Some valuable experiments. made 20 determine the
chemical composition OF that fatal element, nre-
damp. are reported by NJ. Chatelier. in the Annaiss
des Mnes. In the samples examined the incom.
bustiblO parts varied from 81 Per cent to A4.4 per
cent. In volume. and contained 0 to 4 per cent. OF car
bonic Goid, o TO 90 per cent. OF oxygen. and of nitro
gen e.e to 89.s per cent. Nitrogen was invariably
present in quantities varying from o.7% to a. much ~
30 per oens.. and in all cases the nitrog, n was found
to contain argon varying in proportions from a. low
as 0.74 per cent. 70 as much as 8.2s per cent. OF tho
total amount OF nitrogen and arson together. As tho
result OF these various eIperiments-probably tho
most careful and accurate yet made in this line OF In
quiry-the conclusion is regarded as legitimate that
not only Is tho Rrgon in nredamp not derived from
the cosi, but is only probably present in fossil air Of
tho carboniferous period; in this case being either
absorbed directly or carried IN by water. In which
argon is moro soluble than nitrogen. and which
would account for its being generally present in

by the mathematicians that a ball

But, when we come to make COM

Mr.. Maclay leaves a wife and two
children a boy, Edgar G.. Maclay Jr. and
a girl, Theodore ]. Maclay. The funeral
took place on Wednesday in Great Falls
at the family residence on Second ave.
Rev. WATSON officiating.
Edgar G. Maclay was born in West
moreland county, Pennsylvania, August
rs, 1874. He came to this state from
st. Louis locating at Virginia city in
1868 where he was engaged in the gen.
eral merchandising business. In 1866
he went to Helena going in business
with G. A. Broadwater and sold out in
1881. He then went in business at Fort
Benton under the style of Murphy, Mac
lay & Co. Noticing the rapid growth
of Great Falls the firm in 1887 moved
to that city. While in Great Falls he
became interested in the Great Falls
National bank and held the position of
vice president of that institution up to
the time of his death.
To E. G. Maclay, Ira Myers and 9TH
ers who bonded the Moulton mine at
this place in 1890 is ascribed the great
impetus this camp got so early in its
history. They it was who interested G.
D. Mcclure and other leading silver
mining men of Montana to take hold of
the property and organize what is now
the Diamond r Mining Co. Opera
tions were commenced in 1891 on a
large scale A shaft house was built,
and hosting machinery capable of sink
ing a thousand feet or more was put in
place, and a shaft was sunk to a depth
of 500 feet in a short time. On account
of the development of this mine the
possibilities of the camp was revealed
and capitol flowed into Neihart causing
a rapid development of the camp.
Work however on this property ceased
in 1898 at the time of the panic, and
since then the people of Neihart were
hoping soon to see the mine start up.
These hopes seemed soon to be realized
on the return of Mr.. Maclay from st.
Louis. The loss of Mr.. Maclay is mourn
ed by the entire state and Neihart con-
tributes her share Of homage to his
blessed memory, and extends to his
family the kindest sympathy in this
sad hour of affection.

A few weeks ago he departed from

And then, Jim, there was Tennyson.
He said of heroine in one of his poems
that she was "gowned in pure white. .
So you see Lord Tennyson found the

A Natural Magnet.

Professor Smythe was once featuring
in provincial town on natural philos-
ophy, and in the course of his expert
ments he introduced most powerful
magnet, with which he attracted a
block of iron from distance of two
feet.
"Can any of you conceive greater
attractive power?" demanded the lee
turer, with an air of triumph.

audience
"Not natural terrestrial object?"

The lecturer, somewhat puzzled,
challenged the man who had spoken to
name the article. Then up rose old
Johnny Sowerby. Said he:
81 will give you facts, professor, and
you can judge for yourself. When was

Cropping Them Prevents the Animals
From Hearing Well.
Any one who has heard the mega
phone must have wondered at the ex-
traordinary power Of increasing sound
that is produced by form, and would
like to call attention to one point in
connection with cutting dogs ears that
do not remember to have seen men,
toned anywhere - that is, from an
acoustic standpoint:
have lately purchased small York
shire terrier, imported from England
only few months ago. It's ears were
clipped in England after what the seller
of the dog declared to be "the very lat
est style.
The ears were first clipped and then
stiffened up with three effects on the
dog:
First. That the buzz of bee or fly
causes him to retreat under cover OF
safety.
Second. THAT he ducks his head
when about to be patted, sure sign of
the length of time the pain of the oper-
alton must have lasted.
S Third. An effect had not expect
ed.) That he has absolutely no idea OF
the direction of sound.
In the ears of mastif dog any one
who observes the shell like form of the
ear opening may easily imagine the i'm
m ense power of such a trumpetlike in
strument to increase the volume OF
sound. A change in the acoustical ar
rangement of the flap of the ear would
necessarily entirely puzzle and bewilder
the owner as to the direction of sound,
and this one point on ear cutting would
seem Of itself to condemn the practice.
