Miss Jollymour ran to him, putting her hands upon his shoulders. Foster told the girl to e down In order that he and others who came to his assistance might have a better chance to stamp out the fire. She refused to obey and was finally thrown to the ground. The flames were not easily subdued, but finally Foster procured a bucket, filled it with water from a barrel used by plasterers, and threw it upon the suffering girl. Miss M. M. Smith, whose father is engaged In the tea business next to the Wobber store, saw Miss Jolly- mour run into the street and held her in her arms while the flames were being quenched. Her own clothing was slightly scorched. Miss Jollymour was removed to the home of her mother, 1130 Park avenue, where all that could be done was performed by kind hands. The physicians in attendance think there is small hope for her recovery. Over one-half of her body is horribly burned, particularly about the abdo- men. In her efforts to beat the flames away her hands were also burned. “When Miss Jollymour came run- ning out of the store,” sald Miss Smith,” she was a mass of fire from the ground to her chest. I ran to her assistance and after she had been forced to the walk, held her in my arms. I screamed to the men not to use any water, but they found they could not get the flames out with their hands and so dashed it upon her.” “There was nothing else to do but use the water,” sald George Foster. “We tried to stamp the fire out, but it seemed to be getting worse. I know that water is not considered a good thing to use, but I had rather use some of it than see the whole body scorched with burns.” s Once before in her life Miss Jolly- mour had been a victim of fire. When she was 10 years old her clothing caught fire from a grate and she came near being burned to death. e O e e e e o e S e e s R e ] LAMEDA, Feb. 26.—Wrapped in flames from head to foot Miss Agnes Joliymour dashed out of the store of P. W. Wobber, Park street, this afternoon, excitement on Ala- thoroughfare. The flames were quickly extinguished, but the young lady was so badly burned that she cannot recover. The fire was caused by the explo- slon of a can of gasoline and Miss Jollymour, who remained conscious throughout her suffering, was able to make a statement as to the manner of the accident to the physicians who attended her. She said she went Into the shed in the rear of the Wobber store, where the illuminating ofls are kept, for the purpose of filling a can with gasoline. The shed was dimly lightéd by a small coal ofl lamp, but Miss Joliymour did not mnotice its proximity to the gasoline. She had just begun to pour the gasoline when it exploded. In an instant she was enveloped in flames and ran screaming into the street.

CISCO CALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1900 SOME ERRORS DISCOVERED IN SHEEHAN'S BOOKS Former Tax Collector Will Be Called Upon to Ex- " plain Them. Neglect to Mark Collections Paid for ‘Which Property Owners Hold Re- ceipts May Cause Serious Complications. PSR Grave errors were discovered:yesterday in the records left by ex-Tax Collector Sheehan which will certainly require an explanation from that former public of- ficlal. While Tax Collector Scott is in- clined to the opinion that the errors were merely clerical it i{s quite likely that Sheehan will be called upon to deposit a sum equal to the amount Involved in the case. The errors consisted in the failure of Sheehan’s deputies to stamp as paid two amounts for which the owners of certain properties hold receipts, showing that the taxes had been collected during Sheehan’s | administration. While Willlam Rodgers, a clerk employed by Simpson & Millar, searchers of records, was making ab- stracts of property owned by Sigmund | Greenbaum he discovered that a plece of | land at the southeast corner of Van Ness | avenue and Chestnut street, assessed at $4500, had been marked delinquent on the first installment and a penalty of $ 51 added. Rodgers reported the matter to Mr. Greenbaum, who at on(‘e_lproduced a receipted bill signed by M. T. Sullivan, who was cashier in the office under Shee- han, showing that $3; 68 had been paid for the first installment on November 25, 1899. There was no entry of payment in the volume of the assessment roll against this piece of property, although a piece entered directly above had been marked paid on the same date as the taxes on the first plece had been collected. A peculiar circumstance in this con- nection is that the amount $36 68 was en- tered In the cash book on the date men- tioned. A lead pencil check mark, how- ever, had been erased, but not complete- ly, and this further complicates the situa- tion. No gooner had this error been discovered than another was found concerning apiece of property assessed to E. Heaton et al. for $400, being lot 5 In West End map No. 2. The first installment of $3 26 is not marked paid in_ the office records, but Heaton has In his possession a re- ceipted bill showing that he paid the tax on November 27, 18%9. In this case, how- ever, the peypent can not be located in the cash book in the tax office on that date. This makes it evident that the money never reached the city treasury unless the payment was credited on ai other date, which will be difficult to as- certain. ‘Whether any more such omigsions have occurred through careless or worse meth- ods will not be known until the tax-pay- ers present themselves to pay their second | | | Iistallments or have their receipted bills verified. The present Tax Collector de- clines to mark the two payments referred to in his books as paid merely on the pro- duction of the signed bills. It may neces. sitate that the payment be made a sec- ond time and the tax-payer must then look to the Board of Supervisors for the return of the duplicate payment. At any rate, serious complications are liable to ensue sh?uld the property be sold to the the taxes and the property owner, discovering it, should then pro- duce his, receipted bill for the taxes paid.

