{ a POPULAR FALLACY..,

k4A IN Temperature OF Ocean Does Not
Indicate Presence of Ice.
il For many years an opinion existed
among seamen and others that a fall in
the seaysurface temperature implied
,nearness of ice. Nothing, says the
sNautical Magazine, can be more remote
from the truth, though shore folk still
perpetuate. this fiction in books and
newspapers. A sudden fall in sea-
surface temperature is likely near the
Agulhas, the Japanese current, the gulf
stream, while running the Fasting down
in the South Indian ocean, in the South
Atlantic about 40 degrees south, 40 de-
5grees west, and elsewhere; and this,
whether icebergs be near or hundreds
of miles away. Capt. S. T. S. Lecky, r.
n. r., to whom the nautical profession
is indebted for his Wrinkles in Prac-
teal Navigation" was probably the
first to draw the atten tibn Of his breth-
rem to this fact. In the ninth edition Of
his book he points out that ssallied to
log is the question Of danger from ice.
10 is q popular delusion among passen-
gers on board ship that, by taking the
of the water at short In
teryals, the approach to ice is unfailing-
" indicated. Unfortunately such is by
nomeans the fact, and it is time the idea
was exploded. More than ordinarily
cold water merely shows that the ship is
in a part of the ocean where ice may
possibly be encountered, and not that

An Experiment to Try.

An interesting experiment in magic
may be performed that will show it to
be 9 mistake that water will find its
level, says the Chicago Interior. Take a
glass tube and bend it in the shape of
g q. Pour it half full Of pure water, and
be sure that the pitcher from which
you pour it win only fill the bent tube
half full. That is fA effect on the OBJ
server. Now take another pitcher con-
tanning pure brine, q solution of COM
mon salt, and pour it slowly into one Of
the arms Of the tube. The water in the
other arm will rise an inch or two above
the level of the brine in the other. and
# you continue pouring twill run over,
until all the fresh water is driven out.
There now, yon have an illustration
which can be used for a number Of pur-

Prof. Ugolino Mosso, of Turin. has
made some interesting experiments on
the effects experienced in ascending to
high attitudes. All climbers of lofty
mountains are aware that at great
heights. such as the summit Of Mont
Blanc, respiration becomes more or less
troublesome. the heart beats rapidly and
sometimes irregularly. and a feeling of
exhaustion, often accompanied by
nausea, is experienced. These effects
arise largely from the rarity Of the air.

UNCLE TOMS CABIN.

Lowell Admired the Genius In 1t More
Than the Moral.
It was the opinion Of James Russell
Lowell, says Charles Dudley Warner,
in the Atlantic, that the anti-slavery
element in Uncle Tom and bred stood
in the way Of q full appreciation, at
least in her own country, OF the re-
markable genius of Mrs. Stowe. Writ
ing in 1889, he said: 'tFrom my hab-
it's and the tendency Of my studies I
cannot help looking at things purely
from an aesthetic point Of view, and
what valued ID Uncle Tom was the
genius, and not the moral This had
been his impression when he read the
book in Paris, long after the whin Of
excitement produced by its publication
had subsidized, and far removed by dis
tance from local influences. Suisse
quently, in q review, he wrote: s'We
felt then, and we believe now, that the
secret OF Mrs. Stoves power lay in that
same genius by which the great sue
cesses in creative literature have al
ways been achieved the genius that
instinctiyely goes to the organic ele-
ments Of human nature, whether under
q white skin or a black, and which dis
regards as trivial the conventions and
fictitious notions which make so large
q part both of our thinking and feel

ELECTRICITY FROM GOAL

q PROCESS Which May Revolutionixe
Methods OF Generating Power.
When we remember said a we'll:
known citizen to q Washing ton Star re-
porte, that the finest triple-expa nsion
engine on one Of the great ocean liners
only obtains about IA per cent. Of theo-
lteticalIg efficiency in burning her coal,
and that our ordinary steam engine
doeslnpt get over six or seven per cent
thers ffsom, we cannot overestimate the
recent discovery Of q process for gem
Grating the electric current direct from
coal 9r coke, and from the process, it
is claimed by it's inventor, 81 per cent.
of tha theoretical efficiency Of the coal
used las been obtained. Further, it is
claimed that the cost will be from one
fifth to one-tenth Of the present ex-
pense The process seems simple
enough, for we take quantity of coke,
reduce it to powder, and make it into
big, hound sticks Of carbon, that then
look a good deal like giant firecrackers,
or the sticks of carbon for an electric
arc light, though very much enlarged.
This stick carbon is suspended in a cyl
1indrical iron pot, containing an electro
Ilyte of melted caustic soda. And
when a current Of air, introduced by a
small tube, is driven through this solu-
zion, electrical action is set up, pro.
EEducing q current Of extraordinary vol
fume.. ,s3s
10 gain the necessary voltage, OF
electric pressure, 100 or more Of these
! iron pots may be put together and their
rims connected by, wire. The whole
plant, or, it may be called a battery
must be inclosed in an oven, to keep the
solution up to uniform temperature
Of about 400 degrees Centigrade.
"A pump to drive the air through The
solution is all the machinery that is re
|quired. No boilers, no engine, nj
dynamo, no ashes, no water, no endless
quantity of supplies are needed.
The annual expenditure for steam
power in the United States is estimated
at about $3.50, 900, 900 an equivalent, j
is said, of all the annual cost of our gen
eral government, including all improve
ments and expenditures on public
works. The new process will reduc.
this expenditure for. power to less thar
s10O, 1000, 900. Then, again, there ar.
over s., 100, 900, 900 invested in steam en-
gines alone in the United States; TIT
first cost of the new process would b,
,one-fourth of their present value, ana
thereafter they can be run for one-fftl
of their present expense. So, it il
claimed by the inventor, that upward
of three-fourths of a billion of dollars
will be saved in the first cost alone.
The expense of maintenance, or
rather, of attending the process, it is as
serted, will be very small. The carbon
cylinder will last $50 hours, or ever
more; the inclosing oven has a self
feeding attachment, and the attention
required will be no more than an orldi
nary small steam-heating house ar

THOUGHT HE WAS LUCKEY.

Quite a commotion was created among
the loafers of Yorkville last Saturday
morning by story to the effect that Dan
Luckey, of Blacksburg, had surrendered
himself to the sheriff. Deputy Scoggins
happened to be at the depot when the o.
R. & g. train arrived from Blacksburg.
Among the passengers was trim, gentle
manly young man, who, after few words
of conversation that the bystanders could
not catch, joined Deputy Scoggins and
started up town. Presently one of the
loafers overheard, or thought he over
heard, the young man remark: "Don't
walk so close to me: don't want these
people to think you are taking me to jail. "
The crowd Immediately settled upon it as
fact that the young man was Luckey'
and quickly the news spread over the
town. After the joke had gone far
enough, Sheriff Crawford gave it away,
and it developed that the young man in
the case was Mr.. Henry w. Thomson, OF
Hickory Grove. He had seen the situa-
ton shortly after he got off the train, and
being well acquaintedwith Mr.. Scoggins,
humored the joke to the fullest extent.
After the sheriff explained, however, all
the loafers "had known it all the time."

soldiers in this section of the county, are
earnestly requested to meet here on Satur-

cherishes the memory ofthe Lost cause"
in his heart, should welcome this oppor-

that will perpetuate the valor and heroism
of the Confederate soldier, the justice of
the Confederate cause, and the truth OF

to be present and it is sincerely hoped
that there will be general muster of the
