Exhibit in New York to Aid the
Key Monument Fund.

The exhibition of colonial relics for
the benefit of the Francis Scott Kew
monument fund opened in New York
on Monday last. Silken gowns which
adorned the beauties of century or
two ago, rare old laces, jewels, knee
buckles, china and silverware which
are priceless, because so highly priced
by their owners, are few of the more
personal relics.
The New York City Chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
has charge of the exhibition, which is
held III the assembly hall of the United
Charities Building. 1t was intended
to open on April 10Th, the anniversary
of the battle of Lexington, but as this
fell on Sunday, the Opening was post
poned. The proceeds are to help swell
the fund of the Francis Scott Key
Monument Association, which is plan
ming for a statue of Key at Frederick,
Md.
While there will be many valuable
articles loaned from New England,
Maryland and "A few other States, the
bulk of the exhibits are the property of
the New York families. Among the
names represented are the Van Court
landts, Schuylers Van Rensselaers.
Van Wycks, Livingstones, Beekmans,
De Peysters, Vauderpoo!s, Van Burens,
the GARDENERS, of GARDENERS Island,
and the Kips, of Kip's Bay There
will be mementoes of sturdy old Peter
Stuyvesant and of De Witt and George
Clinton. of especial interest are sew
eral autograph letters of Washington,
the Marquis de Lafayette, Baron Steu-
ben, John Hancock and John Jay.
The military relics include swords
and niuskets battered in revolutionary
service. There is an old canteen
which was carried by William Sum-
ner at Bunker Hill. A set of Sevres
china, which belonged to the French
royal family, and was brought to this
country by refugees after the behead-
ing of Marie Antoinette, is shown, still
complete. 1t was b ught from the fu-
gitives by Philip Van Rensselaer,, then
Mayor of Albany.
Multitudes of other interesting heir
looms, including spinning wheels,
Barbara Fritchie's sideboard, exhibited
by Mrs. Mclean, miniatures. urns and
odd little footstoves and warmiug-pans
are on view. The regent of the New
York City Chapter is Mrs. Donald
Mclean, daughter Of Mrs. John Ritch-
lie, of this city.

An air-tester, for showing the degree
of contamination of the air of work
shop or other place where peopla are
crowded together, is an interesting APP
paratus lately shown in Zurick. A
closed glass vessel is filled with red
fluid having the property of being
bleacbed by carbonic acid. One end
of a glass siphon dips into the liquid,
and from the other end a drop falls
every 100 seconds, and glides slowly
down cord kept stretched by a
weight. The more carbonic acid
the air contains the quicker the
drop losts color. The drop may turn
white near the upper end of the cord if
the air is very foul, or it may pass
nearly to the other end before the
change takes place, such graduations
able'' and s'pure'' being marked on q
scale for the guidance of the observer.
An electric furnace for the reduction

A stet In the Angelier Case.

A stet was entered by States Attor-
ney Duffy Monday in the case OF
Mrs. Matte V. Angelier and her hus-
band, Frank p. Angelier, charged with
the murder of Charles F. Parker, a
salesman for the Leavitt Machine
Company, of Orange, Mass.
Parker was shot in the cigar store and
pool room of the Angelier's, 1425 North
Charles street, on the 18th of last Jan
uary and died two hours later at the
City Hospital.
The case was tried several weeks
ago and resulted in a disagreement of
the jury, eleven being for acquittal
and one for murder in the second de-
gree. The defence was that Mrs Ange-
lier did the shooting in defence of her
honor, and that her husband knew
nothing about it.
The action of the States Attoruev
dlsposes Of the case unless new evil
dence is discovered. 1t was taken af-
ter consultation with Judge Wickes
and the written request of all the iu-
rors, who tried the case. Mr.. Duffy
said he is satisfied, IN view of the re-
suit of the trial, that he could not Sc
cure conviction upon the evidence
then presented.

THE Baltimore Herald, in speaking
of the Republican Convention, says:
Col. John G. Motter, of Frederick
popularity known as the "Buzz-saw of
Western Maryland Republican Poll
tics-would not have been happy had
he allowed the convention work to pro-
coed unruffied Before the Committee
on Resolutions was appointed he tried
to offer an iron clad McKinlev-instruc-
tiou resolution. He was held in check
with difficulty until the committee had
been named-then he came to the
front again and would not he suppress
ed until he had gotten his resolution
read to the convention. 1t was at
once referred TO the committee. A
Warfieid Monroe followed with his
milder Mckinley Endorsement - one
which commended the Ohio leader
but did not bind the delegates to vote
for him. 1t was altogether too mild
for Colonel Motter, who shouted:
"That's only soft soapw
The Monroe document also went to
the committee.
When the latter body got together,
both the Motter and Monroe papers

was taken against them by Speaker
Mudd and Mr. Oler who insisted that
anything like instructions would be
ill-advised. Mr.. Mudd moved as
substitute to both resolutions that the

unpledged. His motion was carried
by vote of 20 to 5. The five nays
were zsMr. Monroe, of Baltimore; and
the committee men from Talbot,
Howard, Montgomery and Washing
ington Counties.
The platform reported and adopted
was written by Wesley M. Oler who
was specially anxious that there
should be no uncertainty as to the po-
sition of the party in Maryland in ia
vor of sound money. When the plat
form came before the convention for
action, Colonel Motter had disappear
ed, and the fight which he had began
was taken up by Hammond Urner.

commended that both delegations be
admitted with half votes each, his in
dignation knew no bonds. He declar-
ed that he would never vote again if
his delegation was to be subjected to
such an outrage. The convention.
however, failed to respond to his ear

get his delegates together he retired

Ii has been observed in Germany
that lightning often passes harmlessly
through the ore and molten iron OF
blast furnaces to the earth, instead OF
being attracted to the lightning con-

ductor to and through the furnace
charge than is afforded by the rod out

The liquefaction of gases is now a
simple mechanical process. In re-
cent demonstration in London, Dr.
Hampson used an apparatus, % inches
high by in diameter, comprising
three concentric coils of copper pipe
separated by spaces packed with wool.
The gas, cooled only by water, was
forced into the. tube at pressure
Of ITO atmospheres. 1t passed down
the outer coil, up to the intermediate
coil and down tie central to "a nozzle,
from which it issued into the contain
ing vessel of the apparatus as fine jet,
and expanded nearly to the atmos-
pheric pressure, its temperature being
lowered according to well known
principle. The gas thus cooled escap-
ed backward, being obliged to follow
the coils of copper tube by the spiral
convolutions between them until it
reached the point of final escape at the
top of its vessel. In it's course it ab-
sorbed heat from the heat in the coils
The entering gas was thus expanded
at still lower temperature, and
at u still greater reduction of heat in
the coils was affected, until at last the
temperature reached the liquefying
point of the gas-1S0 GO below zero
in the case of oxygen-When consid-
cradle proportion was condensed. The
liquid oxygen was caught in a glass
tube at the rate of about an ounce in a
quarter of an hour. The expanded gas
is not lost, but is conducted back to the
COMPRISING reservoir.
In an investigation of copper and
zinc allows, NJ. G. Charpy has tested Is
different mixtures in various ways.
After annealiDg, it was found that the
physical properties varied quite regu-
larry with the proportion of zine, the
rigidity of the alloy increasing with
increase of this metal to As per cent.
and the maximum toughness being
reached with zinc at 35 per cent.

The influence of the direction in
