WHERE DOES THE Dew CONE FROM

WHERE DOES THE Dew CONE FROM
The general belief is that the soil obtains
water from the air at night by absorption
and condensation to such an extent as to
be of the utmost agricultural value"
and that in times of drought this moisture
of the air invigorates and sustains plants
which otherwise would perish. The OBJ
servations OF Professor Stockbridge show
the soil, from May TO November, both at
the surface and five inches deep, to be
warmer than the air !; it is hardly possible
that the moisture on the surface in the
morning was deposited from the air. A
more reasonable conclusion is that the
vapor which arises from the surface is con-
densed a. it comes in contact with the
colder air. The phenomenon Of so-called
"dew fall" is usually attributed to the
supposed fact that soil and plants are
colder than the DIR at night. and 80 con-
dense it's moisture in the form Of dew"
The "dew" on the lie pitcher il the COM
mon illustration to prove the theory but,
as we have seen, the conditions in this case
are the reverse of those with soil and plant,
which are both warmer than the air az
night, while the ice.pitcher is colder. Fur
ther investigations were made in the study
Of this question. A tin box, without top
or bottom, was filed with soil and placed
in growing grass; the next morning the
grass was loaded with dew, but not a trace
appeared on the box, and the temperature
OF the soil was 66', and of the air CO..
This experiment was repeated many times
with the same results. Then loose tin
cover was placed upon the box; in the
morning the top of the cover was dry, but
the under side was "thickly studded with
drops of water"-dew.

WIT LAMPS ExpLoDE.-All exr

WHY LAMPS ExPLoDE.-All explosions
of petroleum lamps are caused by the vapor
or gas that collects in the space above the
oil. Of course, a lamp contains no gas, but
Immediately on lighting the lamp consump-
ton of oil begins, soon leaving space for
gas, which commences to form as the lamp
warns up, and after burning short time
sufficient gas will accumulate to cause an ex-
plosion. The gas in a lamp explode
only when ignited. In this respect 1t is ike
gunpowder. Cheap or inferior oil is always
the most dangerous. The flame Is Conf
Inunicated to the gas in the following
manner The wick tube IN the lamp bur
ners is made larger than the wick which is
TO pass through it. It would not do to
have the wick work tightly in the burner
On the contrary, it is essential that 1t move
up and down with perfect ease. In this
way it is unavoidable that space in the tube
is left along the sides of the wick sufficient
for the fame from the burner to pass down
into the lamp and explode the gas. Many
things occur to cause the fame to pass down
the wick and explode the lamp 1. A lamp
may be standing on the table or mantel and
a slight puff of air from the open window OF
door may cause an explosion. g 4 lamp
may be taken up quickly from table OF
mantel and Instantly explode. g. A lamp
is taken into an entry where there is a
draught, or out of doors, and an explosion
ensues. 4. A lighted lamp is taken up
fight of stairs or is raised quickly to place
it on mantel, resulting in an explosion. In
these instances the mischief is done by the
air movement, either by suddenly checking
the draught or forcing air down the chimney
against the flame. 5. Blowing down the
chimney to e1tinguish the light is frequent
cause Of explosion. 6. Lamp explosions
have been caused by using chimney brok-
en- off at the top or one that has piece
broken out, whereby the draught is variable
and the flame unsteady, z. Sometimes a
thoughtless person puts small sized wick
in large burner, thus leaving considerable
space along the edges of the wick. 8. An
old burner, with its air draughta closed mp,
which rightfully should be thrown away, ia
sometime continued in use, and the final
result ia an explosion.

The Open Winter Of 1916.
Democrat.

1.-THE open winter" Of 1SS8-S9
will have a companion when the
history Of the century is written.
The year 1850 njoyed an ''open
winter" during the entire twelve
months, being frequently referred
to by contemporaneous writer's as
''the year without a summer" All
through the settled portions of the
United States and in England there
was a frost in every month, crops
were ruined, and farmers called it
the year of Eighteen hundred and
starve to DEATH Snow fell in
November Of 1915, but there was
none in December or January to
speak Of. Christmas and New
Years were "warm, openand green,
and faithful to the old saw that "a
green Christmas makes fat church
yard" The old people predicted all
sorts of dire calamities, and the re-
suits would seem to justify it. Jan
uary was a very very mild month,
the sun shone every day, and little
snow that fell hardly covered the
earth, and soon melted.
People prepared for great storms
and extreme cold weather in Febru-
airy, but were disappointed, as it was
even milder than January. Toward
the end of the month, and during
the first days Of March, terrible
storm ragged and gave place to cold
and boisterous winds. The weather
of January was repeated in April,
but grew colder as the days passed,
ending with snow and ice and very
low temperature. In May ice formed
an inch thick on the rivers and
streams, buds and flowers were
frozen and the entire corn crop killed.
Frost, ice and snow were common
i'll June, and all attempts to rais-
vegetable products failed. The con-
dition Of the farmers is described as
being desperate, and they were COM
PEELED to hoard their crops of the
preceding year, and necessitated a
big increase in prices. Almost
every green thing was killed, and
the fruit nearly all destroyed.
July was accompanied with frost
and ice. The 18th was cold. and a
clustering wind, raw and uncom-
Portable, swept the entire Atlantic
coast. On the day following Ice
was formed Of the thickness OF win
dow glass in New York City, all
through New England and in Penn
sylvania. In August ice half an
inch thick was frequently seen.
September and October presented
the nearest approach to summer
weather. of any months in the
year, but in November extreme cold
weather began, and severe winter
continued up to April, when sum-
mer began, and the elements per-
mitted the farmers to raise bounte-
Gus crops.
The same condition Of affairs ex-
listed in England as in this country,
only it was not as severe. In cen
trail New York, it is stated, corn
was so badly frozen in the summer
that it was cut down and dried for
fodder. The warm weather of Jan
uary SO encouraged a Vermont
farmer that he planted corn, and, in
fact, some Of it was in good con-
dition during March. Farmers
were compelled to pay 81 or SIS
bushel for the corn of 1916 for
seeding purposes the following
spring.
