ON of the great advantages of glyc-
erin in its chemical employment is the
fact that it neither freezes nor evap-
crates under any ordinary temperature.
No perceptible loss by evaporation has
been detected at a temperature less
than 200 degrees F.. but if heated in
tensely it decOmposes With a smell
that few persons find themselves able
to endure. 1t burns with a pale flame,
similar to that from alcohol, If heated

Its nonevapOrative qualities make the
compound of much use as a vehicle for
holding pigments and cOlors, as in

bon papers and the like.
If the pure glycerin be exposed for a
long time to freezing temperature it
crystallizess with the appearance Of
sugar candy, but these crystals being
once melted it is almost an impossi-
bility to get them again into the con-
gealed state. If little water be add
ed to the glycerin no crystallization
will take place, though under a sufi-
cient degree. of cold the water will
separate and form crystals, amid which
the glycerin will remain in its natural
state of fuidity. If suddenly subject
ed to intense cold pure glycerin will
form gummy mass which cannot be
entirely hardened or crystallized. Al

CONCEIT or THE SOMALI.
aIe Feels He Is About the Most Per-
feet Man In tie world.

Ne TSeAS ne IL ABOUT the Most Per-
feet Man In tie world.
Perhaps the most remarkable charac-
teristic of the natives of Somaliland Is
their unbounded, preposterous conceit.
Englishmen who know their language
have been appalled, by it. When wa
tering his camel or his horse the Somali
encourages the animal to drink by
chanting to it in a monotone. 1t is at
such moments of eXtemporary effusion
that the man shines in all his glory.
The subject matter may be the expert
ences of the days march, the virtues
of the animal beside him, the charms
of his latest wife or his own prowess in
some bloodless tribal raid. BY great
good fortune the following literal trans
lation of one of these chants or songs
came into my possession, and insert
1t without any comment:
"Will you see a man? Then behold
me! l am a SOmali, as perfect in size
and form as Adam was after God had
breathed into him his immortal soul
Look how beautiful my curly hair is
and how majestic look when wrapped

piece of money tied to it. My house

ther king nor master. 1 am as Adam
was-my own master and king. In the

My only labor is to watch them feed.
In my kerrier my wife, my dear slave,
does all the manual work, while tend
ing my offspring, and woe to her if she
forgets to prepare my evening meal.

falsely inflated prices these gentry
had erected for their own plumber
ing purposes. Instead OF gathering
in the savings OF the toilers, the
system had 10 part with some OF
its roll. For once the people got
the money and the System had the
stocks. Under the stress of tremen-
dous selling the price of .Amalga-
mated was shattered. Other fren-
zied finance stocks declined in SYM

been triumphantly INDICATED and
the cries OF frenzied flnanciers. their

Lawson introduces The Story of

minative exposition OF the financial
structure OF the country. which. for
clearness and oonciseness, has ne
equal in literature.
Jumping into the story of ANAL
gamated he compares the workings
of the system" with that of the
Louisiana lottery.
He says: Morally. legally or
officially. the Louisiana lottery. with
all its attendant curses. was a far
better institution for the people to
bump up against every month than
Is the system against which the
whole people are now directly or in
directly dealing every working day
OF the year. Startling this state
ment may be, but not more startling
than the facts. The records OF the
lottery company will show how
many dollars IL took in from the
public. how many were returned in
prizes and expenses: and'how many
went into the pockets OF the owners.
The records OF the banks. corpora
tons, trusts and stock exchanges
will exhibit how many dollars were
paid into the System by the peo-
pie; how much they received back
in return therefor. how much the
expense OF conducting the business
was. and how much profits went to
the votaries of the System COM
pare the two and you will find that
there is annually taken by the 'Sys-
tenn from the people ten thousand
times more than the Louisiana lot

today that the loaded shot was
