WHY RUBBER TIRES DEFLArR.
Discovery That the Oxygen Escapes
Though the Nitrogen Is Retained.

Discovery That the Oxygen Escapes
Though the Nitrogen Is Retained
A member Of the French academy
has made the discovery that shows
that oxygen readily passes through
and explains that thisi is why
the very best rubber tires viii debate
first. 1t appears that nitrogen does
not pass through rubber. The air we
breathe is composed chiefly Of oxygen
and nitrogen, and il follows, there
fore, that when a tire il inflated and
the oxygen Of the air escapes through
the rubberit leaves behind its constit-
uent Of nitrogen. Then, if the tire
be again inflated, Of course the pro-
portion Of nitrogen will be greater
than in the first place, 90 that, after
q time, as the oxygen constantly es-
capes while the nitrogen remains, the
tires come to be practically inflated
with the latter gas. This explains why

Miss Jackson and Her Company.

The divinity OF the violin, in the hands OF
a master or mistress of its infinite capacity
to charm or enthral, was again exemplfied
by Miss Leonors Jackson in the concert of
Friday evening under the auspices OF the
Apollo Club. For the technicalties and
mysteries OF expert performance-or criti-
cism-the general public has little stomach.
What counts with an assemblage in general
is the power to move-the mastery OF the
human heart Miss Jackson has this power
and exercised 1t last evening, whether it
was in the "a, b, c,"-the 'adsgio religioso,"
the Allegro" humoresque " or the
" madrigale" of Iher numbers on the
program, or the subjects OF her en-
cores. Herr playing pleased her auditors
They gave her the supreme evidence
OF her captivating power better than noisy
demonstration-rapt and bresthless atten-
ton. The applause was always general and
had the fervor Of entire spontaneity. Miss
Jackson's demeanor was marked by modest
grace. by entire self possession and a feel
ing OF quiet confidence that she could fully
accomplish what she had come before the
footlights to do, delight the listeners with
the work OF her bow and win their admir-
alton.
Miss Elburna may or may not be q sec
ond Melba," but she has talent and quality
as singer that will entitle her to ample
recognition on the score OF her individual
merits She Is, indeed, "a brilliant So
prano," with voice Of remarkable range,
power, hexibility and sweetness. Applause
and encores were not conventionslities in
her case. AS in some other things, appre-
citation Of ToI Van Pyk's musical quality
must be an acquired taste, but some seem
ed to accomplish the acquisition, or thought
they had. A piano ia at q disadvantage in
rivalry with violin in the hands of 80
great a chsrmer as il Miss Jackson, but Mr..
Pratt sustained his part in the entertain
ment brilliantly and effectively.
The encore glutton WAS out in the usual
force. The practice OF Unfortunately en-
coring-and insisting upon an encore-all
performers or performances robs the honor
OF all signiflc ance, unreasonably and weari-
somely extends q programme, or places q
bar to the repetition Of really delightful
things or the temperance Of a really wei.
come artist. Impressionable youth, with a
fine frenzy for music or the personality OF a
performer or with an utter lack Of q sense OF
propriety, or proportion, or relation of
things, are generally responsible for this
abuse OF a custom designed to distinguish
merit from mediocrity, the rare from the
common. Some performers have proper
understanding OF the proprieties in the mat
ter, are able TO distinguish the genuine from
the counterfeit encore, and to govern them
selves accordingly.

room on the second floor. Soon afterward
Agnes, daughter OF Mr.. Lotti, heard sharp
report and notified her father. BE told her
ne thought a window had been broken and
sent her to find 1t. She went to all the
rooms on the ground floor and then went
up stairs. Malnatti'5 room was the first
she came to. The door was closed and no
response came to her rap. Smelling the
odor of powder she opered the door and
found Malnatt stretched out on his bed
bleeding profusely and the revolver lying
beside him.
The girl reused the house and Dr. Chand
Ter and Officers Bancroft and Demeritt we're
summoned. The shot was heard at 1880
and the physician arrived before one o'clock
closely followed by the officers. 1t was
found that Malpstti had broken into a fell
low boarder's trunk to get the revolver
which is now in the possession OF City Sher-
iff Bancroft and contains one loaded and
one discharged cartridge.
He had shot himself in the left side of
the neck and the ball followed around the
skull and lay beneath the skin just back OF
the left ear. The flow Of blood was
staunched and the man taken to the Hea-
ton hospital in Johonnott & Halls ambu-
lance. 1t Is feared he will not recover.
1t is not known that Malnatti had any
love affair or similar trouble, and the only
clue to cause for his rash act is a re-
mark he made while the physician was
| dressing his wound, to the effect that he
was tired of life where he had to work sc
| steadily. His father, Giacomo Malnatti, re-
sides in Barre and his mother is in Italy.

COMMITTED MANY THEFTS.

Several months ago Mrs. j. b. Dillon's
purse was stolen by girl and during the
past two weeks girl has been visiting vari-
GUS houses in different darts of the city for
the ostensible purpose Of selling apples,
She would ask to be allowed to enter the
house aud sit down and rest. In many
cases, when her request was granted, 1t was
found that after her departure money and
divers other things were missing.
She could be described in appearance. but
her identity remained a secret until Tues
day afternoon, when she was arrested by
Officer Whittier and it was learned that she
was Mary, the fifteen-years -old daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. william Heavy.
On Monday she called at the home OF
Frank Trask on Edwsr street and told
Mrs. Trssk the same old story. Mrs. Trask
having heard her husband say that Officer
Whittier was looking for an apple GIRL call
ed him from another room. The girl went
away and Mr.. Trask at once notified Officer
Whittier and the two spent that afternoon
in a search for the girl but without success
On Tuesday they resumed the hunt, visiting
the different schools. Finally they separ.
sted and worked in the vicinity Of North
Main street.
AS Mr.. Whittier was driving past Gene
terry street his attention was attracted by
Mr.. Trask, who signalled him from the
Catholic cemetery. He Joined the latter
and was led to spot near by where the
girl and her brother were attempting to hide
in hollow OF the ground.
The girl confessed being the one they
were in search for and admitted taking
among other things two pocket books
Her thefts are estms ted at about $15 which
she claimed to have given to her mother
telling her she had earned the money.
The girls father was notified and she
was given into his custody until this morn

school and will probably be taken to Yer
