MOnosu1phide.

In addition to his other achievements in
Che domain of chemistry, DR.. Deninger of
Dresden is now reported to have prepared
carbon monosulphide, CS pure, foc the
first time, and finds that instead Of being,
as described in the textbooks, an amor
phous red solid, it is really n oolorless gas.
He prepared it by heating dry sulphide of
sodium with chloroform, or, preferably,
iodoform, in scaled tubes, to 100 degrees
e., tho gaseous products being made to
bubble through aqueous caustio potash,
which absorbed the sulphureted hydrogen,
and tho carbon monosulphido passed
through unabsorbod. BY acting upon car
bon disnlphido with sodium, In tho pres
enoe Of como aniline the now gas was also
obtained. 1t Is colorless and easily con-
densable to clear liquid, which evapo-
yates rapidly and is extremely explosive

Boston and American Art History.

Boston alone can boast museum that
has any claim to represent American art
history, and even that representation is
feeble and inadequate. Why is it that we
can furnish heat, light and lodging for
Bouguereau and Vibort. while no one
cares to take Gilbert Stuart and his con-
temporaries In from the doorstepp What
matter that West and Copley were imma-
ture painters! So were Cimabue and Ho-
garth and Reno OF Anjou. Some one had
to make beginning, and West and Cop
10y were beginners of whom we have no
reason to be ashamed. At any ratio they
were our own, ond IL our improvement in
art has been rapid since their time all tho
moro reason why we should preserve the

One day, year ago last summer, Captain
Murray, hor skipper, heard q great buzz
Ing In tho air, and looking up no saw
cloud of bees making directly toward him.
Being unused to such apparitions he ran
into the cabin and awaited Developments
The beos lighted on the port rail, noar the
gaDgway, forming u bunch which ap-
peared to the captains eye to be bigger
than peck measure. Before tho captain
know what had become of them they dis
appeared from sight, and then he found
that they had gone through a hole and
made Themselves at homo in the side of
the vessel
The captain and crew soon became used
to tho company Of tho bees, and thought
nothing Of having dozen of them buzz
ing around their heads at once, for bees
seldom sting unless inolested. Ono day
tho vessel was ordered out to relieve tho
lightship Mt Sandy Hook, and for nearly
two months the bees were buffeted about
on the water, but they seemed to thrive
on the diet of brown sugar provided for
them by the sailors, and never became sea-
sick.
An unlucky day arrived, however, whom
bee fancyinR friond of the captain offered
to purchase tho queen of the swarm and
tried to drive her from her stronghold by
the use Of tobacco smoke. The bees re-
fused to be driven out, and denser smoke
was created with gunpowder and other
fuel. The result was that all tho bees were
suffocatcd, and they were taken out after
ward from the bottom of vessel with q
dipper.
The captain and crew mourned sincerely
for tho lossof their pots, and every sailors
heart of them shuddered secretly ut the
thought Of going to sea after they had al
lowed such manifest defiance of Proyi-
dence to occur on board their vessel Their
surprise and pleasure were therefore I'M
bounded when, few days later, another
swarm was seen in the rigging apparent
ly looking for place to alight.
"It's good luck - shouted the captain,
and this time, instead of running away,
he spread out some brown sugar on
white sheet, as he had been told by his
housekeeping friend to do in such emer-
goncies, placed soapbox on edge over the
sugar and began beating tin pan to at
tract the attention Of the bees. His efforts
were not in vain. With little persuasion
tho bees entered the box and made them
selves at home, where they remain to this
day and may be seen by any one who has
tho curiosity to visit the picturesque light
house station. The box has boon nailed
to the side of the vessel, and holes have

For centuries the north was an ice
locked land, and conditions of life had
changed. From the polo to tho southern
leo limit not one mountain projected it's
head above the unbroken snow. Even
Mount Washington was deep down under

Ages had now passed since man first
appeared IN his primeval homo. Some
progress the race had made, but man was
still a rude and untutored savage. His
crude weapons were only pieces of roughly
ohipped stone, but 1t was man with pro-
gressiye and endless mind. And rs the
years passed tho rude paleolithio ancestor
gavo place to men with q higher degree

BACK FROM THE SULPHURS.
Hon. Matt. q. Reynolds and Party Re
turned Yesterday from Hot Sui,
Dhur Springs Praises Of the
Healing Waters-Recep-
tiOn ut Bland.

| Hon. Matt. G. Reynolds, attorney for
the United States court of private land
| claims, Fage B. Otero, ex-clerk of the New
| Mexico supreme court, Abe Kimball and
Jack Dixson returned from a months out
ing at the Hot Sulphur springs yesterday
afternoon. They report having enjoyed
themselves hugely during their absence
and are enthusiastic in their praises of
the Sulphurs.
In conversation with New MEXICAN
scribe at his office in the federal building
this morning, Mr.. Reynolds unhesitating-
ly pronounced the Sulphurs probably the
most remarkable hot springs in the world
and predicted great future for them.
He says that the combination of the
water, mud and vapor baths with the
drinking of the sulphuric acid impreg-
mated hot waters is good for we'll man
and will greatly benefit nearly all classes
of invalids and work perfect cures in
obstinate cases. Plentiful proof of this
was most convincingly brought to his at
ten tion while he was at the springs.
He says that the trip can be comfort
ably made in two days from Santa Fe by
way of Bland in aspring wagon with a
team of horses, stopping over the first
night at Bland and reaching the springs
in time for supper the second evening.
He expresses himself as we'll pleased
with the reception accorded him at the
Cochiti metropolis and the appreciation
the miners there manifested of his efforts
to disspate the land grant cloud that has
80 seriously retarded the development of
the rich golden resonrcas of the district
In this connection, he added that the ap
peal of the Canada de Cochiti grant case
would unquestionably be heard by the
United States supreme court next May.
No doubt is entertained that the decree
of the court of private land claims will
then be affirmed and that the mineral
lands of the district will be made part
of the public domain.
