Solution Of a Myster,,

Sir Humphry Davy had been study
ing one evening in comfortable negli
gee of dressing gown and nightcap at
a little table in his chamber when he
became aware Of a curious phenOme-
non. bright dancing circle of light
appeared upon the ceiling. 1t was I'M
steady yet persistent. and he was I'M
able to account for 1t. He extinguish-
ed his lamp. but it only appeared the
brighter. 1t was accompanied by an
odor-a scorching odor-and also by a
slight sound of sizzling. He was great
~ excited aud running over rapidly in
his mind all kinds of electrical and
other interesting theories to account
for the mystery when he became
aware of a sensation of uncomfortable
warmth about the scalp. He hastily
put up his hand. and down tumbled his
theories and blazing nightcap. The
tassel on it's peak had bobbed into his
candle as he bent above his book, and
the fascinating problem on the ceiling
was no more than the reflection of the
evening bonfire on his Uranium.

EXAMINATION OF

Coal company. Until Mr.. Paul con-

An Object Lesson In Cleanliness.

To impress upon his youthful mind
the Importance of guarding against in
fections the medical student at the
labora tory is given this object lesson:
Two test tubes nearly filed with a
clear meat broth and then closed at
the top with a cotton plug are given to
him. with directions to wash his hands
with soap and water and clean his
nails with brush as thoroughly as
he can for some ten minutes. After
he thinks that his hands have become
altogether clean he removes the plug
from one of the test tubes and barely
touches with finger tip it's contained
broth, after which he restores the cot
ton~plug and puts both tubes away on
a shelf for twenty-four hours. What
he will see then is that the broth in
the test tube which received his sup
posedly pure touch is turbid from the
presence of millions of microbes, while
the other tube remains perfectly clear.

2 Departed.
(From Mondays Daily.)

Although Frank B. Salter, Or. R,
d. Gist and Roger B. Gist, for several
days, have been In state Of mind
that has caused their friends much
solicitude, they left Amarillo yester-
day without any other guarding care
than that afforded by the conductor
and train crews. The said solicitous
friends, however, partially made up
for the inability to accompany the
young men all the way by assembling
at the union station yesterday even
ing and making themselves very gem
orally in evidence by assisting the
travellers in buying their tickets,
checking their baggage and proper
ly getting on the train.
Frank B. Salter was the first to
escape and was borne away on the
Denver train after his thouthful
friends had informally introduced
him to all the people on the train.
The other passengers greeted Mr..
Salter very sociably and promised
to give him an entertaining trip
down the Denver and to safely give
him a start toward Coleman.
DR.. Glst was less fortunate in his
arrangements and was rudely disap-
pointed in checking his baggage by
the cold, hard refusal of the bag
gaeman to let the new, beautiful
red devil" runabout aboard the
train. A cause for still more serious
anxiety was given the doctor by the
discovery through some Of his &C
quaintances, that the license for a
certain ceremony that is billed to be
performed day after tomorrow in
Kansas, requires the residence in
That state OF both the parties for at
least ten days. According to the
prearranged plans, Doctor Gist had
intended to be a resident In Holton,
Kan, about one day and then to de-
part for Dallas with such recruits
as the party gathered in Kansas.
The ten days residence prerequisite
was still making trouble when the
San Fe train finally pulled out for
the north yesterday evening but the
Gist brothers we're being assisted in
their speculations on the subject by
the advice and sympathy Of other
passengers on the train.
