man, u stanton, arrived here last
Monday evening to breathe a few
breaths Of pure mountain air and
drink few draughts Of cold spring
water. But combining business
with pleasure, they materially aid
ed Highland Lodge, No. 10, in
some important work it had ON
hands.
On the trip ont the two LEADING
features were Messrs. McChesney
and Lang on their wheels. Mr..
McChesney, who is Of rather stout
build, was unequally yoked with
his slender companion, Mr.. Lang,
on a long run, but counting loss
Of two and half pounds for each
mountain crossed, to the former, it
would not have been necessary for
them to have crossed many more
mountains until they would have
struck the same notch on the scale
beam. The balance Of the party,
in more substantial vehicles, quiet
Iy brought up the rear, ever ready
and willing to help the brethren
on the wheels, should they stick in
the mud. But they were plucky.
They started Oh wheels, and they
proposed to complete the trip il
the same manner, which they did.
During the four days Of their
stay here, the boys were well taken
care Of at the Commercial Hotel,
where they received hospitable
treatment, which they appeared
to greatly enjoy. On Wednesday
number Of Highland Masons ac-
companied the visiting members on
a short trip down JacksOn's river,
where a few hours were spent quite
pleasantly in hunting and fishing.
The boy of the crowd who OF
course had the best luck, caught a
nice string Of trout, but he was
greatly assisted by the anxious
lookerS-on, who followed him up
and down the banks Of the river.
Messrs. Lang and Bowman gave
an exhibition Of their skill in the
use Of the shot gun by breaking up
all the crockery, tin pans, &C., that
could be found. Mr.. Ashby Shultz,
with his Kodak, took snap shots
of all the beautiful scenery that
caught his eye, and no doubt has
recorded many pictures that will be
Of great interest in future. The
great feature Of the trip was the
elegant and bountiful supper pre-
pared by Mrs. c. R. Carpenter, of
which the twenty members Of the
party partook with relish that is
experienced only by hunt8men and
fishermen. The supper was pro-
nounced fine and especially the
mountain trout.
To the deep regret Of the town
people, the Stanton party took
their departure yesterday, carrying,
with them, they said, pleasant
thoughts Of their visit, with a long
ing to have it duplicated when an
other summer comes.
Brother Smith has shown great
interest in Highland Lodge, this
making his second trip to visit it
this season He is a bright Mason
and a hearty worker in the cause.

EXPERTS AT CHEMISTRY.
Germans Lead the World In the Mys-
ticlsm of the Laboratory.

Made in Germany" Is now the recog-
throughout the world, says the london
Telegraph. The dyes and by-products
derived from coal tar have become a
classical instance, or, as Bacon would
have said, glaring example AS we
have stated. the fatherlanders have
captured these trades from us. Go to
Elberfield and what do we see? At the
Farbenfabriken, besides first-class
works, we are shown laboratory un-
surpassed, perhaps not equaled, in Lon
don, and employed in research or in the
business there are sixty high-class
chemists. In the Badische Anilin und
Sodafabrik seventy-eight chemists are
engaged. An expert witness told the
Gresham commission that six skilled
chemists was the maximum number
employed in any English color works,
II, indeed, there were so many. These
men are increasingly active in research.
The price to pay for progress is eternal
Every hint from England, France,
America or Italy is tried, every new
material tested. every hopeful process
patented. The great works at
Hochet made in 1890 from 100 to 1900
colors; they employed 1900 hands, sew
enty chemists and twelve engineers. A
firm in Offenbach with 300 workers had
forty-five Investigators.
The lesson that has been driven home
In the fa'herland is that industrial pro-
cesses carried on upon a large scale
give great chances for discovery. Just
as gasmaking gave aniline, so the soap
boilers lye yielded iodine, the waste Of
salt gardens bromine, the mother
liquors from the springs caesium and
rubidilm, the acid chambers selenium
and thallium, the mines and metallur-
gical works gallium and germanium.
Therefore the "Chemiker" on the other
side of the Rhine is always looking for
something new. He found it in the
benzidine and azo dyes, the former CIV
Ing Congo red and chrysamin, "the
most important discovery of modern
times so far as cotton dyeing is con-
7 cerned." In short, as DR.. Ostwald has
1 said it is now a firm article Of belief
that "the secret of German industrial
: chemistry is the recognition that
/ science is the best practice" IN Eng
l land, 1t is greatly to be feared, there
still fingers faith in "the rule OF
/ thumb"

THE DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH.
Probate Statistics in Massachusetts, FROM
1929 to 1891.


