A New Acid.

laurie acid is q new chemical dis
covery, obtained from tauric moss-a
lichen or fungus usually found grow
ing upon rocks and the roots of trees
throughout the country-has been
found to possess properties which will
render it invaluable as a solvent of
metals. Gold, silver, steel, aluminium
and lead, when immersed in the acid,
become pliable and docile as putty. The
advantages it presents for workers in
metal-more especially jewelers-are
readily apparent. Designs can be mold
ed by the hands alone, without the use
or assistance of heat. Strange to say.
however, the acid has no effect upon
iron.-Youth's Companion.

\ broad smile naturally suffuees the
c~ountenances OF popullsts and democrats
as they read of the wordy alteration
that has arisen between Edward Atkln-
son and the ADMINISTRATION. For the
past SIX years the noted statistician has
fortified the republican party with
figures to bolster up their contention for
a gold standard and control OF govern
ment by capitalists aud trusts, and has
done much to encourage the growth OF
imperialistic tendencies in American
politics. But now that the old man
sees that the tendency is gong too far
and takes the side o! struggling humanity
and government by consent OF the gov
erned in the Philippines, the administrs-
ton has "held him up" and some OF the
loud mouthed pstriots(D want him
hanged for treason. "Chickens come
