a few OF the most interesting OF the
experiments illustrating the qualities
Of this extraordinary fluid.
First, pour a quantity into BASIN
Thrust your hand into It, No, am not
Joking. You can touch it with perfect
impunity, provided you withdraw your
hand instantly; you will only expert
ence a slight sensation Of GOODNESS. In
precisely the same way you might
plunge your finger for the fraction of a
second into pot Of molten metal with
out harm, provided the fingers were
moist. In both cases the reason is
the same: thin cushion Of vapor is
formed next the flesh, which for a mo-
ment encases and protects IL like a
glove-only here the vapor Is air, and
the heat that liberates 1t comes from
your finger. But don't be too DELHI
crate in your movements, for pause
would mean frostbite at least have
received some severe burns" in con-
sequence OF treating liquefed air with
undue familiarity, and such injuries
heal very slowly.
You Will observe that your hand re-
mains perfectly dry; the liquid does not
adhere to 1t. This is as fortunate as
II Is interpretation If 1t wet your flesh
as water does the slightest contact
would be disastrous. If throw a small
portion upon your coat sleeve. the
cloth is not moistened, but II becomes
so chilled that It is white with frost.
An oyster dipped for moment in a
bowl OF the liquid becomes as cold az II
1t had remained in the refrigerator for
hours. This makes very pretty din
ner table experiment; but II you leave
the toothsome morsel too long II be-
comes as hard as the she'll from which
II was extracted. Raw beefsteak may
: be frozen until It rings. when struck.
, like a piece OF bell metal. While in
this condition II may be broken into
fragments with hammer and pounded
into powder. Butter. similarly treat
Cd, may be reduced to a fine, dry dust:

The confined liquid has behaved ex7
actly as water would act In tube
heated white hot.
Here the action Is purely mechani.
cal, but by taking advantage OF the In
tense chemical activity of oxygen, ex-
plosions Of far greater violence may
be obtained. To illustrate this, I sat
urate in the azure-tinted liquid a wad
OF oily cotton waste, and place It in a
steel tube OF great strength, open at
both ends. When spark is applied
which must be done from a safe dis
tance-the tube is rent In fragments.
II the wad were first wet with turpen-
tine, the explosive force would exceed
that OF gun cotton.

Woman's Summer Outfit.

Only low shoes look we'll in summer,
and OF these there should be a pair of
russell pigskins, pair Of heavy calf
skins, pair OF patent feathers to wear
with the trimmed hats to church, etc.,
and pumps for evening wear, to COM
plete the necessary stock in trade. A
dozen shirt waists are absolutely nec-
essary, and half a dozen more are de-
sirable. Those of last year look decid-
eddy old-fashioned. Stocks are better
for the neck than stiff collars, as the
former are supposed not to be starched
and they are more comfortable for rid
ing and golf. A dozen collars and q
dozen stocks, then, for neckwear, with
a variety of ties. The best summer
gloves for outing purposes are the
white wash channels. A dozen pairs OF
these would last the whole summer II
properly washed and cared for. Pale
shades in suede for church, and pique
for evening look the best. A golf
cape, macintosh and a well-made
packet are about all that are really
necessary in the way OF wrappers, al
though pretty cape for cool evenings
on the veranda and a long cloak 10
cover up dance frock are also dr cir {.
abley-New York Trtbsine.

than his country's national airs, and
no true American can hear the stirring
music and words of the "Star Span
gled Banner" without a quickening Of
the pulse and fresh impulse to 10y
atty. 1t was Fitz-Greene Halleck WAC
said: "A little we'll written, is immor-
tally" This being true, the authors
of some of the songs Of the war are
sure to be immortalized, for they have
given to the nation, in some instances,
single beautiful song and then have
sung no more. Had the author of "Sher-
mans March to the Sea" laid down his
pen after writing that famous and no
BILE song he would have deserved q
place in the hearts of his countrymen
and in the annals of fame. 1t was writ
ten, as all old soldiers know, by Maj.
S. Fl. NJ. Byers, of Iowa, while pris-
oner Of war.
1t Is interesting to hear Maj. Byers
tell just how and where he wrote a
song that was sung over and over
again by camp fires and by firesides.

