We find no occasion TO eriticise, and
some difficulty in selecting for special
mention, when all was so excellent. But
we think that next to the OVERTURE from
Wagner's TANSnArsRR, perhaps the finest
classical composition ever presented TO
Lambertyille audience, the concerted
pieces that afforded the greatest pleasure
were E2 Captain mot the every day
street baud selections from that Opera
and Nazareth, by the great French com
poser, Gounod This last exquisite pro-
duction-which is indeed u sacred song,
combining strains Of tender religious mel
ody with strong rich harmonies OF the
opera, well illustrated the varied talent OF
that artist, whose "early passion was for
sacred music and his best known work,
the opera Faust. The Nazareth" had
appropriate expression in the trombone
solo by Mr.. Phillips, with the powerful
accompaniment of full orchestra, organ
and piano.
The demand for admission 80 far ex-
ceeded expectations, that it became ne
cessary to stop the sale of tickets at the
door long before o'clock. All who had
purchased in advance were admitted, and
every available inch of space, even to

was announced from the stage that any

In This State It LOses its Rensrkable Chemical
Activity.
Special Cable Dsspatch to the suH.
LONDON, June 1.-The distinguished chemist,
Prot. James Dowar. has succeeded In lquefying
auorine gas at q temperature Of 1856 csnti-
grade. The product was . yellow, mobile liquid,
which had lost chemical activity.
Tho gaseous body known as fluorine has long
bafhed the efforts of chemists to investigate It
in a satisfactory manner because its chemical
afinities are so numerous and acute that when
driven from one combination It has instantly
combined with any other substance with which
1t has come in contact. and hence 1t has been i'm
possible to investigate 1t in an isolated state.
1t has been regarded as an elementary sub
stance. but owing to this difficulty Of investi-
eating its qualities there has been some uncer-
tainty as to its elementary nature.
1t Is found In the teeth and bones Of animals,
in sea and some mineral waters. and in phos-
pilates and other minerals. Whatever other
significance Prot. Dewar's discovery may have,
1t would seem that the fact that the liquehed
gas loses its activity would obviate tho difficulty
thus far encountered in studying the substance.
