briefly, he discovered that an ounce of
it had an expansive power almost be-
yond belief. An ounce of it,, fully ex-
panded, filled a whole township with
the coolest Arctic atmosphere. He also
found it would not evaporate under
water; hence. it retained it's full power
under the Hudson river.
The greatest discovery of all was that
it could be handled as easily as soap,
and would neither evaporate nor dis
integrate if kept from the air. But in

= r was a roasting hot day. and the
New York aldermen were monping
their faces, when Clerk Blake an
nounced that Col Munchausen had per-
fected his ice-making machine and was
ready to exhibit It. 1t was welcome
news, for the colonel was to marry the
gifted daughter Of the alderman from
Brooklyn. A pin could have heard itself
drop as Col Munchausen turned to a
machine looking like a hand organ and
began to turn the handle, sending an
Arctic blast through the chamber. In
stantly the atmosphere became like
winter and dozen men simultaneously
ordered windows clpsed and the steam
turned on. Even then the websterian
representative from Staten Island
caught bad cold.
1t should be explained that the secret
of the invention lay in the virtues of a
powdery substance like pulverized gum
camphor. 1t could be carried in bot
tie and the miracle wrought just as
easily by sprinkling a bit of the stun
about in the room.
But the colonel had long been a
student of human nature and learned
with Barnum that many people pre-
ferred humbug to an unvarnished truth.
The colonel devised a complicated ma
chine. He ordered complicated levers
in Philadelphia, a curious bellows in
Harlem and in each instance secrecy
was enjoined and then a man sent to
add to the mystery by letting frag-
mentary information get astray
Result-A strange looking machine
full of spiral brass tubes, copper wires,
queer looking wheels and hundred
other wonderful appliances, making it
a cross between a typewriter and
washing machine, tucked away in
hand organ locking case, veritable
wonder.
What was really done was this AS
the colonel turned the handle, bellows
blew air against the powder as it was
shaken from a perforated receptacle,
which instantly transformed the sub
stance into a freezing spray, roaring
and spluttering like steam from safe
ty valve. Its intensity was 10000 de-
grees colder than liquid air, as icicles
began to cover walls and desks.

anti-zero powder into the machine"

At the close of his remarks the colonel
proposed making practical experiment

excitement that the aldermen from the

OLD AGE
Depends Not Upon Years, ! But
Upon4vita Force.
A GREAT DISCOVERY TO WARD
OFF OLD AGE.

In Barre lately there has been q
good deal Of discussion in regard to old
people. Some at so years call them
selves old, and really appear SO; while
others at 20 years seem active, vigor-
GUS and young.
A reporter Of The Times happened in
the store of Rickert & Wells, our local
druggists, the other evening, and this
subject was brought up. Said Mr.. Wells
Of Rickert & Wells, ut is fact, and
we see it illustrated every day right
here in Barre; it is not years, old age
does not begin at any set time, but
it is loss of vital force that makes a
person old. Weakened digestion, thin
blood and poor circulation soon start
funstional powers and vitality on the
wane, and then the symptoms of old
age quickly appear. You know a man
is as old as he feels.
ION the other hand.p continued Mr..
Wells, "that old feeling may be warded
off, and | wish every person in Barre
who feels old, whether they are so in
years or not, would try the great dis.
covery, Who'll | know that it has
vital principles which will in natural
manner strengthen digestion, assimila-
ton and all the functional powers, send
rich, red blood coursing through the
veins, and give new life TO. every or
gan of the body, and this is what makes
the old feel young again.

writes:

Assembly.
Paris, Feb. 10. The st. Petersburg
correspondent Of the Echo de Paris says
he has trustworthy information from
the Imperial Palace at Czarkoe- Selo that
when the assassination Of Sergius be-
came known there last evening, there
was terrible sensation, and that when
the Gar had regained his usual calmness
he announced his intention to grant
the promised reforms and to convene
4 zemsky or popular assembly. He told
Prince Chirinsky Thiklapotf that he
would do this because he desired to
know exactly what public opinion was.
The Echo's correspondent adds that
the Gar was in the act Of reading
letter from the Grand Duke Sergius,
advocating the calling Of an assembly,
representing all the castles, when he re-
eeived the news.
A ST. Petersburg despatch to the Petit
Journal says that the Gar and Czarina
became a prey to terror on hearing OF
the assassination. The Czarina wished
to send their children to Denmark inn
mediately- This plan was vetoed be-
cause Of the loss Of imperial prestige it
would inevitably involve.

The Council Of the Empire Is com

Car, including the Grand Dukes, Gen

other persons as may find favor in the
Emperor's eyes.
The Council is divided into four de-
partments dealing respectively with leg
islation, ciyics and church administra-
ton, finance and industry and sciences
and commerce.
It's chief functions are to examine
all Legislative projects brought before
it By the Ministers and to review the
annual estimates Of expenditures. But
its powers are little more than nominal,
as it cannot meet unless called together
by the Gar has no right Of initiative,
and all its decisions are subject to re-
vision or veto BY the Gar.
