Tllll OLD MAN.
Its Significance as Attlied to the Head of
the Business House.
Were I tho head of a largo corncetn
or the responsible executive officer of a
great corporation, whether my ago were
27 or 72, I should want all of my em
ployees or subordinates to call 1110 "The
Old Man." Not, of course, to my face
or when they were addressing mo, but
among themselves or when they spoke of
mo to their friends.
"His Majesty,""IIis Hoyal Highness,"
"His Eicellency" and the like all indi
cate that the persons to whom they are
applied possess power, but in this com
mercially democratic ago and country
the one appellation of undisputed autoc
racy is "Tho Old Man."
Applied to the bead of a coucorn it
frequently indicates love, gonerally respect
and always complete submission to au
thority. It is as free from any sugges
tion of ago as is "reverend " It is never
given when there is a question of au
thority or a smoldering rebellion against
it.

state. The friction caused by rubbing it
against a hard surface will nut

can tie niailn into halls and thrown any
where and it will burn with a slow but
fierce combustion, which makes it unlike

Dyuamile and gunpowder require a
park to ignite llieiu, and powder pro
duces an explosion, not a regular fire.
o ignite this compound there is just
tho slight 1 net mil ot rubbing it against
some ordiuary subslance. There is no
explosion or rapid spreading of flames
but a strange pasty substance composed
of living fire, which cannot be stumped
out or killed in any known way.
John Floyd, the discoverer, has been
fur several years delving in all surts of
chemicals, as his numerous inventions re
quire constant study. One day he wished
to make a certain substance with which
to experiment, and tor that purpose
placed in a liquid some waste substances
which he thought would, when dissolved
produce the wished for compound. Hut
he found the material he wanted before
the liquid was dissolved, so let the jar
containing tho solution on tho shelf for
several weeks, thinking no rnoro about
it.
rinully ho thought ut using tho jar
and when lifting it down from the shelf
some of the liquid spilt on the floor. Mr.
Floyd thought nothing about the matter,
till he noticed a sensation of heat about
his f oot, aud uu looking dowu found that
the soft paste which hud fallen out uf the
bottle had become a mass of soft, flicker
ing flames, emitting an intense heat. Hi
pnt his foot on the spot, stumping it out,
us he thought, and turned to his work.
hen he turned around again he saw
that instead of goiug out the fire paste
was steadily bur.iiog; that his rubbin;
it had only smeared it over the floor and
it was eating into the wood every moment
lie then threw seve ml buckets ol water
on the stuff, but tho water had uo effect
oilier than to lie converted into puffs of
steam, and the lire burut steadily on, cut
ting its way through the soft pine flooring,
As the experiments were being conducted
in tho back of a drug store, which was
filled with dangerous chemicals, he knew
that something must bo done to put a stop
to its ravages, or tho whole place wo uld
bo blown into atoms.
After many fruitless attempts to put it
out he procured a hatchet, and it was
only by cutting out the entiro squ aro of
wood on which tho paste rested that he
succeeded in stopping tho fire, which
burned for at least an hour.
Afraid of the uses to which this dis
covery might be put, Mr. Floyd has never
made the secret of the ingredients public
but ho says that it cm bj mido for a!
