Col ltieo Dgt Moreau a local capitalist bond holder and landlord of several tenement booses of this city and Owosshyso recently Wrote to Commissioner Oak-man of Detroit enquiring whether a poor mi piers pension of 912 per month was exempt from taxation Mr Oak-man made a characteristic reply saying that any board of review that axed a poor soldiers pension of 12 pet month ought to be kicked We are in doubt whether Bob is coming out to do the kicking or whether be will delegate that exbileratlng duty to the Colonel or whether it is to be a genuine physical kick or the usual mental kick expressed by the vocal organs put up by those who dislike to pay their taxes II it be tbe former we would suggest that Bob come himself if the iattor we believe the Colonel wiH do It justice

However in justice to Mr Oakman we wOl state that we believe that he did not understand tbe facts In the ease Mr Korean an esteemed Citizen and veteran of the war of 61-4raquo Is tbe owner besides government bondof two hooves In this city aa as many more In Owosao and ha a 1000 certificate of deposit in the first national bank io this city The latter be ctatmed ought not to be accessed because it was savlags from pension money drawn from the United Stales government Supr C D Smith did not agree with him and so placed n on the assessiaent roll A recent letter from Mr Oakman claims it should beaeseaaed as well a does the deputy auditor genshyeral to whom Cltv Atty- Park-sr wrote for an opinion which is m follow

last re ived in wblt^ you ask If f 1000 la the bank evidenced by oertlflcate of deposit and owmed by an old sold lev which was originally rectved by him from the govei-nment ai pension mouey is subject to taxation I desire to call your attention to subdivision 4 of see-tlon 0 of the general tax law This secshytion designates the personal property exemptions enl uiraquodiSon 4 provides that pensions receivable from tbe Cnited State shall be exempt from taxation Pensions actually received and which have been mingled witk other personal property in possession of the pensioner are not exempt from taxation The only exemption lu the law betag pensions receivable Under tbe facts submitted by yon I am clearly of the opinion that this money would be subject to aesess-oaent as a persona] property credit This in my opinion would laquolo ue true of pensions received where the money had been converted to the use of the penshysioner an Jcutject to his control as the saute under such circumstances would not be a pension reeel vable from the goy- erumenL I know of no late case in this state in which this question bas been adjudicated but the above has been tbe uniform ruling of tbis department and tbe auditor generals department under the present tax law

You also state that a certain party bought a number of shares of bank stock and gave a mortgage back for tbe purshychase price that he is assessed for tbe bank stock and you ask it he is entitled to nave tbe mortgage on tbe stock set off against the tax on tbe stock In reply thereto I would say that debts whether evidenced by a mortgage note or otherwise under the general tax law of tbis state can only be deducted from perrons] property credits Shares of stock in a bank are assessed at their true cash value after deducting tbe real esshytates assessed to the bank and are i n no way a credit from which debtc may be deducted under the general tax law of tbis state Respectfully your

Thtill ValleyOct 1 1941mdashThe Fifth Bengal and the Thirty-third Queens passed through this morning on their way to the front Had tiffin with the Behgnlese Latest news from home that two attempts had been made on the Queens life by semi-maniacs named FTancU and Bean

H promises to be a hard winter The anow lice has descended a thousand feet upon the peaks but the poase will be opea lor week to come and even if they were blocked we have established so many depots in the country that PoUock and Nott will have no difficulty hi holding their owl They ahall not steel with the fate of Elphloitone artay One sucn tragedy is enough for a century

Elliott of the Artillery and I art answerable for the safety of the eom-bullttnleatione for bull distance of twenty smfles or more from the mouth of the bullalley to the aide of the wooden hrfdge oraquolaquof the Lotar Goodenaugh of the Rlfiea is responsible on the otter side and Lieotenant-Coloiiel Sidney Hershybert of the Engineers ha a general acpervialon over both ae UowL Oar force is not strong enough far the work which has to be done I have a comshypany and a half of oar own regiment and a squadron of Sowars who are of bullo use at all among the rocks Elliott has three guns bat several of his men ere down with the cholera and I doubt if he cs3 enough to serve more than two (Note Capsicum for cholera-tried it)

On the other hand each convoy is fall-lipped with a mane of angled hair and most Satanic sheer No news of the devil to look at hawk-nosed laquoBlaquoay provided with some guard of

its own though it is often absurdly in-efflcleut These Valleys and ravines which branch opt of the main pass are alive with Afreedees and Pathahs who are kee robbers a well as religious fanatics 1 wonder they dont swoop down on some of our caravans They could pit nder them and get back to their mountain fastnesses before we could interfere or overtake them Nothing but fear will restrain them If I had my way I would hang one at the mouth of every ravine as a warning to the gang They are personifications 4o-day from the front

