that the man had been struk by car but
upon examination such proved not to be the

The dead man. according to an address
on an envelope found in his pocket, is
james Montgomery of Elensburg. On his
head was found ten contusions made by
some blunt instrument. any one of which
would have knocked him ssnseless.
Further investigation shows that a quar-

blood marks around for a considerable dis
tance. Also a handkerchief and glove con-
tanning stone were found. proving be-

been held up by thugs and robbed and that

EIOslen Etiquette.

All true Moslems when eating must
begin with salt and finish with vine
gar. If they begin with salt, they will
escape the contagion Of seventy dis
eases. If they finish with vinegar,
their worldly prosperity will continue
to increase. The host is in etiquette
bound to be the first to start eating
and the last to leave off. Tooth pick
ing is considered an act Of grace in
the true Moslem, for the angel Gabriel
is reported to have brought tooth
pick from heaven for the prophet after
every meal. The priests recite certain
passages Of the Koran before and after
lunch and dinner, and also before
drinking water at any hour Of the day.

Liquid oxygen when first formed is
milky in appearance owing to the pres
encc Cf sCme impurity which may he
removed by passing it through ordi-
nary filter paper. When pure, it is of
q pale blue color, which, however, Is
not due, as some have thought, to the
presence of liquid ozone, which is Of Il
dark blue color. Liquid oxygen is a
nonconductor of electricity, but is
strongly magnetic. 1t may be lifted
from cup by presenting the poles of
n strong electro magnet. 1t seems to
have very slight chemical activity,
since it will extinguish lighted match
and has no action OH a piece Of phos-
phorus dropped into it. 1t is well
known that the A and b lines Of the
solar spectrum are due to oxygen. and
from experiments on the top of Mont
Blanc it is thought they are largely if
not wholly due to the oxygen in the
earth's atmosphere. Professor Dewar
showed that these lines come out very
strong when liquid oxygen is inter-
posed in the path Of the rays from an
electric lamp.

perhaps because Of its name than its

Germans account for 1t by quite a pa

when the latter asked her gallant gay"
to pluck for her tiny blue flower
which she saw growing in the stream.

knight, overbalancing, fell into the riy-

the bank and the weight of his own ar

Visitors to the national capital this
winter have missed William Henry
Mi.burn. the blind chaplain of the SEN
ate who for half p.sntury has been
one or the interesting personalities of
the nations legislative halls. The re-
tirerlent Of the blind chaplain is due to
advancing age. Mr.. Milburn having
passed his seventy-ninth birthday.
MIR. Milburn had the misfortune to
lose his left eye when lad of five.
After years of partial blindness the
sight left his right eye, leaving him in
total darkness. He Is native Of Phil
adelphia, but carly In life went to ILL

chaplain Of congress the first time. On
board an Ohio river steamer he Glanced
TO meet some congressman on their way
to Washington.
"As several Of thad)s" he says. s.were
