USES OF LIQUID AIR.
Ever Prove to he More Than
Curiosity.

AS there is reason to believe that .
a syndicate has been formed for the
purpose of floating a limited COM
pany ostensibly for the commercial
utilization of liquid air, one or two
observations on this interesting sub
stance may be timely, says the Lon
don Express.
In the Judgment of the most prom
inent authorities on the subject, the
commercial use of liquid air is not an
economic possibility. It is true that
a large number of suggestions have
been made pointing to it's adapta-
bility for different purposes. 1t has
been proposed as an explosive, and
liquid air cartridges have actually
been used with Indifferent results)
for blasting. Mr.. Tesla has been cred
tied with it's employment for increas-
ing electrical conductivity, and there
by transporting electric energy for
thousands of miles without loss.
Liquid air, too, has been suggested

again, with an air of standing by her
guns, let the worst come. If Miss
Selma always felt an impulse to run,
whenever she encountered her neigh
Dor, Mr.. Wirewood, she considered
that she had just cause for SO doing,
for Mr.. Wirewood obstinately and
relentlessly persisted in besetting her
to marry him, and in utterly refusing
to understand what No meant.
The poor man was quite hard of
hearing, and while this was one great
barrier to a union of hearts and front
yards, it was also an obstacle in the
way of impressing the fact upon his
understanding. Miss Selma had con-
sidered the matter very thoroughly.
HE amt bad man." she conceded,
honestly. "as men go; he goes to
church, and he isn't stingy, and he
wouldn't kick the cat. He don't
drink and amt afraid of burglars. If
I was going to marry any man, I
would rather it would be hin-only
I'd have to spend my days shouting
and screaming to make him hear. I

sugar, he'd think I said tacks, as
likely as any way, and I'd split nv
throat and get soured. If his deaf
ness was uniform, might get used
to it, but sometimes he seems to
hear tolerably well, and others YOU
couldn't make him understand any-
thing if you shrieked your collar but
ton out"
Mr.. Wireweed, on this merry June
morning, looked so brisk, blithe and
CHEEKY, and so pleased at seeing her,
that Miss Selina's heart smote her
somewhat for her obduracy. She
might as well at least be civil, she
admitted inwardly, and nodded him
. pleasant "Good-morning."

she called out in q clear, high voice.

Masks AS CHICKEN SALAD.
One Of the Mysterious Uses to Which
the Forbidden Bob Veal
IL Put.

Many persons who read from time
90 time of attempts such as are now
being made by the state department
of agriculture and the local health
board to suppress the bob veal traffic
wonder where all the bob veal goes
to that is said to reach the New York
markets. as they never see any of it..
One of the most common of the uses
to which it is put escapes the atten-
ton of the undiscriminating utterly.

chicken in chicken salad, says the Sun.

In which the chicken in salad is cut
into reasonably large pieces, there is,
of course, nothing. of this sort Gone.
But where the supposed chicken is
almost minced, as it too often is even
in good restaurants, there is gen
orally room for suspicion of the
substitution of bob veal for chicken.
Several men were almost more panied
than disgusted not long ago to find
themselves served with salad of bob
veal. with scattering of bits of
chicken in it in Broadway restau-
rant. The proprietor of the restau-
rant has several places of refresh
ment in town and his name has been
held to be guarantee of the quality

The Emperor Was Polite.

A woman who is of high social distinction
in America was presented to the kaiser at
some dinner that was not attended with
royal state. She was talking to him when
she was offered a famous German salad.
It was handed on her right and the kaiser
was on her left, which put her in predica
ment. She did not dare turn her face from
the emperor to help herself to the salad.
The situation was too much for her. The
emperor, seeing the condition at a glance,
looked at her for an instant and laughed,
as he said: "A kaiser can wait, but salad
cannot" t"4ChicaRo Chronicle.

Too Realistic Altogether.

The drama has sometimes curious
effect on the mind of the people, and
an incident proving this occurred here
recently. The drama "Inez de Castro"
was being played by Lisbon tournee
company at Evora. In the fifth and
last act Inez is cruelty murdered by
three men, who stab her and her cEil-
dren to death in a most narrowing
manner. This aroused such indigna-
tion in the hearts Of the occupants of
the gallery that a party of them wait
ed at the stage door for the murderers
to come up, and attacked them with
sticks and bludgeons, to the great dis
may of the actors.-Lisbon Van

THE. SCOOP NET MAN.
Strappink Big Negro who Figures
In tAe Dcpa arturc Of Big
Ocean Liners.

