Relation of Clothing to Bodily Heat.
From Clothing and the Atmosphere" by
NJ. R. Radaux, IN Popular Science Month
ly for October.
The thinnest veil is a vestment in the
sense that it moderates the loss of heat
which radiation causes the naked body
to experience. In the same way a cloudy
sky protects the earth against too great
cooling in Spring nights. In covering
ourselves with multiple envelopes of
which we augment the protecting thick
ness according to the rigor of the sea-
sons, We retard the radiation from the
body by causing it to pass through a So
RES Of stages, OF by providing relays.
The linen, the ordinary dress and the
cloak constitute for US so many artificial
epidermises. The heat that leaves the
skin goes to warm these superpimosed
envelopes; it passes through them the
more slowly in proportion az they are
poorer conductors; reaching the surface
it escapes, but without making US feel
the chill which direct contact with
the atmosphere occasions, for our
clothes catch the cold for us.
The hair and the feathers of animals
PSiloiih lhC SAINT luuCliOu aS tONuTQ
their skin, serving to remove the seat
Of caloritic exchange away from the
body, The protection we owe to our
clothes is made more effectual by their
always being wadded with a stratum of
warm air. Each one of us thus has his
own atmosphere, which goes with him
everywhere, and is renewed without
being cooled. The animal also finds
under its fur an ADDITIONAL protection in
the bed of air that fills the spaces be-
tween the hairs; and it is on account Of
the air they inclose that porous substan-
ces, furs and feathers keep warm.
Experiments to determine the degree
of facility with which different sub
stances used for clothing allow heat to
escape were made by Count Rumfc I'd,
Seneiber, Boeckman, Jamer Stark and
M. Coulter. The results were not in all
cases consistent with each other, but
they indicate that the property is de-
pendent on the texture of the substance
rather than the kind of material, or
as concerns non-luminous hGat-its
color.

Why Money is Like Powder.

Henry Ward Beecher,
The worst use men can make of wealth
is to hoard it.. Riches that are simply
laid up, and that are never used, are
squandered. Money is like powder-no
good till it goes of. A man who has a
large amount of property and does not
spend it, does not enjoy it. He is
nothing but a watcbman of his own
property. Now, L hold that man does
not spend his money selfshly who
makes himself an object of admiration
and affection in the community. l hold
that a man has q right to spend his
money on his house. But where q man
has acquired a house he ought
to make his house beautiful
with books aud all the embellish-
msnts, Of art. Hs ought to make it the.
most beautiful place on earth to him and
ms wMe ana children. But has a man
who s a Christian, a right to- spend SO.
much money on himself and family
when there are so many noble uses to
which it could be put? l think it is q
grand thing for a man to spend money
IN a p~rofesscfship, build hospitals, erect
churches. But l declare that a man
Sho raises ave or six sons and daugh-
ters to noble and intelligent manhood
and womanhood. to a life OF integrity
and usefulness, has given to society the
itself!
Well, next to that, Of course, a man
u use his funds for the purpose of
lettering the community in which he
lives; Tor its Identification, publication
and intelligence. The man who has
nae the protection Of laws by which he
has gained his wealth and hoerds it all
up up, Is the most ~ungratefrl of beings.

