AlnmInn Production.

The process brought forward by Hell
bling for the production of alumina from
clay, so as to be absolutely free from
silica, is described in Complies Rendus
as very simple The clay is thoroughly
Incorporated with mixture in equal
parts Of ammonia and potassium sui
pilates, in such proportion that three
molecules of ammonium sulphate may
be present to every moleoule of alumina.
and the mixture is made into hollow
bricks, which are then heated in an
oven at $40 degrees to $50 degrees @.
At this temperature both gaseous am

prepared by spreading out the powdered
alum i'll thin layer on shelves arranged
in vertical tower, which is traversed
by the warm, moist, ammoniacal fumes

In the Cape Colony itself there are
many grades Of society among the Dutch
and French themselves. The older,
wealthier and more aristocratic families
who live around Cape Town and the
vicinity are removed by whole world
of education and ideas from the uncouth
corn boer OF the Malmesbury district or
the tobacco grower of George or Oudt-
shoorn.
To say that, for the sake of senti-
ment, a Paarl vigneron or a Karroo
sheep farmer will shoulder his rife and
leave his hocks and herds to fight for
the Transvaal, thereby imperiling his
all in the chances of war, is to exagger-
ate and distort the race question in
South Africa. Indeed, it may surprise
US to learn that among Jameson's troop
ers there were several men bearing old
Dutch and French colonial names. The
Transvaal government has no great love
for the brethren of the Cape Colony and
classes them rs ''uitlanders. Black

The GLOBE oE MARS.
What We Know to nm Absolute Certainty
About the Planet.

We know that the years of Mars, al
most twice as long as ours are composed
Of $50 days, 80 hours, 80 minutes and
Al seconds, and surely nothing need be
moro precise We know also that the
duration of day and night, or, to speak
more exactly, that of the durnal rota-
ton, is "a hours, 81 minutes, 90 seconds
and Go hundredths of second. We
know further that, since the inclination
Of its axis of rotation is "a degrees so
minutes, the seasons there are sensibly
of the same intensity us upon our planet.
Besides, with our own eyes we see the
polar SHOWS melt during the summer
and reappear in the winter.
Furthermore, we know very exactly
the geography of this neighboring
globe, and in this respect there is hard
ly any more mystery for us than in its
calendar. We have observations and
detailed drawings of its continents, its
seas, its streams, its islands, its capes,
the mouths of its great rivers and its
canals---there is not, one might say, n
single point upon the surface of Mars
which has not been the object of per-
petual study ON the part of various OBJ
servers
Still further, we know also the dem
sity Of this globe as we'll as the intensity
of gravity upon its surface, and these
are two dominating elements in the or
ganization of its living residents. The
whole globe of Mars, which has n di-
ameter of about half that of the earth
(52S thousandths--6, 1913 kilometers or
1881 miles) weighs only 100 thous-
andths of our globe, or 625, b84 quintil-
lions of Kilograms. The density of the
materials which compose Mars is infer
ior to that of the substances which COM
pose the earth in the proportion of I'll
to /, 000 If we compare this density
with that of water, for example, we find
that the mean density of the earth is 5 u
times $500 greater than that of water,
or, in other words, our globe weighs
516 times as much rs globe Of water
of the same dimensions. But Mars
weighs not quite times GOD as much
as globe of water of its dimensions.
Its component substances are, then, less
dense than ours.
Once more, gravity there Is much less
powerful than upon the earth, in the
proportion of 876 to 1,000-that is to
say that mass of 1000 pounds trans
ported to Mars and there weighed by a
spring balance would weigh only $40
pounds, and that n man weighing 100
pounds upon tho earth would weigh
only 60 pounds upon the surface of the
neighboring globe. Here we have abso-
lutte data, demonstrated automatically
and indisputable-data with which inn
agination has nothing whatever to do. -

THE MOST DANGEROUS WOMAN
To Society Is She Who Is Married and
Indifferent to Domestic Ties.


"It is unfortunate that we have in
this life of ours, which seems SO full to
some of us, SO many women who can
find nothing for their hands to do. /"
writes Edward W. Box in Ladies' Home
Journal, discussing women and Card
Parties. " 81 do not mean by this those
whom we call the wealthy and the lei
sure classes The greatest dangers to our
womanhood do not arise from these
classes. The woman most dangerous to
modern society is she who is married
and yet is indifferent to domestic ties,
who lives in boarding house or hotel,
and who is constantly ON the lookout
for something to occupy her attention.
And woman in this condition gener-
ally finds the very thing she shouldn't.
Instead of filling up her life with some
thing worthy of her womanhood. she
drags it out through succession of such
enjoyments as these progressive card
parties.
"As she cannot play alone she seeks
company, and, unfortunately, It never
difficult for woman of this sort to find
companions Of her own kind She is
one of the types of women who have
made these card parties what they are
today among women. The well bred
woman; the woman Of intelligence who
can see their relative fitness Of things;
the woman who believes that God gave
her something to do in this world; the
woman with nice perceptions; the wom-
an who is wholesome in every sense;
the woman whom it is good for another
woman to know, who says something Of
value when she speaks, who lifts herself
mentally and spiritually above others,
whom mothers like their daughters to
know and their sons to talk with-be-
lieve me, my friend, when 1 say all
this, and say it in kindness-such
women do not play cards during the
daytime; they leave that sort of thing
to others. They find something else to
do--something worthier Of them, some-
thing better, more elevating, more en-
tightening and better fitted to qualify
them for their positions in their homes
and their duties toward their husbands
and children. -

