"Misrepresented Men" might be the
title of a volume of sad biographies.
Whenever a university professor says
something which may be reasonable
enough in the way he puts it and in
its relation to his whole discourse, but
which is capable of sensational distor-
ton, 1t is next to impossible. says
Youths Companion, to put him right
with the public. DR.. Ira Remsen, pres
ident of Johns Hopkins university. said
at meeting of graduates that he did
not dare tell what DR.. Osler really said
that has given rise to the absurd
"Osler theory" If he did he might be-
come notorious and have to travel in
cognito, like DR.. Osler himself, who
has several times taken refuge in an
assumed name in order to journey in
peace.

Purifles the Water.

A recent invention Of California
man Is an apparatus for purifying wa
ter, and one which can also be used
for aging liquids which have already
been bottled. The liquid is subjected
to electrolytic action for removing all
impurities, whether they be in suspen-
sion or solution, and the liquid heated
and any air within the bottle exhaust
ed. In the illustration is shown a con-
tainer, which can be Of glass or sim
liar material, having an electrode in
the bottom. The electrode is in the
form of a platinum wire, which is
nodded in the bottle. The neck of the
bottle is closed by a removable cork
stopper, an electrode extending
through the center. This electrode is
also made from a piece of platinum
wire, and has its inner end, which is
within the bottle, coiled, so that it can
be adjusted to any length by stretch

Phenomena Of Chemical Reactions.

Phenomena Of Chemical Reactions.
Is there wireless telegraphy in
chemical reactions? In one of many
recent experiments tending to give an
affirmative reply, a large quantity Of
a chlorate and sugar mixture was pre-
pared, little Of this was placed in
a basin and while the rest of the mix
ture was held behind the operator in
a large mortar, strong sulphuric acid
was added to the former, causing it to
ignite in the usual way. Immediately
afterward the rest Of the mixture
b]azed up, although it was impossible
that sulphuric acid could have touched
1t. 1t is thought that violent chem
ical reaction may convert the space in
its immediate vicinity into medium
that Will accelerate or even induce
chemical activity. II it be true the
Importance of the investigation can
not be overestimated. The prepare
tons and violent reactions that go on
from day to day in laboratory may be
altering the molecular arrangement Of
the substances in the neighborhood
of the demonstrative benches. Those
In charge of chemical laboratories
testify to the unaccOuntable altera-
lions In certain substances. Again,
does weather influence the communi-
cation between one chemical reaction
and another? The results of the ex-
periments changed from day to day.

CHINESE CRUELTY TO SLAVES.
Property of Housewives, Girls Are
HarshIy Dealt With.

Saws an editorial in the Pek1n
Times: 1.-THE position of the slave
girl in Chinese homes is a very hard
one as a rule. These slaves are gen.
orally the property of the wife and no
one interferes with the mistress IN
her treatment of the poor little things,
who will as often as not be subjected
to the most savage cruelty for most
yenial offenses. A few weeks ago we
recall a case Of great hardship being
brought into the mixed court, Snang-
hal. in which a small slave girl had
been gagged with piece OF iron ana
severely beaten because, when halr-
starved, she helped herself to some
scraps Of food.
"Our attention has now been called
to piercing cries which emanate from
a house near Canton road and are
said to proceed from little slave
girl who for some reason is beaten
almost daily with thick knotted
rope, but for what reason Is unknown.
"Our informant thinks a word In
public showing that the incident has
been noticed may suffice to check the
cruelty without lodging formal COM
plant with the municipal police,
which might make matters worse for
the poor little sufferer in the long
rum"

LION AFRAID OF THE OSTRICH
King Of Beasts Inferior to Bird In
FIGHTING Qualities.

Fl9ntin9 ludiitlc6.
There Is only one thing of which tho
lion is afraid, according to Schillings,
the young German African traveller,
and that Is the ostrich. The bird Is
more fleet than the quadruped, and it
can deliver its terrible kick with the
precision and impact Of a pugilists
blow and spring away till 1t gets an
other opening Such tactics naturally
disgust the superior being The lioL
has weakness, however, for ostrich
eggs and will make meal of them
whenever the vigilance of the parent
birds Is relaxed. Schillings saw lion
once with the tempting pile OF eggs
before him, and he was about to re-
gale himself when the owners of the
property appeared and the beast skunk
OF like a whipped cur. Schillings con-
siders 1t Is an open question whether
the hunting of the lion, leopard, buffa-
10, elephant or rhinoceros Is the most
dangerous. On the whole, however,
he thinks that II he were hunting
without supporting rifles In the hands
of really great hunters he would
rather take his chance with any Of
them than with the rhinoceros This
animal Is remarkably feet, consider
Ing it's bulk, and when 1t makes a
charge 1t is next to impossible to get
away from 1t. Then is the time when
a comrade with good gun and steady
nerve Is needed to distract the ami
mails attention.
