The products of the combustion
of tobacco, if the combustion
were complete, would be carbonic
acid, ammonia, and water; in the
process of smoking, however,
most of the tobacco is distilled
rather than burned, and the pro-
ducts of this distillation are quite
numerous and complex. The
Scientific American says that
Vohl and Euhlenburg, after burn
ing $50 cigars, recognized with
distinctness, in the smoke, cyan
hydric acid, sulphuretted hydro
gen, certain acids of the fatty
acid series, namely, formic,
acetic, propionic, butyric, and
valerianic, also carbolic acid and
creosote, pyridin, picolin, collidin,
and other similar alkaloids.
They found also ammonia. nitro
gen, oxygen, and small quanti-
ties of marsh gas and carbonic
oxide.
Inasmuch as most newspaper
Offices carry a plentiful supply of
tobacco smoke in both the news
and mechanical ends, this explain
alton might serve to show how
some of our present-day junk
gets into print.

Senator Borah of Idaho is COM

the voters of this state why the
republicans and progressives
should cease their fighting and
make the common cause against
the democrats. The Idaho sena-
tor appears to have been appoint
ed special ambassador and minis
ter plenipotentiary by the stand

over the progressives. His chief
argument thus far has been that
so long as the republicans and
progressives fight against each

Borah is convinced that no great

ton. The Idaho peacemaker may
be assured of a warm, probably

used to walk to the little street at the
right of st. Marco, the Meceria, where
largo doll, dressed in the latest Paris
fashions, was yearly displayed. This may
be regarded perhaps as the original fash
ion plate from Paris.
Luxury and extravagance in dress took
a great step In advance during the profit
gate days of the French Louis, but beau
tiful gowning was still confined to the
ladies OF the court and women at large
knew little or nothing Of changing fash
ions.
With the French revolution the wave
of democracy that swept over the world
included the women as well as the men
and one OF the outcomes OF II was an
equalizing on the subject Of dress. Every
woman demanded ralment an costly as
her purse could buy and from the honest
endeavor to get ahead OF her neighbor
was born fashions as we understand them
today.
Paris, however, the seat Of terrible
civil war. could then hardly provide the
luxuries Of life. Not only was the flower
OF its aristocracy forced in fear of its
life to emigrate to England. but the wig
makers, the manufacturers of fine tex
tiles, the perfumers, the makers of wom-
ems hats and bonnets, were forced also
TO flee and take their arts and crafts
with them.s
These industries were then set UP on
English soil and under the fostering care
of the government the French industries
developed and became famous. For one
short period England may be said to have
been the fashion center OF the world.
The French. for SEINE reason, have
never made good settlers on foreign soil
Their delicate art, their initiative, their
refinement and spontaneity seem only to
flourish in the French environment;
transpianted, 1t fades, becomes CONNER
cial and seems finally absorbed and en-
quilted in the inferior crafts of the foster
country,
So it was with the transplanting Of
the French dress Industries to England;
in short time they were no longer

short English.
with peace under Napoleon the old no.
biTity came back to France and with
them all the arts of refined living Paris

premacy, although sometimes threatened,

When the guests were seated the little

colors of their costumes in which the
were to act dramatizations. After the
games of the smallest children were
given, the larger pupils sang songs In
groups, and anced pretty dances.
Among these was a group Of little
Dutch children, dressed like real Hol-
landers. They sang a rhythmic song
and danced a rhythmic dance that was
wonderfully fetching. This group was
called back to perform again.
Three dramatizations were then pre-
