Some remarkable circumstances arc
related In connection with the Dobree
legacy This bequest constituted q
fortune OF ls,00O,OOO francs. or $780,
600. left by M. Dobree, a ship-owner
( Of Nantes. Mr., Dobree, who was a
Protestant. having lost his wife ana
being without children, asked CORE
ligionist Of his, M. Bureau. to act as
his testamentary executor and to dis
pose of his fortune for the good OF the
department In particular and Of France
in general. M. Bureau. however, de-
clined to act in the matter and in
duced NJ Dobree to transfer full now
ers as executor to M. Durand- G asse-
lin, banker Of Nantes. The latter
accepted the duty and entered into full
possession Of the money when the tes-
tator died His instructions were to
use the millions in whatever way he
he thought would be most beneficial
to the department and the country at
large. The banker assembled his nu-
merous children and told them they
need not expect centime Of the
money. which was to be spent in ac-
cordance with the wishes OF M. Dobree,
who had left 1t without any legal and
written conditions as to its use. The
money is now being applied to the or
ganization Of school of national
and colonial horticulture near Nantes,
in chateau and grounds purchased
from the Comics de Lauriston, descen-
dants of the famous financier, Law.
This school will be richly endowed.
and M. DurandG Gasselin is also using
some of the legacy for the consolida-
ton Of the art and antiquity museum
and its dependencies given by the tes-
tator to the fortunate town OF Nantes.

To su,,a n salt p.,.es.

Utah's latest bid for tourist travel is
to be q salt palace. novelty in which
that state will claim a monopoly. 1t
is to be located in Salt Lake City,
where an organization has been
formed to push the project. Experi-
ments have proved that the product
Of the Great Salt Lake can be used to
produce beautiful. not to say gorgeous
effects. Building bricks. fanciful
shapes, and copings for pillars have
been formed, the salt retaining its Ius-
ter: while blankets. wire screens and
pIanks have been thickly coated with
the saline crystals, thus showing how
q freproof and waterproof material
may be made for the structure. To
further add to the eject, the crystals
can receive almost any shade OF color.
and this process being easy and mex
pensive. very elaborate colored effects
are promised.

CHARCOAL.
sl'ck Lead and Diamonds Have the
Same Chemical Properties.


Same Chemical Properties
With the single exception of the yell
low metal gold--there is probably
nothing in nature around which hu-
nan interests centers itself more
strongly than around diamonds. The
scientist. however. in spite of the fact
that specimens to operate upon cost
s25 per grain. regards the sparkling
crystals of carbon with critical eyes,
and in his laboratory, in the cause OF
science, he experiments with these
brilliant objects with just as much in
terest as II they were so many crystals
of common salt, sulphur or alum. No
one would suppose, judging from their
outward appearance or physical prop
critics, that lump Of charcoal, piece
OF black lead and diamond had any
relation to each other. and yet 1t has
been proved beyond dispute that their
chemical constitution is identical
They are simply three distinct modif-
cations of the non-metallic element,
carbon. To prove this relationship
many queer experiments have. been
made with these valuable crystals.
They have been burnt both in the air
and IN oxygen gas, the resulting car
bonic acid gas being carefully collected
and weighed. The favorite experiment
for proving the constitution OF the
diamond is to place a weighed quantity
In a small platinum saucer, which Is
inserted in the porcelain tube Of spe-
cially constructed miniature furnace
The tube ia heated strongly and q

hnfFeQunnt sport Eujpyed by Daring
Youths During the Cold snap
There was time when skating on
the Chicago river was as common a
winter pastinne as sleighing on the
highways. Fernando Jones used to cut
figure "eights' around under Lake
street bridge once, and Alexander
Beaubien has Asculled@ all the way
from Wells street to the outlying dis
tricts near Twelfth street. But that
was long ago, when there was water
In the river. OF late years the pro-
portion OF river and mud has been SO
excessive that the murky stream has
defed the efforts of the frost king to
produce ice thick enough to bear skat-
ers. II there was good article of ice
formed on cold night few hundred
factories began pumping hot water in
to the stream in the morning or the
fireboat came plowing along and
spoiled everything.
But the cold wave which took a fall
out of Chicago last week got at the
river and put up very fair article
OF ice. OF course in the main stream
and along that part of the south
branch which ought to flow through
the business district, the ice was brok-
en- up and spoiled by the sewers empty
ing into the river at every street, but
at Sixteenth street there was skating
and better than that, there were hardy
boys who dared t. take advantage of
1t. Some one discovered early in the
day that the ice was strong enough
to risk skating and promptly he
dragged out pair of skates from the
clothes closet and went at it. His ex-
ample encouraged and inspired other
small boys of the neighborhood and
before noon, almost dozen were try
ing the ice. 1t was an unusual spec
tacle and before the warm water from
up the stream flowed down and weak
ened the ice crowd OF spectators was
the boys gyrations.

