Revival Meetings.


To the Daily LIGHT:
We fully recognize the power OF
the press, and with conscientious
belief that that power is welded
for good or evil. We desire to pro-
cure the favorable influence Of the
secular. as we'll as the religious
press, to spread abroad the effer-
vescent sentiments Of peace with
God, and promote true happiness
and congeniality among mankind.
For righteousness eXalteth a ma
ton, but sin Is reproach to any
people. We were appointed by the
last session of the West Texas con-
ference as pastor OF the st. Paul
NJ. E. church, and with unfiattering
faith in Almighty God, and con.
fidence in man, and with a firm
belief in his susceptibility in the
moral and religious improvement
of his condition, we have now in
progress a protracted meeting.
Therefore, we ask the praying peo-
pie of San Antonio, and all the
churches, to ask Gods blessings
upon our feeble efforts in the shape
of true revival. We began this
meeting two weeks ago, and the
result to date is twelve CONVEX
sious, with good indications for
many more. Yours, for God and
humanity,
MACK HENsEN, Pastor.

READY FOR MORE BUSINESS.

The Daily Light Job Department, Better
Equipped than Ever, Under the
Management ofMr. F L. Robinson.
With the beginning of March Mr..
+. l.. Robinson assumes the man
agement OF the Daily LIGHT Job
Department, and will conduct that
branch of our business in the fu-
ture. The time Of the manager
and office force of the LIGHT
is too much occupied with the
business of the newspaper to give
proper attention to the job print
ing department., hence it was
thought advisable to place that
branch Of cur business in the
hands Of a capable man who can
devote his whole time and atten-
ton to it.
Since the incorporation OF the
Maverick Litho. Printing Co. abolt
a year ago, Mr.. Robinson has been
in charge of the printing depart
ment OF that institution, and pre-.
viously for several years held q
responsible position with the
house of Clarke & Courts at Gal
weston. =
AS to the future OF The LIGHT
Job Department, it is intended TO
keep abreast of the times, and in
addition to the handsome new
type, etc., already ordered and to
arrive in a few days, such other
additions will be made from time
to time as may be necessary to at
all times turn out first.c class work

Injured Innocence.

Frederick Lemaitre, the we'll known
actor, was afflicted with an abnormal
tendency to pride and self esteem, even
for man Of his profession. His despotic
bearing toward the employees at the
theaters often led to an exchange Of
angry words. At the fiftieth perform
ance of play he would expect the mu-
sicians to exhibit the same eagerness to
hear him as on the first night. He ex-
pressly forbade them to read their pa
pers in the orchestra during the intervals
Of playing, as had been their custom
from time immemorial. Frederick pre-
tended that the practice "interfered
with his play"
Now, the leading clarinet at one OF
the houses obstinately refused to submit
to prohibition which he considered nc
actor had the right to enforce, and went
on reading as usual Frederick protested,
swore, raved and asked the name Of the
recalcitrant clarinet player. just al
that moment the musician passed
through the greenroom.
ISIS that you," cried Frederick, il
angry tones, ''who has had the audacity
to read in the orchestra during my great
love scene?"
"I?" said the clarinet. "What {
foul slander! You have been misinform

Fireproof Paper.

An account Of the fireproof paper pre-.
pared by L. Frobeen Of Berlin shows the
production of a valuable article for in
dustrial and other purposes Ninety.five
parts Of asbestos fiber Of the best quality
are washed in a solution Of permanga-
nate Of calcium and then treated with
sulphuric acid, the fiber being thus
bleached After treating the fiber in
this manner five parts Of ground wood
pulp are added, and the entire mass
placed in the agitating box, with an ad-
dition Of some lime water and borax.
After being thoroughly mixed the ma
terial is pumped into regulating box
and allowed to flow out of a gate into
an endless wire cloth, where it enters
the usual paper making machinery.
Paper produced in this way, it is re-
ported, will resist even the direct influ.
ence Of fame, and may be placed in q
white heat with impunity. Ordinary
paper may be made fireproof by treating
it with fluid consisting of 83 parts
manganate Of chloride, 30 parts OF ortho.
phosphoric acid, 10 parts carbonate Of
maspesia, 10 parts boric acid. and %
p6fts chloride Of ammonia in a quart
ofwater. This solution is applied several
times, and paper saturated with it will
resist great heat and the direct influence
Of fame for some time.

Preferred Coal Oil.

One day not long ago tall country.
maI,, with his boots frescoed with "yal-
Ter" mad and his pants legs stuffed into
their tops, walked into Market street
dental office and inquired if that was
the place where they ''yanked" out
teeth.
The dentist informed him that il
was, and he. taking a seat in the oper-
ator's chair, told the dc mist that he had
one he wanted 'yanked" out.
The dentist gave the tooth several
preliminary probes with sharp instru-
ment, which appeared to give the coun.
tryman great lain, ard then told the
countryman that us this tooth was very
sensitive it would be necessary for him
to take gas to deaden the pain which
would be caused by the operation.
The ountryman grew indignant al
this, and very quickly informed the
dentist that lie would take coal oil il
neccssary, but he'd be 'gol darn eff he
would go gas" as he'd "Loard bout
people bein 'fixiatcd by takin it," The
dentist pulled the tooth without the aiG