JuSI Uc1OEo 'Ndfu. HHcT 1cdScS HCE
East river pier for Cuba or Mexico a
big, strapping negro, carrying a net
attached to long pole, takes up his
position alongside the gangplank and
nervously looks from those gathered
on the wharf to the tourists assembled
alongside the steamer's rails, says the
New York Press.
When the gangplank 10 hauled to the
wharf the negro's eyes roll in every
direction, and he fdgets the pole as if
he had an awful responsibility upon
his brawny shoulders. The net is
about the size of one used in grabbing,
but the pole is about three times as
not used at all, and the negro goes
away and puts it into locker when
the ship backs into the stream. His
face brightens up as he does this. Fre-
quently messengers arrive on the
wharf late with bundles, letters or tel
egrams; or passengers on the ship
about to back away suddenly remem-
ber something which they jot down
quickly and pass ashore. 1t is under
such emergencies that the negro and
his scoop net play their short inning.
Quick as the flash of gunpowder he
places the package or message in the
bottom of the net. and with a deft
turn of his wrist places the article in
question under the nose of its owner.
No other steamship line uses a
scoop net in this way, and ordinarily
once the gang plank is withdrawn com
munication between the ship and the
shore is closed except to the old-fash-
toned and seldom successful mode of
hurting a letter wrapped up in bunch
Of keys aboard, or to the more expen-
sive habit of chasing the craft with a
specially chartered tugboat. At best
this net play is a quick move, for
scarcely few minutes mark the re-
moval of the steamers gangplank and
the start of the ship streamward.
II once passed a pocketbook aboard
that passenger had forgotten" said
the knight OF the net recently. 81
learned that it had $4,000 in it. The
wife of man going away brought it
down just as the plank had been
pulled in. The ship had begun to go
astern, and tell you them lawn ten
mis- chaps never lad to play as fine Il
game Of touch and go as l did then.
This net delivery is the invention of
the stevedore, whose men have had to
put valuable papers aboard ship on
the fly. 1t is the only. system Of the
kind in the country, so far as know.
We are all very proud of the plan"
where Defects Prove Gcnuineness.
The best test for rubies and emer-
aids, says DR.. Emmanuel Friedlaender
of Berlin, is microscopic examination.
Nearly every ruby and all emeralds
have many defects which are so char
acteristic that the expert can recog-
nize them, and which cannot be pro-
duced in artificial stones. True emer-
aids have minute Enclosures of liquids
and curious dendrites. Sapphires also
show peculiar netlike formations. A
magnifying power of 100 diameters
suffices to reveal the characteristic de-
fects. For diamonds a good test is
that Of hardness. \ genuine diamond
caunot be scratched by file or by
quartz, and ruby should stand a
similar test; but emerald is not much
harder than quartz, and cracks easily.

ENTERTAINMENT FOR MAN
AND BEAST.

There are not many persons liv-
ing who recall these places and signs
in the far west 40 years ago, because
the new country which was opened
up in later times wiped out old GUS
toms and manners, whereas in New
and Old England the same customs
and manners still exist in many
places.
The landlord of the western tavern
was always man of influence and
pretension. He usually wore q high
hat, carried cane and took snuff.
The latter was generally offered to
the weary traveller who halted for
the hour. In exchange for the latest
news from ''down the river the
landlord told the traveller something
of the next town and the people
whom the traveller was journeying to
see.
If the stage came to the tavern at
late hour in the night, as it often
did, the driver called out his long
"hellow" until it awoke the help in
the tavern. This was always
darky, who came out with a lighted
tallow candle in tin lantern.
When the traveller left the stage
and entered the tavern the landlord
was on hand to greet him, and if the
traveller was inclined" the landlord
invariably produced bottle of ap-
plejack or peach brandy from the
sideboard. This was the landlords
cheer. and the guest could offer no
insult greater than proffer to pay.
If there were any "lady travellers"
they were shown to the room of the
wife of the tavern keeper, who, in
stead of offering tea. ordered the
maid to bring in hot rum. spiced.
After this hospitality the travellers
resumed their journey. The darky
with the tin lantern stood in the
doorway until the stage rumbled
away in the night. and then the tav-
ern lights were out.
Some of these taverns stood on the
river wharf.-the steamboat landing.
If the stage arrived in the night the
travellers were quickly informed. as
nearly as the landlord could reckon,

was due, bound up or down.
The tavern by the riverside in the
western town 40 years ago was
known to every boatman and trav-
eler. What the tavern lacked in those
modern conveniences now required
by travellers was made up for by
hospitality on the part of the land
lord and his wife, which, like the
taverns themselves. long since per-
ished from that part of the earth.
The names of some of these west
ern taverns. as recalled by the man
who tells the story. were the Or
leans, the Oriental. the Raleigh, the
Travellers Rest and, most frequently,
the Mansion house.

The Gold of the ..Dead Rivers"

the EOlU Oh Une ''De0O EtlveFN.
Among the remarkable geological
features of California are the gravel
ly channels of ancient streams,
known to miners as dead rivers,
which often contain gold in paying
quantities. The rivers ran generally
from north to south. and some have
left beds more than two miles in
width. Some of them. after their wa
ters had disappeared, served as chan
nels for lava, which hardened over
and concealed the gold-bearing
gravel. Particular attention is It
present being paid to mining these
deposits. In prospecting them.
''melon-seeds'' of gold, varying in
size from minute grains to particles
. quarter of an inch in diameter, are
found. The gold was brought down
by the vanished rivers from the noun
tain ledges.-Youth's Companion.
