Gayly Decked Immigrants.
A picturesque party of Italian immi-
grants landed at the barge office the
other day. There were about a dozen
men and six or eight women.- The men
were clothing of a rough, bufi colored
material, with scarfs and caps of bright-
er hues. The women displayed a variety
of gay colors—red, yellow, blue and pink
predominating. Each woman was bare-
headed, but each were ribbons in her
hair and abright colored shawl or apron.
The strangers attracted a great deal of
attention as they struggled up Broadwa
frcm the Battery with their bundles.
They evidently found as much novelty
in their Surroundings as the New York-_
ers found in their quaint appearance.
The women apparently had the keenest
observation and pointed out to their
more stolid male companions various ob-
, jects as the party moved along.
At Rector street they saw a flower
stand, and half a dozen of the women
gathered about it and gave vent to volu-
ble expressions of delight. They dragged
some of the men before the stand and
gesticulated violently. The men tried
to pull away from them, but could not.
After awhile some pieces of money , me
out of the men’s pockets, and 'th
m‘uoh eagerness and chattering the wom-
en selected one flower apiece. The ven-
dor took his pay out of the handful of
American silver tendered him, and the
party moved on, both men and women
as joyous as a lot of school children.—

A Friend of the Farmer.
The hop growers of Otsego county
have discovered what naturalists have
long been trying to make farmers under-
stand—that skunks, instead of being
their enemies, as they formerly Supposed
are among their most neeful friends. .
one hop mar espmesed it. ”News?
we pctcct skunks as carefully as we 0
song birds.”
Hop yards, it appears, are sted by
a certain kind of grub which gnaws off
the tender vines at the root, and this
grub is the favorite food of the skunk.
As a general thing the skunks sally
forth at nightfall, but now and then they
are to be seen at work in broad daylight.
The proceeding is an inté'rcsting one to
watch.
The skunk begins his quest on the ed 8
of the yard, where he cocks his head 0 -
a hill of hops and listens. If a grub is
at work upon one of the four trailing
vines, his quick ear‘fis sure to hear it. At
once he begins to paw up the earth, and
presently he is seen to uncover the grub
and swallow it with unmistakable relish.
Then he listens again, and if he hears
nothing proceeds to the next hill. And
so he goes on till he has had his fill.
Now that the skunks are no longer
molested, they have become compara-
tively fearless. Sometimes, we are told,
they keep up their operations even while
the Cultivator is driven between the
rows—Cor. New York Tribune.
_ The Work of a. London Writer.
“T. P.” stands alone among popular
journalists in that practically all his
work is done for one paper, The Weekly
Sun, of which he is the founder and ed-
itor. He knows as well as any one the
value of his own pen, and he takes care
to write the most important parts of the
paper himself and to append his famous
initials to all his work. A casual glance
through a number of the paper will serve
to show the amount and variety of his
weekly labors.
First there is a review of the “book
of the week,” which invariably extends
over five closely packed columns. This
article, always conspicuously brilliant,
would be a good two days’ work for
any writer. Then there are the editorial
notes from one to two columns; an inter-
view with some Celebrity, one column;
theatrical critiques, two or three eel-
umns, and lastly a few paragraphs on
the correspondence page. All these are
signed “T. P.” Yet Mr. O’Connor. con-

Two Charges. .
There was a suit tried in the United
States circuit court at Raleigh some
years ago in which a Baltimore commis-
sion house was plaintiff and General
Bryan Grimes, who led the last charge
at Appomattox, was defendant. Judge
' Bond, who presided, was strongly anti-v
southern during the war and a citizen
of Baltimore. The late Governor Fowlc,
who was a very eloquent lawyer, repre-
sented General Grimes, and in his ap-
peal to the jury laid full stress on the
character and record of his client and
’ dwelt eloquently on the “last charge at
Appomattox.” Coming out of the court,
he said to the opposing counsel (now
Judge Fuller of the United States land
claims court), “Fuller; that last charge
I ~ at'Appomattox has got me the jury.”
“Yes,” said Fuller very quietly; “and
that last charge‘cf JudgeBond has got

