GAS MANTLEs ONLY ASHES.

Invention Due to the Experiments of
Vienna Chemist.
The gas mantle is nothing but ash
es, and it is wonderful how science
makes it's particles cling together as
long as they do.
The gas mantle was invented by a
chemist of Vienna He noticed the in
tense light given out by a small guam
tity of thorium thrown into a stove
in his laboratory He realized the i'm
portance of the discovery, and in 1880
began a series of experiments to uti-
lie this remarkable quality of the ele-
ment in intensifying light. He found
that pure thorium would not cohere
we'll enough to be OF use, and he then
began searching for combination of
elements that would answer.
In 1887 he produced his first man
ties, but they. were so delicate that
they cou]l not be transported, and
were delivered by hand. A boy was
trusted to carry two, one in each hand,
for delivery about the streets of vi
emma. In the early zoos he found that
a good mantle could be made from a
combination of the two substances,
thorium oxide and ceriu.l oxide, and
that coating of collodion would give
sufficient firmness to allow it to be
transported. Since then gas nantes
have gone into general use in nearly
all parts of the world, and thousands
of factories are producing them.

That Was NapoIeon's Motto, and He
Put 1t Into Practice.
Napoleon the Great on one of his
campaigns while walking about the
camp one night, as he was accustomed,
to do to discover how the soldiers were
occupied, CHANGED to come upon a
group listening to an excited speaker.
Napoleon stole near to listen and
found that the man was RECALLING his
comrades with an account Of battles
that Napoleon had lest.
II had that fellow hanged as a
traitor" Napoleon said. "Men do not
win battles by the memory of the bat
ties lost
It was perfectly true. A distinguish
ed military officer affirmed that after
troops have been beaten in a battle it
took weeks to get them TO fire as well
as they had done before. Bad success
demoralizes them. If one is continual
ly looking back at the things one has
missed in life one loses the power to
grip what is yet within reach of ones
hands. ~