1929 to 1891.
"The Distribution of Wealth" is the
title of a pamphlet part II. Of the report
for 1890 from Horace G.. Wadlin, chief
Of the bureau of the statistics of labor,
containing statistics obtained through
the records of the probate offices and
extending from 1929 to 1891. These
data are divided into three important
periods. The year 1880 practically
marks the close OF the era OF bond pro-
duction; the period eliminating in 1860
the establishment of modern methods,
and between 1860 and 1880 the factory
system was thoroughly established.
After a brief introduction comes a Sc
ries of tables containing matter culled
from the probate records Of the several
counties.
The &c, $40 inventoried probates which
enter into the tables represent in the
aggregate $3.50, ,6S3 ,94S, the average
value Of each estate being $9,917 The
holders OF this am punt of wealth were
90, ,5S4 males, holding estates Of the
average value of $12,217. and 1876 fe-
males, whose average holding was
$5,675. The final section of the recap
itulation by years show that in the pc
riod considered-1S29 to 1S31-3,69S in
ventoried probates represented $14,494,-
107, or an average Of S3,919 each. In
the next period-1S59 to 1S61-6,922 in
ventoried estates were registered, the
average value of each estate being
$7,694, In the period 1879 to 1881 H.
142 inventoried probates were regis
tered, the average value of each being
$12 800. In the latest period considered
1889 to 1S91-14 COS inventoried pro-
bates were registered, the average value
of each estate being $l0,649. That is to
say. for the state at large, the average
value of each estate passing through
| the probate Offices, so far as values can
be obtained from inventories filed
therein, rose from $3,919 to s1O,649, but
while this increase is seen when the en-
tire period of sixty years is considered
a decline is shown from the period 1878
! to 1881 to that of 1889 to 1891 from S12,-
329 to $1O,649.
! When the counties are examined In
detail the average value of the estates
listed in the period 1889 to 1891 is much
in excess of that listed in the period
1929 to 1881, and except in the case OF
! Dukes, Franklin, Nantucket Norfolk
! Plymouth and Worcester counties the
! average value of the inventoried pro-
bates in the period 1879 to 1881, condi-
tion similar to that shown for the state
at large, as we have just seen. Some
peculiariues appear in the figures which
are not to be accounted for upon the
! face OF the returns. For instance, in
Barnstable county the average value ol
estates probated in the period 1879 tC
1881 is entirely out of proportion to the
average value Of the estates probateC
in either of the other periods. In Bris
tol county, during like periods, a simi
lar discrepancy in averages appears: II
both cases this discrepancy is probably
accounted for by death, during the pc
riod in which the abnormally large
average appears-namely, 1879 to 1881
of some person or persons Of larg,
wealth.

THE BURGLARS PARACHUTE.
London Craoksm~n Adopt Aeronaut's De-
vice for Practical Use.

vice for Practical Use.
Burglary on scientific principles has
brought James Sanders, a ticket-of-
leave man, into great trouble, says the
London Telegraph. He was not a mere
iimmy-and-ladder man, but student
Of aerostatics and found out that the
best way Of dropping out of a window
was to do it la parachute, for which
purpose when he went a-burgling he
carried a large umbrella. This he in
tended to open when he had amassed
his booty, drop gently to the ground
under its auspices and hurry away with
the parachute under his arm, like a
respectable family man taking home
the Sunday dinner.
His first experiment on his newly
Invented pain took place on Saturday
evening IN a house in Pimlico. Entry
was effected comfortably and the ar
ticles to be taken away were carefully
arranged in parcel. Suddenly he fam
cied he heard a noise. He rushed to
the window, parachute in hand, say
ing, NOW for the scientific depart
uIe, Dut, UT fortunately TOT MIN, IN the
hurry of the moment he forgot to open
the umbrella before leaping and conse-
quently lost all the benefit Of his sci
entific skill. He and his booty dropped
into the area with crash like any or
dinary burglar, much to the alarm OF
ne occupant of the kitchen, who was
sitting quietly smoking a pipe after his
weeks work.
Sanders was picked up in a consid-
erably damaged condition. reproaching
himself for his absence of mind and
lamenting his bad luck. A former ex-
ploit on unscientific principles brought
him seven years penal service and a
ticket Of leave. The present may prove
quite as lucky. Mr. de Rutzen, the
Westminster magistrate, committed
him for trial.
