FIRE ~So AIN.
Their IatiEate Relation Was Early Rec
ognixed-Lord Baron's Belief.

IA H4f<s
oEnixed-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 IF
burning 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, a substance well known to the
chemical philosophers of the past, could
produce intense ignition. 1t 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 were
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 luste,
had also not escaped notice, and Cartian,
a philosopher who lived during the six.
tenth century, in noticing the increase
in weight that lead undergoes when
| heated in air, attributed it to the gas in
the air. which feeds flame and which
rekindles body presenting an ignited
| point. Review.

Wedding Effects.

A recent bride wore at the altar,
with her rich ivory satin gown, broad
belt of white silk webbing thickly sewed
with pearl sequins and pearls. The
clasp was of pearl and diamonds. At
another wedding the bridesmaids car
ried white sticks, to which were at
tached lunches Of pink roses. At a third
wedding of the month, this one in Lon
don, the corselet bodice figured rather
unbecomingly, according to the report
OF guest. The eight bridesmaids wore
high satin wristbands of cerise satin
over frocks Of cream faille, fichus of the
same shade of chiffon being also part
of the trimming. The effect was not
pretty, reproduced SO many times. and
save for the grace Of the large white
picture hats, with nodding plumes,
would haves made very stiff looking
toilets.-New York Letter.

affected his brain for several hours after

the postman, who handed him large

LAUNDRY CHARACTERS,

Right End of His Name.

Right End OF His Name.
Captain Thomas S. Smith of East One
Hundred and Twenty-fourth street, who
is somewhat Of philolo2ist, had an
amusing experience in trying to analyze
certain Chinese characters 1t appears
that when Chang Lee located his laun-
dry in Harlem, the captain was his first
customer. AS the acquaintance grew
Chang Lee strained the red tape laun-
dry laws and did not issue the usual
ticket to the captain, but called at his
apartment every Monday for his laun-
dry and returned it on Thursday in q
package marked with hieroglyphics.
Is that my name:" asked the cap
tain Of Chang as he pointed at the Chi
nese characters shortly after the laundry
delivery plan was inaugurated.
Eyes. He you name. See:"
The captain didn't see, but set at
work to do SO, and for several weeks
studied the writing that Chang Lee
brought to him on each returning Thurs
day. He searched the libraries for such
Chinese literature and lexicons as they
held, examined laundry tickets and read
the signs i'll Mott street in the hope Of
being able to learn how Chang Lees
characters conveyed the idea of the
name of Smith, but he made an utter
failure. Finally he decided to appeal to
Chang Lee.
"Is that my name:" he asked the
laundryman ON the occasion of his mex,
visit.
Yes

out of such looking scrawl:"

HORTICULTURE IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
what has Been Our Failure in the Past:

What has Been Our Failure in the Past?
The annual report of the Minnesota
State Horticultural society for the year
1885 says: "Our failures in the past
are the results of planting varieties not
adapted to this climate. To make a
success OF the apple We must get our
varieties from climate similar to this
in every respect. Our state society
realized this important fact years ago,
and have succeeded in procuring va
rieties that are reliable in this climate
and the fruit is both early and late and
of good quality"
If those were the failures in Mime
sofa eleven years ago; then what is our
failure in Dakota at this time? Who
can solve the problem?
Mr.. Shannon, from the western part
of the state, says in the same volume:
''In the country where live think ]
am visited by about every fruit man
that comes through the country; and
find that no two men sell the same
trees. They all make speciality Of
something and generally the specially
amounts to nothing. If information
could be sent out on which the people
could rely it seems to me it would be o1
great benefit. They will buy every
thing that comes along when they set
the cut OF the fruit, not knowing wha
they are buying, and as q rule i
amounts to nothing"
Remember this was said in Mime
sofa eleven years ago; and does 1T no
seem as though it would apply directl.
to our part of the country today? Is j

trees that have been planted as We