October 2mdashI must really ask Herbert for another company at the very least I am convinced that the communicashytions would be cut off if any serious attack were made upon us Now this morning two urgent messages were sent me from two different points mors than sixteen miles apart to say that there were signs of a descent of the tribes Elliott with one gun and the Sowars went to the farther ravine while I with the Infantryigt hurried to the ether but we found it was a false alarm I saw no signs of the hillmen land though we were greeted by a sputshyter of jcwil bullets wo were unable to capture any of the rascals Woe betide ^hem jf they fall into my hands I Wojld give them as short a shift as ever a Highland cateran got from a Glasgow judge These continued alarms may mean nothing or they may be an indication that the hillmen are assemshybling and have some plan in view

We have had no news from the front for some time but to-day a convoy of wounded came through with the inshytelligence that Nott had taken Ghuznes I hope he warmed up any of the black rascals that fell into his hands No word of Pollock An elephant battery came up from the Punjaub looking In a very good condition There were several convalescents with it going up to rejoin their regiments Knew none of them except Mostyn of the Hussars and young Blakesley who was my fag at Charterhouse and whom I have never seen since Punch and cigars al fresco up to eleven oclock Letters toshyday from Willis amp Co about their little bill forwarded on from Delhi Thought a campaign freed a man from these anshynoyances Wills says in his note that since his written applications have been in vain he must call upon me in person If he calls upon me cow he will assuredly be the boldest and most persevering of tailors A line from Calcutta Daisy and another from Hob-house to say that Matilda comes in for all the money under the wilL I am glad of it

October 3mdash-Glorious news from the front to-day Barclay of the Madras Cavalry galloped through with disshypatches Pollock entered Cabul tri-

on the 16th of last month still Lady Sale has been

ir and brought iafe into the Brit camp together with the other hostage Te Deum laudamusT This should end the whole wretched buatneasmdashthis and the sack of the city I hope Pollock wont be squeamish or truckle to the hysterical party at home The town should be laid la ashes and the intta sown with bullalt Above all the EssldeHey and the

So shall

It Is hard when others are gaining glory and experience to be stuck in this miserable valley I have been out of it completely bar a few petty skirshymishes However we may see some service yet A jemidar of ours brought in a hillmanto-day who says that the tribes are massing in the Terada rashyvine ten miles to the north of us and intend attacking the next convoy We cant rely on information of this sort but there may prove to be some truth in It Proposed to shoot our informshyant so as to prevent his playing the double traitor and reporting our proshyceedings Elliott demurred If yon are making war yon should throw no chance away I hate half-and-half measures The Children of Israel seem to have been the only people who ever carried war to its logical conclushysionmdashexcept Cromwell la Irelandmdash made a compromise at last by which the man is to be detained as a prisonshyer and executed if his information proves to be false I only hope we get a fair chance of showing what we can do No doubt these fellorrs at the front will have C Ba and knightshyhoods showering venon them thick and fast while we poor devils who have had most of the responsibility and siiXieiy will be parsed over completeshyly Elliott haa a whitlow The last rotvoy left us a ku re packet of sauces

October 4mdashThe hillmen really mean brsines this time I think We have had two of om spies come in this morning with the same account about the gathering In the Terada quarter That old rascal Zemaun Is at the head of It and I have recommended the Govern teent to present him with a telshyescope in return for his neutrality Tliere will be no Zemaun to present it to if I can but lay hands upon him We expect the convoy to-morrow mornirg and need anticipate no atshytack until it comes up for theee felshylows fiRht for plunder not for glory though to do them justice they have plenty of pluck when they get startshyed 1 have devised an excellent plan and it has Elliotts hearty support By Jove if we can only manage It it Will iKgt as pretty a ruse as ever I heard of Our intention is to give out that we are going down the valley to meet the convoy and to block the mouth of a j pass from which we profess to expect an attack Very good We shall bullmake a might march to-night and re^ch their camp Once there I shall conshyceal my tiro hundred men in tae wagshyons and travel up with the convoy again Our friends the enemy having fcrd that we intended to goSouth and seeing the caravan going north without us will naturally swoop down upon it under the impression that wo are twenty miles away We shall teach jSeira a l e ^ n that they WOJSlt2 as soon think of stopping a thundershybolt as of interfering again with one of Her Britannic Majestys provision trains I am all on thorns to be off

Elliott has rigged up two of his guns so ingeniously that they look more like costermongers barrows thin anything else To see artillety ready for action in the convoy might arouse suspicion The artillerymen will te in the wagons next the guns all ready to uhlimber and open fire Infantry in front and rear Have told our confishydential and discreet Sepoy servants the plan which we do not Intend to adopt N BmdashIf you wish a thing to be noised over a whole province alshyways whisper it under a vow of seshycrecy to your confidential native sershyvant

faction of seeing our deeds set forth in black and whitemdashif only in my prishyvate log for no eye but my owo I shall describe it all fully as a prepashyration fcr our official account which roust be drawn up when Elliott gets back Billy Dawson used to say that there were three degrees of comparishysonmdasha pre aricatjon a lie and an offishycial account We at least cannot exshyaggerate our success for It would be impossible to add anything to it

