oppose any man with the slightest
chance of securing the Democratic
nomination. Recently the particulars
of conversation he had with Senator
Blackburn have leaked out. He op-
posed Parker Hill, German, Cleveland
and Omey, which left blackburn with
nothing to suggest. Then the senator
turned on him and demanded that he
name a man. This after q time. Mr..
Bryan did. He is Walter Clark, of
North Carolina. He probably knows
that Clark has about as much chance of

Interesting Operation Of Taking Il From

the Air for Use.
Philadelphia Record. f S sssg5
! A plant for the manufacture of oxygen
to be used in charging it's distilled water
was put In operation recently at an Ice
plant in Los Angeles, Cal. s Oxygenated
water, is now being prescribed by physi-
clans in certain. diseases, and hence q
oxygen in the atmosphere becomes a
matter Of impmtanee.i The process en- !.
ployeds by the Los Angeles company is
based on the principle that d certain
chemical ompound-rnan of soda
readily parts with the oxygen it con-
tains when subjected to the action of a
Jet Of steam. A blast of air. on the
residuum reforms it into manganate sof
soda, this chemical possessing the peculiar
property Of absorbing oxygen from the
atmosphere, parting with it when exposed
to steam. and being reformed again upon
exposure to the air. The process may be
continued indefinitely, when the ingredi-
ents are placed in the retort and the
proper connections from air and steam
made. No more chemicals are required
It may be likened to dipping a sponge
in, water, squeezing it dry and then re-
peating the operation indefinitely:
{ Oxygen made by this process, it Is
claimed contains noagas other than oxy-
gen, and no elements of any description
OIuSr imam SIlSnC traces OF atmospheric
nitrogen. Hence it requires no. washing.
to free it from chlorine, nor any purifca :
ton whatever. The product is oxygen
and nothing else. The oxygen. direct
from the .retorts, is stored in gasometers
and then forced into distilled water by
means Of a Twitchell carbonating ma
chine, which pumps the water and oxy-
gen at the same time, thoIoly agitatfng
both before bottling. The bottling Is
done under q pressure of sixty pounds.

0. A, johnson Tells Of Successful
Trip to Honduras Where Gold
Is Abundant.

Is o.. A. u ohnson, heretofore a farmer
l in Clay county, minnesota, has Just
Ireturned ffrom Honduras, where he has
i been buying gold mines that belonged
to the spanish conquerors 400 years
ago.
Mr.. Johnson left San Francisco last
May. He found Honduras an excel
lent country for mining Investments:
| Few Americans, however have taken
advantage Of the opportunities. Some
OF the best known American miners in
Honduras are negroes. In the depart
Ement of Santa Barbara, northwest
Honduras, one colored man owns a
placer mine for which 100000 has
been offered him. The whole district
bears traces of having been worked
by the early Spanish discoveries or
I by the natives themselves at a period
still more remote. Not far from the
negroes mine, Mr.. Johnson bought
several placers from which he brings
back gold assaying SIS. He also se-
cured from another negro in north
| eastern Nicaragua, close to the south
east border of Honduras, a haIf-in-
Fterest in a. quartz mine likely to prove
profitable.
| AS soon as he has secured mining
machinery and additional capital Mr..
Johnson will return to Honduras. The
| mining laws there, he says are lib
eral: Upon sixty acres of mining
lands he is taxed only $3.50 a year.
On the output of the mines he will
pay nothing. Mining machinery can
be imported free of duty.