RED-HOT STRETCHING.
The Artistic Work that Can be Done
With a Poker,

VAth u L ohtI.
"In 1916" said an art dealer to a New
York Tribune reporter" there lived in
the city of Boston a worthless vagabond
named Halden, a man who had seen
better days. He was an artist-had
wonderful talent. and during his period
ical sprees would devote himself assid-
iously to his peculiar work. though he
was never known to do anything while
sober. Haloen's portraits were the best
specimen of his art, and they were mar
wells of correctness. They were general
ly burned on a thin board of birds eye
mapel with a red hot poker of the ordi-
nary shape, after which they received
two coats of varnish, which was put on
to preseve them, and set in deep, heavy
frames. He called them poker
Sketches and on the back of each was
burned this inscription: This sketch
was burned with d poker-Halden, soul
pist.'
..SHis likenesses were striking, and the
three of them now in existence, al
though executed from memory, are
perfect in every respect. He had seen
portrait which he burned with his hot
poker has been pronounced one of the
truest likenesses ever seen OF the great
statesman. Webster's strong features
and dark complexion admirably suited
tie cllatacter OF the work, which has a
peculiar brown appearance when tin
ished. His picture of Clay is owned by
his banker friend, who also once owned
the other two, but presented them to
some southern friends. One of them,
Shakespeare, is in the possession of
Francis Fon.aine, commissioner of en-
igration of Georgia. Webster was pre-
scented to a humorous writer of the same
state, and now hangs in his parlor, an
object of admiration to visitors.
"Poker sketches are durable, and will
last for centuries. In doing them it is
literally a case of "burn while the iron
is hot" One mistouch of the poker
ruins the board; there is no erasure, no
wipiHg out. A board 30 spoiled, the on.
ly remedy is to begin on another and do
the whole thing over again.
SIT is wonderful to see the variety Of
shades and colors which may be pro-
auced by this burning process. After
The application Of the varnish it more
resembles oil work than anything else,
and the deception is so complete that a
touch of the finger is required to remove
it. The %indentures may be plainly felt
with the hand. 1t may seem strange
that this art has never developed, but
probably there are few people who
would care to sit over a ire-pot all day
and continually suffer frona burned
fingers for the sake of art Alone"

MY SUMMER.

1t was my Summer that has fed;
Mine, though with lavish hand,
She 3cattsred blessings without stint
Over sea and land.
For me the mating robin sang;
Mine was the seasons bloom;
The broad, bright sunshine was the
guest
That graced my humble room.

Once I had dropped . tear;
Can such soft rain revive again,
The flowers. though dead, 10 dear?
Regret ID useless for the past:
Better are smiles than tears:
Fresh blessings with the autumn

And hope for fu ure years.
And 20 I take with thankful heart
What all the seasons bring;
I climb the ladder of the days,
And while / mount l sing.

Poisoning,

All dread being poisoned; few know
what to do when poisoned. Even we'll
educated people are ignorant of the sim
plest antidotes for venomous bites or
poisonous draughts.
A writer in Halls Journal of Health
states two ideas which if remembered
would save many lives. He says
"If you have swallowed q poison,
whether laudanum, arsenic, or other
poisonous drug, put a tablespoonful OF
ground mustard in a glass Of water. cold
Or warm, stir and swallow quickly. In
s~tantsously the contents of the stomach
will be thrown up, not allowing the poi
sonous substance time to be absorbed
and taken into the blood.
"As soon as vomiting ceases, swallow
the white of one or two eggs, for the
purpose of antagonizing any small por-
ton of the poison which may have been
left behind. Let the reader remember
the principle which is, to get the poison
out OF you as o as possible.
There are other things which will
also serve as Il SPECIFY emetic, but the
advantage of mustard is, it is always at
hand, it acts simultaneously without
any after medicinal effects. The use of
the white of an egg is. that although it
does not nullify ali poisons, it antagoni-
zes q larger number than any other
agent 30 readily attain ble.
But having taken the mustard or egg,
send for q physician; these are ad-
vised in order to ave time; as the delay
OF twenty minutes often causes DEATH"
The same writer adds the following
useful information:
Cures of bites and stings:-Almostiall
these are destructive from their acid ma
ture; consequently the cure Is an alkali.
Spirits of hartshorn is one ofthe strong
ct, and is kept in almost every house,
hold, and you have only to pour some
out in q tea cup and dabble it on with a
rag. Relief is immediate.
IF You have not hartshorn, then sal
eratus is a suitable alkali. Every cook in
the land has saleratus, and We are daily
eating ourselves into the grave by its
e~xtravagant use-the use of half a thin
berIula week is extravagant.
'Moisten it with water and use as in
the case Of hartshorn. Or, pour a tea.

will answer a good purpose while the
physician is coming.
Remember the principle, bite is an
acid, the cure is an alkali.
"Have we not before now looked with
wonder onlhe old negro who ran out
when the wasp's sting made us 'holler,'
caught up three kinds of weeds, rubbed
the part well, and in five minutes we
were happy?
"But why three kinds of weeds? The
old man would tell you that three and
all its multiples were maggie numbers.
The iact is, you can scarcely gather up
three kinds of plants anywhere, one OF
which will not have more or less ofalka-
Ii in it."-Youth's Companion.
