 ''Waiter, 1 didn't ask you for hot water; please bring me glass of ice water" &E
 By the time the astonished waiter had brought this the water in the first tumbler was nearly frozen sol idly, ice bulging above the tumbler's s rim, glass and ice both chilled to about 200 degrees below zero.
 ''Now there's too much ice in this glass; put it in little water please, :" said the professor, passing the iceberg to the waiter, who eyed him sus piciously but took the tumbler in his hand without first looking at it. When he beheld the ice his eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped as though it had a ball-bearing hinge. Another opening and another drop quickly followed-the low tempera- ture of what his hand held causing him to give forth a yell that was no respector of dining rooms, and to drop the congealed water as if it was red hot iron. He fled for the kitchen.
 ''For de Ian sake alive, dat man in dare must be de debbil hisself or neah kin shuah. I know when I got 'nough and I don't go neah him no more-not if he done starves entirely"-and he was true to his assertion; though he afterwards admitted ''perhaps he's only one of those hypnotesters."

MASONIC INSTALLATION.

 With Interesting Ceremonies.

New Officers on Saturday Night
 With Interesting Ceremonies.
 The anniversary of St. John the Evangelist was fittingly observed by Aztlan Lodge No. 1, F. < 4. M., at Masonic hall, Saturday night. The occasion having been appointed for the installation of the newly elected and appointive officers. the member ship of the lodge was well represented and a number of visiting brethren were present. Morris Goldwater, act ing as installation officer, proceeded to induct the new officers, delivering the ceremonial addresses to honored brothers in an impressive and pleas ing manner. The following officers will officiate during the ensuing year: A. A. Johns. W. M; c. A. Peter, s. w; W. M. Claypool, J. w.; F. G. Brecht, Treasurer; Morris Goldwater, Secretary; Rev. F. T.

Barnhart comprise the Committee on Examination.
 At the conclusion of the installation ceremonies, Worshipful Master Johns, in a very felicitous style, thanked the membership for the signal honor that it had seen proper to confer upon him. Other officers expressed their appreciation in happily worded veins and thus the formalities of the even ing came to a close. This did not, however, complete an informal pro gram that had been prepared by the retiring master of the lodge, A. D. Barnhart, and his assistants, for i'm mediately after adjournment of the lodge, preparations began for two fold feast-the inner man and the soul. The banquet table was ladened sumptuously with whole some food, and those present fingered long at the repast. Worship ful Master Johns, as tOastmaster, opened the intellectual feast by pay ing high and deserving tribute to the worth of the retiring master of the lodge, A. D. Barnhart; and the sentiments expressed by him were heartily seconded by the brethren present. At this point the toast-mas- ter referred to a program that had

Exhibition for Free Reading Room to Be Given in Prescott
 Next Tuesday.

Prof. W. B. Patty, the liquid air expert will give an exhibition with this wonderful substance at the opera house next Tuesday evening, Decem- Der 3O No substance has ever been discovered which produces so many contradictory effects as liquid air, as it burns steel, boils on ice, freezes alcohol, freezes quicksilver, and sores of other things can be done with it, and yet it is harmless sub stance, flowing like water. The War ren, Ohio, Tribune tells of walters experience with Prof Patty at the above town.
 A rare steak was among the things ordered and the same was soon on the table before Wizard Patty who, while the waiter was bringing the coffee, poured little liquefied air over the steak, quickly freezing it as hard as a rock.
 ''Waiter, where's the steak 1 order ed? And what is this you have brought mel" said MT. P, tapping the adamantine piece of COW with his knife, while a we'll assumed air of indignation masked his usually happy countenance.
 ''I d-don't k-know, boss, ''the waiter faltered; "I did't do it." and he started for the head waiter who quick ly appeared.
 "Does your hotel usually serve steak this way?" and Mir. Patty picked up the meat between two fingers and struck it with a knife, causing it to ring like bell.
 'No-I don't-perhaps it is that fool of a cook; he's new man. I'll find out what it means,'' and he hur- ried with the icy beef to the kitchen, where consternation reigned for a while.
 Mir. Patty unobservedly turned a lit tie from his bottle into the tumbler of water, which being nearly 400 de- grees warmer than the liquid air, the

 The Journal Miner is in receipt of copy of the Cincinnati Enquirer of recent date which contains a mention of E.