We set out then as per programme aad came upon the camp near the bead aftbo ralley They had two weak companies of the 64th with them who faight no doubt have held their own with warning but an unexpected rush of wild hills is a very difficult thin to stand ajprtas With our rateforce-

nothfog between them and victory they left the shelter or the rocks and came rushing down a furious howling throng with the green banner of the Prophet in their vac Nov was our chance and gloriously we utilized irgt From every cranny and slit of (be wagons came a blaze of fire every shot fcf which-told- among the close-packed mob Two or three score rolled traquoVer like rabbits and the rest reeled for a moment and then with their chiefs at their head came on again in a magnifishycent rush It walaquo useless however for undisciplined men to attempt to face such a well-directed fire The leaders were bowled over and the others sifter hesitating for few moments turned and road for the rocks It was our turn now to assume the offensive The guns were unlimt-ered and grape poured into them while our H^ie inshyfantry force advanced at the double shooting and stabbing all whom they overtook Never have-I known tblaquo tide of battle to turn so rapidly and so decisively The sullen retreat beshycame a flight and the Sight a panic-stricken rout until there was nothing left Of the tribesmen except a scattershyed demoralised rabble Eying wildly to their native fastness for shelter anil bullprotection bull

1 was by no means inclined to let thcin off cheaplj xtaw that I had fhem in my power On tiu contrary I detershymined to teach them such a lesson that the sight of amp single scarlet uniform would iu future be a passport in itshyself We followed hard upon the track of the fugitives and entered the Terada defile at theirvery heels bullbullHavlni-de-tnched ChaEuberlain and Elliott with a ccr-j^any on either side to protect my wings I poshed on with my Sepoys and a handful of artillerymen giving them no time to rally or to recover themselves We were so handicapped however by our stiff European unishyforms and by- our want of practice in climbing that we should have been unable to overtake any of the mounshytaineers had it not been for a fortunshyate accident There is a smaller rashyvine which opens into the main pass and in their hurry and confusion some c the fugitives rushed down this 1 saw sixty or seventy of them turn down but I should have passed them by and continued In pursuit of the main body had not one of my scouts come rushing up to inform me that the smaller ravine was a cul-de-sac and that the Afreedeos who had gone up it had no possible means of getting out again except by cutting their way through our ranks Here was an opshyportunity of striking terror into the tribes Leaving Chamberlain and Elshyliott to continue the pursuit of the main body I wheeled my Sepoys into the narrow pass and proceeded slowly down it in extended order covering the whole ground from cliff to cliff Not a jackal could have passed us unshyseen The rebels were caught like rats in a trap

The defile in which we found ourshyselves was the most gloomy and mashyjestic that I have ever seen On eithshyer side naked precipices rose sheer up for a thousand feet or more convergshying upon each other so as to leave a very narrow slit of daylight above us which was farther reduced by the feathery fringe of palm trees and aloes which hung over each lip of the chasm The cliffs were not more than a couple of hundred yards apart at the entrance but as we advanced they grew nearer and nearer until a half company In close o-dlaquor could hardly march abreast A sort of twilight reigned in this strange valley and the dim uncertain light made the great basalt rocks loom up vagte and fantasshytic There was no path and the ground was most uhaveu but I pushed on briskly cautioning my follows to have their Angers on thalr ttttawa

by daybreak though his wagons were so full that we were compelled to leave eeveraTlons of fodder behind ffi order to make room for my Sepoys ani for the artillery About five oclock we in-spanned to use an Africanism and by six we were well on ow way with our escort-aa straasfljai amppd uneonceire-1 as pjsalbiBlaquofa|( heljolfss looking a oara-van as ever invited attack

I could see that It was to be no false alarm this time and i^at the tribes really pgtSABt business From my pest of observation under the canvas screen of one of the wagons I couldmake out turbfthed heads popping up to have a look at us from among the rocks and an occasional scout hurrying northshyward with the news of our-approach It was not however until we came abreast of the Terada Pass a gloomy defile bounded byjgjgantic cliffs that the Afreedees began to show in force though they had ambushed themselves so cleverly that had we not been keenshyly on the lookout for them we might have walked right into the trap As it was the convo lalted upon which the hillmenseeing that they were observshyed opened a heavy but ill-directed fire upon us I had asked Chamberlain to throw-out Ms men in skirmishing orshyder and give them directions to retreat slowly upon the wagons so AS to draw the Afreedees oh T h e rose succeeded to perfection As the redcoats steadishyly retired keeping behind cover as much as possible^ the enemy followed them up with yells of extrtatfon springlBg from rock to rock waving their Jsndis in the- air and hewliug like a pack of demons With their black contorted mocking faces their fierce gestures and their fluttering gar-mentst they would have made a stufv for any painter who wished to port Miltons conception of the army of tie damned From every side they pressshyed In undi seeing as thej thought 1 the hillmen were taking heart and