MASONIC MUTUAL BENEFIT AS-
 SOCJATTON

The Masonic Mutual Benefit associa- tion at special meeting to be held July IS will act upon an important proposed amendment of the bylaws. One prop osition is to do away with the $S,00O class. Under the present by-laws there are two classes-A, paying s1,000, and B, paying $2,000 The by-laws provide that member may take both classes and thus be insured for $3,0O0. A prop osition is to do away with the $S,000 insurance and having three classes, one, two and three, paying St,000, $1,500 and s2,O00, no member to take more than one class.
 Several other plans are to be consid- cred. One member proposes that a member between the age of 45 and 50 should only be allowed to take the smallest amount of insurance allowed. He believes such a provision is entirely fair to the other members. The special meeting will be an important one, as quite a number of changes are likely to be enacted.
 The association has just reinstated seven members and elected nine new members and voted to lay an assess ment of $2,009 on the death of Captain William French of this city and $3,00C on the death of Captain H. Vesper of West Haven.

COUNTERFEIT s1O NOTE.

Users of $10 notes are cautioned against the appearance of new coun- terfeit, which has recently obtained cir culation. The numbering is said to be of fairly good color, but out of align ment, and the figures are poorly form ed. The white outlines of the photo graphed original numbers can be dis cerned beneath the counterfeit. The back of the note is of good general ap- pearance, but the lathe work is rather indistinct. The silk threads used are too heavy and are not well distribut- ed, but the note is well calculated to deceive one not an expert.

EIGHTH AMERICAN WHIST CON-
 GRHSS

Boston, July 12.-The first session of the eighth American Whist congress was held in the Hotel Vendome to-day. Delegates from all the clubs in the league were present. The principal business after the roll call, which show ed few absentees, was the adoption of the report of the committee on system of play. The committee-George W. Kohn (chairman), E. A. Burlington and H. s. Stevens-recommen the long suit system, after the most scientific, as it is productive of the highest in tellectual pleasure and is the most sue cessful in respect to trick-making. The committee also recommended that this system be initiated and carried forward by the use of the number, showing leads. the second, third and fourth hand plays, the conventional discards and signals, all of which together con- stitute what is commonly known as the system of American leads.

NEW GRADE FOR LONG HILL.

The cutting down and grading of Long Hill road in Westville, leading from the end of Fountain street over into the town of Woodbridge, is a vast improvement, The grade of this hill has been very steep, amounting in some places to 15 per cent. The top of the hill has been cut down about six feet and raise of six feet has been made for short distance at the bottom. The steepest part of the new grade will be about 10 per cent. The contract for grading provides that the cost shall be equally divided between the city and the town of Woodbridge.

pass for the same. Attorney John K. Beach represented Captain Hull,
 Lawyer o'Nein contended that this regulation did not refer to men who had been improperly enlisted, and claimed that the young men were not properly enlisted. They were, he said, members of the army in fact, but not in law. Judge Roraback quashed the suit for lack of jurisdiction.
 On leaving the court Captain Hull signifed his willingness to indorse an application direct to the adiutant gen. eral for Driscolls discharge, If this is not granted Attorney O'Neill will bring action before Judge Shipman in the United States court.
 The text of Judge Roraback's opinion is as follows: Tt was perfectly proper for the upper court to make application in writing to this court to ascertain by what authority this minor was held by the party therein named. Such appli- cation was made, the writ issued and served on the party claimed to have the custody of the alleged minor. The custodian of said person has made re- turn to this court as to the authority under which he holds this party and has exhibited to the court the papers evidencing this authority. By this re- turn this person is appraised that this person is in custody under the author ity of the United States; that he is held by an officer of the United States As understand the law, this court has no power beyond ascertaining that the officer holds this recruit by color of au- thority from the United States. The question whether such authority is val i'd cannot be examined by this court, but is within the exclusive Jurisdiction of the tribunals of the United States.
