The Science of Llnht.

BY Sir Hiram Maxim in Harpers Weekly
Cheap commercial acetylene gas was
discovered by accident. Wilson, a
scientific experi-lenter, believed that
nearly all metallic oxides could be re-
duced to metallic state by heating
them to an extremely high tempera-
ture by the voltaic arc in the presence
of free carbon. Aluminium had been
successfully reduced in this way Mr..
Wilson wished to obtain metallic cal
eium. He therefore mixed a Quantity
of quiclllime wit pulyerized coke, and
brought the mixture to high temper
ature by the action of the voltaic arc.
He expected to obtain a white metal
but instead he appeared to produce
nothing but Stag. This was thrown
into the yard, and one day at noon
while the boys were having their
luncheon tLey picked up these bits of
Stag and tarc them at each other
One piece Tell in pail of water, and
produced a bubbling effect and a
strong odor. This attracted Mr.. Will
sons attention, and upon investigation
he found that the strong-smel1ing gas
was extremely infammable. Further
investigation proved that it was pure
acetyiene.

Dog on the Pier.

From the New York World
An aggressive King Charles spaniel and
a French bull dog were the star perform

or statesmen were sailing the dogs got

ship.
A tall woman wearing a great fur boa

arms. Half way up they were met by a
brindle pup, with hanging chops and a
face that said: Don't monkey with me-
The King Charles. a pampered pet,
jumped from the woman's arms upon the
bulls back
The King Charles nipped the brindle,
and there was a fine row in a second. The
bull dog shook the spaniel off and grab
bling him by the neck, almost tossed him
from the gangplank.
The woman pulled so hard at the leash
that her little dogs collar slipped over his
head and he was free.
confusion of dogs rolled down the
plank to the accompaniment of a sonata
of ki-yis and fugue of growls
When they rolled on the pier the span
iel landed free and gamy. He began run
ming circles around the bull, nipping at
his heavy. looping jaws, yawned for an
opening and said nothing.
The bulls owner, a big man with a fur
coat and silk hat. and the woman who
owned the spaniel got mixed up in the
fray.
The officers yelled for the woman to get
on the ship. but she would not desert her

The bull seized the screaming spaniel

II do not know that that has anything
to do with the question" replied Mr.
Crumpacker, amid democratic laughter.
In continuing. Mr.. Crumpacker declared
the Kentucky juries to have been
packed"
This met with heated denials from Rep

all of Kentucky
At the last trial of Caleb Powers, Mr..
Crumpacker insisted that he had not a

that governors of states were not re-

Mr.. Crumpacker differed on this poinC
and declared his story would Justify the

Mr.. Williams followed Mr.. Crumpacker,
combating the idea that the Kentucky
jurors were corrupt and rotten. a''In some
respects he said. "the speech of Mr..
Crumpacker was disgrace TO American

President Mckinley. to help hold up the
hands of his true and loyal successor. I
am told that his successor is not popular

In closing. he said:
