compre hensive and indiscriminate uses t made to Include hydrocarbons like pe troleum and also many other sub Btanccs that have an oily appearance like oil of vitriol which is not oil ui nil hut sulphuric acid Strictly speaking the mineral oils Including all petroleum products are not oil although we speak of coai oil and kerosene oil The best classifications of oils do not Include mineral hydrocarbons like naphtha pnrallln and petroleum but treat only the two well defined groups fixed oils ami 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 blnoxalato or potash treated with oxalic acid Carbolic acid is not an acid but a phenol In structure it is allied to the nlcolmls 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 terras a e yielding to the more scientific nomen clature JOKED HIMSELF IN How Private John Allen Got Himself Elected to Congress Here is Champ Clarks defeuse cf humor if it needs one The dry-as-dusts solemnly assev erate that humor never did any good Now lets see How did Trivate John Allen of Mississippi get to congress Joked himself in One bit of humor sent him to Washington a national lawmaker Opposing him for the con gressional nomination was the Confed erate General Tucker They met on the stump General Tucker closed one of his speeches as follows Seventeen years ago tonight my fellowr citizens after a hard fought battle on yonder hill I bivouacked un der yonder clump of trees Those of you who remember as I do the times that tried mens 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 true 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 prirates 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 where he stayed until the world was filled with his renown Aid For the Explorer Peary
