TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, NOVEMBER 5, 1008. t MISLEADING NAMES. term* In Science That Belie the Prod ucts to Which They Apply. There are erme In certain depart ments of a«.»*nce that positively mis name the products to which they are applied. ■ The word “oil” tn Its more compre hensive and Indiscriminate nses Is made to Include hydrocarbons, like pe troleum. and also many other sub stances that hare an oily appearance, like "oil of vitriol." which la not oil at all. but sulphuric acid. Strictly speaking, the mineral oils. Including all petroleum products, are not oil. although we speak of “coal oil" and “kerosene oil.” The best classifications of oils do not Include mineral hydrocarbons, like naphtha, paraffin and petroleum, but treat only the two well defined groups —fixed oils and fats and the essential or volatile oils. “Copperas” Is not copper, but sul phate of iron. “Salt of lemon” has nothing to do with the fruit of the lemon tree, but Is potassium binoxalate or potash treated with oxalic acid. "Carbolic acid” Is not an acid, but a phenol. In structure It Is allied to the alcohols and has only slight acid prop erties. “Soda water" has no trace of soda. “Sulphuric acid" contains no sulphur. “Sugar of lead” Is Innocent of sugar. “Cream of tartar" has nothing to do with cream nor “milk of lime” with milk. “German silver" Is a stranger to silver, and “black lead” Is not lead at all, but graphite. “Mosaic gold” Is a sulphide of tin. These misleading names have come down from the vocabulary of an early and Inexact chemistry. As popular science extends the old terms are yielding to the more scientific nomen clature. BUYING A RING. JOKED HIMSELF IN. How “Private” John Allen Got Himeelf Elected to Congrees. Here is Champ Clark's defense of humor, if It needs one: “The dry-as-dusts solemnly assev erate that humor never did any good. Now. let's see. How did 'Private' John Alien of Mississippi get to congress’ Joked himself in. One bit of humor sent him to Washington, a national lawmaker. Opposing him for the con gressional nomination was the Confed erate General Tucker They met on the stump General Tucker closed one of his speeches as follows: “ ‘Seventeen years ago tonight, my fellow citizens, after a hard fought battle on yonder hill. I bivouacked un der yonder clump of trees. Those of you who remember as 1 do the times that tried men's souls will not. I hope, forget their humble servant when the primaries shall be held.’ “That was a strong appeal In those days, but John raised the general at his own game. ‘My fellow citizens,' he said, 'what General Tucker says to you about bivouacking under yonder clump of trees Is true. It'Is also ¿ate. my fellow citizens, that I was a vedette picket and stood guard over him while he slept. Now. then, fellow citizens, all you who were generals and had privates to stand over you while you slept vote for General Tucker, and all of you who were privates and stood guard over the generals while they slept vote for Private John Allen.' The people caught on, took John at his word and sent him to congress, where be stayed until the world was filled with his renown."
