Tonson was DESTROYS OF obtaining the

IRREGULARITIES OF WATER.

Water Is such a common substance

drogeu Is twill + that of the oxygen. but
the oxygen even then Is eight times as
heavy as the hydrogen. Practically we
never obtain pure water As IL falls

ties from the air. and ~ 1t sinks into

Thus, the of Rumania is mere

Guarded sacredly in the Quirinal Palace is the
oldest crown in the world-the famous iron diadem
of Lombardy At first glance this appears to be
mere broad flat circet ornamented with enameled
flowers and twenty-five rough and uncut emeralds,
sapphres and rubies. This, however, is only the
outward garb of the precious iron crown within.
This is a thin band of iron, composed, accord
