A SNOW EXPERIMENT..
Frozen VnpOr From Tie Action of
Sulphide Of Carbon.

Frozen vapor From tEc Action of
Sulphide of Carbon.
Two solid bodies, II yellow. sui
phur, the other black, carbon, unite
under certain circumstances to form a
colorless liquid called sulphide of car
bon, which must be handled with much
%precaution on account Of its great ex-
plosive property. The soluble property
Of sulphide Of carbon renders it valua-
BILE to take spots off garments. II
it's odor Is more disagreeable than that
of benzine or turpentine, 1t has at least
tho advantage Of being dispelled quick
ly in consequence Of the prompt evap-
Grafton Of the liquid. There is nothing
equal to it to take of spots Of paint on
clothes. It does not do it, however,
without creating great fear in persons
who use 1t for the first time, for. they
see on the very place where, to their
great pleasure, the paint had disap-
peared a large white spot, the nature Of
which is hard for them to define, and
the more they brush the more unsightly
and the larger that white spot grows.
Is then the garment lost? No, for
fortunately after a few moments the
spot melts away eve to show again.
1t was snow and nothing more. The
sulphide Of carbon in evaporaing takes
heat from the cloth and surrounding
air, and the result Of that is a sudden
lowering Of temperature sufficient to
freeze the vapor Of the atmosphere.
Without operating on your clothes
you may make the experiment in the
following way: Fill a small vial with
sulphide Of carbon, taking great care to
do it far from all flame or heated stove.
Then close the bottle with a cork stop
per through which you have previously
bored a small hole. In this hole place
a piece Of blotting paper made up into
a small roll. The paper must reach to
the bottom II the bottle and about an
inch above the cork. Within fifteen
minutes you will see the outside of this
paper covered with snow, the quantity
Of which gradually increases. The
liquid has risen through the pores Of
the paper as the oil of u lamp through
the wick. When it gets to the open air
it evaporates, n water contained IN
the surrounding atmosphere, being
brought to a temperature below 50 de-
grees, has been frozen. II YOU divide
the paper outside Of the bottle into sew
eral pieces you obtain flowers and most
charming effects. You may make the
experiment in summer and in the full
rays of the sun. The result will be
obtained then more promptly, evapora-
ton being more abundant.

TWO men SHOT
In an Effort to Arrest Purse
Snatcher.

New York, April I'm an excited
chase of a highwayman, who had
snatched a young woman's pOcketbook
at Thirty-fourth street and Second ave
nue. today, two men were shot, one be-
ing probably fatally injured, and a large
crowd that gathered after the highway
man was captured made a demonstra-
zion as if they would kill him. The man,
who gave his name as John Kenny,
grabbed the woman's pocketbook and
knocked her down when she struggled to
retain it. He then tried to escape on a
moving car Joseph Corn, 26 years old,
overlook Kenny at the corner of Third
avenue and Thirty-fourth street and
c1inched with him. In the struggle
Kenny fired two shots, ene striking Corn
in the arm and the other in the alb
dOmen. Kenny then jumped up and

T., next overlook the fleeing man and
jumped on his back, carrying him to the
ground with Johnson on TOP. Kenny
still held the revolver in his hand and
pressed its muzzle close against John
sons face and fired. The bullet passed
through Johnson's jaw. Before Kenny
could fire again a policeman grasped the
revolver. BY this time several hundred
persons had gathered around the strug-
Cling men and cried loudly that he be
lynohed Other policemen appeared and
Kenny who was bleeding from a blow,
was hurriedly taken to the police sta

Most people who know anything
about such things are acquainted with
the fact that the active grown Turn
ers are good gymnaStS, but not all
people, by any means, know that cal
iSthenicS can be successfully taught to
juveniles. An exhibition of Indian
club swinging by the girls and a Sc
rieS of plastic groups by the boys,
ranging between the ages of five and
twelve years, excited the admiration
and applause of the audience. It
wasn't like the Friday afternoon ex-
ercises of the public schools by any
means, but throughout showed train
ing and thorough familiarity with the
work. Florence Horcheck, a little
of fancy club swinging which was
really skillful and showed unusual
ability.
The boys did nice work in pyramids
Of the programme with rooster
fights" This finale made an immense
hit with the audience
Joe Whitmer gave an exhibition of
electrical club swinging while the
house was darkened. He is one of the
best amateurs in this work in the
country and sustained his reputation
last night by an excellent performance.
The clubs were made up of hollow
globes containing electric lights, and
made a pretty effect.
The tambourine and flower roundels
of the girls were very pretty and
dispatch and accuracy. The fencing
girls from the ladies' class was one of
the best things of the evening. They
were dressed in the costume which has
been made famous in pictures within
the last few years of the fencing girl.
Their drills were good, and the parry,
thrust and attack work, showed train
ing to a high degree.
The adult active Turner'S came on
then, with work on the parallel bar,
the German and high horse, the pole
and the mat. In this part of the pro-
gramme the audience had an oppor-
tunity to see the real result of hard
work in the gymnasium. 1t was not
very hard to see why the Topeka Tur-
ners rank second best in the United
States.
Besides doing some excellent work
himself, Mr.. Oscar Eager, the physical
instructor of the Turner'S, had charge
of the exhibition and deserves a great
deal of credit for the performance.
MarshaHs band played throughout
the entire evening, and interspersed
the programme at several places with
overtures and Especial musical numbers.
It has almost come to be a recognized
fact that when the Turner'S appear
publicly. one can generally hear Mar
shalPs band some where pretty close

CHURCH INSURANCE.
Beneficiary Department for Members
Is Advocated

Detroit, April Rev. w. H. Burch
at the annual meeting of the Michigan
Council of the brotherhood of St. Paul,
which has just closed its sessions here,
surprised his audience by advocating a
system of benefit insurance for the
churches. He said:
1T will be a great day for Methodism
and for her church societies when a
system of benefit insurance is allied to
her work of salvation.
AT present competition is too great.
Members are lost to the church every
day simply because they join fraternal
and secret societies for the insurance
features, and becoming attached to the
lodge work with its services and rituals,
gradually fall away from their allie
glance to the church. Everywhere the
organizers of our societies CO. they have
cast into their teeth that there is no
benefit feature to the church organiza-
lions and they find it superhuman work
to show the average man wherein lies
the benefit Of spiritual gain unless there
is an element of material gain to help
along"

HER SCALP TORN OFF.
A Kansas city Girls Hair Caught in a
Laundry Machine.

Kansas City, April Miss Maggie
Henderson, a young woman employed
IN the laundry department at the
Cudahy packing house in Armourdale,
was the victim of a remarkable acct
dent shortly after noon yesterday.
While she was at work alone in
small room her hair was caught on a
revolving shaft just above her head.
The lever controlling the shaft was
out of her reach, and before she could
summon assistance the whirling piece
OF steel had wound up her long hair
and torn away the whole scalp from
below her eyebrows to the back of her
neck. The scalp was wrapped around
the shaft and the girl fell backwards
to the floor. Instead of fainting, as
woman would have been expected to
do under the circumstances, Miss Hen
dersOn jumped to her feet, and throw
ing her apron over her bleeding head,
ran to the superintendent's Office.
The case is a most extraordinary one.
