Acetylene.

So much has been said concerning the
new substance known as acetylene In
its recently evolved form and relations
in respect to gas and allied Industries
that, taking the statement OF Prof. ".
b. Lewis as authority, the Importance
of the article may be explained as due,
briefly. TO the reduction to it by the
baking action of the flame of all the
remaining hydrocarbons present in coal
gas. 1t is the acetylene which provides
the luminiferous flame with those ear
bon particles which, being heated to in
candescence by various causes, endow
the iame with the power Of emitting
light. The gas being thus the cause Of
the gaseous hydrocarbon illuminants;
owing, however. to it's intense richness.
1t can be consumed only in small. fiat
burl-,rs. but under these conditions 1t
emits a light greater than that given by
any other known gas, its illuminating
value-calculated to a consumption oi
five cubic feet an hour-being rated al
no less than 240 candles.

A PIONEER SHOEMAKER,
WORKING At HIS TRADE ALTHOUGH EGHTTFVE YEARS old.
Mr.. James McMinen. of Champaign. Has Followed the Shoemakefs
Trade All His Life Every Day at His Bench Working with Appar-
entity the Same vigor as Young Man Sketch of His Life.
From the Gazette Champaign, III.

At the advanced age of eighty-fve years,
James McMillen, of 112 West Washington
street, is one of the most active men in Cham
paign, Illinois. Mr.. McMillen is a pioneer
citizen of the city, and his form is as familiar
on the streets as that of any citizen of the
town. All his life Mr.. McMillen has fol-
lowed the trade of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he COM
manded when he was a young man.
He has q little shop on North Wright street,
in the vicinity of the University of Illinois,
and he is the official shoemaker, as it were,
for the students of that institution.
About q year ago Mr.. McMillen was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
The local newspapers announced that he
was dangerously IL. For months he was a
sufferer, but finally he appeared again at
since then and none, perhaps, on account of
sickness. His friends were surprised to see
him out again, and they were more surprised
when he told them the cause of his recovery.
There was no small amount of local inter-
est in his case, and q reporter visited him,
to nave him relate the story.
81 feel" said the spry old gentleman,
shat I owe my life to DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Something like a
year ago it appeared to me that / was almost
q physical wreck. I was suffering from a
disease of the kidneys. A thick scurf had
formed on the bottoms of my feet and my
ankles were terribly swollen and nflamed.
In fact, they reached such a condition that |
could not walk, and it looked as though my
days were numbered.

OLDEST RACE NAME.
Distinction Belongs tn the Chinese,
or MOnROItana.

or MOnRoItans.
The population of the globe may be
said TO he primarily divided into three
and the black man. Any other race,
compared with these, is unimportant,
and may be considered a modification
of one or more of them. Anderson says
that "the yellow men have immemorial-
" occupied the great central and north
eastern plains of Eurasia, and are
therefore called Mongols OF Turan-
Chinese. For countless centuries they
far out-numbered all the rest of the
world, and even now the white men in
Asia form only n tenth of the popula-
ton. From their number, position ana
have first existed: the other two races
being derived from them by emigration,
change of climate and mode of living"
The writer then goes on to say later:
THUS the three great racial types may
have sprung from the Mongolian
stock" Rawlinson seems TO confirm
this view, and in that case the Egyptian,
for example. is not so old as the Mon
gol. The term Monaghan does not
mean, as has been supposed, that the
race originated in Mongolia, but only
that the physical characters of the race
are prominently displayed in the Mon
Colians. For this reason, therefore
this race holds to the ancient name, the
most ancient among many.

A Theory That Human Beings and All

A Theory That Human Beings and All
Life Are AggreEatjOns of Them.
NJ. Paris, who succeeded to the seat
of the great Pasteur in the French
academy, referred in his inaugural adj
dress to the interesting theory that hui
man beings and all life are aggrega-
tons of microbes, says the New York
Journal.
THE microbes" he said. "were
known before Pasteur. but the part
which they played in nature was not
the tissues Of the human body and pro-
duce infectious disease; they people
the air; they fill the water; they satu-
rate the soil; dwell in animals and
plants; they develop us. serve our pur-
poses and threaten us from all sides.
Nay, they are. perhaps, ourselves.
The life of superior beings appears to
elementary existences. Their colonies.
more and populous and differ
entiated. composed from the merest in
sect to the rose, the cedar. the eagle,
the whale, the man, the immense and
dazzling network in the meshes of
which they ceaselessly circulate, de-
stroyed and yet renewed, ever since
there has been produced and without
doubt produced by them on this globe
of ours the mysterious downing of life.
This, therefore. is what the study Of mi
crobes has revealed to amazed humani-
ty."
