MELTING IRON IN WATER.
An Electric Experiment Which Opens Up
Large Possibilities.

Large Possibilities.
Among recent electrical expert
ments made on either side of the At
lantic, that of melting bar of iron
immersed in cold water has perhaps
excited more popular interest than
any other.
Electricity gives the process as
follows: The apparatus used is a YES
sci of glass or porcelain, provided
with a sheet Of lead electrode, con-
nected to the positive pole of a con-
tinuous current generator: the YES
sci contains sulphuric acid and
water. A flexible cable from the
negative pole is connected to
strong pair Of pliers with insulated
handles. Taking in the pliers a
piece of metal of any kind, iron, for
instance, and immersing it in the
acidulated water, the liquid is seen
Immediately in ebullition near the
iron rod or plate. which latter is
rapidly heated and brought to
dazzling white in a few seconds, and
soon begins to melt in spark-like
drops. The heating is produced so
quickly locally that neither the
water nor the body of the metal rod
have time to become hot.
So rapid an evolution of heat nee
essarily means a tremendously high
temperature. In a very short time
as high as 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit
have been developed, which is proven
by using a carbon rod instead of
metal one, when, in few moments,
amOrphous carbon fragments are
seen dropping off. The inventors
claim to have attained, with large
currents, the enormously high tenn
perature of 1000 degrees Fahren-
heit, or nearly five times hotter than
molten iron.
The first suggestion for the practi
cal utilization of the discovery was
for welding purposes, to which it is
evidently particularly well adapted.
Another application to which the ex
periments would seem to lead toward
is the tempering of one edge or one
extremity only of steel-cutting tools.
The hardening of the skin surface of
large pieces of metal, such as armor
plates, offers another inviting field.
Krupp, it is stated, is already trying
this new method of electric heating
for tempering the superficial surface
of large guns.

why the Light Went out.

In front of the high altar in the
cathedral of Salzburg there is great
lamp that is supposed to burn ''for-
ever and day" Not so very long
since folk were surprised to see it
go out morning after morning always
about the same time. 1t was thought
the attendant had neglected to give
it oil enough, and. though he de-
clared his innocence, he was told he
would be discharged if the oversight
were repeated. Unwilling to deal
unjustly with the man, the dean OF
the cathedral hid himself one night
in the church to see if he could solve
the mystery. He had not long to
wait. About 10 o'clock big bat
was observed descending the rope by
which the lamp was suspended from
the roof. Having reached the OIL ii
fed freely at it's own sweet will, and
then went away by the road it came.
Needless is it to add that the at
tendant held his place.

The Fish and the Boy.

The Neshaminy creek, in Pennsyl-
vania, in rainy seasons fills the bitches
of adjacent farms with water from
eighteen inches to two feet deep.
After a recent downpour three boys
went fishing up the creek and in a
ditch the boys espied three huge carp
Hopping about. One of the boys
jumped into the ditch and seized the
largest fish. The carp, nearly as big
as the boy, had the advantage of be-
ing in his native element, and plunged
through the water and mud until the
boys on shore thought that their COM
panion would surely be drowned. But
at last the fish grew so weak from its
great efforts that the boys dragged it
out upon the bank and there held it
until it ceased to struggle. Then
they lugged their trophy home, put it
on the scales and found that it
weighed thirty-two pounds.

the awkwardest time-just after the
farmers had got their usual loans, just
when securities were hard to realize;
in fact, just at the moment when the
ba nix, though in reality solvent, was
emphatically not in position to
answer long-continued demand for
payment on the spot. Mr.. Bradshaw
groaned out all these distressing facts
to his son Dick. 1t was, indeed, no
use talking to Dick, for he took no in

day in a boat with the Flirtington

to talk to some one.

Dick sympathized. but had nothing
to suggest except that it would not
make matters worse if he carried out
his engagement to go to the circus
with the Flirtington girls.
'-Oh, go to h--ll with the Flirtington
girls if you like" groaned Mr. Brad
