The timeworn vices of morpho-
mania and alcoholism have been to
some degree superseded by "petrol-
ISM" which is described by physicians
who have treated patients for it as
"a grim novelty, almost without paral-
lei" The taste for petroleum, ii is
said, grows upon the tippler until il
develops into an irresistible passion.
Physicians who devote themselves tn
the various forms of dipsomania have
rot yet had an opportunity to study
the full effects of petroleum. and their
views rs to its cure and future are
somewhat divergent But the coz
sensus Of opinion is that tho victim Of
this new habit is sad and melancholy,
The mineral oil does not temporarily
stimulate and encourage like alcohol or
morphine.

TICK the Sidewalk,

Uut in widest Chicago a man was
bothered by the pedestrians who
crossed his land. He was not using
his land. nevertheless it worried him
to think that people considered private
ownership so little that they would
unfeelingly cross corner lot rather
than walk around the two sides OF
it. So he put mp a sign. reading:
please take the sidewalk" And in
order that there should be Il sidewalk
he prt down boards, his precinct not
yet having grown up to fiagstones and
asphalt In the morning he arose and,

The holdrp men had been working
over aish;. They had taken the side
walk aud sold it to Il lumber yard.
Yet there are people who imagine that
Chicago is slow.

While Mr.. Webster was once al
dressing the Senate on the subject OF
internal improvements. and every
Senator was listening with close atteu-
ton, the Senate clock commenced
striking, but instead of striking twice
2 p. m, continued to strike without
cessation more than forty times. All
eyes were turned to the clock. and
Mr.. Webster remained silent until the
clock struck about twenty, when he
thus appealed to the chair: ''Mr

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

DR.. w. Meinhardus that the phenom-

by some special circumstance. In the
storm observed, reports from elevated
stations showed that the moisture was
condensed in an upper air-stratum
above freezing point in temperature,
and that the rain fell through a colder
stratum, becoming chilled to freezing
temperature, but remaining liquid un-

Professor J. B. Johnson, of Wash

some interesting tests Of the behavior
Of iron or steel stirrups, as used for
hanging floorbeams 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 tho 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 aal plaster; but it may be
we'll to call attention again to the i'm
perative necessity for doing so.
