ARTIFICIAL AIR.
A New and Ln geniOus Process for Pro-
 ducing Oxygen from Solid ...V Substance.

The progress of invention in sub marine navigation has stimulated eff forts to produce oxygen by cheaper and easier methods. If oxygen, the vital clement in air, can be supplied as wanted, the length of time that men can remain under water may be indefi- nitely prolonged. A process of making oxygen, invented by George F. Jaubert, French scientist, promises to answer the requirement., says Science. His object was to find solid substance which would produce oxygen as cal cium carbide produces acetylene gas. He selected for the purpose a peroxide of sodium, or of potassium, which can be cheaply manufactured by electro chemical means. It is called "oxy- lithe," and is made in little cubes and pellets, some only half an inch in diam eter. When decomposed with water it gives off oxygen. Two or three ounces of this substance supply enough oxy- gen to enable diver to remain under water for an hour. By suitable appa- ratus the carbonic oxide produced by respiration is withdrawn into the oxy- gen generator, and fresh oxygen takes it's place.

They seem already to be a fixed type,' he says. tThey are the hewers of wood and drawers of water for the class just above them. They are ambitionless, improvident, ig- norant, sometimes not able to read or write, loose in family relations Gone or the greatest curses, by the way, in the state), socially corrupt, given to hard-cider drinking and sometimes the opium habit. visited a. dilapidat- ed house of about four or five rooms, in which dwelt the old patriarch of the tribe (perhaps 60 years o1d), with his wife, son and an orphan grandson as one family.

A CHILL FRANCHISE.
Peculiar Qualifications Required of Voters in 9 Certain Ili-
 nols Town.

What constitutes a legal residence and entities one to vote has been often a matter of dispute. In his ''Recollections" John M. Palmer tells an amusing story of the peculiar credentials accepted by 8 certain town in the west.
 The town was in Illinois. One \ot the qualifications required of voter was residence in the state for six months previous to the election. On one occasion a man named Hoskins appeared for registration; but when asked how long he had lived in the state, confessed that the time was somewhat less than six months.
 The registration officer, after tell. ing him he had not been in the state long enough, hesitated g moment then asked if he had had the chills.'
 "Yes, had one yesterday" said Hoskins, ''and feel one coming or now"
 "Put him down." said the clerk tc his assistant. "The chills are as good as six months residence!"
 MT. Hoskins's name was thereupor placed on the list.

HEALTH OFFICERS TRIALS.
Specimens of the Ordinary Come DIaints Daily Received by the
 Depar tnaent Officials.

Though the ordinary routine of the city health office is serious enough and strenuous enough, the situation is not without it's humorous side. The humor is invariably of the unconscious sort, resultant from a popular idea that the department combines all the qualities of a bureau of information, a police force, an arbiter of family difficulties and general efficacious Jack of All Trades, to be called in on every occa- sion. The health office, besides receiv- ing daily calls, both personal and tele- phonic, from cranks of all stages and degrees, gets letters innumerable and of character that would have made Solomon himself throw up the sponge in despair, says the Washington Times, or else get the benefit of the humor they contain.
 Here are few requests received in the course of days mail by the office:
 Why don't you move the dead cat in front of our house?
 My neighbor shakes her rug out of the window every Friday.
 We can't get any water on the top floor of our house.

 Why don't you make them keep the ventilators shut?

stockholder in the Diamond Mining company. Consequently he was a man whom James Franklin would be likely to control. In order to satisfy myself I went to Kernigan. He's a politician, as everybody knows, and likes to keep on good terms with all men, and he told me quietly that Col. Franklin had requested my dismissal and the appointment of my successor, and that he was under such obliga- ton to the colonel that he could not refuse to use what little influence he had with the mayor. I then went to Col Franklin and asked him why he had requested Kernigan to bring about my dismissal. We'll, by playing one against the other I secured the Information I desired-namely, that Co1. Franklin was at the bottom of my dismissal, and that it was all on account of my distasteful activity in the Wright case. From that time on Col Franklin played very important part in all my considerations; and every effort of mine was directed to- ward unmaking him.

CANOPIED FIELDS.
Many Acres of Tobacco in the Con- necticut Valley Covered with
 Big Tents.

Travellers in the Connecticut valley may some etimes see many acres covered with white cheesecloth supported, at a height of nine feet from the ground, on 8 framework of posts and wires. Under these vast tents Sumatra to- bacco is grown. Experiments conduct ed by the department of agriculture led to the use of this system of protect ing the tobacco plants, and the results have been found excellent. The light, sandy soil along the Connecticut river Is we'll suited for the growth of Sumat- ra tobacco. The; United States govern ment furnishes the seed and super vises the cultivation, preparation and sale of the product, the farmers paying the cost and receiving the profit. That the great cloth canopies can withstand storms was proved a year ago last July, when hail-storm caused much damage to crops in open fields, but the acres of covered tobacco escaped in jury. The cost of the shade is from $26C to $360 per acre.

surgeons found he was suffering from severe contusions of the legs and body.
 The horse ran down Fifth avenue to Seventy-eighth street, where it turned east, scattering home-going crowds and causing excitement at the crossings of the Madison avenue and Lexington avenue trolley lines. Fifty men and boys gave chase, and were not far behind when the horse reached the block between Lexington avenue and Third avenue. The po- lice believe that the horse was mad dened with fear when it turned swiftly to the south sidewalk and made for the stoop at 164, where the four children were sitting.
 They had watched the horse ap- proach, but were caught unawares as it ran straight toward them. Evelyn caught her sisters hand and dragged Grace in through the open doors Lena Efschitz and Alice Forster were close behind. The chil- dren ran through the vestibule and had reached the hall when the horse took the four steps leading to the street at a bound.
 Evelyn had climbed nearly to the head of the stairs when she heard Grace scream. The horse, carried by the momentum of it's leap up the stoop, went up the stairs and appar- ently snapped at Grace, catching and tearing her dress and bruising her leg. It then tumbled back to the landing and started down the hall where Lena Lifschitz was overtaken and knocked down. Mrs. Lifschitz had heard the commotion and grasping her daughter, dragged her into their flat.
 The driver of coal cart and his helper had seen the horse dash into the house and followed. It was kick ing and biting savagely when they got it by the bridle and backed it out into the street. The tenants in the house were almost panic-stricken by the uproar. Mrs. Joseph Dahlinger wife of the janitor, who lives in the basement, said: "I thought the house was falling when heard the noise overhead"
 Father Eagan sent word that he would make good any damage the l horse had done in the house.
