About Frost and Dew.

Frost is formed under the same con- aitions as dew, with the exception of lower temperature. When the tenn peratute of plants and other objects fall below B degrees, Fahrenheit, the moisture of the air is condensed upon them in the solid state, or semi-solid, like layers Of snow crystals or spongy ice. Hoarfrost, therefore, is not frozen dew, the moisture of the air having been deposited in the solid form, without passing through the liquid state. Hoarfrost, like dew, is chiefly deposited upon bodies which radiate heat, such as the leaves of vegetables, plants, boards, etc, the deposit being thickest upon those parts turned directly towards the sky. Plants by radiation frequently become 10 to 12 degrees cooler than the sur rounding atmosphere, therefore frost may occur although the thermometer may mark 40 degrees or above the freezing point Light frosts have been known to occur on low ground when the temperature was not lower than 47 degrees on the surrounding hill- tops St. Louis Republic

How to Select Reading Matter for the
 Young Folks.

Young Folks.
 A very grave matter indeed has become the quality of the reading furnished to our young people. In families where newspapers enter free ly, even the casual reader who takes them up and glances them over care- lessly can not fail to get a knowledge of the world that if it does no harm does no good either There are fam flies. indeed, where the children are allowed certain columns of single paper only, but such prohibition is often as dangerous as it's opposite A notion prevails in many minds that the young must have reading furnished to them where the subject has been written down to their comprehension, forgetting that all our growth comes from struggle upward and that it is really a great deal better after the taste for reading has been once formed to have the book or the subject just one degree advanced beyond the moments taste or fancy. Much of the formation of taste in this matter de- wolves upon the mother, the aunt, the elder sister; and if they see to it that models of purity and wholesomene5s are presented and observed, rather than those which are facilitating to the mental fiber, and thus noxious, a habit will be formed that in time will instinctively reject all that is not dis tinctively ennobling, and does not feed the better portion of the mind and nature. Puerilities arc much in vogue today; but their influence is vicious because it is weak ening, and in so much degrading. Children can be trained to care as much for one of Parkman's histories. with all its tale of daring and doing, as for any paper-covered story of a cowboys adventures; as much for the Midsummer Nights Dream, with it's wit and poetry aud pathos and music as for any tawdry story in which boy and girl love has part; as much for the sounding sen- tences of the Old Testament and of Osslan as for any senseless jingle; and while they will derive now as much pleasure from one as from tho other, and eventually more, the better kind will give pleasure on a loftier plane, and will cause the mind 10 reach up ins tead of down. It is high time that the heads of families looked into this subject in some measure, especially since the eager mind of childhood must be fed, and will de- your whatever comes in it's way if nothing is furnished it with design. Such oversight is not so easy q task that it can be despised as too trivial to be undertaken, for in the myriad of publications for children and those just escaping childhood it is a serious effort to keep dt c1zra21t; and so doubt- full is the character of many of them. if not as to intention, yet as injurious quality without intention, that in the supervision one has to become ae- quainted with a mass of rubbish in order to eliminate it, and finds it work of time and thought not always pleasurable, Harper Bazar.

SlMPLlFlED BURGLARY.
Tho New Departure Made by Ingen-
 ious Cincinnati Safe Breaker


 ious Cincinnati Safe-Breaker.
 Human ingenuity is more deyilish than angelic, and Is more alert to de- stroy than to create. It is a general proposition that what one man may do another can undo, it being easier some- what to mar than to make. For years lock-smiths and safe builders have racked their brains and employed their cunning to devise a safe that should be absolutely burglar as well as fre-proof. As the builders have improved their steel castings and com binations, time-locks. etc., the burglar has bettered his tools or extended his methods of operation, and it has been found that, given fair show, the burglar will get into any safe that can be set against him. In recent years high degree of perfection in the construction of safes has been ar rived at, and many good mon put their money confidently into the latest inn proved reeeptacles, convinced that no burglar has the art to penetrate tho chilled arcanum. But baflled in one way the expedient burglar goes ener- getically and intelligently to work in another.
 In Cincinnati the other night ho operated upon safe that was obdurate to the usual methods of persuasion. The safe was not to be opened with tools. nor was there much temptation to drill holes into it and blow it open with powder or dynamite. The job was to be done eXpeditiously aud noise- lessly. Ergo, the burg ar, brought to bear the powerful amp in general use in safe factories, a simple and ef- fective instrument, by the aid of which the spindle was pulled entirely out of the lock, the tumblers Of the lock al- lowed to drop down. after which the safe bolts were drawn by the mere turning of the knob. The clamp is a heavy bar of steel bent in the form of a half square, with a threaded hole in the stem through which winds tho steel lever rod. At one end of the rod is ball and wise that seizes upon the knob, and when the operator vigorous ly plies his lever and begins to unwind the thread rod, something is found to yield, and naturally it is the cast-iron knob and it's fastenings.
 The Cincinnati experiment was thor. oughly successful, and will probably be the signal to the fraternity through out the country how to argue with stubborn lock. The method Is simpler and safer than the old explosive style and knocks into shadCwy perspective the tedious and time-consuming drill system. Chicago Inter Ocean.