Benson, 80 years old, and an old veteran of the Civil War, who resides at the Yountville home, happened to be near Ensign at the time and Deeley grabbed hold of him and threw him down. The old man weakly protested and Deeley promptly placed him under_ar ce i Prison. Ensign gave cash bail, poor old man was unable to do so and was detained in prison. Smith, accompanied by Secretary Hol- brook of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal$, made a formal com- laint against Deeley to Chief of Police gulll\'an and Deeley was sent for. Smith had the names of several witnesses who would testify to hearing the abusive lan- guage and also that Deeley was under the influence of liquor. with the School Department. Several days ago defendants’ counsel moved for the dismissal of the defendants on the ground that there was a material variance between the wording of the in- dietment upon which they were bein, prosecuted and the contract upon which the indictment was framed. After lengthy argument Judge Cook took the matter under advisement and the trial was continued. Yesterday Judge Cook found that the point urged in favor of de- fendants was well taken and instructed the jury to acquit the defendants. The jury followed Instructions and the ac- cused went forth purged of the charge agalnst them. ————— Neglected Their Wives. | Esther Irwin has been granted a di- vorce from Washington Irwin on the ground of willful neglect.

They are intended primarily for Americans who propose attending t Words and phrases, DEUXIEME LECON.—LESSON 2. Hints on Fronunciation. 1. The student has seen in the preced- ing lesson that many letters of the French alphabet are like the English. The chief difficulty of the French pronunciation is conflned to the sounds u, eu and the nasals. It would therefore seem best to familiarize oneself with these vowels as soon as possible. To effect this success- fully they should be gone over and re- hearsed daily for some time, first singly— viz.,, u, eu, an, in, on, un, and then united ‘to the other letters, using for that pur- pose the words of the exercises and phrases that will appear in the lesson— viz.,, lundi, mercredi, printemps, jeudi, deux, premier, dernier, etc.; lung-dee, mair-cre-dee, prang-tong, juh-dee, duh, prem-ee-ay, dare-nee-ay. 2. Among the consonants are two requir- ing special attention, soft g and J, which ought both to be pronounced like z in azure; the soft g is always followed by i or e, otherwise it is hard. 3. The final s is generally mute in French; it is blene ded with the followin vowel, then it sounds like z. See lesson 4. There are three accents in French (1) Aigu, ay-gu ('), a mark from the right to the left over e, as été; (2) grave, grahv (), & mark from the left to the right over the letters a, e, u (&, & 0), as pére; ( circonflexe, ceer-kohn-flex (%), a double mark composed of the former two, over :;‘: letters a, ¢, 1, 0, u (4, 8, 1, 5, 0), as e. 5. Another fmportant mark is the so- called ‘“‘cédille,” say-dee-y (). which is placed under the c (¢) before the vowels a, o, u, thus making the sound of c like that of s—viz., recu, re-suh. No cédille is required before { or e. | 6.

