Saint-Saens is an admirable artist, and you feel that it ts ur absolute duty to like him; that better people than you are have liked him; that learned musicians— those who make of a semi-sensual gratifica- tion such as music undoubtedly is a sort of study like trigonometry or conic rections-have wept with joy over his efforts, and you determine to do your best. You know how Impossible it Is to be eternaliy dutiful, and petulantly you admit that “Samson and Dalila,” because It doesn't cause you to throb, 1s not worth making very much of a fuss about Mme.

He deserved it, He was old enough to know better, Mme Mantelli's Dalila would not en- snare a college boy.

Many housekeepers use the tea leaves which are left after making tea to scat. ter over carpets when they are swept, but the leaves will stain very delicate carpets. Wet newspapers wrung nearly dry and torn in pieces collect the dust and lint and do not soll the carpets. A dark floor covering often looks dusty and dim aftar an ordinary sweeping. Put a few drops of ammonia in the water which you use to wet your newspapers and it will brighten and freshen the cole ors wonderfully.

M. GILLMORE, 41 Canton atreet, Brooklya, The Liquefaction of Hydrogen. To the Editor: By whom was hydrogen first liquefied and a@ at temperature? Olzewaki (Comptes Rendus—@e, 99, 188) liquefied hydrogen by surrounding the £18 with nitrogen Doiling Im vacuuo the temperae ture of (he nitrogen was —218 degrees C. The tiquee fied hydrogen appeared as colorless drops on the des of the tube Wroblewski (Monat. fur chem, 8, 1,067) gives the critical temperature of hydre ken —240 degrees tical peemure 13.3 atmem pherea; critical volume .00335. If these resuite are confirmed they show that Picket's statement, that hydrogen is liquefied at —149 degrees 1s erroneous, Prot, Dewar, of the Royal Society, London, Enge lund, denies that hydrogen has yet been liquefied, for in order to liquety any gas it In necessary te below the temperature known as the critical point, Now, hydrogen, as stated by Wroblewak and confirmed by others, ban a critical point of minus 240 degrees C, (—249 degrees C.), and the lowest temperature which we have been abie to obtain {9 about —200 degrees C. to —213, Hence, with the experimental evidence at hand at the present time it is not likely that hydrogen Ma fet, at least not pure hydrogen, AUSOLUTE ZERO, Why Shouldn't Men Wear Em?
