About Ozone.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
/ hear many people chatter about
ozone, as Disraeli said young ladies
prattled about protoplasm, that is,
without so much as knowing what
ozone is. There is prevalent idea that
it is something you get at the sea-"
and that it is good for the lungs"
What that something is, however, few
people have sufficient curiosity to in
quiTe. Ozone is what chemists call an
allotropic form of oxygen-that is 10
say, 1t is oxygen in a highly active and
concentrated condition. In ordinary
pure air ozone exists, but only in
what chemists call traces" larger
amounts are found in ocean and noun
tain air. 1t instantly disappears when
brought in contact with decaying mat
ter. dissipating itself, as it were. in the
act of oxidizing that matter. Ozone is
known to occur more plentifully dur
ing thunderstorms, and we have, of
course. the analogy of its being arti-
ficially produced from oxygen by cleo
trical discharges in the laboratory. On
the body ozone is believed to act as
stimulant, hence the popular notion OF
its beneficial effects as experienced by
the sea, but in any greater amount
than mere traces it is a violent irritant.
One authority goes the length of as
sorting that 1t Is doubtful whether 1t Is
beneficial to animal life at all. With
these items before us. am afraid we
may allow the publication by ozone
idea to remain as an impracticable no.

Their Industries Almost as Numer-
Gus and Varied as Mems.
New York, Sept. 13.-As inventions
and factories are taking away the in
dustries manufactured by the hands
of women in the home, the capable and
energetic among the wealthy are turn
ing to club work and philanthropy,
among those in middle walks of life to
business, industrial and professional
ventures. Political economists must
wrestle with the problem of overpro-
duction, of the equaliza ton Of labor,
of wages. ETC., for the fact remains
that woman has entered the busy world
to stay and is making for herself a
place, an honest living, and in some
Instances name and fame.

the island-neatness and untidiness.
The surroundings of the cottages in
Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Con-
naught are the same. In fact, a ini-
1ormity exists in this regard that can
hardly be applied to anything else in
the country.
To complete the study of the Irish
cottager, however, We must have a
glimpse of his kitchen, the one room
that is dearer to his heart than the
castles of the landlords. 1t does not
always follow that rude exterior de-
notes an uncleanly interior. Far from
it. indeed. Some of the neatest kitchens
in Ireland are enclosed in crumbling
mud walls and weed-eovered thatch
A representative kitchen is presented
above. We first observe that the pig
of common story, is not allotted the
''bist corner" in fact, some surprise
will be felt when it is explained that
the 'porker' is not even permitted to
cross the threshold. When this fallacy
has been dispelled the turf fire attracts
general attention. 1t is blazing bright
ly and will boil the "praties" in the
pot" in quick time. The crane is
black with SCOT and has been creaking
under its burdens for generations. The
'chimbley brace" is whitewashed, like
the four walls of the kitchen. The

dishes in the house, and from a nail

We were in need of a stirring game
to entertain the young college man of
the family and a dozen or more of his
college chums. Most of the ordinary
games We knew of were quite out of

too quiet or too brain-taxing.
After an infinite amount Of discuss

upon an evening of football, which
scored an unquestioned success. Our

New York SUM-

We must say that there seems to be a
rood deal of hubdub about the present
tussIe for the Democratic nomination for
Governor OF virginaia. The Hon. A. j.
Montague, attorney general, is going
about the State asking for the nomina-
ton because he is opposed to the Demo
cratic machine, the boss Of which is the
Hon. Thomas S. Martin, one OF the Sena-
tors in Congress. There is no doubt
about the soIidity and smoothness OF the
Martinian machine. Pray, how did the
yirtuous Mr.. Montague get his present
lob? He is a machine-made product, and
he is no especially dignihed figure as
he makes faces at his creator.

The eighth annual convention Of the

X. b. Garrett, OF Portsmouth, welcomed
the delegates. There are ebout 200

There are over 10000 members.
The openingfeature Of the second days
session was the sunrise prayer meeting,
led by Rev. Ed j. Richardson, Of Sa-
luda.
Rev. DR. Chiyers, national president, said
that the Baptists are anxious TO get the
little ones into the church, but they
neglect them after thi- is accomplished.
Systematic and orderly training, supple
menting the work Of the Sunday-chools,
is the aim OF the junior unions. Junior
unions, he declared, give pastors oppor-
tunity to talk at parents over children's
heads.

the session was the question box, con .

be far better to have a pastor who did
not sympathize with the young folks in

have the young folks themselves do so.
