This paper Was thoroughly discussed by the President, Mr. Tilley, Mr. Baird and others. Isfr. Tilley then proceeded to discuss Teaching Reading. A class of small boys and girls was sent up from the Exeter Public School, which lent much additional interest to the occasion.` This proved a very interesting and instructive part of the program, Mr. Tilley conducting the class in his us- ual able manner, and gave a splendid practical lesson in reading and emp- hasis.

Guaranteed or price L Newark Inventor D'isct,}rerx g T;'t;oc- ess to Transform the Liquid.. An inventor in Newark has succeeded finding n n a compound which will hold alcohol in Suspension in a solid form, and he deelaree that his discovery ie both new and useful. Whether itbe true that no one else has ever before succeeded in getting alcohol intoa solid feral, it is certain that no one bas put it into the market in that shape, There is no doubt as to the usefulness and advantage of such a compound The inventor contemplates its use sole- ly as a fuel. Whether it could be used for other purposesdoes not AFpeaT, but there seem to be other possibilities for t, After the inventor bad exhibited a sample of the solidified alcohol to a Sun reporter and explained i.#s asses, he Of- fered to prove the character of the cotxl- pound in a practical way by xnaaking some of it for the reporter. if the re- porter would go to his workshop in Newark and take with him his own supply of alcohol. The only stipulation made was that the aleahol should be at least 9,5 per cent in. strength,ti, as the presence of water would prevent the success of the process, The reporter ac- cepted the proposition and went to Newark, taking with hint a half pint whisky tins]( .filled. with 95 per cent wood alcohol. The inventor measured out the alto- hol and then for every two ounces of it added to it a alio of a waxy coin - pound shaped like a piece of pie, and cut from a bore the size and shape of as stove blacking box. Each slice of this compound was about an inch wide at the circumference of the box, half aur inch thick and 13i inches long. What this was composed of is the izw ntor's secret 1 bit way. and was bright and Bar - cansand from its smell had evidently been prepared with wood alcolrol. The alcohol and this compound were heated together in a water bath until the alcohol boiled. and at that tempera- tore the compound in it melted and mixed with it, forming a clear liquid except for a pink coloring which was an arbitrary addition to the waxy com- pound. The mixture was now set to cool, and in a short time it became a stiff paste. lt is in dais form that the inventor purposes to put it on the market. Al- thuugh it snelisstrongly of the alcohol, the mixture seems to be stable, and samples which were put ala in two ounce tin boxes three months ago have lost little by evaporation. If a lighted match is touched to the alcohol paste it melts on the surface and takes fire, burning freely with the characteristic blue alco- bol flame, only with a tinge of yellow added at the outer part. Burning freely in the box and giving a flange big enough to heat a chafing dish, a two ounce box of paste kept lighted for about two hours, where the sanie alco- hol in a liquid form would have burned out in ten minutes. Many uses for the new paste will oc- cur to the reader. Alcohol is one of the most desirable of fuels for many pur- poses, and in a form where it can be transported without clanger of its leak- ing or spilling wound have an added value for hunting and canoeing trips and for exploring expeditions Instead of a can of the fluid, my lady can have boxes of the paste to light under her chafing dish or to heat a curling iron, and a man can use it to heat shaving water or to make a toddy. If the mix- ture ixtare be heated to a melting point and then kept in agitation while it cools, it does not harden, but the hardening compound separates and is held in sus- pension. In this state the liquid alcohol might be recovered, and this suggests other uses for the compound. -New York Sun. Planting; Mistletoe. The parasitic plant mistletoe is not a good thing to encourage on trees, for: like all parasites, it is very injuri- ous. but if it is wanted it is not difficult to grow By lifting the bark from the wood of an apple tree branch and in- serting the seed where the birds cannot get at it it may be induced to grow, only, as the inale and female blossoms are produced as separate plants, failure is very probable unless a good many are planted. Of course, care must be taken to get berries that have not been roasted by a fortnight's exposure to the heat of gas burners, It is a curious fact, by the way, that all old writers speak of the ash and the oak as the trees upon which mistletoe grows in this country. It is an exceed- ingly rare thing to find it in either of these trees now. The fact probably is that we have not soo many`' oaks and ashes as we had when the Druids went into the woods to cut it with their gold- en blades, and we have apple trees in numbers and of kinds that were un- known in, these islands in early times. -London News.