In the side of ths cliff close to the pile of stones where the hillman were making their last stand there was a cave which looked more like the lair of sohie wild beaampt than a human habishytation Out of this dark archway there suddenly emerged an old cpanmdashsuch a very Very old man that all the other veterans whom I have seen were as chickens compared to him His hair and beard were boLh as Trhitft as snow and each reached more than half way to his waist His face was wrinkled and brown and bony a cross between a monkey and a mummy and so thin and emaciated were his shriveled limbs that rou would hardly have given him credit for having say vitality left wet it not for his eyes which glittered and sparkled with excitement tike two diashymonds in a setting of mahogany This apparition came rushing out of the cave and throwing himself between the fugitives and our fellows motionshyed us hack with aa Imperious a sweep of the hand as ever an emperor used to his slaves

Dr Morgan secured some newly-laid eggs and the skin or film was applied and it was only a short time before the good results were apparent In ten days the film of the eg^ was united securely to the flesh and the wounds were perfectly healed

Ah intersting part ofthe operation tion from a scientific point of view is what is to be the color of the resulting cuticle A microscople examination shows that the skin of the egg is now a part of the skin of Smiths body but it remains white while the other skin is black

it has been supposed that Chichester was the naval official that stood by Dewey but the name or the personality does not matter What is of conseshyquence of real importance is that these words of commendation come from the highest authority on the long disputed point of how much support Dewey had from the British commander in Mcolla bay They p(o on record as final The admiral himself defines that support as being so great that he does not know what might have happened had be been without it The American people canshynot forget this and they would be in-grates if they did

ful phosphorescence of southern seas remarked a traveler from the north to a Washington Star reporter and I have seen pretty fair samples of It in the Atlantic between New York and English porta but I did not know it prevailed to any extent in northern wacers until during the last summer In August last I was on board the revenue cutter VcCullough in the Bering sea about 63 degrees north latitude bound north when one night about ten oclock I happened to go ou deck and I was almost frightened by the sight of te aa The wind was blowing sharp enough to raise the whitecaps and the whole aea looked as if it were lighted from its depths by a million arc lights throwing their whitest rays upward and under the flying foam The hollow of the waves were dark but every creat that broke showered and sparkled as if it were filled with light From the sides of the ship great rolls of broken white liKht fell awsv and ahe left a

brdSLd pathway of eilvery foam aa rar back an the eye could reacjb

But about this hour waa the roost striking display Here it was as if the ship was plowing through a sea of white light and ft the water was thrown back from her prow it fell In glittering piles of light upon the dark surface beyond and was driven fair down blow lighting the depths as if all the electricity of the ocean were shooting its sparkles through the waves and turning itself Into Intxamer-able incandescenls that flashed a Secshyond and then shut out forever I stood on the forecastle deck looking down into the brilliant white turmoil of the waters until I began to feel as If we were afloat upon some silver sea and a really uncanny feeling took possesshysion of me The white skip waa lightshyed by the phosphoreacence of the washyters so that as high up as the deck there was a pale weird white that made one feel as if the Flying Dutchshyman were abroad upon the sea and had passed by us The masts towered In ashy gray above the decks and every rope and line Btood out distinct-1gt in the light but cast no shadow It was all as ghostly aa If we had gone up against the real thing and it was a positive relief to get back into the ward room where there was someshything more human I dont know how long it lasted bat when I went to bed at 11 oclock I could still see the silver shining through the air port in my state room

The process is one that i s about to be introduced in this city on a comshymercial scale and i plant is now near-ing completion

Professor Pictets process consists in the initial produfction of a certain quantity of liquid air which i s stored in tubes Then through this is forced UEucr a pressure of only about one atmosphere or 15 pounds to the inch a stream of atmospheric air This i s cooled in the liquid air but as It rises in a chamber beyond the gases of which i t is composed separate themshyselves by gravity aud run off in separshyate tubes

The ogygen being slightly the heavshyier flows out through the lower tubes while the nitrogen goes off above in addition to these gases the air conshytains as an impurity carbonic acid gas a n d t h i s It i s asserted leaves the machine i s a liquid form being reshyduced to that form by the low temper ature

The two products by which a direct commercial use are expected to be found are the oxygen and the liquid carbonic acid gas The latter already has a Axed place in the market and

A COAT WHICH GREW

The Story of a Clever Prisoners Plan for Escape

Green Casey a convict at San Quen-tin has won the admiration of all his fellow-convicts at the prison for the novel contrivance he has invented in order to make hLi escape from the prison walls some time ampm and through Sheriff Iangdon cf Santa Clara county the story has leaked o u t bull

Casey was a Mad of trusty around the prison ground and wailti n-ork-ing iu one of the giounde in the vicinity of the prison he took it into his he1 that he would like to escape and wes beginciJis to tax his mindas to tho most advantageous way to snit his purpose As lie v as stroiln^ around oil the green grass which grows la abunlt3an(e around the prison an idea struck him that if hft could imitate the grass by some meana he could elude the watchful sentries an J make good his escape

