He was visiting a friend, after ward consul to Samoa, in northern Vermont. This gentleman had a lit tle daughter about 11 years old, who very speedily became a devoted friend of the novelist.

The -poet sympathized not only in comforting words, but also in action.

As chemists studied the actions of va rious kinds of atoms iu regard to their unionsjyitli one another to form mole cules it gradually dawned upon them that not all elements are satisfied with the same number of companions. Sonio elements nsk only one and refuse to take more, whilo others link themselves when occasion offers with two, three, four or more. Thus wo saw that oxy gen forsook a single atom of its own kind and linked itself with two atoms of hydrogen. Clearly, then, the oxygen atom, like a creature with two hands, is able to clutch two other atoms, but we have no proof that under any cir cumstances it could hold luoro than two.
