The name isinglass Is supposed Dy
Edwards to be derived from corrupt
eh form of the German name or the
srurgeon, hausenblas. 1t has prooaDly
received It's English name from some
Improper association with the WORD
acing and tho French glace, Ice. The
substance itself is the dried membranes
Of certain kinds of fish. Formerly only
the air bladder Of the sturgeon was
used. but in the last few years 1t was
discovered that many other portions OF
the body of the fish yielded isinglass OF
as good quality ns the air bladder, and
now, isinglass Is procured from many
different quarters instead Of, as for
merly, solely from the Russian fisher
les Of the Baltic Sea- Istnglass Is near
" pure geletlne, the ease with which
this substance IS separated from the
membranes Of the fish constituting the
value of the material In the arts and
gctencas. The most remarkable VaHe'
~ Of isinglass comes from the mouths
Of the Amazon, resembling reddish
brown grapes growing from a thick
apparently woody, stem, this variety
being the dried eggs Of the sudis gisas

mad been commanderineMef Of the

the flght, De Cr0y took up his resi-
dence at Revel, where he died in tia
course OF events; his creditors demur'

debts were paid. So the soldier was

The London newspapers are taking
lively interest in the visit of the Brad

the lady member Of the combination
will be the future leader of London So
ciety. This prophecy IS probably IN
tended as a choice bit Of satire, but
there are abundant signs that the tinan'

| Martin fancy dress ball has gone far
to pave the way to considerable social
success for this picturesque family

OF course there Is such superiority OF
snobs already In that city that the ar
rival Of snobs Of the American variety,
even though they have attained high
degree Of snob-culture, would not be
an episode Of marked Importance. But
the Bradley Martins are not OF the or
binary snob brand and will enjoy an
unusual degree Of liberation because
Of the number of American dollars
they can be counted or to scatter about
them wherever they 60. London news
papers, therefore, should be careful
