FIRE AND AIR.
Their intimate Relation Was Early REQ
ogDiSe d-Lord Barou'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 III closed vessel now
SO familiar To every schoolboy, is very
old one, and the influence of blast of
air on furnace had been probably no
ticed from very remote period. BY
some it was affirmed 10 be the food Of
fire, while by others the same belief was
embodied III the phrase, Air nourishes
fire -
Again, il was long ago observed that
inter, substance we'll 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
III 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 We're
supposed 10 be due To the presence Of
minute particles OF this inter difl'used
through air.
The important bearing of such obser-
yatiUns is due 10 the fact that oxygen
gas, which Is one Of the chief constitu-
ents of air and the one 10 which il 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 OH metals in caus-
ing them 10 lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Cardan,
philosopher who lived during the six
teenth century, in noticing the increase
III weight that lead undergoes when
heated i'll air, attributed it 10 the gas in
the air. which feeds flame and which
rekindles body presenting an ignited
point. Scottish review.

From Our Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, MARCH 16.-SenatOr
Chandler has done the public valu
BILE service by directing attention to
the enormous running expenses of the
senate. The result OF these researches
instigated by him more than Justify all
that has been said by the newspapers
on this subject. Senator Chandler
hnds that the roll of employees of the
Senate has been growing until now it
as reached the startling number of
$50, and these employees draw annual
" in salaries $4S2. 000-an increase of
5000, 900 yearly in the past nine years.
The striking feature is the rapid in
crease in the number of persons re-
ninety senator's The salaries and
mileage of the ninety senators is $780,
900 annually. So it appears that the
cost of the help is more than the cost
of the senator's. The New Hampshire
senator has show that there are about
four employees to every member of the
upper branch of congress, and demands
10 huON WHdl utNtsSlll lhtlt - iOl 80
messengers and 81 laborers. 1t is al
together probable that Senator Chand-
Ter, who says he does not know exactly
in what other place there is eXtrava-
gance, would be much enlightened if
he were to give some of his valuable
time to an investigation of the Senate's
Contingent Fund. He will find there
such items as bay-rum, fine scented
soaps, hair brushes. pocket-knives and
other knick- knacks that no doubt graft
fy the luxurious habits, very speedily
acquired, of some senators, but for
which their Woodworking constituents
should not be taxed There Is as much
ineXcusable waste of the peoples
money right here than even in the
large number of employees that are
carried on the Senate pay roll. ''ln
this criss of diminishing revenues and
hard times for the poor the Senate
should set an example of retrenchment'
saws Senator Chandler Senators will
consult both the reputation of the Sen
ate and the interests of their cOnstitu-
entS if they find way to lessen the eX-
travagance Of the upper house.
