DEVOURS S LIKE PYRG,
THE WONDERFUL EFFECTS ED BY FLUORINE.
fhe Diamond Only Able to Absolutely Re- sist This Powerful Solvent
Into
Resoarches
the Nature of a Hitherto Poorly
Known Chemical Element,
The alchemists of the middle ages be- lieved that somewbere in the universe was to be fonnd a universal solvent which would dissolve the most refrac- tory substi adily as water dis- solves sugar. They uamed their solvent liquor alkabest, and what time they could spare from the search after the life and the philosopher’s stone was spent in the endeaver to ob- tain it. Science bas yot to prove, by the way, that there was not more method in the madness of the alchemists than is generally supposed, for in the re- markable substance fluorine chemists possess material that approximates very closely to a universal solvent. Its chem- ical evergy is so fierce that, except gold and platinum, nothing can re sist it, and even gold and platinum succumb to fluorine in time. The mere contact of most substances with fluorine is suffi- cient to cause not mere solution, but light, flame and fierce detonations. Dull, inert flint takes fire when exposed to fluorine vapor and becomes a bril- liapt incandescent mass. Lampblack bursts into flame, while charcoal burns with bright scintillations. Only the diamond is able to resist this powerful solyent, to which it does not succumb even at high temperature. The similar element silicon, which can be obtained in a crystalline form closely resembling the diamond, gives a magnificent dis- play in the presence of fluorine, the crystals becoming white hot and throw- ing showers of flery spangles in all di- rections. The beat is so intense that the crystals melt, showing that their tem- perature bas reached 1,200 degrees C.
Phospborus combines fiercely with fluorine. Prussian blue, on account cf the cyanogen it contains, burns witha beautiful pink flame; while from a crystal of iodine placed in fluorine vapor a heavy liquid distills with a pale flame. This liquid—an iodide of fiuorine— etches glass, and if thrown into water hisses like hot iron. The last named metal becomes white hot when exposed to fluorine; even iron rust behaves in a similar manner. Nearly all metals are raised to vivid incandescence in a cur- rent of the gas, many appearing very beautiful, especially aluminium and zinc. If the latter be slightly warmed, it bursts into a white flame too dazzling to gaze at or describe.
Although it bas been known in vari- ous states of combination for many years, baving been first discovered by Schwankbardt of Nuremberg, in 1670, and rediscovered by Scheele in 177], fluorins was not obtained as fincrine in the free state until about si~ years ago, when the French chemist | @ issan suc- ceeded in isolating it by ciuploying a current of electricity from 26 or 28 Bunsen batteries. The current was pass- ed through the compound of fluorine and hydrogen known as hydrofluoric acid, which is similar to hbydrechloric acid. Toimprove the conductivity of the hydrofluoric acid it was necessary to dissolve another fluorine compound in the liquid. As will readily be imag- ined, it is pot so difficult to obtain free fluorine as to keep it when obtained. Every part of the apparatus used by M. Moisean was made of platinum, with screw joints and wasbers of lead, which swell on contact with fluorine, all the stoppers being of fluorspar. Fluorine has a powerful affinity for silicon, one of the principal constituents of glass, so that it was impossible to use glass ves- sels or tubes to contain the gas.
As regards the chemical nature of fluorine, it is a gas at ordinary temper- ature and is the lightest member of the series of elements containing chlorine, bromine and iodine. The attraction of fluorine for hydrogen exceeds tbat of chlorine and is so great that if a slow current of fluorine gas be passed into a tube of fluorspar containing a drop of water a dark fog is produced, which changes presently to a blue vapor con- sisting of ozone—the condensed form of oxygen. The last named substance ap- pears to be one of the few materials which has no affinity for fluorine. Noth- ing is observed to take place between them even when they are heated up to 1,000 degrees F.
So far all experiments had been con- ducted with fluorine gas, which, at the time it was isolated, resisted all at- tempts to reduce it to the liquid state. Six years ago, however, there was no laboratory—such as that at the Royal institution—baving powerful machinery for producing liquid air or liquid oxy- gen at the command of the investigator. In fact, liquid air itself was practically unknown. By the aid of this weapon Professors Dewar and Moissan have suc- ceeded in liquefying fluorine. At the extremely low temperature of liquid oxygen it was found that fluorine did not attack glass, and it was possible to use glass vessels to hold the newly lique- fied element. —CO. F. Townsend in Kuowledge.

NEW WHIST PUNISHMENTS.
They Are to Be maSevoed Immediately by All Clubs, It Is Said.
