Can You Tell?
BY Il. j. and 4. W. Bodmer
Who Discovered Oxygen Gas

The discovery of oxygen is credited
/ to Joseph Priestley, a writer on re.
ligious subjects, who spent his leisure
IN conducting chemical experiments.
His interest in such things began by
watching the bubbles of fixed air"
(carbonic acid sasD rising from some
beer vats in brewery near his home
One day in 1714 he happened to take
red powder lrnercuric oxide and for
his experiment put il into a bulb con-
nectcd with tube filed with mercury.
the other end Of the tube leading into n
glass jar being filled with mercury also.
He then heated the red powde- with, a
burning glass and soon a gas arose
from 1t and passed along the tube into
the jar. As this gas entered the lar

| mad jar filled with what he SUPPOSED
TO be fixed air" When, however, he
tested IT he discovered that he had an
entirely new gas. Unlike fixed air.
which would not burn. he found tha, a
lighted candle placed in it burned much
more brightly, that red hot charcoal
burst into fame and burned furiously
that mouse placed In it became more
lively than mouse ever had been be-
fore, and that when he breathed. il into
his lungs he became exhilarated.
While he really did not Understand
just what he had discovered he wa,
given credit for it, for he had showed
oxygen TO be the chief agent in com
/ bustion and respiration. Anothe,
chemist, Lavoisier, later solved tho
riddle. Priestley had separated mercuric
oxide into pure mercury and gas La.
vosier thought that II he could make
mercuric oxide by heating mercury in
the air and then afterward separate i,
again into mercury and gas, it would
prove that the gas came out of the air
As he was successful, the discovery OF
oxygen In the air was accomplished.

GIRL PEDESTRIANS

And still the girl pedestrians con-
tinue to stop at Phoenix on their
cross country trips.
Wearing the bifurcated garments
so necessary in their present occu-
patton and filled with interesting ex-
periences Of their travels, Pearl Han
sci and Gertrude Mangus, stenogra-
piers from Chicago, arrived in this
city Friday evening on their way to
Los Angeles. They started from the
Windy City on October IL last year
and came by the way Of Omaha and
Denver.
They declare they had no money
when they started and have made
their way by selling newspapers and
small novelties. Thus far, they de-
clare, they have never been entirely
"broke," but have come mighty near
it several times. They will leave
Phoenix on Monday on the last lap
of their trip.
Walking seems to agree with these
young women who say they expect to
continue this novel pastime until they
have traversed the whole of the
United States. Yes, they have had
adventures in number, but they al
ways managed to look out for them
selves, and in fact they bear the ap-
pearance of being able to do just
that thing.

ON FRENCH LEAVE
FROM COUNTY JAIL

When Jailer Bob Hayes of the
county jail stopped yesterday morn
ing about g.: 80 o'clock to answer the
telephone in the sheriffs office, A. C.
Cook, a trusty prisoner, whom Hayes
had just let out of Jail to get a bucket
OF coal, continued on his way to the
coal pile in the court yard. After an
swering the telephone Hayes went out
to see If Cook was getting the coal.
The bucket was standing beside the
pile of coal, but Cook was nowhere
in sight. He has not been seen since
Cook, alias A. c. Goldman, was held
in the county jail on a charge of forg-
cry. He had been made an inside
trusty by Paul Jones, chief jailer,
with the understanding that he was
not to be allowed outside OF the Jail
doors. This, Jailer Jones said, was
known by Hayes, but when Cook in
formed Hayes yesterday morning that
they needed coal in the Jail, Hayes
let him out Of the building.
Cook, the officers say, still has
about two years time to serve on a
penitentiary sentence given him in
Prescott in 1919. While serving this
sentence Cook made his escape in
May, 1920, from the Superior road
camp, taking with him several of the
prison printed check forms. He was
captured several weeks later in Texas
and returned to the state peniten-
tiary.
In August, 1920, he was brought TO
Phoenix for trial on two charges of
forgery in connection with the $50
checks. He was convicted on one of
the charges and sentenced to serve
from eight to ten years. On an ap-
peal to the supreme court the case
was sent back to the superior court
for new trial in December, 1921.
Cook was brought back from the state
prison and new complaint was filed
against him in the Justice court. On
Jan. s, 1922, he was held to answer
to the superior court on a charge of
forgery by Justice Mckee and was
waiting trial in the superior court
when he escaped.
