MISLEADING NAMES
Terms In Science That Belie the Prod
ucts to Which They Apply
There are terms In certain depart
ments of science fhat positively mW
name the products to which they aw
applied
The wofl oil n its more 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 said a geographer of Chica
go never started on one of his explor
ing expeditions without receiving by
mail and express all sorts of packages
from cranks cowhide underwear tea

a few days before the start of one trip
wired him to expect an important pack
age by express
The package came It was labeled
To be opened at the farthest point
north
Peary opened it at once however
It was a small keg inscrihed
Axle greese for the pole
