Address and presentation.-0n Tuesday h` evening the members and adherents of the Presbyterian congregation of this neighbor; hood assembled in the Town Hall to say . farewell to their honored pastor, the Rev. Mr. Geddes. The reverend gentleman ` is about to go to the far of!` regions of Nebraska where the laborers are few and the vineyard large- But his many friends at Midhurst could not allow him to depart without ex- pressing in a body their hearty appreciation of his earnest and devoted labors among them and their sincere wishes for his success in his new eld of labor. After many speech- es from gentlemen present, all ex ressing deep esteem and respect and heartfe t regret at being called upon to say farewell. the most interesting feature of the evening took place, the reading of an address and the presentation of a` well lled -purse. Mr. Geddesreplied. in a very suitable and eloquent manner indeed. He expressed the pain he felt at partingwith so many kind friends, but he added that amid the pain there was still a measure of joy caused by his being the recepient of so much a'ectionate_regard, that he would long and gratefully remember not only their-kindness in the present but their kindness in the past, He referred at length to his labors among them and to the desire nearest to his heart, ,viz., that the words he had spoken from time to time for the Master may have taken deep root in the hearts of his people. Nothing could make him so ha py as to be certain of that. He believed t at God had blessed his labors and would do so in far of!` Nebraska where he trusted he would be enabled to" devote his life more and more earnestly to his life's a work During the evening several appropri- I ate hvmns were sung with good effect by i the choir, and before the close of the meet- ~ ing the ladies iurnished. a A choice! repast ` which was done ample justiceto.

In view therefore of the doubts that have been thrown around this ozone theory, as` an enquirer I should like to have a positive demonstration that ozone is simplypeondensed oxygen before accepting it as true.

Ozone is readily formed by phosphorus in the presence of oxygen and water, but dry phosphorus in dry oxygen does not produce ozone. ' It does not even become phosphores- ent.

Why is this so? If ozone is only oxygen, why is the presence of hydrogen so helpful, if not so indispensable to its formation? nrlnnn :3 nnn;-131.. ,......-J L-- --' lVllI' T Ulll IJIGUL I-IIBI R v This was the most important experiment that had been made to prove the possibility of converting puredry oxygen entirely into ozone ; it was repeated three times, but it is rash to come to the conclusion that this ob- ject has `been achieved, from three experi- ments, of which two failed, and the best of which presents numerous reasons for doubt.

The tubes were then opened in a- solution of iodide of potassium, and the absorption of the ozone was noticed. In one experiment the solution lled the tube; in the two others it lled only one third part of the tube.
