Two New and Wonderful Scientific Dis.

Two Now and Wonderful Scientific Dis.
Voice.
Two new developments in science
are exciting the curiosity of the
world. One is the new illuminating
gas, acetylene, that bids fair to dis
place both the ordinary gas and the
electric light. The other is the dis
covery, by Professor Rontjen, of
Wurzburg University, Austria, of
light rays that will penetrate wood,
flesh, and number Of metals and
by means of which objects enveloped
IN sach substances can be photo
graphed. AS for acetylene, it has
become 80 far established az an in
dustrial element that a number of
the big gas companies, including the
Chicago gas trust, have, it is said,
bought the right to the exclusive
use of it in their territory for a
million dollars or more apiece, and
mandatory is under way at Nj
agara which will furnish the sub.
stance from which it is made. This
substance is calcium carbid. 1t is
formed by the union of powdered
lime and crushed coke under the in
tense heat of the voltaic arc. A PAL
OF the carbon of the coke displaces
the oxygen in the lime Cor oxide of
calcium) and uniting with the cal
clum makes calcium carbid. When
water is poured on this the acetylene
gas Is immediately generated, and, if
lgnited, burns with unusual bril-
lancy. One ton of carbid, it is es-
tlmattd, will generate acetylene that
10 equivalent in light power to 264,
600 cubic feet of ordinary gas. The
cost of the carbid is about $40, that

over $lO5. The discovery of the
process was made by accident by
Professor Wilson in the little town
of Spray, N. c., while experimenting
In the manufacture of cheap alumi-
mum. Already it is said that acety-
lene gas-works are under contract
for erection in II states. What is
claimed for the acetylene light is
that it is exactly equivalent in qua,.
lty to sunlight, is more diffusible
than any other light, consumes less
oxygen than any other light, pro-
duces but one-sixth as much carbonic
acid as the ordinary gas-light, and
heats the air no more than the cleo
trio Ii ght. The gas is, moreover, por-
table in solid or liquid form, and, it

Disc0nt onted Women.
From the North American Review,

From the North American ReyieW,l
At the Chicago fair, and at other
convocations, it has been proved
that the strongest minded women,
though familiar. with platforms, and
deep in the "dismsl science" of DO
litical economy, when it came to dis
putting, were no more philosophical
than the simplest housewife. Tears
and hysteria came just as naturally to
them, as if the whole world waeged
by impulse only; yet a public meet
ing in which feeling and tears su-
perseded reason and argument.
would in no event inspire either con-
hdence or respect. Women may
cease to be women, but they can
never learn to be men, and feminine
softness and grace can never do the
work of the virile virtues of men.
Very fortunately this class of dis
contented women have not yet been
able to endanger existing conditions
by combinations analogous to trades
unions; nor is it likely they ever
will; because it is doubtful if women.
under any circumstances, could
combine at all. Certain qualities
are necessary for combination, and
these qualities are represented in
women by their opposites.
Considering DISCONTINUED women
OF all kinds individually, it is evil
dent that they must be dull women.
They see only the dull side Of things,
and naturally fall into a monotonous
way of expressing themselves. They
have also the habit of complaining,
a habit which quickens only the
lower intellect. Where is there a
more discontinued creature than a
good watch dogi He is forever look
ing for some infringement of his
rights; and an approaching step, or
q distant bark, drives him into q fury
OF protest. Disconnected women are
always cyclists; they view every
thing in regard to themselves, and
have therefore the defective sympa-
thies that belong to low organiza
tons. They never win confidence,
for their disc intent breeds distrust
and doubt, and However clever they
may naturally be, an obtrusive self,
with its train of likings and dislik-
lngs, obscurss their Judgment, and
they take false views Of people and
things. For this reason, it is al
most a hopeless effort to show them
how little people generally care
about their grievances; for they have
thought about themselves so LONG
md so much that they cannot con, |
,eive OF any other subject interest
ng the rest of the world,

Buying n Husband,

Out in Indiana an old lady of "A
offered $4,000 for a young hus-
band.
An entesnlising fellow of 26 came
forward, bat the woman's family
sued out a writ of lnnacy to prevent
her from marrying. The jury pro-
nounced her sane, and she eloped
with her purchase and married him.
The Chicago Record in comment.
Ing on the case makes the point that
a short time ago young woman in
New York wanted a husband with
title, and got him after a bic
cash sum of seversl million dollars
had been settled upon him BY her
relatives. Nobody limited that the
New York girl was insane. On the
contrary, society thought that she
had distinguished herself.
Our Chicago contemporary thinks
that it makes difference when the
purchased husband is an imported
article with title. If he ia a home
product the. woman who offers a
good price for him is supposed to be
crazy.

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE PAPER
 MILL.
 On Friday of last week at l q. m., an accident occurred at the boxshop the re- suit of which has saddened the whole community. While at work in the lower part of the mill Arthur Lewis received injuries which resulted in his death. His sleeves caught in some machinery and in trying to extricate it, the upper part of his right arm was crushed beyond all hope of savil g it. With the courage which has always characterized MT Lewis he found his way alone to the upper part of the mill, where other en- ployes were, and there in the midst of all his suffering, his first thought was of his family. He was assisted to his residence, which is near the mill, and pr Shephe called, who bound up the arm as well as possible and advised his removal to the hospital at Waterbury. He was taken there on the s 8. Dl., train accompanied by Dr Barnes and Harry Carpenter as pr Shepherd was unable to leave town that day. At the hospital the arm was am- putated at the shoulder; he seemed to en. dure the operation well, but toward night grew worse and Mrs Lewis was sent for. He died the following morning at 30 a. m. The funeral was attended from the chapel Tuesday at 1 p. m, Rev J. O.. Munson officiating. Mir Lewis leaves 8 wife and seven children, and the whole community join with them in mourning the loss of 8 father, friend, and an honorable Christian gentleman. He had been for many years member of the Methodist church and with each added year of his life, has~reneWed and inereas- ed his efforts to promote the cause of Christ and to help his fellow men to 8 higher conception of life and better understanding of Him 'swho doeth all things well, and his devotion to this cause was only paralelled by his devotion to his family.
