CIRCUMSTANCES INFLUENCING THE Boil
ING PoINr-We are in receipt of letter il
the nature OF both a criticism aud n request
1t has reference to our remarks concerning
the thermometer and if We understand oul
correspondent Alright, his claim is that water
when it boils Is Just rs hot a, Sabillasville as
it is at Mcnhanicst.wn and his reason for
thinking so, a; least the only one offered is
that one would he unable to boil anything
in the former p ace, because nothing short
of boiling water will thoroughly cook for in.
sian L, q ca bbage head.
Now, while we shall not discuss the mat
ter from just this standpoint farther than to
say that neither of the above assumptions
are true, VIC will state some of the circum-
stances which influence the boiling point
In the first place, as ebullition or boiling
consists in the rapid formation Of vapor OF
the same elasticity as the atmosphere, it is
evident that if the pressure is diminished, the
boiling point will be lowered and if in
creased, the boiling point will be raised. BY
placing water under the receiver of an ali
pump and exhausting the air, 1t will boil at
a temperature as low as 1875 degrees. Height
above the sea.ievel means that much less
pressure of atmosphere, the equivalent of an
approach to the condition Of n vessel of Wa
ter under the receiver of an ar-pump as
above noted.
Now az to results that have been confirm
ed by direct observation, We give below the
actual boiling point of water at different
places and their elevation above the sea
given in table containing also the mean
height of the barometer.
Place Altitude Boiling Point
Madrid 1895 feet 2OS deg.
Moscow 934 2lU4"
Quito 9,541 1911"
Dead Sea 1915 2l4l"
Here we find difference OF 2ol degrees in
the heat Of boiling water, rs it may be 1916
below or 9,541 above tidc-l vel; so that a
rule may be stated Us follows A difference
of about 543 feet in elevation produces va
ration of d,grec Fahrenheit, in the boil
ing point Of water
The boiling point of water rises as the
pressure rises, not only as understood by
pressure in the open atmosphere, but the
same fact is noted when water is confined
and heated.
An accurate thermometer placed in boiling
water in an enclosed vessel, the pressure
gage Of which shows 30ibs pressure, the
mercury would rise to- 240i degrees the de-
gree OF heat of boiling water under 105 lbs
pressure is 1901 degrees or 10 degrees above
the melting point of sulphur and within 115
degrees OF the melting point of tin.
Thus it will be seen that the boiling point
of water differs under different conditions
in the matter Of open air tests, there would
be noted difference Of about 81 degrees be-
tween Baltimore and Blue Ridge Summit
and about degrees between Mechauicstown
and the latter place.

IKE ToOTs ON GUNS.

Now don't think told you big one
when told you that l did not know any

thing about guns and about how hard they

Creek gun is a ,olerably fair gun; it cracks
very loud bu, docs not do much execution.
The American" gun is an old fashioned
field piece and does good execution; counts
her game every time she goes Oft, but ''Sal
Billiards" beats them all for wing shooting
She went OF in So 'ankun and the wounded
laid all over Foxviic and even spread out
to and beyond Ga. field, There is another
very good gun goes of occasionally c"led
40 Blank" it shoots all blank cartridges, but
my goodness he makes the feathers fly.
Then there is another gun from Stbillasvile
called the Times gun-wcll to tell the
truth about it, 1t reminds me of pop gun,
don't crack bit louder, and the load falls
out at the muzzle instead Of flying any dis
lance. Your curiosity may now excite you
to know what kind Of II gun Ike is, we'll l

where you will bc ut rest forever
| saw NY family gather about my
old frame as it leaned back, dead,
in the chair, and it gave me pam
to See thsm weep. Thcu l would |
feel something pulling ME toward !
my body again; could not resist !
It, | was powerlcss, and in a mo-
nent had taken nossession of it.
Then shere vas an instant of pain,
md l opened my eyes and breath
I'd. Each time this was repeated
WAS more reluctant to return to
ny body."-New York Tribune.
