AIR RENEWING APPARATUS IN POSITION. wise irrespirable, in mephitic gases as we'll as in water, and, though this has been done by a number of devices, in all of them 1t has been necessary after a short time, say an hour, to employ a pump to re-enforce them with air. But in the arrangement of the above named inventors the appliance itself suffices, for 1t manufactures new air as 1t is needed without the intervention of any auxiliary machinery.
 The apparatus is is,composed of three distinct parts combined into one. There Is a prismatic steel box to con- tain and distribute the binoxide of sodium as it may be required, which is divided into compartments by ten hori- zontal shelves, one above the other. Each of these carries supply of the chemical. With them there Is connect ed a clockwork movement which causes each one to tilt in succession at definite intervals of time. This causes the contents to fall into a cubical steel box containing water, and a small fan actuated by an electric motor operated by accumulators produces a continuous circulation of the vitiated and regener- ated air in the apparatus and in the small space inclosing the subject. As the air becomes somewhat heated in the process of its regeneration it is made to pass in its exit through a re- frigeratory, which reduces 1t to its nor nal temperature.

 The name of France Is derived from the Franci or Franks, q people of Ger many who seized that part of the country nearest the Rhine and settled there. Later on they subdued Paris and made that the royal seat of their increasing empire.
 The origin of other geographical names is interesting and will serve to enllghten us when we read of, for in- stance. Hibernia for Ireland. Hibernia is said to be derived from a Phoni- elan word meaning "farthest habita- tion," there being no country known to them west of Erin.
 Portugal obtained its name from Por- to, the haven or port where the Gauls landed their stores. This is Oporto, called by the Portuguese O Porto (the porD. The town was given as a dowry to Teresa when she married Henry de Lorraine. who styled himself Earl of Portugal because the place was known as the portus Gallorum (the port of the Gauls). The name was finally extend ed to the whole country.
 Russia took its denomination from the Rossi, or Russi, a people of the south of Russia, who possessed them selves of the country in the declining days of the Greek empire. Being the predominant inhabitants, they imposed their name on all the rest.

TROLLEY TRUST GOES UP.
Eyerett-Moore Syndicate In Hand
 

Everett-MOOre Syndicate In Hands
 of a Committee.
 The financial affairs of the Ever ett-Moore syndicate of Cleveland, O., owning or controlling several urban and interurban electric railways and an extensive system of local and long distance telephone lines in Ohio and Michigan, with a capitalization of $130, 100000, have passed into the com- trol of a committee of seven prominent bankers of this city as the result of the financial embarrassment of the syn dicate, which has for some time been affected by the stringency in the mon ey market. It is one of the largest trolley syndicates in the world.
 The committee now in charge Is con- posed of Messrs. H. R. Newcomb, My ron T. Herrick, Kaufman Hays, W. C.. Mather, J. F. Sullivan, Calvary Morris and E. G. Tillotson, all of whom are connected with leading banks. Acting for the Cleveland creditors, mainly banks which hold syndicate collateral, the committee has already instituted an investigation to determine the con- dition of the various properties.
 In the meantime the Cleveland banks have granted an extension of eighteen months to the syndicate, and Messrs. Everett and Moore and their associ- ates will go ahead with their projects under the direction of the committee = ~H.ecce will act in an advisory capacity.

A Street Parable.

A little girl stood at a window blow ing soap bubbles. Beneath stood a lit tie boy, and as she blew bubbles to- ward him he tried to catch them. They broke and disappeared on all sides, but the two laughed and kept up the game, she smiling down and he gazing upward eagerly.
 Behold, a parabler' said a man to a woman. "The eternal relation of the sexesl You blow beautiful bubbles down to us from your height, and we weary ourselves in trying vainly to catch them. Poor little boyw
 The pair played and laughed in the sunshine until the boy grew tired. Ha called out "Goodbyw gayly and ran away to play with other boys and girls in the street. The girl looked after him wistfully, a shadow on her face. She did not care to blow bubbles any more She leaned out to watch him, and as she did so she tipped over the bowl of soapy water. She looked very lonely.
 Behold, parablew said the woman to the man. He has tired of the game; not she. There is no other little boy to blow bubbles to. and if there were she has no pretty bubbles left to blow. Eternal relation of sexesi Poor little girlr'-New York Tribune.

 'T will take my chances" You've heard him say 1t when asked to join, says The Beehive. What a courageous man! What risks he assumes with a smilel Ought we not to take our hats off to such a dauntless soul7 He really thought he was taking the chances when he refused to insure his life for the protection of his family. But the fact was he was leaving others to take the chances" Death came all unexpected.
 Maccabeeism has become great conservative force by reason of its system of insurance protection It is a civilizing and Christianizing factor be- cause of its plan of enforcing by pre- cept and example the duty of being truly fraternal and brotherly.

Hunt Judge Morris.

On one occasion, in trying an abduc- tion case, Lord Morris, once chief jus tice of Ireland, addressed the jury as follows: "I am compelled to direct you to find verdict of guilty in this case, but you whl easily see that l think it is trifiing thing, which l regard as quite unfit to occupy my time. It Is more valuable than yours. At any rate, 1t is much better paid for. Find, there fore, the prisoner guilty of abduction, which rests, mind ye, on four points the father was not ayerse, the mother was not opposed, the girl was willing and the boy was conyaynient."
 The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the judge sentenced him to remain in the dock till the rising of the court Hardly had he delivered sentence than, turning to the sheriff, Lord Morris said: "Let us go," and. looking at the prisoner, he called across the court, Marry the girl at once, and God bless YOU both"

He planted that twig, and from 1t came all the weeping will lows of England and America; and your smallest planting of good may un- tai and International.
