CHEMISTRY AND EDucAT1oH.
Address Of WillAan H. seamen Bee
fore the mems Club.


Address of william H. seamen Be-
fore the Mems Club.
William H. Seamen. lof the United States
Patent Once, delivered an address on the
Relation of Chemistry to Education" be-
fore the Mems Club Of Trinity Paris, In
the Parish Hall. last evening. The speak
er was introduced BY Mr.. Hilder, the pres
ident Of the club.
Speaking of the important part which a
knowledge of chemistry should play in our
everyday life, Prof. Seamen said that the
ancients knew scarcely anything Of the
subject, due to their not having under
stood the use of the microscope From
the earliest times until the reign Of Queen
Elizabeth the only fact known concerning
electricity was that when a piece OF amber
was rubbed against another substance un-
til the friction produced a small amount OF
heat 1t acquired the power to attract other
pieces OF amber. Now. of 10000 miles Of
tramways in operation in this country,
only 1900 miles are horsepower roads.
most Of the remainder being electric lines.
Another interesting fact mentioned by
the speaker was in regard to the great
amount of oxygen necessary for the COM
bustion OF one ton Of coal and the conse-
quent need of plenty Of fresh air in our
homes to supply the constant drain. One
ton of coal requires two and one-half tons
of oxygen in burning, and as oxygen forms
but one-ifth Of the atmosphere 1t takes
nearly thirteen tons OF air for each ton Of
coal consumed. This destroys a popular
fallacy that combustion is destructive.
since the gases and ashes left from the
burning of this one tsn would weigh three
and one half tons.

THE DEAD OF THE MAINE.
The Bodies to Be Buried at Arlington
before January I.

The Secretary of the Navy has received
a report from Captain Greene. command
ant Of the Havana naval station. announc-
ing that he had executed contracts for the
exhumaticn of the bodies of the Names
dead, and that the bodies will be ready
TO be returned to the United States on
December 10.
1t had been feared that arrangements
could not be completed for at least a
month, and the battieship Texas, a sister
ship of the Maine and commanded by Cap
tain Sigsbee, which had been selected for
the duty of bringing home the cofins had
been ordered earlier in the day to Hamp-
ton Roads after her visit to Brunswick,
Ga. The vessel is expected at Hampton
Roads about the end of this week, and
after coaling will proceed Immediately to
Havana. where Captain Sigsbee will arrive
Just two years less two months from the
day on which the fine ship he commanded
was destroyed by an explosion.
1t is the understanding that the bodies
will reach Washington to be perma aently
buried at Arlington with military honors
before the end OF the year.

grounds owned by the Government, its ter
mini to be the Capitol and the portico
OF the Parthenon; Memorial Temple OF

The Germans tried their utmost TO make the
