AIRY.

I Among the numerous companies or corporations which have had mush- room like growth and then disappeared from view and which, being lost to Isight, leave no memories dear except lthe thought that they were dear in
 one sense, was the Liquid Air company
 in which so many people in New Haven and vicinity lost every cent they put linto it. There never was a company
 which disappeared more utterly and
 completely than did this one The li- Equid air craze company was all the |rage for few months. What wonders lit was to accomplish. Ice wasn't in 1t with liquid air for household use, and fnot only for refrigerating purposes but las a means of cooling houses in sum- liner and making people happy in vari- lous other ways. Liquid air was to
 turn al our wheels, heat our houses in lwinter, and cool them in summer--li- quid air was to destroy our garbage
 anesthetize all our pain, and usher in l q new era. It was soberly argued by
 men who made claim to scientific know
 ledge that liquid air could be used to
 run compressors to make more liquid
 air, and thus, with thimbleful at the
 start, force could be created strong I -.g5 .a.
 enough to pry the earth from its orbit. I Lectures on the marvels of liquid air
 were given here before large audiences
 to which stockholders Of the company I had free tickets In order that they might see demonstration of the won,
 derful things liquid air could do. Of
 course the lectures were all right and l liquid air was all right in itself, but
 for commercial uses and practical pur-
 poses such as earning dividends for in- lyestors, that was another matter. Many thousands of dollars were put into the liquid air company here and that was the end of it. It all went up in smoke, company and all, and no report was over made by the company to its stock holders and nobody knows where the money went to to this day except that lit went into the pockets of the liquid air company. its agents and promoters. The plant that it was announced would be located in this city never material ized and the stockholders have nothing to show for their money except a neat fly printed and engraved piece of paper commonly known as stock-certicfiate, 1 the value of which Is about one-hun- dreth part of a mill. It was about as
 slick gouge as was ever perpertrated.
 And now comes an item in the New
 York papers to the effect that judg-
 ment of $573 against some company
 owning the patent has been returned lunsatisfied-no money forthcoming and that a receiver has been applied for. We believe the company which op- lerated here did not even claim to own the patent but that it simply had an
 agency for certain territory.
 Liquid air is as wonderful as ever but
 wonderfulness is not usefulness and
 doesn't yield dividends.

though 1t ranks among state common ly elassed as doubtful, will not be a ilaggard .in the campaign. nor will 1t be missing in the line of republican states. Mfr. Roberts has ably filled the various important public positions he
 has occupied. is a thoroughly trained land genial official. and will call forth the full republican vote. Of his conn petitors. Mir. Cleaveland has already gracefully congratulated the winner. Both he and Governor Chamberlain made a gallant fight, and are ardent supporters of the ticket. The ticket as whole is strong one. and comments itself to the voters of the state. The campaign issues. both state and na- tional, are admirably and coneisely set ] forth in the resolutions adopted, and they present and define the issues in a nutshell. and with this presentation of 1 facts the voters have the case well and handsomely before them. No ar- guments are needed. A plain state ment of facts tells the story. The rec ord of republican administrations in our own state is endorsed and pointed to- with pride" as the campaign phrase goes. and justly so.. The record needs no apologies. The affairs of our state, under republican management have been conducted with wisdom, prudence and success" Some of the more notable things that have been done by republican administrations are briefly recited. It Is a record to be proud of, and which rebounds to the honor of the party. The labor question comes in also for consideration and it is recommended that additional power be conferred by the next general assembly upon the state board of mediation and arbitration The resolutions deserve the careful attention of all interested in the welfare of our little, but notable and historic state. When the votes are counted next November 1t will be found that unless all signs fail, Connecticut is still in the republican column. and that she is there with both feet.

l September 12 was "Old Defender $
 Day" in Baltimore. that eity's own hol- liday. It has been celebrated annually
 for nearly a century, and 1t has always
 been celebrated with enthusiasm, be-
 cause the event cornmen1orated is wor- 1 thy of 1t. Concerning this celebration | the Baltimore Sun narrstes as follows: "The battle of North Point, If we judge l by the number of casualties, was but a skirmish, but 1t saved one of the principal cities of the United States from capture and possible destruction.
 A short time before the British landed at North Point they had captured and sacked Washington, committing the vandalism of burning public buildings iand libraries. The British Admiral
 Cockburn and General Ross, in their ldepredations along the coast, and espe- lcially in their destruction of private property and their maltreatment of in- d1vtduals, had gained an unenviable reputation. The people of Baltimore determined to save the city and they had the aid of the militia of the sur- rounding country. These undisciplined
 and inexperienced troops were confront
 ed by European veterans who were re-
 inforced by fleet. The fleet lying be-
 yond the range of the inferior guns
 of Fort McHenry, poured shot and shell into that fertilization; but the Star spangled banner was not lowered,
 and to that bombardment the United
 States owes it's national anthem. That
 event alone is worthy of perpetual com memoration, not by Baltimore or Mary
 land alone, but by the whole people,"

