Latent Heat.

The phenomena of latenaheat were first
investigated by DR.. Black, of Edinburgh,
neary 100 years ago. He was first attract
ed to the subject by noting thatit was impOs-
sible to raise the temperature of ice until it
was melted. For instance, it a pound of ice is
put over a spirit lamp, a large quantity of
the heat passes into the ice, but the mix
ture of ice and water shows no tendency to
rise in temperature until all the Ice has.
disappeared. The question then was what
became of the heat. 1t was proved that
the heat was used to melt the ice, but
where did it all go to z 1t had disappeared
and was nnaccounted for.
Another experiment was tried in which a
pound weight of water at 100 deg. g.. and
q pound of water of 0 deg. e. were mixed.
and the result was two pounds of water
at 80 deg. G. In the mixture the pound
Of boiling water gave W 80 deg, redu-
cling its temperature one.half, and the-COld
water receiving it is raised to so deg, But
it instead a pound of water at 100 deg. q.
and a pound Of ice ar 0 deg. be mixed we
have two pounds at the sam temperature,
but themixture, whenthe ice is meltPd, would
show but about10 deg. @. instead0f 80 deg.
Thus it would appear that 80 units of heat
had disappeared and were unaccounted for.
The experiment. was then tried, from which.
it was found that this eighty units Of heat
rGappeared when water was converted back
again to ice, and this heat was manifest
and given to the surrounding bodies. The
question was: Where does this heat go to
and where does it. come from when it re-
appears DIR. Black answered, that heat
was "a kind of matter, a subtitle and elastic
fluid, and water had a great capacity for
holding this fluid. Between the molecules
OF the water, it was said, there are minute
spaces into which the heat finds its way,
and there lies hidden as long as the water
remains in the liquid state. In this condi-
ton the heat produces no sensible effect on
the Thermometer. But no sooner does the
water begin to pass back into the solid
form of ice than this heat is forced to come
out from its lurking place and to make
itself sensible again. This was the doc
trine that prevailed down to the close of
the last century. The same action is seen
in making steam, for if heat be applied to
water, the temperature will rise until the
boiling point is reached. and if the steam
formed is allowed to escape, the water will
show no higher temperature, though heat
is being constantly adtled. This heat, it
was said, was concealed between the parti-
cles of fhe vapor, and was squeezed out
again when the 'valur was changed back to-
water. This is what is known to-day as
latent heat, just as it is called by DR..
Black, and tile point for tile engineer to re.
member is that in making steam 966 of the
units. of heat required to make a pound of
steam at atmospheric pressure disappear
and have no effect on the thermometer; al.

In the Parnell meeting at Goresbridge. Ire
land, yesterday Mr.. Redmond opened the
speech-making. He appealed to the voters to
show the world they could conduct al election
without descending to disgraceful scenes. He
said it was the humiliation of Ireland to find
those of her men participating in an election
at crisis in her national life resorting to OBJ
scene scurrility that would disgrace the lowest
dregs of city slums. tCries of ''Healy" Tan

quicklime into the eyes of defenseless man,

be. would live in history as that of the great
est Irishman since the days of Hugh O'Neill.

them who, seeing Mr.. Parnell had remained
before them, did not feel the blood coursing
hotly through his ve;ns? The speaker here
shouted Were ready to resent the dastardly Y,
murderous outrage" lCheers.l
He then said that those responsible for the
the lime. but also the men who hurled every
insult low thoughts could devise at the head of
Mr. Parnen.
Amidst continuous cheering Mr.. Parnell was
then assisted toward the front of his aagonet:e

Minnie Turpln's Insanity

Miss Minnie Turpin, formerly resident Of
this city, was committed TO an insane asylum in
San Francisco on Wednesday. Four years ago
while living in this city she began studying for
the stage and a bright future seemed before
her. She went to California about year ago
and has since developed suicidal mania, the
mental strain OF her hard study proving too
much for her. Her father, ]. Turpin, was an
Indiana Journalist and held government po-
sition in this city. On his death his widow
secured q pension.
