j. w. Mallet, professor of chemistry
In the University of Virginia, in a COM
munication to the current number Of
the Scientific American, says with ref
erence to cigarettes Of American man
ufacture:
Ignorance of easily ascertainable
scientific facts is, however, common
enough. as is often illustrated by the
brown, oily material formed in the
smoking Of tobacco being pointed out
as nicotine, though in reality this Is
merely the tar produced by the action
OF heat on the woody fiber of the leaf.
Nicotine when pure is a colorless
fluid Of somewhat oily consistence and
strong, peculiar, penetrating odor, but
1t darkens on exposure to air and light,
becoming first yellow and then brown.
so that 1t looks, in this darkened con-
dition, something like the tarry matter
which soils a smokers fingers or q
handkerchief through which tobacco
smoke Is exhaled, or Is often noticed
as deposited in the stem of a pipe.
This tarry deposit has nothing es-
sential in common with nicotine, and
contains but traces of this alkaloid.
when any at all.
A part, but only a small part (about
one-seventh in the experiments Of
Melsens), Of the real nicotine of to-
bacco, Is volatilized without decompo-
sition; the remainder is burned and
destroyed in the process Of smoking"
The simple facts are, that such cigar
cites as have examined, representing
a large part Of those in general use
throughout the United States, are
made from pure, light-yellow tobacco

special soils, prominently in certain OF

the adjacent portion of North Carolina,

which it has been asserted are present

The Spanish Fleet, 1t Is Thought In Va
lencia, VIII Not Wait for Sampson.
VALENCIA, Spain, May 23.-Official
dispatches from Santiago de Cuba an
nounce the safe arrival there of the
Spanish squadron under the command
of Admiral Cervera. Naval authori-
ties in Madrid are of the opinion that
there is no fear of attack being
made upon the squadron in the bay of
Santiago, which is well protected by
forts and defensive works, armed with
powerful artillery. AS the Spanish
admiral's principal object in entering
Santiago must have been to commune
cate with his government and to take
on coal and provisions, it is extremely
probable that he will have sailed again
before the American fleets can arrive
to blockade him.
Public and technical opinion is unan-
imous here in advising the government
to send the reserve squadron with a
strong contingent of troops and artil-
lery to Manila at once. Everyone in
sists that revenge should be sought off
Manila itself and that Admiral Dew
ey's squadron there could be annihi-
lated long before effective reinforce
ments could reach and save him.
There is no disputing the fact that
the most popular thing that could be
done at the present moment would be
the lifting of the blockade of Manila,
the recapture of Cavite and the sensa-
tional destruction of Dewey's forces,
even though Cuba should be lost later
as a consequence.

Especially to be commended is the

A SCHOOL GIRLS BATTLE.

Miss Emma Rybolt, a prepossessing school
girl of Milford, Ind, Is Of more than usual
Intelligence, and is ambitious to rise In the
sin the fall of 1885," said Mrs. Rybolt,
emma was taken i'll. She wvs a close
student and her work began to tell on her.
She grew weak, pale and nervous, and COM
planned of pains in her back, chest and
limbs. A few weeks passed and she grew
worse. The doctor said she was victim Of
nervous prostration, and should have been
taken from school weeks earlier. She
gradually grew worse, her nerves were so
tense that the least noise irritated her, and
she had fever and continual twitching
in her muscles. The symptoms were much
like st. Vitus dance.

FRIENDS FAR AWAY.

Count not the hours while their silent wings
 Thus wait them in fairy flight; For feeling, warm from her dearest springs, Shall hallow the scene tonight And while the music of joy is here, And the colors of life are gay, Let us think on those that have loved
 us dear. The friends who are far away. Few are the hearts that have proved
 the truth Of their early affections VOW; And let tNose few, the beloved of
 youth,
 Be dear in their absence now. o, vividly in their faithful breast Shall the gleam Of remembrance
 play, Like the lingering light of the crimson
 west,
 When the sunbeam hath passed
 away! soft be the slep of their pleasant May the way they travel be strewed
 with flowers, Till it bring them in safety home! And when we whose hearts are OCT
 flowing thus Ourselves may be doomed to stray, May some kind prison rise for us, When we shall be far away!