Concerning the celebrated Father Oar.
cy, probably the greatest wit Of that
witty nation, Ireland, it is related that
he once visited the palatial mansion of
perfect specimen of the nouveaux rich
es, who lived in the neighborhood of
Dublin, at the invitation of it's pompous
owner. He was shown all over the
house, his host taking great pains, as is
habitual in such cases, to keep the wit
ty and observant priest we'll informed
as to the cost Of all the beautiful things
he was shown. Finally. after making
the complete tour Of the chateau, the Ii
brary was reached, its tremendous
shelves groaning under the weight of
thousands upon thousands of volumes re-
splendent in the most magnificent bind
ings. Here they seated themselves, and
the host said, with sigh Of snobblsh
eXultation:
We'll, father, have brought you
here last because this is my favorite
room. The other rooms may give
pleasure to my wife and my daughters.
but this is my place-right here among
these books, who are my friends And

score Of ultra looking volumes. "are

over his good natured face as he said:

The French Institute Of Science has
had under discussion the chemistry Of
barks possessing an industrial value. II
is shown that the gums and cements
which hold together the filaments OF
fiber are composed essentially of pectose,
cutose and vasculose, while the fiber
itself is composed of fibrose, cellulose and
it's derivatives-the theory, therefore, Of
degumming OF retting being to dissolve
and wash out the gums without attack
ing the cellulose; while, in order to
eliminate the vasculose and cutOse, al
kaline oleates or caustic alkalies under
pressure are found to be necessary, and
even bisulphites and hydrochlorites
The gums being thus dissolved, the epi-
dermis is detached and can be separated
mechanically from the layer of fiber by
washing. An important point involved
is that upon the degree Of cleanness of
the fiber must depend the expense of this
degumming operation. In the construc-
ton of machines for this purpose it has
been assumed that there is but little diff
ference whether the ribbon to be operated
upon is simply stripped bark or a well
decorticated product, as the revolving
agency, followed by a volume of water,
may be depended upon to render the sep
aration complete and to wash out all ex.
traneous matters, giving the pure fiber.

cost in direct ratio to the percentage Of
waste matters remainiI g in the ribbons

Developing /. csthodorraph.

In developing a cathodograph picture
it is noticeable that the development
goes on all through the film, back as
we'll as front This is not the case with
ordinary camera exposures, which de-
velop from the front toward the back of
the plate. The behavior noted is with
the cathodograph an indication of the
fact that the sensitive film itself is
largely transparent to the cathode rays,
and therefore lets them through without
fully utilizing them. If they could all
be absorbed and made to do chemical
work, our time for making an impress
sion would be much abbreviated Eli

IN the great literary and scientific r.
vival that took place In the sixteenth
century, botany made fresh departure.
The discovery Of America had brought
vast number Of new plants to Europe,
and their study doubtless stimulated
the more complete study Of those Of the
old world. The great commercial activ-
ity Of the century must also have had
its influence. Ships were bringing new
products from all parts, and among
these plants were not forgotten. But
from whatever cause It arose, the great
impulse and renewed activity in the
discovery and study Of plants were quite
remarkable. They produced large
body Of students. whose labors were un-
wearied, and wonderful amount Of
botanical literature.
Among these students were such
men as Lonicer, L'Obel, Caesalpinus,
L'Ecluse, Mattioli, Caspar and John
Bauhin, Conrad Gesner, Pona, Leonard
Fuchs, Prosper Alpinus, Dodoens and
many others. And these men were not
stay at home botanical students They
were great travellers, whose delight was
to collect and examine plants in their
native countries. Caspar Bauhin collect
ed them in Germany, France and Italy
with great labor and danger ("quod
praecipuum erat, plantas locis natalibus
inspiciendo, nullis laboribus, nullis mo-
lestiis, nullis sumptibus pepercimus")
L'Ecluse collected them in Spain, Hun

Bogus Money Lenders In Paris.

From Frenchman's point Of view,
everybody who lives we'll and dresses

he is known to have any other occupa-

out distinct profession there are those
who lend their names and imposing ap-
pearance to enterprises which could ex-
ist only in the country where the "gogo"
is always ON the lookopt for rapid road
to fortune. For example, the money

A Mystery of the Rine.

Something that no man understands
is why rifle, clamped in an immov-
able wise, will not put the bullets into
the same hole every time, even if the
wind does not interfere. A correspond
ent of Shooting and Fishing tells how
he put rife of SO caliber into a wise
and fired it ten times, the sights being
always aimed directly at mark The
bullets went all over four inch circle
at 90 yards. Theoretically all ought to
have gone into the same hole.
A man who holds his rife gripped
hard at one time and easily at another
will not shoot as we'll as one who takes
the same hold Of his rife every time
The best results are obtained from bench
rests when the man puts his shoulder
against the rife butt.

"A LITTLE PINK SHOE.

Only little pink baby shoe
That is stained and wrinkled and torn,
With tiny hole where the little pink too
Peeped out in the days that are gone.

That to market 90 often would go.
And over and over the legend was told
A. ! kissed the little pink toe
"Piggie some more. the red lips would lisp,
And the story and kiss were given
Again and again, 30 happy were we
In motherhood's foretaste Of heaven.
But there came night, with desolate blight,
When death bore my idol away,
And no little toe ever peeps from the shoe.
To be kissed in the sweet old way.
But my tears have deluged the little pink
shoe
And stained it deeper stain,
And long for the touch that would chill me

Near my heart that is silent and cold,
And perhaps up above, in the sunlight Of love
shall kiss the pink toe as Of old.
