis except occu-
patton, and the rules of law applied
then to the facts alleged not only give
no support to the British attempt to
extend the boundary, but are specifi-
cally fatal to it. 1t demolishes the so.

1t Is Well Represented In the lnternati tional
Convention OF the Young Peoples Union
of that Church.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 17.--The
sixth international convention of the
Baptist Young Peoples Union of
America was called to order Thursday
at the Exposition building with 5000
people present Several speeches of
welcome were made. Rev. Roteat, of
New Haven, Conn, delivered an elo-
quent address in response to the
speeches of welcome, speaking on be-
half of the board of managers of the
International union. Gen. Wilkins, of
Chicago, read the annual report of the
board of managers, which was in part
as follows:
The junior movement is attracting
general attention and societies are be-
ing rapidly formed. 1t is impossible as
yet to secure a satisfactory enrolment
of local organizations, but there is rea-
son to believe that there are in the
United States and Canada, total of
not less than 5000 societies, with a
membership of more than 100000.
There are about 1900 junior societies
in the number, with a membership of
about 40, 1000. State organizations have
been effected during the year in Geor-
gia, Maine, North Carolina, South Car
olina and southern California.
