slums of the great American cities
and in the factory communities. II
developed, too, in the course Of his
statement that the remote mountain
districts of Georgia are badly in need
of mission work.

mittee on the work of the sunday

unwritten code governing the student

Under the code" every detail or

facts were very clearly brought out
both by toe Judge advocate and IN
the cross examination by Lieutenant

Midshipnan A. w. Fitch, who re-
fered the fight which was followed
i, Brancc's death, stated that he had

that he hai taken part in nine. Do

DIVING Bell Of 200 Years AGO.

It was nearly 200 years ago that
Edmund HALEY constructed what is
often referred to as the first diving
bell, although the apparatus must
have been much like that which was
used in the presence Of Charles V.
The principle Of the diving bel is
simple. An inverted Jar sunk in the
water retains air at its top, and II
there is enough air men may live and
breathe and work there, and keep dry.
DR.. Halley's diving bell was a large
wooden chamber open at the bottom
and loaded there with lead to prevent
it from turning in the water. Pieces
of glass set in the roof furnished light
Air was supplied by an ingenious
method: for loaded casks full of air
were sent down, bung downward. Tip
ping the barrel, water would rush into
1t and drive out the air to the man In
the bell chamber
At the depth of thirty-three feet the
air is compressed to half its former
bulk, and the bell is therefore at the
depth filed full with water; and as
the depth increases, so do the com
preston and the pressure.-Technical

ALCOHOL IN MOST MEDICINES.
indispensable Requisite In Compound.
Ing Of Some Prescriptions.


II is Of course true that some pro.

nearly all liquid medicines prescribed
by physicians contain II. No honest
man will defend the sale of intoxi.
cants under the guise OF medicine: but
every honest man should protest
against a system of wholesale denun.
citation born Of malice. or ignorance
of pharmaceutical principles, and fos.
tered by selfish interests. II is as.
sumed that alcohol is the cause of in
temperance; but there is great dit.
ference between alcohol and whisky.
If substitute for alcohol could be
found for use in the manufacture OF
medicines, its discoverer would render
a great service to the profession OF
pharmacy and the science of medi.
cine, for alcohol is very expensive
ingredient and a cheaper substitute
would be gladly accepted Unfortun.
ately the word alcohol, in the minds
Of many people is associated exclu.
siyely with bar-rooms, drunkenness
and all forms OF degradation and vice
This is due to a lack of knowledge
by the general public of the fact that
alcohol is an Indispensable requisite
In drugs, tinctures and fluid extracts
All fluid extracts and tinctures on the
druggists shelves contain from 20 &c
80 per cent of alcohol; and of all
liquid medicines prescribed by ply
sicians more than 10 per cent contain
1t in large proportions.
Alcohol is required to preserve or
ganic substances from deterioration
and from freezing. and IL Is also re-
quired to dissolve substances not solu.
BILE in water while It contributes to
their preservation when dissolved.
Diluted alcohol is largely employed in
iuid extracts; and whenever greater
strength of alcohol is required as a
solvent Qor extracting medicinal prin.
ciples) the medicine Is of such a char
acter as to preclude a large dosage;
and for this reason preparations, even
If containing 80 per cent or more OF
alcohol. are practically less intoMcat-
ing than beer. In such cases the
character of the medicinal constituents
Is such as to absolutely forbid the
taking of the medicine in any way
except in very small doses and at
stated intervals only. To assume that
any great number Of proprietary med
icines are used as beverages is the
veriest absurdity.- Exchange.
