DRYING OUT GASES.
Various Methods by Which the Mois.
 ture Is Eliminated,

ture Is Eliminated. In the manufacture of gases like oxygen, acetylene or Illuminating gas. to be used immediately in chemical processes. it is often necessary to free them from all moisture.
 One of the commonest means is to bubble the wet" gas through con centrated sulphuric acid or through q heap of glass beads covered with this liquid. Concentrated sulphuric acid has q powerful tendency to absorb mois- erty which is aptly illustrated when a splinter of wood is dipped into the liquid. The acid extracts from the celulose (which is the principal con stituent of wood) all the hydrogen and oxygen. which cellulose contains in just the proper proportions to form water. The only other component of cellulose is carbon. and this alone is left. leaving the wood charred as if by fire.
 Another way to dry gas is to pass it through small chunks of calcium chloride. This extracts water or vapor from everything.
 The most efficient of all methods is that adopted by the bureau of stan dards at Washington. where q machine is used which. by lowering the temper ature of the gas passed through it. freezes out all the moisture and leaves the gas absolutely dry.-St. Louis Post Dispatch

It Once Had a Menagerie With Mur.
 dsrous orang outans.
 It is not generally known that until the year 1884 there was menagerie of wild beasts in the Tower of London. In his book, London Survivals," the Rev. P. H. Ditchfield writes:
 "A word or two may be said about this collection of beasts. It commenced with the present of three leopards from the Emperor Frederick to Henry Ill., an appropriate gift, as our sovereign bore three of these animals on his shield of arms. and then a white bear was added. for which the sheriffs of London were ordered to provide muz- gle and an iron chain to secure him when out of the water and long. stout cord to hold him when fishing in the Thames. We fear his successors at the geological gardens do not enjoy the like diversion. Then came an elephant. In the time of Edward II. there was a lion, for which the sheriffs. who must have deemed these creatures trouble some beasts. had to provide daily a quarter of mutton.
 Paul HentZner saw here in 159S three lionesses. a lion of great size called Edward VI. from his having been born in that reign-a tiger. a lynx. wolf, exceedingly old.' a porcupine and an eagle. James l. often visited the menagerie and used to enjoy bait ing the lion with dogs or seeing fight 1nf there were two man tygers'-orang- outangs-one of which killed boy by throwing a cannon ball at him."

A MOST REMARKABLE THING
MidShipman Is Dismissed For Iazing
But Not For Cheating.

But Not For Cheating.
Writing to the Baltimore Sun, ID.
NJ" has the following TO say relative to
local conditions:
To the Editor of The Sun-Sir: 1t
seems to the public a most remarkable
thing that a cadet at Annapolis can be
found guilty of hazing, which amounts
to little, and is recommended for eXpul-
sion by Secretary Daniels, and yet of
fifteen cadets caught gouging or cheat
ing at examination, a most dishonor-
able act, only two are expelled. The
rest having members of Congress from
their districts as attorneys are all ac-
quilted. The worst of all is. that Su-
perintendent Fullam, one of the best
men in the navy, and his officers, for
condemning this outrageous offense and
bringing these cadets to trial. are
snubbed by Secretary Daniels. and ali
transferred to other stations.
From personal experience at the Ma
val Academy. can say that there is
not enough care taken in the selection
of candidates for midshipmen at the
Academy, and especially those appoint
ed by Congresmen living in large cities
where politics is always at white heat
There is always a lot of cheap polite
ians and ward bosses, who do the work
of getting and controlling votes and
throwing them from one side TO the
other. AS soon as the Congressman is
elected, the ward boss of the slums
comes back with a request that his son
of his friends son be appointed to An
napolis, and generally his request Is
granted. Happily a good quantity of
such candidates fail in the entrance eX-
aminations, and certain others are
'bilged" at the end of the first year.
and yet certain proportion remain.
A great many of this class are sons OF
restaurant keepers or ward bosses, AMI
they make very undesirable class.
In many Congressional districts away
from the large cities, the Congressman
holds a competitive examination and
the best hoy gets his appointment, and
they make the best cadets and the best
officers. There should be some law by
which every Congressman should be
made to hold a competitive examina-
ton, and this would put young men in
the fourth class with a sense Of honor.