(Continued.) | | Of the substances familiar to every- | body, some occur, under ordinary condi- | | tions, in the three states of gas, liquid | |and solld. Water, for example, under the | | usual pressure of the atmosphere, passes | |into steam at 100 degrees centigrade or | | 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and freezes at 0 | degrees centigrade or 32 degrees Fahren- | | heit. If the pressure s increased the | | boiling point rises, and if the pressure is | dowered the boiling point falls according- ly. The pressure and the temperature | must both be taken into account. If the | temperature is kept high, as In a steam | boiler, a greater pressure must be exerted | to maintain the water In the liquid state | and if the ordinary temperature were, on | | the average, 400 degrees centigrade higher | | than it is water would be known to us | | only as a gas. | | The researches of Andrews showed | clearly that a similar state of things ex- | 1sts for every substance. That fs, there is for every substance some point of tem- perature above which it cannot become liquid, and this temperature is called the “critical temperature.” His most In- structive experiments were made with “carbonic acid gas,” or carbon dioxide, wiuch nas a cntical temperature easily reached. The first step, then, in the liquefaction of any gas must evidently be to reduce its temperature below the crit- jcal point. Then, and not before then, will pressure eftective in reducing it to a liquid. Evidently, also, any gas will be easy or difficult to' liquety accord- ing as its critical temperature is high or low. Oxygen, whose critical temperature is 118 flefreu below zero, centi , Te- sisted all efforts at liquefaction for many years; nitrogen, with a eritical tempera- ture of —146 degrees centigrade, was still more refractory, and hydrogen, whose critical temperature has not been exactly determined, had to be cooled to about 235 degrees or more below the zero of the centigrade scale before it yleld The attainment of these extremely low temperatures was a matter of great diffi- culty and was accomplished only gradu- ally through gen! of experiment. The means upon which chief rellance has been placed until recently is the heat change oceurring when a substance which meits or boils at a low temperature is allowed to change from the solid to the liquid or from the liquid to the gaseous state. Heat Changes in Melting and Boiling ‘When a solid is meited heat must be continually supplied to it until the melt- ing is completed. This heat is used In doing the work of nx-ruun' the particles from the close bonds which make it a solid. It produces no change In tem ture, and therefore called heat. The use of ice in drinking water is a common illustration of this action, or the freezing of icecream by the melting ¢f a mixture of ice and salt In the lat- ter case part of the necessary heat is sup- plied to the melting mixtvre by the cream which is frozen, the freezing point of the Cream baing higher than the melting pos':“ I?'r"lhg mhxt‘“:' liquia milarly, when i ead; gly of an Is 1 ble to evaporate water so id] u. a reduced pressure that e itself is frozen. @ heat is used in worl at a rapid rate and is taken from of water which Is evaporating. portions of substances which are gaseous have been solidified in ma way.

If the air thus compressed is allowed to escape into the atmosphere, it has to push away the outside air, do- ing work upon it, and Is coiled in the rocess. Moreover, if the compressed air as been allowed to cool to the ordinary atmospheric temperature before it is re- leased, the issuing jet of expanding air iIl be felt to be lisunctly cold. This e ion upon which t = generative method” 1s hased, " oo TS b The Regenerative Method. his method is used on a censideral scale, chiefly by three expenmen!en—bl. Linde in Germany, Hampsin in England and Tripler in America. As Tripler's ope- rations seem to be the most extensive, as well as the most interesting to us for other reasoms, his method will be de- scribed so far as it is publicly known. It is almost absurdly simple. There is an air compressor operated by steam power, coils in which the compressed air is cooled to the temverature of the water run- ning over them, and a “liquefler,” as It called, from which liquid air is drawn by the gallon when the plant is In ope- ration. The air is compressed three times, with cooling bet : first, to about sixty bove the atmospheric pressure, then to about 40 pounds, and last to 2600 unds to the square inch. The dust is Itered from the air before it enters the compressor and there is another - tion at the highest pressure to take out the last tracés of foreign matter. The air Is at 2500 pounds pressure and at the temperature of the cooling tanks then passes to the liqueflers, of which there are two. Just what the construction of the liquefiers is is not publicly known. Their essential parts are a long cofl of copper tube surrounded by a cylinder which is thoroughly wrapped in insulat. ing material. e compressed air through the copper tube and is ur“und at the end by means of a needle valve, said to be of some P‘nlcuhrly advanta- geous design. At this point it expands to about the atmospheric Jressure, u%mb e process. This ents were them- very greatly cooled In t! expanded and cooled air then passes ward over the coils of pipe and cooling the compressed air within, w! in its turn, expands at the valv: still further cooled. The process there- fore, progressive and cumulative in its cooling effect, and the lowering of tem- perature at the release point soon be- comes so great that part of the air llque- fles and collects in the lower end of the liquefiers, from which it can be drawn off Itke so much water bxv ing a tap. Not the least wonderful thing about it is that this liquid alr, at tel rature far below any of which we can havé an adequate conception, is handled In a - ently the most careless fashion flmu't injury, ured about Itke water, d trmpor(pe‘:i bundreds of miles in ;n buckets. of “Liduid Atr” will be . h, Note_The study concluded next T uesda: e e B o R Posed as an Army Surgeon. rest of Joseph C.