Through tlio aid of his convict friends he procured Rome piecesof burlap and with tho aid of sonic iope made them into a l e n s coat that would cover him completely when lyiiit oil the grass He then secured soma wheat from the prison stable and sowed it on the flrst layer of his coat He cast it down carelessly at one end of the prison grounds and watered It dailygt In a few weeks the grass grew UP through the sack coat and before a great while the piece of burlap was conformed into a grassy lawn

He was now rea^dy to carry out his plans and patiently awaited an opshyportunity At last he succeeded m getting his new contrivance across to the northwest of the prison and in a few minutes was under his grassy cent

Slowly he crept along with the cleverness of a worm and from all appearance success- would crown his efforts But his progress waa too rapid and very soon he heard footshysteps coming In his direction The moving grass plot which was slowly making its way up the hillside soon came to a sudden standstill a s tho eye of a guard had noticed the grass moving and came to investgate the phenomenon A kick in tbe ribs ap prised Casey that his plan had been discovered Tbe guard took Casey and a red shirt now covers his breast mdashSan Francisco CalL

brdSLd pathway of eilvery foam aa rar back an the eye could reacjb

But about this hour waa the roost striking display Here it was as if the ship was plowing through a sea of white light and ft the water was thrown back from her prow it fell In glittering piles of light upon the dark surface beyond and was driven fair down blow lighting the depths as if all the electricity of the ocean were shooting its sparkles through the waves and turning itself Into Intxamer-able incandescenls that flashed a Secshyond and then shut out forever I stood on the forecastle deck looking down into the brilliant white turmoil of the waters until I began to feel as If we were afloat upon some silver sea and a really uncanny feeling took possesshysion of me The white skip waa lightshyed by the phosphoreacence of the washyters so that as high up as the deck there was a pale weird white that made one feel as if the Flying Dutchshyman were abroad upon the sea and had passed by us The masts towered In ashy gray above the decks and every rope and line Btood out distinct-1gt in the light but cast no shadow It was all as ghostly aa If we had gone up against the real thing and it was a positive relief to get back into the ward room where there was someshything more human I dont know how long it lasted bat when I went to bed at 11 oclock I could still see the silver shining through the air port in my state room

No senator or any other person ever spoke to we about being interested in the construction companies which built that road I have never invested or had investshyed for me one dollar in any property in Cuba and neither I nor any of the friends around me have ever made a hundredth part oi n mill out of the island In any way Further than that I have consistently reshyfused since I resumed as secretary 6t war to take part in any investments in Cuban property I was asked to go into the railshyroad now being built on the island and reshyfused I have also been asked to go into timber land purchases and purchases of tobacco or sugar lands These things I have refused to considerVand I never exshypect to have any investments there alshythough the field is promising I should not like to have anybody think that I had used information gained as secretary of war lor my own private gain as some might if I should Invest money in Cuba even now

Fewer Lynching Probably ninety-nine newspaper

readers out of every hundred if asked for their impressions at the end of 1S93- would have said that they supshyposed there had been more- cases of lynching hi this country hut year than In any previous twelvemonth It is therefore a pleasant surprise to find that the statistician of the Chicago Tribune who has kept track of the figures for many years can report that the record was fealty the smallest since 1885 There is no explanation of the apparent mystery which is not geaeraly thought of Public sentiment against lynching has been growing steadily throughout the country and especially in the south where tho practice has been most common The result i s that the press gives much greater pubttetty to report of all such outrages now than formerly and 1GT cases dating 1639 consequently atshytracted more attention than wosd vwivlaquo i s nwuf oftlaquosa years ago Y Bvcning P o s t

A COAT WHICH GREW

The Story of a Clever Prisoners Plan for Escape

Green Casey a convict at San Quen-tin has won the admiration of all his fellow-convicts at the prison for the novel contrivance he has invented in order to make hLi escape from the prison walls some time ampm and through Sheriff Iangdon cf Santa Clara county the story has leaked o u t bull

Casey was a Mad of trusty around the prison ground and wailti n-ork-ing iu one of the giounde in the vicinity of the prison he took it into his he1 that he would like to escape and wes beginciJis to tax his mindas to tho most advantageous way to snit his purpose As lie v as stroiln^ around oil the green grass which grows la abunlt3an(e around the prison an idea struck him that if hft could imitate the grass by some meana he could elude the watchful sentries an J make good his escape

Through tlio aid of his convict friends he procured Rome piecesof burlap and with tho aid of sonic iope made them into a l e n s coat that would cover him completely when lyiiit oil the grass He then secured soma wheat from the prison stable and sowed it on the flrst layer of his coat He cast it down carelessly at one end of the prison grounds and watered It dailygt In a few weeks the grass grew UP through the sack coat and before a great while the piece of burlap was conformed into a grassy lawn

