in the M. E. Church, Thanksgiving
night. There was a large and appre-
ciatiye audience and the various selec-
tions We're we'll received, The music
was well rendered, the musicians be-
ing Miss Paine and the Misses Mason,

violinist, was especially pleasing.
Since the recent heavy rains, many
of our drillers and tool-dressers have
gone to Monroe Co. and other oil fields
to resume work which was suspended
so long on account of scarcity of water.

The production of oxygen in a com.
mercial way is proposed by Prof. Raoul
Pictet, of Geneva. His method is to ad-
nit air to a condenser cooled by liquid
air, relying upon the low temperature
to cause the oxygen to separate by
gravity from the nitrogen. When the
two gases have separated the oxygen
will be drawn of from the bottom of
the condenser and the nitrogen from
the top, while the carbonic acid, which
will be liquefied, will be drawn off into
tubes. With an engine of 500-horse
power some 500, 900 cubic feet of oxygen
can be obtained, it is said, in one day. .

NEW TYPES OF LAKE VESSELS
Those Suitable for Passage Through
the Canals Are Most In
Demand.

In the annual review of the marine
on the great lakes the "Blue Book of
American Shipping" just published,
says: "The approximate value of YES
sells built in shipyards of the great
lakes during the last year is SIC, $780,
600. Nearly all of these vessels are
steel freight steamers of $50 to 500
feet in length and of 1000 to 5000
net tons capacity, equipped with
quadruple expansion engines of 1900
to 5000 horse power. and in most
cases with water tube boilers. The
year has, of course, been one OF the
most prosperous in the history of lake
ship building on account of the boom
in iron and steel lines. There are
still a large number of ships under
construction in the lake yards, some
of them not to come out until the
spring of 1901, and there is every rea-
SON to expect, in view of the profits
assured to ship owners by reason of
contracts made last fall. a renewal
of orders that will give the yards
nearly as much work for another win
ter as they have had in the last year.
IT the number of new ships ordered
for lake trade should be limited the
difference will probably be mace up
IN steel freight steamers of about
5000 tons capacity, to be built for
both the lake and Atlantic service
vessels suited to passage through the
Canadian canals from the lakes to the
seaboard.< The canal type of steamer
is about 255 feet over all, AZ feet beam
and 26 feet nodded depth. About a
dozen such vessels are now in commits
sion on the lakes and they might be
sent ON to the seaboard for coast
service at any time. The few that
have gone to the Atlantic have proved
SO successful in the trade to Porto
Rico and down the United Sta ties
coast that it is proposed to equip four
others, now under construction at the
works of the American Shipbuilding
company, for all kinds of service on
salt water as well as ON the lakes.
Companies are forming for the con-
struction and operation of a very
large fleet of steamers of this kind,
and it is expected that the lake build.

SANG TO THE SOLDIERS.
Death Of the Veteran BalIadist, ga
Their" Locke, in Massr-
chusetts.

Elbridge w. ("Father') Locke, one
of the best-known men in veteran cir
cles in this state, died at his home in
Chelsea recently, says the Boston Jour-
nal. Father Locke became well known
during the civil war as a singer of
army ballads, and since the close of
the war he appeared in nearly every
public school in the state, singing his
songs.
Early in the SOS Father Locke wrote
song entitled "The Ship of State .
This song he sang for the first time in
Faneuil hall at the ratification of the
nomination Of Lincoln. The song
pleased the large audience to such an
extent that Cows. Banks and Andrews
suggested that he go to Springfield,
ILL.,, and sing the song to Mr.. Lincoln.
He went there and Mr.. Lincoln was
greatly pleased with Father Locke's
effort.
In 1862 Father Locke went to Wash
ington, where he was received by the
president, and spent some time sing
ing his songs to him. He suggested
to Father Locke that he might 60
among the "boys," cheering them with
his ballads. The suggestion was read
lily accepted by the singer, and he spent
the following three years with the diff
ferent armies, relating his stories and
singing his ballads.
After the close of the war Father
Locke wrote many songs, the most
popular Of which was Our Free Amer
ica," written in 1895. This song had
large sale and is in use in nearly all
the schools in the state as q patriotic
air. Father Locke was So years old.
He Was born in New Hampshire.

Been Attended with Crafty.
Ing Success.

Such numbers of medicines make
their appearance without any appreci-
able result from therapeutic point
of view; SO many substances are daily
put forward as possessing marvellous
bactericidal properties" whereas they
have not always the value of those
more commonly used, that physicians
are beginning to get mistrustful, as
they see that the commercial question
comes from the scientific question. An
exception, however, appears to be ad-
missible for "aniodol," the new prod
uct prescribed by NJ. Sedan, of Mar
settles, says the New York Herald,
essentially composed of solution Of
trimethanal, which is said to be a
very powerful antiseptic. In a solu-
ton at 100 it destroys, within five
minutes, nearly all the microbes; at
100000, or even 10000, it sterilizes
any center whatever. The exact bac-
tericidal proportion has been fixed by
NJ. Merieux, director of the Pasteur in
stitute at Lyons, at $4,000. But nu-
merous experiments prove that
Koch's bacilli, contained in salivi, are
destroyed in six hours by solution of
$500, which is a very satisfactory re-
suit.
Aniodol, however, is not only an ex-
traordinary antiseptic, it is a deodor-
izer of the first class. There is not
wound, however fetid, that can resist
its action, and that does not lose its
odor, even though it be a cancerous
or gangrenous wound.
1t is of the very first necessity to,
be exactly fixed as to the doses
to be used. Doses that are too strong
will sterilize a wound, but will dry It
and prevent it from cicatrizing. A
moderate dose, $4,000 to $4,000, on
the contrary, acts extremely well. For
the nostrils or mouth a solution of
1-15,000 at the least and 10000 at the
strongest produces complete disinfec-
ton. For the hands and surgical in
struments a proportion of IL, 600 gen.
orally suffices.
NJ. Sedan is not only using it in So
buttons; he is having prepared an anio-
dol soap, which not only cleanses the
hands, but absolutely disinfects them.
and on this ground is capable of rem
dering the greatest service in the
country and in the surgery of the bat
tlefield.
An interesting application, from a
hygienic point of view, has also been
made by M. Sedan. With a proportion
of $50 grammes of aniodol soap to a
kilogramme of linen he was able with
an ordinary ''lessiveuse" to obtain the
perfect sterilization of the septic SAM
pie which he used in his experiments.
All these qualities are evidently wor-
thy of attention, and NJ. Pinard, who
has used aniodol with the greatest sue
cess. based on its Incompatible prop
critics as a deodorizer, and the alb
sence of al danger from its use.
