The treatment consists in standing the

being continued ten minutes. The
head is allowed to protrude from the
box, as breathing of the intensely cold

Ice storms are commonly believed
to be due to rain falling on surface
cold enough to freeze it. The fact
that the objects iced are often COM
paratively warm makes this simple
theory insufficient, and observations
during remarkable ice storm last
October, in Germany, have proven to
DIR. w. Meinhardus that the phenom-
enon is one II the singular conditions
of liquids known as "superfusion." In
this state the liquid has freezing
temperature but is kept from solidifying
by some special circumstance. In the
storm observed, reports from elevated
stations showed that the moisture was
condensed in an upper air-stratuia
above freezing point in temperature,
and that the rain fell through colder
stratum, becoming chilled to freezing
temperature, but remaining liquid I'M
til the drop was deformed by striking
a resisting body.

Professor J. B. Johnson, Of Wash.
ington University, st. Louis, has made
some interesting tests of the behavior
of iron or steel stirrups, as used for
hanging foor-beams from brick walls,
when exposed to fire, and finds that,
under such circumstances, they soon
become red-hot, and then burn their
way rapidly through the end of the
beam, while, at the same time, they
soften and bend down, the result be-
ing that the beam drops out of its
bearing in fifteen or twenty minutes
after the fire reaches it. Most archi-
tects are careful to see that such sup
porting members are fireproofed with
wire-lath and plaster; but it may be
we'll to call attention again to the i'm.
perative necessity for doing so.

A singular bacterial disease proves
to be the cause of decay of ancient
metallic implements and other objects.
It appears in the form Of small ex-
crescences or alterations, which be-
come the centres of rapid oxidation,
and DR.. w. Frazer, an Irish antigua
rian, finds that all antiques of copper
or it's alloys with tin are liable to be
infected. In bronze, remarkable dis
indignation is produced, the metal be-
ing gradually reduced to an amorphous
powder. The disease is believed, with
great reason, to have infective powers,
spreading like leprosy through the
metal, and even being conveyed to
fresh surfaces from the affected spots.
Counterfeiters have not overlooked
the spots Of bronze disease, from
which, it is asserted, they have inocu-
lated their false antiques to- impart a
genuine appearance.

story of how the paper dealt with one

1t Appeals that printer, Henry
Cook. was part owner of the paper
when the Forum company bought the
plant. Cook was gwen ii note OF $3.50
III part payment for his interest which
consisted of presses, or other materials.
The note was made out in the name
OF the company and endorsed by the
manager. When the note fell due
Cook had it cashed at one OF the banks
in Frostburg.
The Forum company let the note go
to protest and when the bank called for
payment the Forum company contend
ed that Cook ShOuH pay tie note : The
case was tried before magistrate in

of the Anaconda IStandald, giving IA
full account of the sell-out Of II re-
publicans to w. A. Clark, thus elect
ing him. For many ballots Conrad
led Clark, each polling democratic
votes only. Finally Clark went ahead ;
then the flop, and he was declared
elected. This acknowledgment is
more particularly made. however, to
state that the StaHdatd does not mince
words. Taking late Alleganian ideas
of libel as correct, there is ground in
the Standard for about 100 such suits
as the one which the Forum begged
Sandy Smith to drop.

stated at the trial that he did not in
tend the note to be negotiable, which
appeared to mean that the company did
not intend that Cook should finally get
the money due him for his presses.
| mention this to inform the miners
that this is the paper that has so much
concern for their welfare that finds
so much fault with the Mine Inspector
for not finding bad air; that decries
the imaginary "pluck me- stores, and
that weeps because the miners are
neglected by the coal operators.
Here was a case where the lovers of
the miners should have paid the debt
they owed to a poor man for his goods,
but instead OF doing so, they tried to
make him pay their ooOn note for the Sc
goods.
And this is hepaper that champions
the Legislative career of MesSrs. Camp
bell and Dick and praises their patri-
otic work.
But this is just what have said right
along. All this procalming of great
concern for the interests of the miners
on Georges Creek is only looking for
their votes and the promotion of selfish
ends
But the fooling period is fast disap-
pearlng. We are getting our eyes
opened, and we are going to keep
them so, and we will continue to pour
hot shot into all these ''rounderSn in
the future. JACKSON.
