QO ORE *i RLUNAENNESS. eh Selentist Cinims te Be Able » fe Render Alcoholic Drinks Harmiexs. French scientist, Dr. Pitoy, in just published, holds ou: hopes that the difficulty of providing @ satisfactory temperance drink has at last been solved, and this not by a "pew beverage, but by a series of new every wine, beer and spirit wow used being provided with a non- alcoholic understudy. It has hitherto been accepted as 4 commonplace that there is no fer- mentation without alcohol. From immemorial beers, wines, etc.. have undergone this process through the action of some sort of yeast, the effect of which has been to decom- pose sugar or glucose into carbonic add and alcohol. Dr. Pity set himself about to de- stroy this theory, and he now claims that he has discovered that the mys- terious fermentations are the work of certain micro-organisms which he has succeeded in isolating and pro- with a separate existence. new birth, on being introduced ¢ liquid to be fermented, fatters swells to the bursting point result is a sort of fireworks dis- induced by the absorption of mic acid, each point of which, '@s it is thrown off, becomes in its tura an active cell. By this means the balls are kept rolling, so to speak, till the process of exhaustion supervenes and fer- mentation is complete. It is claimed this method, instead of decomposing glucose in the proportions of one part of carbonic acid to two of alco- hol, as by the old proceeding, causes the latter two parts to assume the form of a nonalevholic substance. Jt is therefore inferred that beers, wines, etc., submitted to the new fer- mentation will emerge as temperance beverages, NO FLASH, SOUND OR SMOKE. French Officer Invents a Novel At- tachment for Big Guns and Prom- ises Remarkable Work. A French officer, Col, Humbort, re ently brought out ingenious in- ntion, which, it is ned, will en- ly abolish sound, flash and smoke n a gun is fired, but in its pres- ent stage the invention apparently would make a field gun a rather un- wieldy machine, The invention consists of a long tube screwed to the muzzle of a gun. The inside of the tube is fitted with a series of short steel cylinders One end of these cylinders is quite open and the other close, but with a hole in the center slightly larger than the bore of the gun. The cylin- ders are placed in the tube till it is quite full, Then a screw plug is in- serted and the whole is pressed into close contact. The tube is thus divided into a se- ries of small compartments in com- muniedtion with the bore of the gua and each other by small holes at their base. The result is thai the volume of sound and the flash of the discharge is broken up as seen the shot clears the muzzle. The $§ first rushes to the first com- artment where it is retained until \ he base of the projectile is clear of the entrance to the s nd eylin- der.’ The process is repeated from one compartment after another with the result that the gas has gradu- ally more and more room for expan- ~sion-and-when-the- projectite finatty leaves the tube the greater portion has been collected in a reduced state 1 in the tube fre or sound.

Berlin, Dec. 16—The German gov- ernment has uot yet replied to Presi- dent Castro's offer of arbitration, being still in correspondence with the British government on the sub- ject. It is intimated that Germany's reply is not likely to be ready for some days. The opinion in the cabi- het appears to be that President Cas- tro's proposals are merely‘a move in a game designed to see what Ger- many and Great Britain are now will- ing to do, and as a test also of American public feeling.

BY PROF, L, B ALLISON.. Atthe annual meeting of the teach- | ers of Bates county, held in Butler, Friday and Saturday the 28th and 29th of November, the subject of Publie School Libraries was fully and interestingly discussed by the teach- ers present. The insufticiency of the present school law, relative to Libra- ries, was clearly set forth and a peti- tion to our Representative and the State Superintendent was drawn up, by a committee appointed for that purpose, and signed by every teacher present, said petition asking that the law pertaining to the procuring and maintaining of school libraries, be mandatory with penalty attached, in order that the provisions of the law may be duly complied with. The utility of a well selected library was fully recognized and held as impor- tant factor in school work. Lack of such aid in a majority of the schools in the county, is quite clearly shown in thefollowing report of the teachers of the county; represented at this In- stitute. A competent committee should be chosen for the county, whose duties should be to select the kind of books most suitable for a school library, 80 that the Directors of every district in the county may intormation, reepecting the selecting of books, best adapted to their needs, “Atew districts have been imposed up- on by peripatetic school book agents who care only to make a sale, re- gardless of the real wants of the boys and girls, who are to read the books provided for them.
