had always made it a rule in the

never corrected alleged errors. At
this the subject of the obituary

then informed him that the only
suggestion he could think of would
be to place the gentleman in the

How the Air Ia Purified.

Motion, mechanical and molecular
the great law of the universe, is nat
ural method for the publication of the
atmosphere. Its power as purifier of
the air is shown mechanically in the
flow of rivers and in the ocean cur
rents. Molecularly it serves the same
purpose in the form of heat light and
electricity. When not in motion air
stagnates as water does and becomes
offensive and bad, because it is easily
impregnated with fine animal and veg
etable dust as we'll as noxious gases.
Certain physical conditions are always
necessary for the continual movement
Of the air. We know that the diurnal
motion of land and sea air brings the
warm days and cool nights as we'll as
the rain and wind In the tropical re-
giOnS as the sun rises the heat of the
day increases, and the breeze sets in
from the sea to the land. AS the sun
sunset the temperatures of sea and
land are equal. At night again the
breeze is from land to sea until morn
ing, when the temperature may be-
come equal and the sea breeze return.
The Oily Menhaden.
The oily character of the menhaden
is familiar. 1t is caught for its Oil,
which is tried out in factories. Men
baden fishermen use purse nets, which
are tarred to preserve them. To keep
their hands from sticking to the tarred
nets they rub on them freshly caught
menhaden, handling it somewhat as
they would cake of soap. So oily is
the menhaden that the simple pressure
thus applied is enough to bring
through the scales Oil sufficient for the
purpose.
