HUMAN
HEARTS
So strong an impression did Hu
man Hearts" make upon a prominent
clergyman in Now York, that he
wrote to the gentleman impersonat
ing "Tom Logan," vigorously endors
ing the play, and informing him of
his intention of trotting all the or
phans of a local asylum out to seo It
at his own expense. And he did it.
"You cannot conceive," said Man
ager iNankeville, "of the apprecia
tion of those youngsters at the
change of sermon thus afforded them
unless you had listened to that gal
lery the day they attended. With
the 'gods' present," he continued, "as
often as I have myself enjoyed sit
ting through it, it was as enjoyable
as a box of monkeys sprinkled with
tears. Quite ofUm since, have city
schools, whose principals were aware
of the great merit in the play, given
half a holiday, that the youngsters
might enjoy a matinee. And what
out-spoken critics the tots have been.
You can't get a favorable criticism
or a padded eulogy for love or mon
ey from a juvenile. You must give
him the goods or he denounces you
broadcast, and I am really grateful
to the tots of America for their ap
preciation of what all now agree tu
be one of tne best American plays."

USES OF CHEMISTRY.
An article in La Nature, Paris,
quoted in the Literary Digest, re
minds us that It is scarcely- a century
since chemistry with its useful and
orderly investigation and results suc
ceeded the older alchemy, "hardly a
fertile art." Some of the latest meth
ods of observation are discussed as
follows:
"When the chemist has substances
as pure as possible; when the man
ufacturer has succeeded in preparing
to good advantage the product that
he wishes to sell, they must Possess
methods enabling the former to study
the properties and reactions of bodies
and the latter to control their fabri
cation and to perfect it.
"Tho first and most essentia, in an
alysis in tho most general sense of the
word. Chemical analysis enables us
to affirm the presence or absence of
certain elements and to measure their
amount. Laboratory technic In this
regard is the same as in Lavoisier's
time, but with Improvements.
"In the industries, -where precision
is of secondary importance and rap
idity is most desirable, methods of
analysis, by- oplor and volume have
almost displayed those by weight.
But chemical analysis can give
information about the composition of
bodies, and in rtiany cases their oth
er properties are much more Interest
ing. This is way, before putting
their products on the market, manu
facturers subject them to tests sim
ilar to those that they are compelled
to undergo in practice. Among
these, for Instance, are breaking tests
by shock, compression and traction,
and tests for hardness.
"As physics has developed, and hns
placed other tools than the balance
at the disposal of the Investigator,
methods enabling us to examine Mio
nature of phenomena moro minutely
have made great strides. Among all
these, the one most frequently used
nowadays is perhaps tho microscope.
Applied to transparent bodies cut into
thin sMces, it gives us exact informa
tion of the constitution of the most
complex rocks aud gives very minute
information where chemical analysis
would give only approximate compo
sitions. If the subject to bo exam
ined is opaque, It may ho polished
sufficiently to reveal Its structure.
This branch of chemistry Is metallog
raphy, which In these later years has i
been greatly extended and has not
only advanced .the study of the con
stitution of alloys, but has rendered
still greater service to the metallur-;
gleal industries; it enables us to de-.
termlne, by simple examination, the
condition and previous thermic treat
ment of the iron products."
