The Story of Argon.
For many years chemists discovered
a difference between the weight of the
nitrogen of the air and that obtained
from other sources. For instance a given
Wt of atmospheric nitrogen was
about one-half of l per cent heavier
than thatgotelsewhcro. Lord Rayleigh,
thenoblemnn chemist of England, ob-
tained nitrogen frmn four different sub-
ltances at the laboratory which he
maintained at his country home in Be-
sex. It proved to be of exactly the same
density from all fear substances Then
Rayleigh got nitrogen from the air by
three diflerent methods. These three
specimens were also of the same density,
uni All were more dense than the speci-
mglppfinitrogen obtained from the four
'Vlmical substances. There was the
limo discrepancy that had been noted
by others, the atmospheric nitrogen was
ale-half l per cent denser than the oth-
erspecimens. Tho diil’crcnce was con-
stant. Two conclusions could be drawn
from this. One was that the nitrogen
at the air existed in a different form
from what it did in other situations. an
allotropic form, as tho chemists say.
The other conclusion was that there was
something else in the atnmphcrc than
theoxygen and nitrogen. so long sup-
posed to be its main constituents, a new
elementary substance, in short. and that
it existed as a gas in combinatilm with
the nitrogen of the air. The second the-
os‘y was the one udoptcd by Lord Ray"
leigh.
His first stop was to bring about by
means of the elmet‘ricul current a chom-
icel union of atmospheric nitrogen with
oxygen, producing nitrous oxide. After
this substance was absorbed thcro rc-
lnlined still a heavy gas that certainly
was diflorent from any known sub-
stance. A gas that will not readily unite
with other gases in chemical combina-
tim is scientifically said to be “inert. ”
10rd Rayleigh found tho 11qu gas to be
themed inert element known thus for
”chemistry. Other chemists also oh-
tIinetl the new gas. It was called “or-
gm. ” Its discovory is one of tho impor~
hilt chemical achievements of the nine-
teenth century. ”or American Eflirklll

What to Do With the I'nwortlly Poor.
Society has for many years been wres-
than with the problem of caring for the
worthy poor. In this nineteenth century
it is becominga still more diilic-ult prob-
lem what to do with the unwurthy poor.
Vicious tramps. whining beggars of
both sexes and mlorifcrons frauds of all
kinds are becoming nearly as common
in this country as they have long been
in Europe. The tramp is today more of
u memice to our American civilization
than the criminal is.
The evil hits reached the unbearable
point. Every large city in tho country
is loaded down with foul, vicious va-
grants. The trump must be “mended or
ended." United effort on the part of
those who ought to take the matter in
hand can rid the United States of these
creatures in one your. Society begins to
wake up to this. And. as often happens,
the city can learn a valuable object les—
son from the country. In each county in
the rural regions tlmre is the ptm farm.
The authorities sentencethose unable or
unwilling to take care of timinsclves to
this farm to remain till they die or be.-
come self supporting. Where such farms
are not run as a political soft job, they
accomplish the end designed for them
better than any other agent yet devised.
It is precisely the plan (Jonnt Rumford
adopted when be rid Belgium of trumps.
Ho reasoned that chronic. laziness is a
disease, like insanity. and that nothing
will cure it but dim of wrsistent work
given through a term of years.
The point is to give a city authority
by law to sentence tramps and begging
impostcrs to a poor farm which shall be
duly provided. The sentence should in
evcrycnsc be long enough to m-complish
two objects: First, the ridding of com-
munity [wrnmncntly of thcsc warts upon
civilized sm-icty; sccond, to make them
self supporting. Both objwts can be
an'hicvcd by making thctcnn of confirm
mcut upon the poor farm long cnongh.
In addition to this, police station lodg»
lug lionscs ought to be abolished. This
would [wrhupsoncc or twice n ycar Work
:l hardship to some worthy [u-rson. but
that is nothing to the hardship tlu- stn~
