The value OF silence.

USE OF A "wATER MONKEY"
Primitive Method of Cooling Drinks
Employed in Santiago.

New York Press. /,
our soldiers of the North, accustomed In
their civilian days to drinking water cooled
by ice will have new experience In CuDa,
and especially in and about Santiago. Inc
dispatches from that territory, bullying with
SO many matters of great importance,
could not be expected to speak Of the aban,
donment of the artificial ice machines ana
the return TO the primitive condition OF
cooling water by the water monkey.
Artificial ice was unknown in CUBA ten
years ago. Its Introduction was opposed by
the older people on the ground that IT was
unhealthful and unnecessary. For four CEN
turtles they had drunk water cooled by q
crude method of evaporation, and the bring
ing in of q new invention to reduce temper
allure below the freezing point did not meet
their approval. Now they are back TO the
primitive method again, because the war
has paralyzed all commercial industry in
Santiago and the ice-making machines are
at a Standstill.
The water monkey" is a jar Of porous
clay baked in the sun and nodded into the
shape of a narrow-mouthed pot, such as
las used by the early Egyptians. There IS
nothing new about it, and it is a little sim
g.ilar that the water monkey of to-day IN
Cuba is Of the same pattern as that used
1000 years ago on the upper Nile and also

Spanish EgOtism.

Irving Rabbit, in August Atlantic.
The Spaniard is filled with that subtle
egotism engendered by medieval religion
which neglected mans relation to nature
and his fellows and fixed his attention sole
" on the problem of his personal salvation
In the olden time it was not uncommon for
a pious Spaniard, on dying, to defraud his
earthly creditors in order that he might
pay masses for the welfare of his soul
make his soul his heir" as the Spanish
say. And the Spaniard still remains self
conferred. He has little capacity for trust
ing his fellow-men: for cooperating with
them and working disinterestedly to a COM
mon end; he is impatient of organization
and discipline, and so, as some one has re-
marked he is warlike without being mill
tary We may. add that he is filled with ma
tional pride without being really patriotic
He still has in his blood something of the
wild desert instinct of the Arab and the
love of personal independence of the God
You would rather suspect" says an old
English author, that they did but live to-
gether for fear of wolves AS a public
servant the Spaniard is likely to take for
his motto. ''Apres moi lie deluge,' or as the
Spaniard puts It, "El ultimo mono Sc ahoga"
(the last monkey gets drowned.)

There are 2.2o0 daily and 1900 weekly pa
perS published in the United States, ana
twenty three different languages, other than
English. are represented in the newspaper
press of this country.
There is only one newspaper published IN
the Russian language in the United States.
Ihere are hve newspapers, all weekly, IN
the Portuguese language. OF these three
are in California and two are in Massa-
chusetts, at New Bedford and at Boston.
There are four daily newspapers in the
Polish language, published at Chicago, Buff
falo, Milwaukee and Baltimore. Besides
these. there are seven weekly Polish papers
at Chicago, six in Pennsylvania, one at
Cleveland, one at Toledo and three at De-
troit. Most of the periodicals in the Span
1Sh language are trade papers, but there is
a daily paper at New York, and at Key
west is another. There are four Spanish
papers In Auzona and twelve in New
Mexico.
One Armenian paper is published in the
city OF New York, and there are two Chi
nese weekly papers in San Francisco. Five
newspapers are published in the Finnish
language two in the mine regions Of Mich
lgan and one each in Illinois, Minnesota
and New York. There are two daily b.
hemian papers in New York, two in Chi
cago and one at Cleveland. There are
Omaha, one in Racine, Wis, and one in
Portland, Ore. The Danish papers are
almost exclusively designed for circulation
any city circulation, though there is one
Danish paper published in New York.
The indisposition of the French to ac-
quire any other language must account
for the large number of French papers
published throughout the Union even
where the French population is inconsid-

(read chiefly by French Canadians) at Fall
River Lowell and New Bedford, and one
published at Woonsocket, r. /.
Seven newspapers are published in the
Slavonic language, and of the four in
Welsh three are in Utica and its neigh
borhood. Thirty Swedish newspapers are
published, but no daily papers among the
number; eleven Norwegian, seven of them
in Minnesota; five Hungarian one Greek,
one Gaelic, one Arabic and eighteen Dutch,
nine of which are in Michigan, where the
Hollanders are numerous, only one being

best drinking water down there is that
which comes from the clouds. Wells are
almost unknown in eastern Cuba: Up. in
the Mountains there are a few springs, but
the Catskills or the Adirondacks.
Rain water is collected in cisterns, and
when needed for drinking is poured into the
clay jars. In these it is cooled by evapora-
ton. The water goes slowly through the
porous sides of the jar, and on the outside
surface is taken up by the air. The process
of evaporation is accompanied by reduc-
ton of temperature-one of the most COM
mon principles of chemistry. BY the evap-
grafton the temperature of the water is re-
duced to As degrees Fahrenheit, and is then
considered fit for drinking

More Gases i'm the Atmosphere than
Philosophers Have known.
London Times.

London Times.
A further communication of great interest
on the occurrence of hitherto unsuspected
elements of the atmosphere was made re-
Gently to the Royal Society by Professor
Ramsay and Mr.. Travers. Since the dis
covery of argon it has always been a ques-
ton whether the gas isolated by Lord Ray
leigh and Professor Ramsay was in reality
a single uniform substance, point which
was very difficult to settle owing to the i'm
possibility OF applying any ordinary chem
ical test Moreover, as the molecular weight
of helium-whch shares with argon the Pc
cularity of being an entirely inert element
is four, while that of argon is nearly forty,
it appeared probable that an element of
intermediate molecular weight remained to
be discovered. Professor Ramsay and Mr.
Travers have therefore prepared a large
quantity of "argon'' from atmospheric
nitrogen, separating this latter gas by
means of magnesium, and having Gquefied
fractionally distilled the product. The first
portion, consisting of less than 100 cubic
centimeters, distilled off from the liquid
obtained by condensing eighteen litres of
argon, was found to have density of about
13 instead of 20, which is that OF argon; and
its spectrum differed from that of the
known gases, yellow line less refrangible
than those characteristic OF helum and
crypton, being especially prominent; On
continuing the distillation after nearly the
whole of the liquid argon had evaporated,
a solid was obtained which only slowly
volatilized: The gas into which TINS solid
ly the same density as aIgon, but its
spectrum was altogether different and
peculiar consisting for the most part OF
bands. not of lines. 1t is proposed to call
the lighter element neon, and that derived
from the solid metargon.
These observations, as well as those on
crypton communicated to the society last
week must obviously be regarded as but
indications of the presence in various mi
stances probably all elements in the at
mosphere. Further development of the in
vestigaticns will be awaited with interest.
The success which has thus far been OBJ
tanned is striking proof of the great value
Of the new engine of research which LIQUID
air affords, especially as diffusion expert
menss had failed TO afford any evidence Of
the presence of such substances in our air.
