The superintendent of the gas works
at Cracow, Austria, has proposed a
new method designed to prevent the
freezing of gas pipes. According to
this plan there is employed a brass
cylinder, soldered upon the gas main
and containing a basket of chloride of
lime. The gas on passing through the
basket causes the chloride to deliquesce
and fall to the bottom of the box and
there to liquefy, the liquid being drawn
off from time to time and the chloride
revivified by heating in furnace to
drive off the water. When the chloride
begins to deliquesce it's ability to alb
sorb water is not SO great as when dry,
but remains considerable still. What
ever the drawbacks to success involved
in this method, it is admitted that, by
means of some of the processes of
manufacture now in vogue, chloride of
lime is no longer very expensive and
might come within the scope Of this
application: at any rate, it is acknowl-
edged that the removal of water from
gas would have the effect of increasing
it's lighting and heating power and
largely preventing rusting and BURST
ing of the pipes during freezing wealth?

Many people think that Mr.. Glad
stone was meek and mild. 1t may be
questioned If he knew what fear was,
says the Spectator. Attack, whether
from opponent or from mob, had no eff
feet on him except to call into his eyes
a menacing CLINT which daunted very
bold ruff1ans-the writer was within a
yard of him once in crowd which
seemed to want his life-and very
proud men, and the fearlessness ex-
tended to International affairs He
was, in truth, haughtily fearless man,
ready to face France, or Mr.. Disraeli,
or a mob, or, we must add, recalcitrant
colleagues, with a boldness which had
for it's root-cause something of disdain.
Disdain, indeed, was in the very fibre
of his intellect, disdain for all that was
low, or crafty, or timid, disdain also
for all who could not see the argu-
ments he himself considered SO irresist-
ible.

Food Commissioner Blackburn of
Ohio says that -four is being adulterat-
ed with white clay. The clay costs one
cent pound, and is indigestible. Com
missioner Blackburn gives the follow
ing analysis of it: A chemical analysis
shows that 1t is silicious mineral re-
sembling tale in physical properties.
1t is insoluble even in the strongest
sulphuric acid, and is totally unfit for
the purpose for which it is made. 1t
seems to be kind Of clay, dried and
powdered very fine, and is shipped
from Greensboro, North Carolina. You
are hereby notified to be on the lookout
for -four adulterated with this sub
stance, take samples and leave them
with the nearest chemist for analysis.
The smallest per cent. of ,adulteration
with this substance can be easily de-
tected under the microscope.

HISTORIC FLAG.
In it the Assassin Booth Caught His Hee
 After Shooing Lincoln.

From the New York Press.
 Why tine government has not taken bet ter care of the silk flag which hung over President Lincolns box fin Ford's theater that Hateful April night in 1S65-the flag over which the assassin tripped, causing him to spradn his ankle-is an official enigma. All the Lincoln relics have been cared for in a special museum in Washing ton, but this flag, while in the hands of the government, was given over to the care of the treasury department No special attempt has been made to preserve the silk, and 1t is likely soon to decay and dis appear The flag has a history of it's own.
 When Jubal Early made his raid in 1864 around Washington the male employees of the treasury department organized to aid ployes could not fight, but they made a silk flag, and gave it to the treasury guard.
 Two nights before the assassination, tine treasury guard gave an entertainment fin Ford's theater, and the flag was used in the decoration of the boxes. It looks so pretty that the manager of the theater asked that 1t remain there a couple of days, as on the night of the 14th the president was to be present at the play. After the shooting Booth jumped from the box to the stage. His spur caught in the flag. and he was thrown vioaently to the floor Of tho stage The flag still has the rent in it cansed by the spun

REPRESENTATIVES,
Of New York's 400" Passed Through the
 City Yesterday

Two three milhonaires and million airesses' passed through the city yesterday in the private car of Cornelius Vanderbilt MT. Vanderbilt's daughter, Mrs. Harry Payne, and MT. Whitney were the hosts of the trip and their guests consisted of two ladies and two gentlemen. One Of the young ladies was Miss Tiffany of New York, daughter of the big jeweler of that city.
 The car was said to be one of great mag nificence and luxury. It had every con- venience which has been conceived of for the private car, and was manned by three servants; a chef and two buffers.
 The party has been travelling through Georgia, and passed through this city on their way to Kentucky, where MT. Whitney ownes a fine horse farm.
 The press dispatches day or two ago announced the fact that MT. Whitney had gone in the horse racing business and that he would put fast string of horses on the track this season. This is the object of his visit to Kentucky. MT. Whitney's stable is said to be a fine one, containing some of the fastest flyers of the Blue Grass State
 On their way to Kentucky they will stop at Hickson's Valley Tenn. They left Bir- mingham over the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad.

special to The Age-Herald.


 Washington, Feb. 15.-The committee on to consider the Underwood resolution call ing on the secretary of the navy to for ward to congress the portions of the re- ports of the board appointed to investigate as to the best place for the establishment nt of an armor plate plant. in regard to Ala bama and Tennessee, which it is claimed were left out of the reports submitted some time ago.
 The chairman of the committee, MT. Bouteqle, of Maine opposed the reso.u- tion as 1t stood. It inferred. he said, that the secretary had been derelict in his duty in not sending the informaton to congress in the first place, while he be- 1ieved that the secretary had sent all the information that was of any practical value. The democrats on the commit tee contended for the adoption of the resolu- tion as introduced while the republicans were opposed to it.
 A resolution was reported to request the secretary of the navy to forward to the house all information in regard to the Investigations of this board, as he thought of value. An amendment to specify the location of the states to which such reports should refer was voteLI down.

 But Dr. Sun is an alleged revolutionist, and even China will not tolerate such, so when the doctor returned to Hong Kong and took up his residence on the grounds of the British legation, the emperor and Lf Hung Chang went to work to get pos session of him. They succeeded, and a few days ago Dr. Sun was delivered up.
 The whole world knows the horrible meaning of Chinese torture, and tidings of Dr. Suns welfare are awaited with anx- iety by his Harvard friends.
