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.

How “Private” John Allen Got Himeelf

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,
