"FATIMA." d"
Phil IL, GIover's Great Painting in
Washington.

The painting. "Fatima." on exhibition
at 14l1 Pennsylvania Avenue, is creating
a great deal of interest among art critics
in this city. The painting is the produc-
tion Of the eminent artist, Phil. Is.
Glover. Mr.. Glover has painted portraits
of President Mckinley. the late Allen
G. Thurman, and other distinguished
men. He is distinctively an American
which at this time makes his work
doubly valuable and interesting TO the
people Of this country.
"Fatima" is a nude figure of a beauti-
full woman reclining upon a couch. The
figure is perfectly drawn and the color
ing applied so skillfully that it stands out
from its surroundings like thing of life
There is no suggestion about the picture
that can in any way appeal to or EN-
barrass the most delicate sensibility. IT
is simply a work of art, pure and admir-
able, that has drawn the attention of
thousands of the most respectable and
fa4hionable people wherever il has been
shown. The picture is valued at $4,000

WaShlnSton, ID. <.
GENTLEMEN: | want to add my
testimony in behalf of the Pillow
Inhaler. Ten years ago I pur-
chased one in Philadelphia. At
that time I was suffering with what
the doctors called chronic catarrh,
and had tried nearly every catarrh
remedy on the market. None
gave me relief. After a few weeks
trial of the Pillow-Inhaler, | be-
came much better, and after a few
months my catarrh had left me
and has never returned. 1t has
been used by different ones in my
family for the relief of colds and
coughs, has always been effective,
and | would not be without one in
my house. 1t has given me pleas
ure to recommend it TO many, some
of whom ! have known to pur-
chase the Pillow and who spoke
highly i'll its favor.
Yours truly,

a very funny thing happened to Mr.
L. II. Sothern while he was playing An
Enemy to the King mere last year. There
is a scene in the last act Of the drama
wherein the ac.or settles accounts with
himself and his foes in a desperate sword
fight. Tie furniture is wrecked in the
struggle and an excellent effect secured
when Sothern i driven TO the wall, slips
and, grabbing at the Dortieres 20 save
himself, pulls them from their hangings
ON the last night of An Enemy to the
King" some mistake was made in pin
ming the curtains to ,he pole whereoh
they swung. The battle took place and
the player was driven back according 10
the program. but to his dsmay the
widest tUgging would not bring down the
curtains. Finally, seeing the audience
smiling. he gave a hearty pull The brass
rings that held the pole bent and down
came the heavy rod directly upon the

says the opponent that evening simply
had 10 do nothing and allow himself to be
killed, and. after the performance, the
property man had to leave half hour

CASES OF THE ATMOSPHERE.
xenon Has Been Added to Argon, Neon and MetarEon by Prof.
 Rnmsay.

Prof. Ramsay, the great English chemist, recently demonstrated be- fore the British Association for the Advancement of Science in Bristol, England, the presence of new gas named "xenon" in the atmosphere. In making his demonstration he said:
 "The last fractions of liquefied arr gon show the presence of three new gases. These are krypton, gas first separated from atmospheric air and characterized by two very brilliant lines, one in the yellow and one in the green, besides fainter lines in the red and orange; metargon, gas which shows spectrum very closely resem- bling that of carbon monoxide, but characte by it's inertness, for it is not changed by sparkling with oxy- gen in presence of caustic potash; and still heavier gas, which we have not hitherto described, which we propose to name 'xenon.' Xenon is very easily separated, for it possesses a much higher boiling point and remains be- hind after the others have evapora. ed. This gas, which has been obtained practically free from krypton, argon and metargon. possesses a spectrum analogous in character to that of ar gon, but differing entirtly in the posi- tion of the lines. With the ordinary discharge the gas shows three lines in the red and about five very brilliant lines in the blue; while with the jar and spark-gap these lines disappear and are replaced by four brilliant lines in the green, intermediate in position between the two groups of argon lines, the glow in the tube changing from blue .e green. Xenon appears te ex- ist only in very minute quantity.
 "Indeed, all of these gases are pres ent only in small amount. It is, how ever, not possible to state with any degree of accuracy in what propor- ton they are present in atmospheric Argon. Of neon, perhaps, we may say that the last fraction of the lightest hundred cubic centimeters from 1S liters of atmospheric argon no longer shows the neon spectrum, and pos sesses the density of argon; it may be safe to conclude, therefore, that 18 liters of argon do not contain more than 50 cubic centimete ters of neon; the proportion of neon in the air must therefore be about one part in 10000. We should estimate the proportion of the heavy gases at even less."-Phila- delphia Press.

Iconocia.m in Edinbureh.

The authorities of Edinburgh, Scot land, are disposed to be iconoclastic. The old house in High street where Allan Ramsey lived has been demol- ished in order to- effect improvements and other old buildings in which the national covenant was signed in 163S, will also be pulled down. The much visited house of John Knox is, it is said, claiming the attention of the au- thorities, who regard it as an obstruc- ton to the street traffic, while the Iron church, long associated with the bac- chanalian observance of Hogmanay by Edinburgh citizens, will most likely have to be sacrificed.

The eight shafts now in ex- istence are from POT to 9s5 feet deep, and the length of the levels now open is 345,o00 feet, with 115,500 feet of un- derground tram lines. Between 1772 and 1892 about 3,000,00o cubic yards have been excayated for the extraction of salt. Machine drills are now used and compressed powder is employed in blasting; about 1,1s7 pounds of pow der are used per ton of salt produced. The present levels are "A feet high by 6L feet wide,