He was now rea^dy to carry out his plans and patiently awaited an opshyportunity At last he succeeded m getting his new contrivance across to the northwest of the prison and in a few minutes was under his grassy cent

Slowly he crept along with the cleverness of a worm and from all appearance success- would crown his efforts But his progress waa too rapid and very soon he heard footshysteps coming In his direction The moving grass plot which was slowly making its way up the hillside soon came to a sudden standstill a s tho eye of a guard had noticed the grass moving and came to investgate the phenomenon A kick in tbe ribs ap prised Casey that his plan had been discovered Tbe guard took Casey and a red shirt now covers his breast mdashSan Francisco CalL

But Quilley had set his heart on one of these farms and was going to look over the old Wilcox place unshyinhabited for 20 years and then call on its owner Whtn he returned that night he was the owner of several acres of mountain side a goodly part Of it being composed of ledges and cliffs sloping toward the Connecticut river and its fertile i e U s but stopshyping at the borderland of the really valuable soil When he went to the bank the next day he also visited the registry of deeds He had spent $300 on his farm with an added mortgage of $200 leaving the residue of his litshytle fortune tor the purchase of tools seeds and another horse He postshyponed the purchase of a cow until he had something to feed her on the outshylook jfor pasturage being extremely dubious as all the acreage available for that purpose had grown up to bushes In less than a week Quilleyshyvilie was deserted and the passerby would have noted that whatever was left behind was offered for sale

MONEY OUT OF AIR

Plant to Sell Oxygen Liquefied Car bottle Acid and Maybe Nitrogen

Prof itaoul Pictot of Geneva Switshyzerland has i n v e n t s a process for the separation of the oxygen and nitro-

The process is one that i s about to be introduced in this city on a comshymercial scale and i plant is now near-ing completion

Professor Pictets process consists in the initial produfction of a certain quantity of liquid air which i s stored in tubes Then through this is forced UEucr a pressure of only about one atmosphere or 15 pounds to the inch a stream of atmospheric air This i s cooled in the liquid air but as It rises in a chamber beyond the gases of which i t is composed separate themshyselves by gravity aud run off in separshyate tubes

The ogygen being slightly the heavshyier flows out through the lower tubes while the nitrogen goes off above in addition to these gases the air conshytains as an impurity carbonic acid gas a n d t h i s It i s asserted leaves the machine i s a liquid form being reshyduced to that form by the low temper ature

The two products by which a direct commercial use are expected to be found are the oxygen and the liquid carbonic acid gas The latter already has a Axed place in the market and

A COAT WHICH GREW

The Story of a Clever Prisoners Plan for Escape

Green Casey a convict at San Quen-tin has won the admiration of all his fellow-convicts at the prison for the novel contrivance he has invented in order to make hLi escape from the prison walls some time ampm and through Sheriff Iangdon cf Santa Clara county the story has leaked o u t bull

Casey was a Mad of trusty around the prison ground and wailti n-ork-ing iu one of the giounde in the vicinity of the prison he took it into his he1 that he would like to escape and wes beginciJis to tax his mindas to tho most advantageous way to snit his purpose As lie v as stroiln^ around oil the green grass which grows la abunlt3an(e around the prison an idea struck him that if hft could imitate the grass by some meana he could elude the watchful sentries an J make good his escape

Through tlio aid of his convict friends he procured Rome piecesof burlap and with tho aid of sonic iope made them into a l e n s coat that would cover him completely when lyiiit oil the grass He then secured soma wheat from the prison stable and sowed it on the flrst layer of his coat He cast it down carelessly at one end of the prison grounds and watered It dailygt In a few weeks the grass grew UP through the sack coat and before a great while the piece of burlap was conformed into a grassy lawn

He was now rea^dy to carry out his plans and patiently awaited an opshyportunity At last he succeeded m getting his new contrivance across to the northwest of the prison and in a few minutes was under his grassy cent

Slowly he crept along with the cleverness of a worm and from all appearance success- would crown his efforts But his progress waa too rapid and very soon he heard footshysteps coming In his direction The moving grass plot which was slowly making its way up the hillside soon came to a sudden standstill a s tho eye of a guard had noticed the grass moving and came to investgate the phenomenon A kick in tbe ribs ap prised Casey that his plan had been discovered Tbe guard took Casey and a red shirt now covers his breast mdashSan Francisco CalL

But Quilley had set his heart on one of these farms and was going to look over the old Wilcox place unshyinhabited for 20 years and then call on its owner Whtn he returned that night he was the owner of several acres of mountain side a goodly part Of it being composed of ledges and cliffs sloping toward the Connecticut river and its fertile i e U s but stopshyping at the borderland of the really valuable soil When he went to the bank the next day he also visited the registry of deeds He had spent $300 on his farm with an added mortgage of $200 leaving the residue of his litshytle fortune tor the purchase of tools seeds and another horse He postshyponed the purchase of a cow until he had something to feed her on the outshylook jfor pasturage being extremely dubious as all the acreage available for that purpose had grown up to bushes In less than a week Quilleyshyvilie was deserted and the passerby would have noted that whatever was left behind was offered for sale

