To Make Conner Oxide.

An excellent way to make copper oxide for use in batteries is as follows: Take a quantity of copper filings or fine copper shavings and heat them in a cast iron container or in a crucible till they are red hot. Stir them with an iron rod, and while still stirring sprinkle little water over the filings until they become ocher red. You will then have a good quality of copper oxide
 Copper oxide plates may be made as follows: Mix the granulated or coarse copper oxide with 5 per cent or 10 per cent of magnesium chloride and heat the heavy mass in forms made of iron sheeting, the forms being of the size of the wanted plate The more chloride Of magnesium used the more porous the plates will be. The coarser the copper oxide the better will be the results.-Popular Science Monthly and Worlds Advance.

SLEUTHS TRACE JITNEUR THROUGH. NEW SKID CHAINS.
Recover Pawn Ticket for Furs Valued at $2OO,
 Gone From Gar

Tracing of an unknown jitneur by 8 new pair of skid chains has resulted in the recovering of a s200 set of furs pawned in New York, belonging to Miss M. H. sturges and the arrest of BenJamin Pomerantz, aged p, of 430 State street. who has confessed to the theft
 Miss Sturges had taken the jftney to her home in Sport Hill. On getting out of the car she missed her furs. Going back immediately she failed to find them. The driver told her that she probably had lost them while driv- ing.
 The matter was reported to Motor cycle Patrolmen Gorgas and Higgins, who instituted search upon the vague statement made by Miss Sturges that she had to wait while the jitneur bought and applied a new pair of skid chains.
 In the city court today Pomerantz was continued under $500 bond while a detective went to New York with the pawn ticket for the goods which had been pledged for $25.

cnmMelI,s May.

In the days when Oliver Cromwell was lord protector of England there was no fine discrimination to favor members of an embassy. When such members committed crimes against the law of the land they were held to the same accounta bility as though they had been natives. So it was that on July 10, 1853, Don Pantaleoa Sa, a Portuguese nobleman, brother of the ambassador from that country to Eng land and a knight of Malta, was be headed on Tower hill. He had killed an Englishman, mistaking him for an- other. The Portuguese took refuge with his brother, the ambassador, who claimed that by the law of nations his house was an inviolable sanctuary for all his countrymen. Cromwell sent messenger to state that if the criminal was not given up to the civil authort- ties the soldiers would be withdrawn from guarding the embassy and the mob left to do as it pleased. Every effort was made by the Portuguese and other ambassadors to save Don Panta- Icons life, but without avail. Crom- well made no other reply than, Blood has been shed. and justice must be satisfied. ed."-Indianapolis News.

 'BRANDEIS' NAME.

Washington, March 14-Fornaer President Taft and six other former Presidents of the American Bar As socfation today protested to the Sem ate Judiciary subcommittee against confirmation of the nomination of Louis D. Brandeis for the supreme court. The others were Simeon B. Baldwin, Frances Rawle, Joseph H. Choate, Elihu Root, A1oorefeld Story and Peter w. Meldrim.
 The first six sent a letter stating that they felt under the painful duty to say to you that in their opinion taking into view the reputation character and professional career of MT. Louis D. 5Brandeis, he is not a fit person to be a member of the su- preme court of the United States
 MT. MeIdrinn wrote from Savannah, Ga:
 My reason for refusing to approve was that the reputation of MT. Bran deis at his home bar makes him an unfit person to be appointed
 Both letters were read to the com
 nittee today by Austen G. Fox at- torney for the opposition to the con- firmation at the reopening of public hearings.
