CHEAP OXYGEN.
Every Invalid Can Now Have Sup
ply Through New Process.

From the New York Tribune.
Inst now the most common use to which
Oxygen is put is to revive invalids who are
in great state of exhaustion BY breath
ing this gas they are greatly invigorated for
the time. Oxygen is also taken aloft for a
similar purpose by aeronauts who expect to
ascend to unusual heights, where the lack
of density OF the air would be prostrating.
But II 1t could be produced in much less
expensive manner than hitherto 1t would
also be used In many metallurgical pro-
cesses Pictet, French chemist who has
had great experience in nquefying gases
pointed out several years ago that II air

managed the nitrogen OF the mixture could
be almost entirely eyaporated ahead OF the

eight parts Of nitrogen to one Of oxygen.

Some Man Wrote This.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.

rFUm the IQldUelpnla Telegraph
There Is an Indian god who ought to be
an object lesson to every woman. He Is a
remarkable god in bronze, the most re-
markable thing about him being his five
hands, which he manages just beautifully.
One Of these is placed over his mouth, one
over each eye, and one over each ear. He
sees nothing, hears nothing, says nothing
This attitude Is delightful In god; in q
woman 1t is simply superb. II women only
had five hands apiece and would use them
cheeks and hollow eyes, fewer broken en-
gagements, and almost no divorces. Any
woman can see through her husband, but
only the wise and clever can pretend not to
see through him. Faith in a husband must
be like faith in religion, absolute or not at
all. The woman who believes In her hus-
band unquestionably Is as much happier
spouse. listens for his latchkey. and gives
him her opinion regarding his little short
comings, as is the person who has unflinc-
ing faith in God and church; than the ag-
nostic who has no Idea whether or not he
will ever reach heaven. and sees nothing on
earth to live for. 2IE
If all women had five hands and would
use them, they would never see their
friends husbands when and where they
shouldn't; they would never hear gossip
nor lie awake all night long to listen for a
latchkey, and they would never bore their
cadilloes to them or sobbing ont their jeal-

The stranger WAS astonished, but laughed

being a member Of the LIST Iowa. He was

The Holsters of Crusse's Island.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San francisco Chronicle.
From Robinson Crusoe's Island has come
a man looking for capital to invade the
quiet of the celebrated spot with a lobster
canning factory. He Is Juan Calasaff, a
Chilean, with up-to-date ideas regarding
what is necessary these days to place
a business enterprise on sound footing
and while ne knows where the toothsome
lobster abounds. he Is aware that money
Is quite essential TO the establishment of q
proper canning factory. He has the lob
sters. and he is looking for the man of
money.
caiasaff lives on Juan Fernandez, uttliz-
ing all the resources but the lobster beds
and brings a roseate account Of the posi-
bilities that are open to any enterprising
American who will engage with him in
marketing the product of the island waters
Few spots In the world have such an
abundance of Holsters, says Calasaff, and
the open season of nine mouths there
makes 1t possible to gather 4 great har-
vest. There is a population Of $50 persons
on Juan Fernandez. but In all the island
there Is nobody with SUFFICIENT means to
take advantage Of the one great oppors
tunity TO get rich and add to the fame 81
Robinson Crusoe's land. So Calasaff has
come to the grand republic OF the north,
as the Chileans call It. to finance the en-
terprise.

der favorable conditions A cubic meter is
equivalent to 1851 cubic feet, or about LOCO
quarts Of fully expanded gas. To make pure
oxygen would take at least twice as much
power.
An entirely different method of obtaining
oxygen has recently been announced by a
Frenehman named Jaubert. It is some
what analogous to that by which acetylene
is evolved from q piece Of calcium carbide
when the latter is placed in water. Jau-
bert has found that peroxide OF sodium or
potassium can be thus employed. 1t should
be used in apparatus like an acetylene gem
orator, to confine the gas when made. The
peroxide IL now manufactured In France In
tiny blocks. which are ready for use at
moments notice. This substance, known
there as oxylithe, may some day be as
cheap as 10 cents a pound A pound Of 1t
will produce from rs to 125 literS OF gas.
The Htere differ but slightly from the
English quart. Jauberts process seems to
be q little more expensive than Lnde's but
1t probably produces q purer article.

A CLEVER FORGER.
And How Ginger" Got His Money
Back, Although Mr.. Theiler
Was Not SO Lucky.

"Say, Ginger, old man, don't you
recognize me?' said a man by the
name of P. ]. Robinson, as he walked
into the store of Eugene Carroll, the
genial halter on Park Place one day
recently. "Oh, yes, replied Mr..
Carrell, excusing himself to friend
with whom he was conversing' seems
to me | recognize you for about
$6. y Robinson is an agent for a near
by shrubbery and nursery greenhouse
and some time ago purchased mer-
chandise of Mr.. Carrell amounting to
$6, which bill he failed to pay.
Well I'll tell you, said Robin
son, L want to pay that bill, but
haven't anything with me excepting
a check for $23 indorsed by Mr.. Nay
lor of Madison and drawn on the
First National Bank of that place. I"
To help Robinson out, Mr.. Carrell
offered to cash the check, but found
that he could at that time spare but
81 making $40 including the $6 which
was due him, Robinson then left
saying that he would be around in
the morning for the remaining $1S.
A short time after he disappeared,
Mr. Carrell called up the Madison
bank over the telephone and was in
formed that no man by the name of
Naylor lived in the town and that the
check was worthless. The police
were notified and Officer Naughton
captured Robinson afterward on
Morris street. The prisoner returned
the $40 to Mr. Carrell who refused
to make charge. 1t has just been
learned that Robinson also passed a
worthless check on July at A. W.
Theiler's saloon for $2S. The police
think they have a clue as to his
whereabouts.