ble without long and tedious course of instruction. -
 But some even of the most prominent of our statesmen whose names are
 household words present problems in portraiture which are the despair of the cartoonist. It is not that their faces are devoid of individuality and strong character; it is rather that the charac- terization is too subtle to allow of easy
 accentuation. In these cases the car toonist vainly wishes that his elusive subjects would adopt some means of ac- centuating themselves.
 Take MT. John Morley. His face Is unlike that of any one else in the House of Commons, and yet over and over again as the lines travel over the paper the likeness vanishes with a single stroke in the wrong place. Then comes the India rubber or the knife, and the fleeting likeness has to be tracked again. To suggest mustache would
 be a crime; whiskers are inadmissable. and the idea of a beard would be mon strous. But why not an eyegiass? The
 rsonocle is made for the smooth. keen face only, for on a fat. bearded face 1t may look funny if not fatuous.
 I have often wondered why in the old days John Bright always appeared In Punch with an eyeglass. and I can only imangine that Tenniel, finding 1t little difficult to aceentuate features which had no very striking characteristics, adopted the monocle, n the same way that the straw was inserted in Lord Palmerston's mouth. And so aecentua- ted were the readers. of Punch to these features that 1t is. useless to declare that John Bright never wore an eye glass and that Lord Palmerston was not always chewing straw.
 It speaks much, therefore, for the conscientious self-sacrifice of the politi- cal caricaturists of to-day that they have not combined in an agreement to
 make MT. John Morley's face more practicable for their pens and pencils by So simple an expedient Biographers afflicted with desire for accuracy may in the next generation insist that the eyeglass is incorrect, but what will that

matter to us who by that time will be. one of the witnesses before the Chan trey Request committee, more or less dead?
 It would not be bad idea if political caricablrists were to form asortofun.on so that when a new figure comes to the front to be added to the stock there shall be agreement as to the general lines Of treatment 50 as to avoid con- sion. The carocaturist who is first in the field with a new face has 1t all his own way and makes his own laws. An instance of this is the case of Lord Ran |dolph Churchill Mir. Harry Furniss annexed him at an early stage and in terpreted him as perky little person. ality with black buffalo-horn mustach- es. The public accepted him in this form, and refused to know him as any other than little Randy" although as a mere matter of portraiture Lord Ram dolph was not short, and his mustache was not black.
 Lord Roseberry, again, is a stumbling block, and costs cartoonists many de- spairing hour in trying to render pre- sentable likeness. How much easier 1t would be if his lordship would only adopt not only the eyeglass, buta mus tache as well The latter would not need to be large indeed, large mus tache would not go well with the face, but little neat one. slightly turned up on each side, like Count von Buelow's.
 MT. Winston Churchill issanother poll itician whom the political carocaturist watches with interest, for the reason that he may one day have to be promi- nent on the pictorial stage. He may be said to have achieved cartoon rank as 1t is, and if he only had features which lent themselves as readily as his fath- CTS he would probably be used more of ten.
 Between the late Lord Randolph Churchill and his son Winston there is absolutely no resemblance in likeness. although there are to be seen every now and then subtle and fieeting suggestions which show that resemblance is some times a matter quite outside lines of form and feature Winston Churchill s face is, from the caricaturist's point of view, what I call an elusive one, by which I mean that the more. you try to get 1t the more you lose it, and the like- ness of the pen disappears with elabo- ration
 The conclusion of the matter, from the political caricaturist's point of view, is that If politician has ambi- ton 1t is important that he should ac- centuate his personality so he may be chosen as being difficult. The methods of this accentuation may vary, and the suggestions have ventured to put for ward are modest and simple, although admit that they may be based oH the selfish desire to be spared trouble in getting likenesses Their ifnpeftinence do not attempt to deny, for if polit- ical caricaturist cannot be irnpertinent, who can be?--W Westminster Gazette.

 Carruthers Gould, Caricaturist.
 The necessity for introducing into po- litical caricatures and cartoons only those faces with which the public are absolutely familiar imposes what is of- ten an irksome limitation upon the ar tist, For instance there are apparent ly two hundred members of Parliament who have recently taken of the fiscal sop with MT. Chamberlain, and yet If the cartoonist desires to depict the Pro- phet of Protection with his faithful ones, he will find that after he has gay ly and unhesitatingly dashed In the fa- lniliar features of Afr Henry Chaplin, MT.

 The United States now furnishes about 2S per. cent. of the lead of the world and 26 per cent. of the spelter, besides considerable amount of zinc oxide.
 Over one third of the gold mined in the United States comes from the southern division of the Rocky noun tains, chiefly from Colorado, which pro- duces more gold than any other state.
 Alaska supplies about 10 per cent. of the total gold output of the United States. @