The American whist congress in con- |
vention assembled has adopted a sliding scaie of punishments for the various high crimes and misdemeanors commit- ted around the whist table. They are to be enforced by all whist clubs immedi- ately. Here are some of them:
‘ailing to notice partner’s lead—to
aad
play for 30 consecutive evenings with |
women.
; : ] Failing to notice partner’s signal for
trumps—death or instruction of one or more young women in the game.
Failing to return partner’s lead of trumps—to be ruled off the track and out of the game for the period of one year.
Not knowing the American leads—to be posted at all clubs and given the cold, clammy cut, the dead hand, the marble heart and the empty pocketbook.
Playing straight American leads when a variation of the same would be better —to be fined $500.
Leading from a sneak—to be banished from polite and other society.
For not knowing the silly English names for the various queer hbands—to be treated with silent contempt.
For preferring lucky whist to dupli- cate—-life imprisonment.
For preferring any other game to whist—to be burned at the stake. —New York Sunday World.
A Quick Witted Irishman.
While Kit Carson was trapping a party on the Arkansas river O’ green Irishman, went out alone one evening to hunt for game. It was the law of the camp that every man who went out for game should bring in ‘*meat’’ of some kind.
There was a small herd of buffaloes ,
feeding about 600 yards from the camp, and presently those who were cooking supper heard the report of O’Neil s rifle. In a few minutes they saw O’Neil run- ning for the camp, bareheaded, without
his gun and chased by a buffalo bull. ‘‘Here we come!’’ shouted the Irish- man. ‘‘Stop us! Stop us!’’
The bull was not more than six feet behind the Irishman, who, tripping over a tent rope, tumbled headforemost into a puddle of water, capsizing several camp kettles containing the trappers’ supper. Carson jumped for his rifle and dropped the bull.
As O’Neil rose from the puddle he was saluted with shouts of laughter. But his Irish wit saved him. ‘‘Sure,’’ he shouted, dripping with mud and wa- ter, ‘‘haven’t I f&tched the mate into camp? There was no bargain whether it should be dead or alive.’’—‘‘The Old Santa Fe Trail.’’
A Question of Quantity.

Approaching a Duke. s seem to be regarded in Scot- land as little less than sacred, says a correspondent. The otber day the pres-
int 4
bytery of Dunkeld wished to have access |
to a charter said to be in the possession of the Duke of Atholl, in virtue of which be holds the cathedral church of Dunkeld in trust for the inhabitants of the parish. The presbytery, accord- ing to th local n WSpapers at vast length the question of how they should ‘‘approach his grace.’’ The soli i- tude expressed for the feeling of grace, and the extreme anxiety display- ed to eliminate from the ‘‘approaching’’
deputation members whose names might be offensive to him, was downright
ssed
, discu
marvelous. One member, indeed, ac- cording to the publisbed record of the deliberations of the presbytery, recom-
mended that the deputation approach ‘‘in a quiet, easy, gentlemanly way, which he was quite sure would be ap- preciated by bis grace, the duke.’’ From
this ic might be imagined that had it not been for this obviously wuecessary
recommendation the members of the presbytery might have been tempted to approach the duke crawling aloug on their stomachs.—Philadelpbia Press.
Such Is Fame.
The memory as well as the gayety of nations can be easily eclipsed. It is now not many years since the Empress Eu- genie and her slightest movements were faithfully chronicled by that Parisian daily press which at the present time seems to haye no spare type for any- thing outside l’affaire Dreyfus. An en- terprising editor, however, of a French annual last year instituted a competi- tion to which the solution bas just been published. The test took the shape of a
composite face made up from the fea- tures of four well known public person- ages. The correct solution turns out to be that the visage is composed of (i) the mouth of Leo XIII, (2) the right eye of Bismarck, and (3) the left eye of Mme. Sarah Bernhardt. As for the fourth component—the nose—it turna out to be the nose of the Empress Eu- genie. Out of 5,000 competitors, 3,600 have guessed one feature correctly, 1,600 have given two, and 120 three. Nobody has guessed the lot, and one—let it be noted—one only bas identified the nose of the Empress Eugenie.—Pall Mall Gazette.
Incense For the Dragon King.
In an imperial decree just issued the emperor of China says: ‘‘It is therefore with a grateful heart to high heavey that we now learn thy’ ‘e Yellowriver has at this time of ti ~ear remained peaceful, and that beay ‘as protected and nourisbed our peop! ©: this junc- ture. Wealso commend: . said gov- ernor’s watchfulness and vigilance in keeping clear the said river at the head
