Served Them Right.

More than one person in Morris
County has been swindled of late by
sharp swindlers in Montreal who ad-
vertised that for 81 they would send
securely sealed beautiful bound
book of 400 pages, full of good things
every sport should have one; the most
wonderful book ever written; French
and English translations prohibited
in some countries. For his dollar
the dupe receives q copy of the Bible,
which retails at fifteen cents, and
which anyone can plainly see answers
all the specifcati ons of the advertise
ment. The slickest move in this
scheme was the selection of the Bible
as the authorities to whom complaint
has been mado refuse to act on the
ground that they will not interfere
with plan which is so well calcula-
ted to place the Scriptures in tire
hands of those very persons who need
it the most.

from the balloon in which they have
been travelling, and offer their services.
After many plans and efforts they sue
coed and are richly rewarded by the
Queen and her ladies.
The specialties of the performances
were varied and very cleverly executed.

HISTORY OF
PHILIPPINES
Its Inhabitants from 1882 to
1858.
Some interesting Facts About
Their Life and Customs by Hon.
John Whitehead.

Forty five years ago book, written
in French was published in Paris.
It's author was physician named de la
Gironiere, who had been educated for
his profession at Nantes. AS soon as
he was licensed his love of adventure
led him to offer his professional SER
vices as the consignee of an East
Indian merchantman, in which he
sailed for the Orient. After years
absence he returned to France but not
satisfied with his first voyage, he
made two others of similar charac-
9er and then his desire for new scenes
led him to visit Manila. which he
reached after being eight months on
shipboard. He landed first at Cavite,
then an insignificant village Very
soon the doctor encountered a series
of perils and of adventures which must
have delighted his danger seeking
nature. He relates these, more than
twenty years afterwards in the simp-
lest manner possible, with no particu-
lar style of his own and with no en-
bellishment by grace of diction nor
with any sensational phrases.
1t was the year when the cholera
was at it's height in the countries of
the East. Very soon after the doctor
landed, this awful curse broke out in
Manila the Indians were swept away
by thousands. The maddened ma
tives, imagining that the terrible
scourge was caused by poison intro
auced into the spring and rivers by
the foreigners, rose and massacred
great numbers of the white residents
of Cavite and Manila. Doctor
Gironiere hads dsbeen there long enough
to have secured by his cures the graft
tude of some of the natives and
through their friendly efforts he was
saved.
After many narrow escapes from
the daggers of the infuriated natives
he found himself abandoned by the
vessel in which he had sailed from
France and by its crew. His worldly
possessions had dwindled down to
thirteen dollars in actual cash and one
miserable suit of Clothes With this
money in his pocket and dressed in
his shabby clothes, he briskly, and

LIQUID AIR.
An Interesting Lecture Before the Fri
day evening Club.


The fifth meeting of the Friday
Evening Club held at Lyceum Hall
last Friday evening proved to be a
highly instructive one and the large
and attentive audience showed what
deep interest was taken in the subject
Liquid Air. -
Mayor Fox in his Introductory
remarks said that he wanted to en-
phasize the fact that the Friday Even
ing Club was not source of amuse-
ment but that it's principle and object
was to instuct and educate, and urged
all members to attend every meeting.
Prof. Eugene @. Foster, the speaker
of the evening, opened his lecture
with concise explanation of what
liquid air was and said he wished to
first impress upon the audience that
there was nothing mysterious about
it, that it was very highly compressed
air. Neither was it''of such recent use,
for it's manufacturer began in 1877,
when it cost two thousand dollars an
ounce, while now it was but five
dollars a gallon. He described the
methods of securing, liquifying and
transporting the air and said he trus-
ted the audience might receive the
culture which was undoubtedly con-
tained in the Boston air used that
evening. Its normal temperature, he
stated was 314 dergees below zero.
Among the many interesting expert
ments which Prof. Foster gave were
those of cooking" cranberries, eggs,
onions and beefsteak. all of which
came out so we'll done that only a
strong blow with hammer could
break them. A bunch of carnations
which he inserted in the air retained
their color but had become so brittle
one touch crushed them into atoms. A
bar cf mercury was frozen and ex-
hibited. Steel was burned at a tenn
perature of three thousand degrees
above zero while it retained its tenn
perature of over three hundred degrees
below.
Prof. Foster doubted it's use COM
mercially to any great extent on ac-
count of it's being expensive and also
hard to transport but he cited cases,
of it's uses as a refrigerant, and its
being successful employed in surgical
operations,
The titles of some books which Prof.
Fotster suggested reading in connec-
tion with this subject can be found
in our literary column.

Then at noon on Wednesday the Senate
met with the Assembly and canvassed
the vote cast on the day previous. AS
Senator Sewell had majority in each
house it was unnecessary to take joint
ballot, and Senator Pitney, who was
chosen to preside over the joint assembly,
declared Senator Sewell reelected az
soon as the clerks of the two houses had
read the records of the votes taken.
The large Assembly chamber was
crowded during the joint session and
among the spectators were several Con-
gresham and many important State
officials. The announcement of Senator
Sewell's election was greeted by loud
applause.

MANY BILLS INTRODUCED.
The influx of bills during the week has
been heavy. One of the noticeable fea'
lures of the legislation as a class is the
large number of bills for the regulation
of corporations and trusts introduced by
the Democratic members, and it is be.
ginning to be believed by some that the
bills are a part of a shrewd move on the
part of the followers of "Bob" Davis OF
Hudson, to manufacture ammunition for
use in the gubernatorial campaign next
fall.
Another peculiar feature is the large
number of bills for the erection of State
normal schools. Nearly every section of
the State is now represented in some bill
which provides that normal school
shall be erected at cost of 100000 OF
$3.50. 900, and if the Legislators should
pass all of them the State would be
quickly relieved of considerable por.
ton of the surplus to which the Repub.
licans point with reasonable pride
Two Of the bills introduced during the
week are noticeable because they are the
direct ourgrowth of abuses now in the
minds of the public. One is House No
40, introduced by Mr.. Waite of Camden
which makes hazing, whereby bodily in
jury is inflicted, misdemeanor punish

less than five grain quantities shall regis

[From our special correspondent
State House, Trenton, Jan 24.-The
third week of the State Legislature has
been marked by the reelection of

of a number of bills of varied import