Heaven to take him back with
them. They went to his tent.
He was not there. They went
to the hospital. He was not
there. They went to the out
posts. He was not there. They
went to the prayer meeting. He
was not there. So they had to
return without him; but when
they reported that he had dis,
appeared, they found that he
had made a flank march. and

NON-CHURCH-GOING MEN.

Rev Edward McGlvnn, D. D.,
on What is the good
of Going to Church, in the
June Ladies' Home Journal,
says that lit is a good thing to
go to church, because religion
is Il good thing-in fact, the
best and greatest thing in tie

liarly the home of religion and |
of its expression in worship.
The men who do not go to |
church need most the good |.
things the church would give
them. They are living in their
lower natures-lives, at best,
of refined or aesthetic animal /
ism, but more probably immor-
al, corrupt and sensual. Loss
of religion, or lukewarmness in
it, results commonly from viola
tons of the moral law-from
the loss Of honesty, chastity or
sobriety. Honest, not hypocrit-
ical, church. going would bring
men back to virtue and piety
through instruction, prayer and
worship. through purifying and
Strengthening saCraments, and
through sympathy, good ex-
ample and mutual help. Right
reason teaches the Immortality
OF the soul, the existence of
God. the filial relation of man
to God, and the moral law
craven on mems hearts by the
Creator. Right reason also
teaches that obedience to the
moral law is necessary for
mans happiness here and here
after, and for the best good of
human society. Therefore, If
there were no Christian reVela-
ton nor Christian church at all,

Recent Charges May Injure the Trade
Eagan Doesn't Tire.
Washington, Jan. 9.-In view of the
tive value of American canned meats
tending to injure the foreign and do
nestle trade in these goods, Secretary
Wilson has called for and received from
the director of the office of experiment
stations a statement of the conclusiona
of scientific experts on this matter.
They all agree that not only is our
canned beef wholesome, but that it is
more nutritious than freshly killed
beef, eaten at once.
Commissary General Egan, of the
army. has made public letter from
Lieutenant Colonel A. L. Smith, of the
subsistence department, touching the
use of refrigerated beef furnished to
troops in Porto Rico from that landed
at Ponce. In this letter Colonel Smith
beef sent to Porto Rico was frst-class
in every respect.
Major John D. Black, commissary of
subsistence in the office of the COM
manding general, testified to the war
investigation commission Saturday that
the general character of the commits
sary supplies was good. He said, how
ever. that the refrigerated beef landed
in Porto Rico was spotted, but he was
informed that the spots did not affect
it's quality, and it was given to the sick
without objection from any source. He
did not eat any of it himsehlf. appar-
emily preferring the native beef.

Washington. Jan. 9.-The commission
er of internal revenue has decided that
where a retail dealer sells to one person
an eighth barrel of one kind of beer,
an eighth barrel of another kind. and so
on, upon single order, he subjects
himself to special tax as wholesale
dealer. unless each package differs in
price from the other. in which case each
is regarded as the subject of a separate
sale; or unless (where the beers are
similar in price and quality a separate
order is given by the purchaser for each
package. In either of these cases each
package is to be regarded as separately
sold. and the special tax of wholesale
dealer is not required to be paid there
for.
The commissioner has also decided
that the proprietor of a saloon keeping
an orchestra of five or six people play
ing in order to enhance his trade in
selling beer, whisky" etc, is required
to pay special tax under paragraph s
of the war revenue act.

the Ottoman government being that far
behind in making its report. These show
that the American trade with Turkey
is outranked by almost all the European
nations and especially by France Eng
land and Germany, who hold the bulk
of the trade. The chief handicap to
American trade is the high freight
rates. The American goods here are
sold almost entirely for cash and at
higher rates as a rule than are charged
for European manufactures. This
speaks well for the reputation of Amer
lean goods in the Turkish market. An
experiment was recently made by a
