there is less culture, that this Is bar

with the Pyrenees. But longer
acquaintance shows them that there is a

in this country. Many of the qualities
that made Spain great still remain. The
decadence is not moral but entirly ma

Poisonous Illuminating Gas.
rom the Ironmonger.

FROM the lr0nm0DEeT.
The poisonous properties of coal gas are
generally attributed to its content of
carbonic oxide, especially as no other
substance of known poisonous properties
has been found in it, and patients suffer-
ing from coal gas poisoning show the
symptoms associated with the inhalation
of carbonic oxide, including the peculiar
bright red color of the blood. From ex-
periments made by DIR. Won Vahlen, at
Halle, 1t seems probable that we must
revise this view, for on making expert
ments with frogs, animals particularly
resistant to carbonic oxide, it was found
that they were poisoned far more rapidly
by coal gas than by the corresponding
amount Of the oxide. Other experiments
with dogs showed that the poisonous eff
feet of coal gas was twice or three times
as great as that Of carbonic oxide 1t
contained. Evidently there ID some other
constituent of coal gas which is poison
Gus, though what it is cannot yet be
stated. Merely removing the carbonic
oxide from coal gas will not suffice to
render it non-poiSOnous.

pulleys in the ceiling or desk top, one
end of this cord being fastened TO the
top of the box and the other end having
a weight on it. When the box is closed
and the front flap fastened up it remains
in that position, but when the front flap
is let down the upper part of the box
is released, the weight of the~cord de-
sends and the shelves are extended to

MAKING GOOD CITIZENS
w. r. GEORGE TELLS OF WORK
OF THE JUNIOR REPUBLIC.
Unruly Boys Developed Into Useful
Observation-Disclosures Not a
Simple Matter.

William r. George, son of the founder
| Of the National Junior Republic. was the
principal speaker at the annual meeting
| of the Washington Junior League of that
| organization. held this morning at Rau-
| scher's. Many members of the Washing
ton League were present, and they fol-
| lowed the address of Mr.. George with
| close attention, asking him many ques-
lions regarding the organization and
| plans of the Junior Republic
Miss Rose Mary Bradford president of
the Washington League told in her an
nual report of the work of the year and
of the leagues financial condition Miss
Ruth Halford, treasurer, also made a re-
port.
Mr.. George defined the Junior Republic
as a village of young people, similar to
any other village, except that the voting
age was sixteen instead of twenty-one
years. It is. he said, a republic of boys
and girls, for boys and girls and by boys
and girls.
Development of Youth.
Speaking of the character of boys and
girls who become citizens Of the Junior
Republics, he said: Il am now of the
opinion that there are no bad boys and
no good boys, but just plain boys" He
added that many of the worst cases Of
| unr,ffy boys that could be found i'm the
various reform institutions had in the
past been sent to the republic at Free
vile, n. Y, and in every case the boy
had ultimately become good citizen of
| the Junior Republic, and also of the
country. Many of these boys. he said,
| went through college after leaving the
republic and became successful in what
ever profession they chose.
It's no simple matter to run a Junior
Republic said Mr.. George, land our
greatest difficulty in forming one is to
find men who can run 1t properly. The
usually those who are ex-citizens of the
republic, as they know from experience
just how the institution should be rum
Religious Sentiment Strong.
In response to a question about the re-
ligious influences among the boys and
girls Mr.. George said: THE religious life
is very strong in the republics. At Free
vile more than 80 per cent Of the boys
and girls attend church, although none
of them is compelled to do so. All kinds
of services are held tlere--Catholic, Prot
estant and Hebrew. Every boy and girl
is permitted to worship God in his or her
own way, and there is a broad charity for
the other fellows religion.'t
He said that Junior Republic had
been started in southern California and
in western Pennsylvania, and next spring
he intended } start one in New Jersey,
and later III Massachusetts, or Illinois.
Ultimately he said. Junior Republics
would be established in every state In
the Union The idea is also spreading
to England and the continental countries.
Speaking of how the boys and girls get
along together. he said: Il beAeve it is
crime 10 segregate the sexes. The thing
to do is to teach people to live together
decently.'
At the close of his address Mr.. George
was asked many questions about the
Junior Republics.
