COAL OIL IN CHUNKS.
Petroleum Pressed Into Bricks for
Convenient Use.

Attempts to solidify petroleum
have been numerous. but up to the
present have not been by any means
duced by Mr.. Helbing, however, a
medium has been discovered which
will hold from 80 to 95 per cent of
petroleum. The advantages of such a
preparation are numerous and con-
siderable. The discovery OF Mr., Hell
bling. a London chemist is the out
come of prolonged work, and provides
product which, while possessing all
the advantages common to petroleum,
has not its disadvantage Of easy in
flammability of its vapors and difficult
ty of transport and storage.
Moreover, the solid petroleum, when
lighted, burns with an absolutely quiet
and uniform flame, does not run,
and Is consumed practically to the
last atom, only trace of ash being
left
AS a demonstration, a piece of sol.
idified petroleum was placed in a

Her Despair and Unwomanly Degrade
tion A HAY story.
/ do not think Swift ever cared for
Vanessa and much incline to believe
that he was never married to Stella,
says a writer in recent issue of the
Contemporary Review. Cadenus had
his weak points; he did not disdain to
be adored and Vanessa, poor thing, was
vain and flighty. The wildness which
she betrayed in her letters can scarcely
be matched, except in that amazing

rendered by any translation | have
ever seen. But, to use the Gallo phrase
she was at the expense of 1t herself.
One Is reminded of the line, apollo
flies and Daphne holds the chase" were
1t not that Apollo fingered trihe too
long to write verses which he had bet
ter have left unwritten. The chase
went on for how many years? And how
did 1t end? In despair on the part of
Vanessa, in beartbreak and unwomanly
degradation. Yes, it is sad story; but
one must not charge Swift with hav-
ing acted as a deceiver, unless he was
married long ago to another woman:
then, indeed, 1t will be hard, though not
absolutely impossible to defend him.
None can tell what passed between
the dean and Vanessa during their last
Interview. Scott has given, but upon
the merest hearsay, an account of 1t
which, | suppose, we could all repeat
If called upon by heart Yes; but would
either of these proud persons have torn
down the screen that hid their misery,
in such case? Not Swift, we may be
sure. And If Vanessa was thunder
struck with the news of marriage ia
tai to her, why did she not publish that
as well as the poem she held in her
possession? The scene is fine piece
of tragedy and will always be told. Dut,
like many another legend, it fades, I'M

nourished schemes He was at home
again, incognito and rich; presently he
could enter his fathers house by means
OF the pass-key, which he had piously
preserved through all his wanderings;
he would throw down the borrowed
money; there would be reconciliation,
the details Of which he frequently ar
ranged; and he saw himself. during
the next month, made welcome in many
stately houses at many frigid dinner
parties, taking his share In the con-
Iversation with the freedom of the man
and the traveller and laying down the
law upon finance with the authority OF
the successful investor. But this pro-
gram was not to be begun before even
ing-not till just before dinner. indeed,
at which meal the reassembled family
were to sit roseate. and the best wine,
the modern fatted calf, should flow for
the prodigal's return.
Meanwhile he walked familiar
streets, merry "reminiscences crowding
round him, sad ones also, both with
the same surprising pathos, The keen
frosty air; the low. rosy, wintry sun;
the castle, hailing him like an old ac-
quaintance; the names OF friends on
door, lates the sight of friends whom
he seemed to recognize. and whom he

well, ta-ta," concluded Beatson, and
he shook hands again and went.
This was cruel first experience. 1t
was idle to blink facts: here was John
home again, and Beatson-Old Beatson
did not care rush. He recalled Old
Beatson In the past-that merry and az
fectionate lad--and their Joint adven-
lures and mishaps, the window they
had broken with a catapult in India
Place, the escalade Of the castle rock,
and many another inestimable bond OF
friendship; and his hurt surprise grew
deeper. Well. after all, 1t was only on
a mans own family that he could count;
blood was thicker than water, he re-
membered; and the net result of this
encounter was to bring him to the door
step of his fathers house, with tenderer
and softer feelings.
The night had come; the fanlight over
the door shone bright; the two win
dows OF the dining-room where the
cloth was being laid, and the three win
dows OF the drawing-room where Maria
would be waiting dinner glowed soft
Tier through yellow blinds. 1t was like
vision OF the past. All this time of his
absence, life had gone forward with an
equal foot and the fires and the gas
had been lighted, and the meals spread,
at the accustomed hours. At the accus-
toned hour, too, the bell had sounded
thrice to call the family to worship.
And at the thought a pang OF regret
for his demerit seized him: he remem-
bered the things that were good and
that he had neglected, and the things
that were evil and that he had loved ;
and 1t was with prayer upon his lips
that he mounted the steps and thrust
the key into the key-hole.
He stepped into the lighted hall, shut
the door softly behind him, and stood
there fixed in wonder No surprise of
strangeness could equal the surprise of
that complete familiarity. There was
the bust of Chalmers near the stair
ratings, there was the clothes brush in
the accustomed place: and there, on the
hat-stand, hung hats and coats that
must surely be the same as he remem-
bered. Ten years dropped from his life,
as pin may slip between the fingers:
and the ocean and the mountains, and
the mines, and crowded marts and
mingled races Of San Francisco. and
his own fortune and his own disgrace.