MAKING 1.19011) AIR.
A SCIENTIST EXPLAINS HIS CHEM-
ICAL DISCOVERIES.
Professor Dewar's Expcrlmonts May Prove
to Be the Greatest Investigations of the
Century—Powerful Gases Reduced to a
Fluid State.
The Pall Mall Budget of London pub-
lished an intérview with Professor James
Dewar on what is represented as being
“a. great scientific discovery,” t at of
making liquid air. Introductory t the
interview the article says that “his liq-
uefactions of permanent' gases and the
use of vama to preserve great cold mark
one of the most important chemical dis-
coveries of the century.” It is held by
scientists that any gas may be liquefied
if the pressure and cold may be obtained
and a vessel of sufficient strength to
withstand the great pressures.
Of the gases that may be liquefied car-
bonic acid gas has been found to be the
cheapest and readiest made, and while it
has been known for many years that it
could be liquified it has generally been
so prepared only in small quantities for
scientific uses. , The use of compressed
air as a motive power has presented many
dimculties, the principal one being its
bulkiness; hence large vessels must be
used in order to get a sufficient amount
of motive power, and it is hard to make
these strong enough and at the same time
light in weight.
As a motive power it is used atva pres-_
sure of from 600 to 900 pounds. But if
Professor Dewar has discovered an eco-
nomical and ready way of liquefying it,
it will tend to solve a problem in carry-
ing a motive power in storage bulk that
will be of great benefit to the students in
this line. In the talk with the represent-
ative of The Pall Mall Budget, he says:
“Well, I don’t think there’s very much
to say, because I’ve told all I have to tell
about the matter in my two lectures,
but I do believe there’s a great deal more
to be learned about the subject. You
see, at present we’ve got these gases down
to 210 degrees below zero, and the lowest
possible temperature is 274 degrees be-
low. If we could get some 30 degrees
IOWer down, we might liquefy hydrogen.
Hydrogen has never been liquefied in a
free state yet.
“Now, it’s a strange thing that air can
be made into a homogeneous fluid. You
would think, as oxygen can be liquefied
at ——182 degrees and nitrogen not until
—192 degrees, that as you In." Ie the air
colder and colder the oxygen would be-
come liquid first and then the nitrogen.
I saw that prediction made in a stand-
ard work only'the other day. Now, I
dare say, you will ask why the oxygen
don’t Come down first.”
Stepping quickly back to the desk Pro-
fessor Dewar took up a pencil and began
to draw with rapid strokes on the back
of a letter. The diagram when it was
finished looked more like the law of di-
minishing returns turned up on one side
than anything else that I am acquainted
' WhiIe he drew he rapidly ex-
, plained how the Influence of atmospheric
pressure on the different volumes of ni-
trogen and oxygen in air makes them
boil almost exactly at the same tempera-
ture. As he made each point he frowned
a little, drawing up the wrinkles between
his eyes. “N ow, that, in the old theo-
logical days, would have been taken as
a providential dispensation. The strange
thing is that when liquid air evaporates
again they are under the same pressure,
and the nitrogen goes elf first, as you
would expect.
“Ozone can be liquefied by acting on
the vapor given elf from liquid oxygen
by electricity. It is a. splendid dark blue '
color, almost as dark as indigo. Ozone
has not the same molecule as oxygen,
and the electricity breaks up three twos
into two threes. That is the secret of it.
The queer thing about liquid ozone is
that when it goes back into gas again it
explodes. You wouldn’t think it, but it
is stronger than dynamite as an explo-
sive. It’s simply because the ozone goes
back into the molecular form of oxygen
so fast. The force that comes from the
electricity makes it explode without
meeting with any outside body. It’s a
tremendous explosive.
“We have discovered that liquid oxy-
gen acts as a lens. It is so transparent
to heat, so to speak, that even at 182
degrees below zero you can focus heat
on it from one side and light a. piece of
paper by it on the other. You' know
that’s. just what happens in the earth.
The sun’s heat gets focussed on to the
earth through the lens formed by the
vacuum of space, which is so cold that it
hasn’t any temperature at all—absolute-
ly zero.”
Professor Dewar ve a. lecture on .
“Liquid Air” at the oyal institution in
the presence of the Prince of Wales, the
Duke of York, Lord Salisbury and other
notable persons. -He showed that by the
withdrawal of heat the air is converted
into a liquid with total loss of chemical
properties, incapable of supporting com?-
bustion, or of entering into‘hombination
even with phosphorus and sodium, while
certain physical properties remain. ' The
conversion of oxygen into ozone was also
described, and the retention by Oxygen '
of its peculiar optical properties at the
lowest temperature was demonstrated
by the very dense and well defined bands
of its spectrum. In ordinary conditions
oxygen shows no unreasOnable thermal
absorption, but at low temperature its
' thermal absorptive power becomes mani-
fest.
Thwartlng an Enemy.
Sardanapal'us, the luxurious oriental
monarch, finding himself hard pressed
by his enemies, gathered his guards, his
wives, concubines and children together,
with all his treasures, and set fire to the
building, thus thwarting the hope his
foes- entertained of taking him alive.—

said a lecturer, glaring about him, “than

amount of new insurance actually issued and paid for in the accounts of the year '1892 to One Hundred Million
Dollars, the amount of insurance in force, as above stated, includes the amount of such, voluntary hmxt, with but
a slight increase, unavoidable in closing the December accounts.
I I have carefully‘examined the foregoing statement and
find the sametobe correct.
