Effect of Steam on Lubricants.

In some Investigations recently made
by DR.. Hoide on the action of super
heated steam on lubricants and the COT
rosdon of iron by these oils, he found,
says the Practical Engineer" that lu-
bricants are decomposed by steam at
high pressure, and that the decomposed
oils may seriously corrode the iron. The
continued exposure to steam trans
forms the oils into fatty acids, which at
tack the iron, yielding the greenish or
brownish greasy pastes which every
body knows. The observation that re-
fined rape oils proved much more delete
rious than common rape oil is peculiar
and needs further elucidation. During
the refining acids are introduced, of
course, but they are not supposed to re-
main in the oil. The addition of min
eral oils to vegetable oils seems to have
a more beneficial influence than one
would expect, although mineral oils
come out far better than tallow and
Vegetable oils.

New Uses for Ozone.

Ozone is becoming an important in
dustrial agent. 1t artificially ages
liquors. removes the effect of oily beans
in coffee and improves tobacco. In its
late application to the rapid seasoning
of wood for sounding boards and mu-
steal instruments it increases the resist
ance Of the wood to temperature and
moisture and adds to its acoustic quail
ties. It thickens linseed oil for lineol-
cum in a few days, whereas the old
method of oxidation often took several
months. It bleaches linen in less than
third of the time required by sunlight.
1t is also valuable in chemical and tech
nica1 processes, especially in purifying g
starch derivatives from undesirable
color, odor and taste.

sage will be sent in. Nothing out of the
ordinary COURSE is expected in the mes

rumors to the effect that the President
would make some important recommen-
dations in regard to Cuba, and SO promi-

Mr.. Reed will be chosen Speaker of the

In analyzing the result of the recent
election the fact should not be lost sight
OF that the 172 electoral votes to tie cast
for Bryan come from the states whose
total vote aggregates approximately
4, 050, 700. or an average of 25, $50 for
each electoral vote; while the states
whose electoral Votes will be cast for Nc
Kiniey polled a total of 9, 700, COO votes,
an average of 30, 600 for each eleotor. Put
in .other words, aitrsquired 10, SEQ mors
votes to choose a Mckinley elector than
to choose Bryan elector. If the cleo
tors were apportioned according to the
number Of votes cast, Mr.. Mckinley
would have SIS aDd Mr.. Bryan 1872, which
would more nearly represent the popular
will than the present division of 275 to
172. The extremes of the comparison are

ing one elector to each 1900 votes; aud
ON the other the state of New York,