A COAT WHICH GREW

The Story of a Clever Prisoners Plan for Escape

Green Casey a convict at San Quen-tin has won the admiration of all his fellow-convicts at the prison for the novel contrivance he has invented in order to make hLi escape from the prison walls some time ampm and through Sheriff Iangdon cf Santa Clara county the story has leaked o u t bull

Casey was a Mad of trusty around the prison ground and wailti n-ork-ing iu one of the giounde in the vicinity of the prison he took it into his he1 that he would like to escape and wes beginciJis to tax his mindas to tho most advantageous way to snit his purpose As lie v as stroiln^ around oil the green grass which grows la abunlt3an(e around the prison an idea struck him that if hft could imitate the grass by some meana he could elude the watchful sentries an J make good his escape

Through tlio aid of his convict friends he procured Rome piecesof burlap and with tho aid of sonic iope made them into a l e n s coat that would cover him completely when lyiiit oil the grass He then secured soma wheat from the prison stable and sowed it on the flrst layer of his coat He cast it down carelessly at one end of the prison grounds and watered It dailygt In a few weeks the grass grew UP through the sack coat and before a great while the piece of burlap was conformed into a grassy lawn

He was now rea^dy to carry out his plans and patiently awaited an opshyportunity At last he succeeded m getting his new contrivance across to the northwest of the prison and in a few minutes was under his grassy cent

Slowly he crept along with the cleverness of a worm and from all appearance success- would crown his efforts But his progress waa too rapid and very soon he heard footshysteps coming In his direction The moving grass plot which was slowly making its way up the hillside soon came to a sudden standstill a s tho eye of a guard had noticed the grass moving and came to investgate the phenomenon A kick in tbe ribs ap prised Casey that his plan had been discovered Tbe guard took Casey and a red shirt now covers his breast mdashSan Francisco CalL

But Quilley had set his heart on one of these farms and was going to look over the old Wilcox place unshyinhabited for 20 years and then call on its owner Whtn he returned that night he was the owner of several acres of mountain side a goodly part Of it being composed of ledges and cliffs sloping toward the Connecticut river and its fertile i e U s but stopshyping at the borderland of the really valuable soil When he went to the bank the next day he also visited the registry of deeds He had spent $300 on his farm with an added mortgage of $200 leaving the residue of his litshytle fortune tor the purchase of tools seeds and another horse He postshyponed the purchase of a cow until he had something to feed her on the outshylook jfor pasturage being extremely dubious as all the acreage available for that purpose had grown up to bushes In less than a week Quilleyshyvilie was deserted and the passerby would have noted that whatever was left behind was offered for sale

In thisdiscourse DrTahtiage lifts the curtain from eternal felicities and in au unusual way treats of the Heavenshyly world Text L Corinthians 29 Eye hath not seen nor ear heard neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath pre pared for them that love Him

The city of Corinth has been called the Paris of antiquity Indeed for splendor the world holds no such wonshyder to-day It stood on an isthmus washed by two seas the one sea bringshying the commerce of Europe the other sea bring-in] the commerce of Asia From her wharfs in the construction of which whole kingdoms had beeL V sorbed war galleys with three bank of oavs pushed out and confounded the navy yard of nil the world Huge-handed machinery sneh as modem in- prssas and samphire a mountain of

I remark further that we can in this worldget no just idea of the splendors of Heaven John tries to describe them He sttfs ^the 12 gates are 12 pearls and that the foundations of the wall are garnished with all manner of preshycious etones As wye stand looking through the telescope of St John We see a blaze of amethyst and pearl and emerald and sardonyx and chryso-

vention cannot equal ISfted ships from the tea on one side and transported them on trucks across the isthmus and set them down in the sea on tb other side

Oh it was not to rustics who had never seen anything grand that Paul uttered this text They had heard the best music that had come from the best instrument in ail the World1 they had heard songs floating from morning porshyticoes and melting in evening groves they had passed their whole lives among pictures and sculpture and architecture and Corinthian bras which had been molded and shaped unshytil there was no chariot wheel in which it had not eped and no tower in which it had not glittered and no gateway that it had not adorned Ah it was a bold thing for Paul to stand there amid all that and say All this is nothing

These sounds that come from the temshyple of Neptune are not music compared with the harmonies of which 7 speak These waters rushing in the basin of Pyreoe are not pure The statues of Bacchus and Mercury are not exquisite Your citadel of Jkroeorfpihu^ is not strong compared with that which I ofshyfer to the poorest slave that puts down his burden at that brazen poundat Von Corinthians think this is a splendid city Yon think you have heard all sweet sounds and seen all beautiful sights but I tell you eye hath not seen nor ear heard neither have entered Into the heart of man the things whieh God hath prepared for them that love Him - bull bull

