THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1s, 1908.

Speaking of the manufacture of wa ter gas, a writer of considerable exper. fence in such matters has the follow ing to say: 1t has long been known that when steam Is passed over red hot carbon in the form of charcoal or coke, preferably the latter for practi- cal purposes, as it is much cheaper, de- composition takes place and a combus- hble% gas of high heating power is pro duced, but knowing the fact and mak- ing 1t of practical utility are two very different things. and often very far apart. The chemical change which takes place is very simple. Water is compound of the two gases, hydro gen and oxygen, the former of which when free being. highly combustible. when the water, in the form of steam. is passed over hot carbon, the carbon acts as a reducing agent, exactly as it does when 1t is used for the reduction or metallic oxides, takes up the carbon to form carbon monoxide, and liberates the element with which the oxygen was previously combined, in this ca SC hydrogen, and both the hydrogen lib
 eraeed and the carbon monoxide formed are combustible gases.

Protests against roughness are an ball. "Rowdyism" is one of those stereotyped terms. easy to throw, re- quiring no brain power in the projec- tor, and not likely to lnjure the recipd- ent. Brutality is another phrase al- ways kept in stock. Editors turn out these expressions as merchants deliver soup in cans, says an exchange. Foot bali is, in some degree. rough game, but roughness is not in itself an evil The spirit in which the colleges play is virile friendliness, audaclous, hardy, not hostile or vindictive, and meanness or cruelty is one part in a hundred of the whole feeling. Talk about bull-, fights and gladiators is the violence Of empty thought and studied emphasis Many vacuous scribe, who honors horse racing with editorials, photo graphs and nrst-page news, racks the attic of his brain for handy missiles to hurl at game almost without taint of gambling, and exuberant with bodily
 
 and mental dash. Moreover, in cen sure of intercollegiate games. it Is often forgotten what ditfused play fol- lows in their wake. Glasses have their first and second elevens, one din- ing table challenges another, one soci- ety meets rival. and there are "scrub" elevens enough to accomno- date all who have the spirit Perhaps a few play excessively, but we notice that many 'star" of ten years, since is now laborious and earnest. He sell dom leads his class in brilliancy, but he is healthy and honest, little addicted to neuritis or race suicide. He is like 1 ly to be a good ancestor as we'll as | harmless citizen. An easy butt for 1 jest. he deserves gentler treatment. We must keep the virile spirit alive, and football hero, even if he fails in calculus, helps the race to keep it's l strength.

nurr,e and the Reporters.

James M. Barrie, the novelist, has no patience with reporters who try to pry into his private affairs. On one oc- casion he was asked to pen short auto biography. At first he refused and then, when the reporter began to coax him, he stopped him, took up his pen and wrote as follows: "On arrival in London 1t was MT. Barrie's first object to make a collection of choice cigars. Though the author of My Lady Nicotine does not himself smoke, his grocer's message boy does. MT. Barrie's pet animal Is the whale. He feeds 1t on ripe chestnuts.

The opening Of congress waa vary much like the opening of any congress mat has preceded 1t. The republican program went through slated. "Uncla Joe" Cannon was elected speaker ac- cording to schedule. and the Hon John sharp Williams of Mississippi was the nominee of the democratic party for speaker. As the defeated candidate for speaker. Mir Williams, was placed on the committee to escort in the, new speaker and his speech introducing the new speaker to the house of represen- tatives was the most graceful thing that has been heard on the floor of the house for many years. The daily pa pers all over the country have comment ed on it as such. Mir. Williams has al- ready made good the predictions of his friends that he is the man for the po- sition of floor leader of the house on the democratic side. He has had the good sense, as his friends knew he would have. to give his chief opponent, the Hon, Champ Clark of Missouri, the appointment on the ways and means committee, one of the highest honors that can come to democrat. Mir Will Hams not only showed his generosity by this action. but his good sense as well, for Mir Clark is one of the ablest democrats in the congress, and can do effective work against the Tenublican party in that position. - .

ON TRIAL FOR MUDRER.

Aspen, Jan. 26.-Tt day the trial of
Owen Thorn. charged with the mur-
der OF aJames Coutts. began in the
dist let court. Considerable difficult
ty was experienced in securing jury
but it was selected out of the first
venlre. Twenty one men had been
examined when the 12 who will hear
the case were chosen.
The physicians described the wound
and gave as their opinion that the
wound could not have been inflicted
by Coutts himself. and this gave the
key to the line of the defense. which
will be to show that the wound was
due to a TALL. The witnesses testified
to the finding of the BODY in the back
room of Thoms' feed store
Thorn and CQutts had been enemies
for years and it is claimed that Thorn
owed Coutts considerable amount of
money and that the latter was in
straitened circum stances. Thorn. it
is said. refused even to give Coutts a
ton of coal when he asked for the fuel
as part payment.
