To designate it the latter coined the word “gas,” the term now commonly used 'by dispensers and fountain operators 'in designating the carbon dioxide which puts the sparkle and the fizz into soda water, or, more properly speaking, into carbonated water. The name “soda” came from its first method of production. In 1750, Gabriel Venel, a French physician, mixed two drams of soda and marbleimuriatic) acid in a pint of water contained in an ordinary 'glass bottle. Twenty years laterâ€"in 1770â€"Bergman, a Swedish chemist. generated carbonic acid gas from chalk by the use of sulphuric acid. and invented a generating apparatus which made its production on a com paratively large scale possible. In 1767 Dr. Joseph Priestley, at Leeds, England, made the first-drink- able glass of soda water. It was prepared by pouring water briskly back and forth between two goblets held in a layer of carbon dioxide on the topgof a fermenting mash in a brewery vat. I It is to an English scientist and a ‘ Swedish chemist that the recognition of carbonic acid gas and perfection of methods of producing it are due. _ while an American invented and per- ..fected a distinctive type of apparatus .--â€"the soda fountainâ€"too prepare, chill and dispense carbonated water, and at the same time provide the mechan- ical medium for mixing in palatable form the syrups, flavors and fruits used in conjunction with carbonated water to produce what is known as “soda water.” MOUNTING PHOTOGRAPHS Some Methods of _ Preventing Prints From Curling “ Photographic prints curl when they are mounted bec..use the moisture on the exposed surface of the print evaporates more rapidly than that on the back, and so causes a shrinkage. "That draws the mount out of shape. unless it is very heavy. There are various methods of over- coming the difliculty. You can soak ."the print in a twenty per cent. solu- tion of glycerine and water, and then attach it to the mount by a dab of paste at each corner, or you can use one of the dry mounting methods. Coat the back of the print with white of egg, lay it on the mount and Nothing short of a miracle will get the print ‘Off again, yet the process will not "curl the thinnest mounts. You can also get good results by dissolving white shellac in alcohol, and then painting the back'of the prints with the solution. When the solution is dry, iron the print on, as already do 'scnibed. , You can buy a tissue paper made especially for mounting, or can pro- cure one that will do the work satis- "factorily. Make the coating for the tissue as follows: Gum sandaras, three parts; gum coral, one part; lshellac, one part; resin, one part: :alcohol, three parts; spirits of tur- pentine, three parts. Apply this to lithe tissue paper with a brush and let ’it dry. To mount a print with tissue, lay *the tissue on the mount, and the '_;.photograph on the tissue, and run the -whole with an iron just hot enough - to hiss. when you touch it with a wet 2 finger. â€"â€"â€"â€"_.â€"r.â€"_ Lovers of the' Cat. . A few persons of considerate mind "have always known how to treat the :cat with honor. But perhaps it is hardly necessary to repeat the an- cient story of Mahometâ€"how, rising from his seat, and fearful of awaken- ing the cat that was sleeping on his sleeve, he cut off that part of the gar. .ment and left her undisturbed. Richelieu, also, found pleasure and relief in the society of cats, yet he can be regarded as only incompletely a cat lover. As kittens they appealed to him, and as kittens only. He loved to keep a family of them in his 'study 'until they arrived at a certain age; but when they were three months old, he had tliem taken away and replaced by others that were younger. Mon- taigne also loved cats, and wrote about them, as did Baudelaire and Hoffman and Gautier and Edgar Allan Poe. Temple- of Heaven I China’s famous Temple of Heaven was formerly visited onc~ 1. year by the emperor to give an account of his empire and its affairs during the previous twelve months. This was set forth in writing, and the manu- I I I I I I scripts“ were then placed in the fur-I uses, and inthat way consigned to the empercr in heaven. The Temple of Heaven is one of the most beauti- ful and interesting sights of pictures- I .que Peking. The walls enclosing the temple, the royal apartments, the al- tar. and the grounds a're three miles in circumfe ence, and the white mar- ble structures with their blue and ‘green porcelain tiles have to be seen {.9 be appreciated.

The cost of these tools is not great, and will soon be saved over the cost or repairing by a carpenter. Repairs to buildings should be made just as soon as the necessity for them is discovered. If a. repair is postponed for a more convenient time, in a great many cases that time never comes. and in other cases the cost will be greatly increased. Repairing increases both the appearance of buildings and their life. , Keeping everything in good repair, such as buildings, fences, machinery, Iâ€"IHHr-I‘I-IHHHH , ditches. etc., is the work of a prosper- With the tools listed . ous farmer. here, at hand, afarmer can make repairs quickly at a very little cost.

ACUTE HEARING lScotch Scientist Gave Proof of Ant's Susceptibility to Sound Prof. Pringle, a Scotch scientist, said that eats have the must perfect sound-producing-organs 'yet discovered in insects, and that they are extreme- ly susceptible tosound. He claimed that these. organs are situated in cer- tain segments of the abdomen and that sounds are brought forth by rub- , Of fumre bing, but no one has ever heard ‘ally or mentally.” them, as t? ey are too faint to be de- tected by human ears. Attempts have been made to hear them with the aid of the microphone, but the only sound detected was that of the a race.” crawling Of the ants. ‘ Again in regardto the hearing of ants, careful and extensive experi- ments were conducted with six spe- cies from this country and England, and it was decided that these species could perceive sounds. How they did it was more or less a matter of doubt, as_ some scientists insisted they heard through organs of hearing, while others claimed» that it was through a sense of touch, excited by atmos- pheric vibrations. Prof. Pringle inclined to the opinion that ants hear through the latter medium. Proofs got their hearing were establised by shutting a large number up in a glass box. When they were even violently shaken they did not seemgtobe disturbed in the least, while at the blow of a very shrill whistle close to them they were seen to be perceptiny agitated.