You see my teXt sets forth the idea that however exalted bur ideas of Heaven they come far shore of the reality Some wise men have been calshyculating how many furlongs long and wide is the new Jerusalem and they have calculated how many inhabitants there are on the earth how long the earth will probably stand and then they come to this estimate That aftshyer all the nations have been gathered to Heaven there will be room for each soul a room 1$ feet long and 15 feet wide It would not be large enough for you It would not be large enough for me I am glad to know Jhat no hushyman estimate is sufficient to take the dimensions Eye hath not seen nor ear heard nor arithmeticians calcushylated

I first remark that we can get no idea of the health of Heaven When you were a child and you went out in the morning how you bounded along the road or streetmdashyou had never felt sorshyrow or sickness Perhaps later you felt a glow in your cheek and a spring in your step and an exuberance of spirshyits and a clearness of eye that made you thank God you were permitted to live The nerves were harp strings and the sunlight was a doxology and the rustling leaves were the rustling of the robes of a great crowd rising up to praise the Lord You thought that you knew what i t was to be well but there is no perfect health on earth The disease of past generations came iown to us The air that now float upon the earth are not like those which floated above Paradise They ere charged with impurities and distemshypers The moat elastic and robust health of earth compared with that which those experience before whom the laquo(lt have been opened U nothing

I remark further we can get no idea of the reunions of Heaven If you have evrr been across the seas and met|afriend or even an acquaintshyance in some strange land yovj re-member how your blood thrilled and how glad you were to set him What will be our joy after we have passed the seas of death to meet in the bright city of the Lord those from whom we have long been bullseparated After we harve been away froth our friends ten or fifteen years and we fotne upon them we see how differently they look Their hair has turned and wrinkles have come in their faces and we say How you have changed But oh when we stand before the throne all cares gone from the face all marks of sorrow disappeared and feeling the joy of that blessed land methinks we will say to each other with an exultashytion we cannot now imagine How you havechanged In this world we only meet to part It is good-by good-by Farewells floating in the air We hear it at the rail car window and at t s steamboat wharfmdashgood-by Children lisp it and old age answers it Sometimes we say it in a light waymdashgood-by mdash and sometimes with anguish in which the soul breaks downmdashgood-by Ah that is the word that ends the thanksgivshying banquet that is the word that comes in to close the Christmas chant Good-by good-by But not so in Heavshyen Welcomes in the air welcomes at the gates welcomes at the house of many mansions but not good-by That group is constantly being augshymented They are going out from our circles of earth to join itmdashlittle voices j to join the anthem little hands t o take bold in the great home circle little feet to dance in the eternal glee little crowns to be cast down before

It is so firmly settled that the nomshyination will be given to Bryat that all other questions in regards to the canshyvass sink out of sight The candishydate for the head of the ticket is the only issue that can be agreed upon The party in this accepts defeat as a foreordained fact a proclamation of surrender In advance It has nothing to offer the people as a substitute for the prosperity that has come to them tt acts as though well aware that it is useless to fight this grand fact with such side issues as the sort of money with which the people shall be paid so long as there is enough of it or conshycerning what shall be done with Porto PJco and the Philippines now ihampt we have Eot them under our flag The questions concerning the government of these islands are easy of solution but the people know the imminent peril In which their own prosperity vould he placed under a party that had always failed a a business pro-nsoter -whether S under Van Buren Pierce and Buchanan or the two terms of Cleveland Many of then remember the business reverse that came to them and the country genshyerally when they exchanged the Me-Klnley for the Wilson tariff and also vhat followed tile substitution for the latter of the Iliasley tariff Pratec tton and the gold standard they have proved goes enough for them and they are not going to take say more risks least of ail from a Democracy mixed with Populism and dominated by a half-doxen silver kings In adshyhering to Bryan the party confesses that it has s o hope

torts that spring readily to the yan-kee tongue was made by the young DetroSter who recently gave a most entertaining Hectare npoa bh fmpree-fekms of Greece

He came back from abroad on an English veeaei Being genial and of aa iavestigating tarn of mind he was soon on term of intimacy with aQ raquohe officer Because of the ware in wblfh Britain and this country are ie-aperttvely engaged and divided opinshyions as to the merits of these controv-endes earaestt not good-natured dbgt cnraquoltiooe weee of daily occurrence

One afternoon moat of tbe officers were present and debate was running high with thlaquo young DetroUer as the Only champion of Amcri^ He bad his Ixick to the wall atid kept his 15 ad like a veteran lie parried and thrust with such rapidity that his OMsallauts were sole puazltd as to thf best mode of attack

Finally tlie bigengineer made this thrust Well it begins to look to me as though there was no way bat for England to go at it and lick your bloomin country

What agniu ciaie quick aa a flash and with laughing sarcasm

It took a full minute to digest the two words Thee there waa a hearty roar of English hilarity and they patshyted the Detroiter aJmirtngly on the back
