A New Element in a Mineral.
It is reported that a new element has
been recognized in a mineral found in
Egypt by Johnson Pasha in 1890. This
mineral, first called “Johnsonite,” but
afterward masrite, consists mainly of
alumininin. manganese, cobalt and iron,
in combination with sulphuric acid. It
dissolves in water and yields on treat
ment with sulphuric hydrogen in an
acetic acid solution a white precipitate,
from which a pure' hydroxide was pre
pared.—New York Journal.
She Did and She Didn’t.
When yon save a lady from being
killed in a runaway and she says
“Thanks," she really means, “The next
time yon do anything of that sort please
don't muss the lace on niv dress.” If
she really felt any sense of gratitude
she would exclaim, “Call around and
I’ll introduce you to my youngest sis
ter.”—Detroit Tribune.

If the Earth Was Frozen.
If this globe were cooled down to 200

In Persia the umbrella was of ancient

A witness in a case recently on trial
in one of the courts in Boston testified
that the defendant was not a drinking
man “and only took cocktails.” Judge
Blank, who presided, is a teetotaler.
He noticed among the spectators a well
known physician, a bonvivant. and at
the recess called him up to the bench
and asked him to define a cocktail.
“A cocktail,” responded the doctor,
“is a feather dipped in an emollient
which is applied to a dry or irritated
throat for the removal of dryness or ir
ritation.”
The learned judge thanked him, bnt
the story that the court subsequently
dipped a feather in vaseline and touch
ed his palate with it under the impres
sion that he was taking a cocktail is
probably a lawyer's yarn. — Boston

Convicts of Abyssinia.
In Abyssinia political offenders and
obstructionists are arrested, chained
and placed on the small table land of
Abba Salama, a high, rocky and precip
itous mountain about thirty miles from
Adowa. So sheer and steep are its
sides that the prisoners are drawn up
by ropes. Their chance of escaping is
impossible, unless they run the risk of
dashing themselves into eternity on the
rocks below. On this lonely height
there is soil on which they may grow
grain, and there are wells with good
water. There is no speaker to keep or
der, and they may, if they choose, abuse
the prime ministers and crowned heads
to their hearts’ content, but they return
no more to the ways of the world.—

Ships crossing the Atlantic in the lati
tude of the Cape Verde islands often en
counter duststorms of longer or shorter
duration. One of the most remarkable
of these paradoxical storms swept down
on the German steamer Argentine in
the summer of 1889. It lasted for four
days, during which time the air was so
full of dust particles as to make high
noonday almost as dark as the darkest
midnight. When the “storm'' was at its
height the sailors were kept busy shov
eling the dust from the steamer's decks.
The machinery was made to work with
great difficulty, and at one time the cap
tain, J. G. Scheon, had grave apprehen
sions that they would be dashed upon
the Cape Verde reefs.—St. Louis Re C
