The best is the Wheeler Brand of Bel
fast Ginger Ale. made by Wheeler & Co..
of Belfast. Ireland, from the celebrated
Cromac Springs of that city. These
springs are the property of Wheeler &
Co., hence no other Ginger Ale manufac-
turer in Ireland has those waters but
themselves. The Wheeler Ginger Ale is
made from pure Jamaica Ginger Root and
not from Red Pepper. as others are.
For Healthfulness and Purity the cele-
brated Wheeler brand of Belfast Ginger
Ale is the best.

There are many good housckeepers
who are Indifferent in the matter Of
saving small coal aud clnders. Unseen
waste goes on in most houses in this
respect. If housekeepers would make
"a q point to see that all c.uders and
khes are sifted daily they would be
krprised at the fuel hey would save.
There are various ARRANGEMENTS for
sitting cinders. The best, However, is
q cinderboX fitted with rockers like n
cradle. 1t has 4 wire tray inside ana
a lid which covers the top. The Gin.
ders are placed in the tray ana the
cover Is put on. The box is rocked for
a few minutes, and then left to stand
a quarter Of an hour. Then cover Is
taken off, the dust will have subsidized
the ashes win have fallen through into
the box beneath and the cindcrs will
have been left on the tray ready for
use.
After the cinders have been re.
moved cold water should be poured
over them. This causes them to make
much better fuel when mixed with
Goals.

MONEY OUT OF AIR.
Plant to Sell Oxygen, Liquefied Car
bonic Acid and, Maybe, Nitrogen.

poniC HClu ana, MAYBE, Nitfo9eH'
Prof Raoul Pictet, of Geneva, Swift
zerland has invented a process for the
separation of the oxygen and nitro
gen of the air at atmospheric pres
sure
The process is one that is about to
be introduced in this city on a com
mercial scale, and a plant is now near.
ing completion.
Professor Pictets process consists
in the initial production of a certain
quantity Of liquid air which is stored
in tubes. Then through this is forced
under a pressure OF only about one
atmosphere or Is pounds to the inch,
stream of atmospheric air. This is
cooled in the liquid air. but as it rises
in a chamber beyond the gases of
which 1t is composed separate them
selves by gravity and run Off in separ-
ate tubes.
The oxygen being slightly tho heay.
Ter, flows out through the lower tubes,
while the nitrogen goes off above In
addition to these cases, the air con-
tains us an impuIity carbonic acid gas,
and. this, it is asserted, leaves the
machine in a LIQUID form, being re-
duced to that form by the low temper
AZURE.
The two products by which a direct
commercial use are expected to be
found are the oxygen and the liquid
carbonic acid gas The latter already
has a fixed place in the market, and
large quantities of it are saved in well
equipped brcweries, where it is pro-
duced in great bulk through the fer
menting of the beer. 1t is pumped
into steel tools under a pressure that
liquiiies it. 1t is worth TX cents
pound.
The great market which Professor
Pictet expects to find for the oxygen
is to support combustion at high tenn
peratures in furnaces where coal is
burned. In burning fuel with the oXy-
gen Of the air there must be admitted
to the furnace about three times the
bulk of oxygen or nitrogen, and this
absorbs large quantity of the heat,
If an excess of air goes into the f.
mace, this also takes up and wastes
heat. By admitting oxygen these
losses can be saved
The nitrogen, it is asserted, can be
used for the production of nitric acid,
and Professor Pictet says that by a
process of his invention he can com.
bine it into ammonia directly by ex-
posing hydrogen and nitrogen to the
electric arc under certain conditions
If this be true, Professor Pictet has
solved a problem of wonderful value,
which has defed the researches of the
ablest chemists OF the world.-New
York Sun.

me Dilemma OF imperialism.

Senator Beyeridge's legal argument
that the new possessions are not part
of the United States and that the Con-
stitution does not extend over them
may or may not be correct. The
lawyers will wrangle over it.
However it may be decided, it is
hard to see how imperialistic expan-
sion can be justified.
II they are parts of the United
States we admit an alien element to a
share in government-an element half
civilized, barbarous or savage. If
they are not, then we must govern
them arbitrarily, observing no restric-
lions save those imposed by con-
science or eXpediency upon our will.
In other words, the republic is to be
transformed into a military empire.
There is no escape from this dilem-
ma if the imperialistic policy is &C.
What's the Matter With Mckinley.
The grain crop of 1888 was worth
167,000,000 more than the grain crop
Of 1898 of the United States.
The total grain crop of 1SS6-7-S
was S,712000,O00 bushels, and was
valued at $3.6s7, 100000, at an aver
age price per bushel of 43 cents.
The total bushels of all grain for
1868 was 10,1900OO,000, total
value 1921, 100000, average price per
bushel, 80 cents, a decline Of $440,.
100000.
Now the query is, whether, under
Mckinley prosperity, the farmers of
1906-7-S will be raising 100000 900
bushels of grain and get S44O,000,-
600 less for 1t than they did in
1S96-7-S?
The advent of Mckinley meant

dead loss of S440,0 100000 Rather

SENATOR LODGES BIAS.
He Had an Opinion Similar to That Of
the Author.

Two travellers in parlor car be-
tween Boston and New York were
discussing a magazine article by SEN
ator Henry Cabot Lodge relating to
the Revolutionary War One of the
men had the current number of the
magazine and had run across a state
mcnt concerning the British occupa-
ton of Boston that did not agree with
his previous information on the sub
ject, and seemed contrary to the popu-
lar idea of the subject.
He explained the discrepancy to his
companion, and concluded with the
remark: "These modern historians
are turning things topsyturyy l Won
der where they got hold of that latest
informationT
The person addressed took the ma
gaZine and read carefully the Offend
ing paragraph, and then returned the
box saying:
well, I'm sure you've got me. Ac-
