MAKE YOUR OWN SNOW.
Ita Curious Formation In the FUN Rays Of

Ita Curious Formation In the Fun Rays Of
aJuly sun.
Two solid bodies, one yellow, sulphur,
the other black carbon, unite under GER
tain circumstances to form a colorless
liquid called sulphide of carbon which
must be handled with much precaution
on account of its great explosive prop
erty. The soluble property Of sulphide
of carbon renders it valuable to take
spots off of garments If its odor is
more disagreeable than that of benzine
or turpentine, it has at least the advan-
tage of being dispelled quickly in conse-
quence of the prompt evaporation of the
liquid. There is nothing equal to it to
take off spots of paint on clothes. 1t
does not do it, however, without Great
ing great fear in persons who use it for
the first Time for they see on the very
place where, to their great pleasure, the
paint had disappeared large white
spot, the nature of which is hard for
them to define, and the more they brush
the more unsightly and the larger that
white spot grows Is then the garment
lost? No, for fortunately after Il few
moments the spot melts away never to
show again. 1t was snow and nothing
more The sulphide of carbon in eyapo-
rating takes heat from the cloth and
surrounding air and the result Of that
is a sudden lowering Of temperature suf-
ticient to freeze the yapor of the atmos-
phere.
Without operating on your clothes
you may make the experiment in the
following way: Fill small vial with
sulphide of carbon, taking great care to
do it far from all flame on heated stove.
Then close the bottle with a cork stopper
through whichyo have previously bored
small hole In this hole place a piece
of plotting paper made up into II small
roll The p. per must reach to the bot
tom of tho bottle and about an inch
above the rk. Within 10 minutes You
will see tn outside of this paper cover
ed with snow, the quantity of which
gradually Increases. The liquid has risen
through the pores of the paper as the oil
of Il lamp through the wick. When it
gets to the open air, it evaporateS, and
the water contained in the surrounding
atmosphere, being brought to a temper
allure below 30 degrees, has been frozen.
If you divide the paper outside of the
bottle into several pieces you obtain
flowers and most charming effects. You
may make the experiment i'll summer
and i'll the full rays of the sun. The re-
suit will be obtained then more prompt
ly, evaporation being more abundant. -

is! 1t is one which is specially adapted
to women also, as the large feminine cor

Burial Customs.

The Turks, perhaps, were the first people
to use ornamental burial grounds such as
we call cemeteries, but as to when this Gus
tom was first adopted in the land of the
crescent no one seems to know. The earlier
Jews buried their dead in the earth, tina,
method being without doubt the most an
cient burial mode known to man. The very
earliest Egyptians seem to have understood
the art of embalming and to have practiced
it from time out of memory. The ancient
Greeks and Romans cremated the body, the
ashes only receiving sepulcher, except in
case of illustrious warriors, statesmen, etc,
these latter being buried unburned as a
special mark of favor.
Some ancient tribes preserved only parts
of the body and burned or buried the re
mainder The parts retained and preserved,
dried or in liquid, varied according to tribal
notions With some it was the heart that
was thought to be too sacred for cremation
or burial, with others the liver, ears, nose,
tongue or fingers. The Tartars of 1000
years ago preserved only the thumb and
toe nails of their dead.-St. Louis Republic.

There is connection between the

action and courage frequently bordering
