sure Of herself, tried on him her rec

"Oh. Mr. Barton" she said Il am

Mr.. Barton, a cadaverous man with

"Indeed?" he said. May | ask what

Blake.

A CHEMICAL FURY.
Fluorine Is Rabid Gas That Nothing
Can Resist.

Can Resist.
The fury of the chemical world Is
the element tiuorine, although, strange
iy enough, II exists peacefully In com
pany with calcium In fuorspar and
also In a few other compounds
Although this element was known
and named Il good while ago. It long
resisted the efforts of chemists To iso-
late it-that Is, prepare IL In pure
state, unmixed chemically with other
substances for the instant the com
pound containing 1t was torn apart
the free fiuorine attacked and combined
with whatever substance composed the
vessel containing 1t. II was finally
Isolated by the great French chemist
Molssan.
Fluorine Is u rabid gas that nothing
can resist 1t combines with all met
ais. explosively with some, or If they
are already combined with some other
nonmetalllc element 1t mercilessly
tears them away from It and takes
them to Itself.
In uniting with sodium, potassium.
calcium, magnesium and aluminium
the metals become heated. even to red
ness, by the fervor OF Its embrace.
Iron filings slightly warm burst into
brilliant scintillations when exposed to
It. Manganese does the same. Even
the noble metals, which at melting
heat proudly resist the destinations OF
oxygen. succumb to this chemical siren
ut moderate temperatures.
Glass Is devoured at once and water
ceases 10 be water by contact with this
gas, which, combined with Its hydro
gen, at the same moment forms the
acrid, glass dlssolvlng hydrofiuoric acid
and llberates ozone.
Even hydrohuoric acid eats into and
destroys every known substance ex-
cept platinum and Exchange.

OLD CLOTHES IN AFRICA.
The Natives Often Make Dreadful
Mistakes With European Attire.

The "or clio man. Is a familiar figure

American dealer In old clothes has es-
tablished n business of such extent of
interest as that of John Lyman of Lon

SNOWY costumes and discarded military

orient and Africa.
Even the retiring lord mayors Of Lon

OF me how they got into them or how

The Prince de Jolnville when off the
Gabun coast once received on his ship
an official visit from two chiefs, father
and son, who must, one would think,
have been Mr.. Hyman's customers.
They were known us Big Denis and
Little Denis. and each owned for cere-
monial occasions u military uniform.
That of Big Denis was French gen.
erals. which his wives managed to get
him into. That Of Little Denis was a
hussar's, and Its intricate cut, numer-
GUS buttons, straps and buckles and
painfully small size proved quite too
much for him. He sent the prince II
despalring message begging help, and
Il relief party of delighted mldshipmen
was sent to dress him and bring him
aboard.
