Spontaneous Ignition.

AS is well known. q frequent source
Of "unaccountable" fires turns out to
be, in reality. the spontaneous ignition
OF various materials more or less satu-
rated with oils OF fats. The following
is considered a reliable list of common
materials Of the class which, when con-
tanning oily matters. will, under favor
able conditions. oftentimes ignite nat.
ural!y: Waste. tow, rags, sawdust,
shavings, cotton and wooden cloth,
roofing felt and. in fact, all porous com
bustible bodies containing any oily OF
resinous substance having an affinity
for oxygen. All vegetable and animal
oils have more or less affinity for
oxygen, while those produced from the
distillation Of petroleum and shale are
practically Enacted upon by the ele-
ment But the oils which oxidizc in the
air most rapidly are the vegetable oils,
such as liuseed. hempseed. poppy oil,
etc. Briefly, by far the most frequent
sources of fires from spontaneous COM
bustion are those which result from
heat induced by the absorption of at
mospheric oxygen.

1t was the first afternoon of the club

objects in life came into the room with
the light Of noble resolve clarifying
her countenance.

girl had flown Off in indignation, and
she was decidedly meek and crestfallen
when next the club members met

Now I'm going to flatter everybody.
I've had enough Of plain speaking to
last me lifetime. Last Monday I told
mamma she was getting crows feet

wasn't. Next day Mamie asked me how
old thought she looked, and told her

I considered her awfully careless with

anger, with my new dress half done
and not a soul among us who knows
how to finish it. Other dressmakers
won't, you know, SO what shall do?
"That's the way things have gone
all week. Now I'm going to say love-
ly things on principle again, whether
they re true or not. You girls do look
perfectly stunning" she continued
sweetly as her listeners sighed sympa-
thetically. II do think we have the
prettiest set Of girls in the city in our

And then she wondered that they
didn't really seem grateful for the COM
pliment. "They acted just as If they

IMPROVEMENTS IN PISTOLS
They Have Lowered In Price and In.
creased In Reliability,

they Have Lowered In Price and In
creased In Reliability.
"There has been more progress made
in the revolver trade in the past ten
years." explained q Connecticut revolv-
er manufacturer to q Washington Star
reporter, "than in any other line of
trade that know of. There was q
time when even the old fashioned sin.
gle barreled pistol could not be manu-
featured to sell for less than 81, or even
more. That time has gone, and the sim
gle barreled pistol is a thing Of the past.
In its place came the revolver, which
is now made in all sizes, from vest
pocket revolver to that which is carried
IN holster. The prices have kept on
going down rs tho revolvers have i'm
proved in manufacture, SO that now q
perfect working and reliable revolver
can be bought at retail as low as 81,
and even the best makes for Sc or So.
1.-The self cooking and hammerless
revolver, which five years ago sold at
retail at $40 and S12, can now be
bought by the carload as low as 50 or
50, and the better goods at from 81 to
Sc. In these arms the best steel is used
The German revolver, WHICH was the
only one which ever seriousl y competed
with those Of American make, has about
run out its race and is never offered
any more except in country stores,
where it is bought by boys. It is clum-
sler made and heavier than the Ameri-
can revolver and no more compares
with the latter than than does the Eng
lish line Of revolvers, which at one
time were very freely sold in this coun-
try. Likewise the American rifle and
shotgun have outdistanced all other
makes. though the German cheap shot
guns still find good market with those
who do not care to put much money in
a gun. The American dou ole barreled
shotgun, which sells at retail for about
$12, is much cheaper gun in the long
run than the German make, which sells
at from So to Sc. as all of those who
have had experience with them discov-
cred long ago."

THE FUNCTION OF ETHER
Without 1t There Would Be No Light
Radiant Heat or Magnetism.


Radiant Heat or Magnetism,
Whatever difficulties we may have
in forming consistent idea Of the con-
stltutlon Of the ether, there can be no
doubt that the interplane:ary and inter-
stellar spaces are rot empty, but are &C.
cupied by material substance or body
which is certainly the largest and prob
ably the most uniform body of which
We have any knowledge"
Such was the verdict pronounced
some 20 years ago by James Clerk
Maxwell, che of the very greatest of
nineteenth century physicists, regard
ing the existence of an all pervading
plenun III the universe in which eyery
particle OF tangible matter is immersed.
And this verdict may be said to express
the attitude of the entire philosophical
world OF our day Without exception
the authoritative physicists of our time
accept this plenum as a verify and rea-
son about IT with something of the same
confidence they manifest in speaking of
ponderable" matter or Of energy. It is
true there are those among them who
are disposed to deny that this all per-
vading p!enuu merits the name of mat
Ter, but that it is something, and o
vastly important something at that, all
are agreed. Without it, they allege, we
should know nothing of light, of radiant
heat, of electricity or magnetism. With
out it there would probably be no such
thing as Gravitation-nay, they even
hint that without this strange some
thing, ether, there would be no such
thing as matter in the universe. If these
contentious of the modern physicist are
Justified. then this intangible ether is
lncomparably the most important as
well as the Largest and most uniform
substance or body" in the universe. Its
discovery may well be locked upon as
the most important feat Of our century.
