tereatina to the Students Of
Chemistry.

To the ordinary individual water
Is just water and nothing more. 70
the student Of chemistry water is one
OF the most interesting substances
which come under his observation.
To begin with, chemical substances
are divided fundamentally into posi-

unite to form various compounds
Let us consider three chemical COM
pounds base. an acid. and a salt.
Popular Science Monthly saws.
Hydrogen, which is strongly posi-
tive, is the essential element
IN acids. Hydrogen and oxygen
are the essentials in bases. An
acld is composed Of hydrogen
and some negative element or
some radical" Examples are
iodine and 500 sulphate A base
Is composed Of a positive element,
such as sodium or copper, combined
with a hydroxid radical. which is one
atom Of oxygen. A salt is a comhi-
nation Of any negative and positive
element, as, for example, fcrric chic
ride (FeCl2). When a base is mixed
with acid it becomes neither acid nor
base, bat reverts into salt and water.
the salt dissolving into the water.
Now that we understand the
meaning of a salt, an acid and a
base, let MS consider water. Water
is a chemical combination Of two
atoms Of hydrogen and one Of oxy-
gen, written H2O. In one scnse-at
least according to the svmhol-that
is a salt, the positive II uniting with
the negative o. In another H2O is

one of the three. Water If neutral,
which accounts for its high value in
chemical experiments Of all sorts.

MAIL CLERK WILL LOSE LIMB

The people of Liberal will remem-
ber the case OF w. D. Settle, the mail
clerk who weE' shot while on duty
about two years ago, and who was
laid up in a hospital here for some
time as a result of the same. The
following regarding him appeared in
Tuesdays Hutchinson News under a
Pratt date line:
"W. D. Settle, the mail clerk who
was shot while on duty in a mail car
between Dalhart, Texas, and Liberal,
year ago last January, has just re-
turned from hospital at Chicago,
ILL.,, where he was taken soon after
the accident. He states that he has
at last consented to have his leg re-
moved, after nearly two years of in
tense suffering In an effort to save II.
Settle was working in his car
when his helper became insanely en-
ragged after debauch In which whis-
key counted, and without warning,
shot Settle In the leg, splintering the
bone just below the hip. He was
first treated at Liberal and later TAX
en- to Chicago, and has been there
ever since. Soon after, his wife was
taken to a tubercular sanitarium in
Colorado and there, separated by
many hundred miles, these two peo-
pie have made brave fight for life
against great odds.
HE has often written his chief
clerk and others of the railway mail
clerks, and each letter has been one
full of hope, and filled with spirit
of contentedness that has been
wonder to his co-workers. They have
all assisted him in financial way,
and great interest is centered in his
unusually sad and lengthy fight for
life. He is now in Kansas City hos
pital, where the operation will take
place to remove the infected limb"
