Oxygen Gas.

Oxygen was first separated from
the red oxide of mercury by DR..
Priestley in 1774 and by Scheele,
who was quite ignorant of Priest
ley's discovery, in 1775. This great
supporter of animal life and of COM
bustion is the most abundant of all
substances, constituting, as it does,
about one-third of the solid earth
and forming about nine-tenths Of
water and one-ffth Of the atmos-
phere. Oxygen was iquefed BY
Raoul Pichet at Geneva in 1877.

zone calm night in 1897 said
Edward Hughes of Seattle, "the
Portland sailed into Seattle harbor
and quietly dropped anchor. Next
morning some roughly clad men
went about town, showing to
friends here and there handfuls of
gold nuggets. Before nightfall the
story of the Klondike was known
in every household in town, and it
seemed nine out of every ten men
we're arranging to 60 there. Sen
Ators, 'swyers, preachers, doctors,
police,nen, clerks-men of every
stamp rushed feverishly around
town purchasing outfits and arrang-
inc fo1 transportation to Skagway.
Amo1-g the crowd was a nackman.
an h nest, hardworking chap, who
lived up one day what he'd earned
the day before, as most of us were
doing at that time.
GERRY left his wife behind to
look after the kids, telling her when
he made his pile they'd live like
duke and duchess. The duchess to
be took in washing to feed the
dukes children, and she had a pref
ty tough time doing it. By and by,
when Mrs. Jerry would have
snapped her title for sack of
-four, Jerry pounced in with the
goods. He'd made stake-several
thousand dollars. Then he began to
show 'em. 1t was a one day per-
Torrance and the biggest thing in
town while it lasted. He got some
rainbow clothes for himself and
plug hat. The duchess was allowed
to select her own regalia and that of
the children. It was loud enough to
distract attention from a brass
band.
"Then Jerry bought him fine
vanished hack, the best he could
find in town, and sleek draft horses
with long, flowing tails. Next he
chartered the most dignifed and
English looking jehu he could find,
bought him a new suit with big
brass buttons and a tall tile with
shamrock on it. The top Of the
hack was thrown back so all could
feast their eyes on Jerry and his
decorated family.
'The dignifed driver had his route
mapped out through the principal
business and residence streets and
was instructed to drive slow. Jerry
had nothing to hide. He and his
wife bowed as their eyes encoun~
tered acquaintance, as much as to
say:
"TNow, just cast your eyes on
this and tell us what you Think!
CAT noon the gorgeous equipage
was stopped in front of high
toned restaurant and a mental dis
patched after good things for Mr..
and Mrs. Jerry and the little Jerrys
to eat. The meal was brought to
the hack by obsequious walters, and
the occupants calmly ate in the
presence of cheering multitude.
When the family had concluded
their repast and had decorously
washed their fingers in the bowls
and dried them Jerry tipped the
walters ten dollar gold piece each
and then lighted twenty-five cent
cigar and drove magnifcently away.
"a few days later l saw him
standing alongside his hack at the
old stand, soliciting trade as he for
merly did. But he had had his fling
for one glorious day and was en-
tirely satisfied" st. Louis Globe

City Council Meets

The city council met in regular
session tuesday night. and passed
the ordinance granting the Stand
ard Oil Co. permission to install its
system of tanks on Front street. and
to lay underground pipe lines from
itc storage tanks to the wharf. The
company's plans when fully carried
out will be Of great convenience to
boats taking on oil here and will
result in time in causing many to
enter this port which at present are
supplied elsewhere. The large
storage tanks, together with small
measuring tanks to be installed on
the wharf are expected to arrive
soon, when work will immediately
begin. The wharf will then be
cleared of the large number of small
tanks, and will present tidier ap-
pearance.
The council also postponed indefi-
nitely the petition of Alfred Coffelt
to erect machine shop on an un-
occupied portion of Front street.
An exchange says: A man who
was afraid of thunder crawed into
a hollow log as a place of safety
during a thunder storm. The thun-
der rolled and the rain poured down
in torrents, and the old log began
to swell up till the poor fellow was
wedged in so tight that he couldn't
get out. All his past sins began
passing before him. Suddenly he
remembered that he hadn't paid his
newspaper subscription. and he felt
so small that he was able to back
right out.
