turc, and al enemy to pomp and

from tie enj -yment of ones self;
and in the next, from the friendship
and conversation of few select COM
panions. False happiness loves 10 be
in crowd, and to draw the eyes OF
the world upon her. She does no..
receive any satisfaction from the ap-
plause which she gives herself, bat
from the admiration which she raises
in others-Addison

Tantalum Named by piscoverer.

1t is said that Ekeberg, the Swedish

recently that tantalum has been OBJ
tained in state of purity. A single
pound OF tantalum suffices to furnish
$4,000 lamps, each of 25 candle power.