Almost the only man who is praised
throughout the book (Barras' memoirs)
is n man who by universal assent de-
served tho praise that he receiyes-Mar-
shall Lcfebvre, Due de Dantzick, the
husband in the well known play (al-
though perhaps not in real life) Of
mime. Sans-G Gene" Barras never
names him without speaking Of his
courtesy, real goodness and perfect up,
righteousness of character, and this even
at u time when he was holding the high
est offices under Napoleon, and faith
fully serving one who to Barras was not
only the usurper, but the deadly personal
foe. Barras had much occasion for graf
itude to I.cfebvre, and with SO bad a
man as Barras this might have been ex-
pccted to secure his hatred had he
thought Lcfebvre worth it, but the Duo
dc Dant2icls, as is we'll known, was not
an eagle, and he had the tact never to
writo to Barras without telling him how
much he continued TO feel tho invariable
kindness which in the days Of the direc-
torato he himself had received from the
director. London Athen@um.

UNDER THE SNOW.

Over the earth lies the cleaning snow,
With never footprint today to show
The beaten paths of the past.
And the foolish hope and the foolish fear
That cheered and jeered us throughout tho
year,
How little they matter at last
Under the desert snow, who knows
Where lies the thistle, or where the rose
That gladdened the heart of spring?
Who reeSs now to what distant zone
The tuneful thrush and the lark havs flown,
Or II they still flutter and singP
Now in the days of another year
TITS well. Let old ways disappear
Under the Christening snow,
And over the paths that we tread anew
May our steps be firmer our course more true,
Come veal at last or woe.

BEASTS THAT GET sEAslcK.
Lions Become Unkinglike, Monkeys Ape
Humanity, and Dogs Are Woefui.


Humanity, and Dogs Are Woefui.
Human beings are not the only ones
who suffer from seasickness by any
means, One hears good deal about the
pangs that have filled men and women
with woe, but little is said Of the men,
ageries brought to America every year,
or carried hither and yon in wavetossed
boats.
Lions and tigers may be majestic
when they have unwavering earth or
rock against their paws, but q sea-
sick cat of these tribes is as forlorn as
any man ever was and doesn't look a
bit more kingly than wet rabbit. Even
its roars and growls have a weeping
sound in them, quite in keeping with
the general appearance Of the beast.
A monkey is as pitiful nm object when
it is seasick as any other beast so strick-
en-, and its forlorn facial expression is
SO human like and the way 1t clasps its
paws across its stomach is so natural
that the man who is not seasick neees-
sarily sees something to laugh at in the
misery Of the creature. Not so with the
seasick man. II he sees a seasick mon
key he is sure to swear furiously, think
ing the poor thing is hooking him.
1t takes dog to be woeful ut sea- 1t
has way of doubling all up, with its
tail between its legs and head hanging
down that shows deep seated pain. To
free itself the dog goes through all sorts
of contortions 1t will stretch out on the
deck, groan and squeal, sometimes ris-
ing ON its launches and lifting its head,
howl long and miserably, as some dogs
do at the sound of music. New York

Lucy Laroom's First Poem.
There is a poem beginning
The flrst, the flrstl Oh, naugl

The first, tho flrstl Oh naught like 1t
Our aftor years can bring
which seems to have q peculiar applica-
ton to first verses in general and to
Lucy Larcom's in particular.
When she was z years old, her brother
John proposed writing pootry-'just for
fun"-and she assented. John soon
abandoned the attempt, but Lucy pro-
duced two verses, which ran thus:
"Ono summer day. said little Jano.
"Wo were walking down n shady lano
When suddenly tho wind blew high,
And the red lightning flushed in tho sky.
"The poals of thunder. how they rollcdi
And felt myself little cooled.
For before had been quito warm,
But now around me was Storm"
John was elated over her success,
and it is safe to say that Miss Larcom 8
latter years saw ''naught like it. -

DENY THE CHARG ES.
Mrs. Estes ct al. Reply to the Suit
of James HOffecker.

Mrs. Estes ct al. Reply to the Suit
of James HOffecker.
Mrs. l.. G. Estes and Llewellyn W. Estes
have filed answers TO the suit brought
against them, along with their father and
Mahlon Winter, recently. by James Hof-
fecker of Wilmington, Del. Mr.. Hoffecker
says that Gen. Estes owes him about
81 200 on a note, for money borrowed sew
eral years ago, and has put his property
in the hands of his wife and children to
prevent Mr.. Hoffecker from collecting his
debt.
The answer declares that the assertions
that Gen. Estes has put his property in
other names or taken any action to defeat
the collection OF the debt is malciously
false. They admit they assisted Gen.
Estes to pay the debt in the suit of Ryan
against Estes because it was an hon est
debt.
Both deny owning an interest in The
Portland Flats; also deny owning con-
siderable line of securities mentioned in
the interrogatories of the bill.
Mrs. Estes says she owns No. 1910 T
street northwest and it was bought with
money left her by an aunt.
Llewcllyn Estes says he owns forty-four
shares OF stock in the American Fertilizer
Company, for which he paid and has never
got any dividends. He is sole proprietor
OF the American Drug Company, and the
Great American Herb Company. He orig
mated the latter. The former he bought
from his father on April 10 last, for $500
cash, and 4 balance OF $500 to be paid
mt of the REGENTS His father had cha r.rp
of the books and accounts till this balance
was paid. This was finished some time
ago and the father no longer has anything
to do with the business.

the ca Sc dissolving the injunction forbidding
the Ohio National Bank to pay over TO
Llewellyn W. Estes $3.50 on deposit there
