MUD TAKES UP THE OXYGEN.

Air fn Cold Storage Plant Too Poor
TO Support Combustion
II was recently noticed in a cold stor-
age plant that candles or lamps began
to burn with a feeble fame as soon as
they were brought into the room and
that in many parts OF it they were ex-
tinguished- A match could be lii, but
the wax would not ignite
In the corner of the storeroom was
disused well from which gas issued
and 1t was at first supposed that car
bon dioxide was being distributed into
the air from this well
But this was not borne out by analy-
sis OF the air in the room and from
the well. for the amount OF carbon
dioxide was only slightly more than Ia
present in normal air and was quits
insufficient TO have affected the com
bustion OF a candle.
Samples OF the air taken from differ
ent parts of the room contained only
17-5 to III per cent Of oxygen, or from
30 TO "a per cent less than Is present
In normal air. The oxygen in the air
in the shaft of the well amounted to
no more than SO and SO per cent and
other experiments confirmed the con
clusion that the air In the storeroom
was ordinary air containing less than
its proper proportion Of oxygen. owing
to admixture OF air deprived of Its
oxygen which issued from the well
The source OF the Impoverished air
from the well was finally traced to
tunneling operations close by In which
compressed air WAS being used The
air must have found Its way through
the soil wherever II was sufficiently por-
GUS and so into the shaft OF the well
and on Its passage through the soil
must have been deprived OF part OF its
oxygen by contact with some substance
such as pyrites
Evidence in support OF the correctness
of this conclusion was furnished by the
analysis Of the mud from another well
shaft near the first This mud was
found to contain pyrites and air left

Slipping Away.
They are slipping away-these sweet,
swift years,
Like a leaf on the current cast:
With never a break In their rapid flow,
We watch them as one by one they go
Into the beautiful past
As silent and swift as the weaver's thread,
Or an arrows flying CLEAN.
Az soft as the dangerous breezes hid,
That lift the Willows golden lid.
And ripple the CLASSY stream
As light as the breath Of the thistle

As fond as lovers dream,
As pure as the flush Of the sea SHELLS
throat,
As sweet as the wood birds wooing note,
So tender and sweet they seem.
One after another we see them pass
Down the dim-ligbted stair
We hear the sound Of their steady tread
In the steps of centuries long since dead,
As beautiful and as fair.
There are only few years left 20 live,
Shall we waste them in idle strifef
Shall we trample under our ruthless feet
Those beautiful blossoms, fair and sweet,
By the dusty ways Of lifel
There are only few swift yea-s-ah let
No envious taunts be heard;
Make life's fair pattern Of rare design
And fill up the measure with loves sweet
