She WIS a Heroine.

Juliet Henshaw, the trained nurse who
died in Bellevue hospital, New York, the
other day, was "A real heroine. Very little
is known about her prior to the cholera
scare i'm 1892. There was call for volun-
tecrs to do the nursing at Swinburne is
land. Juliet IIenshaw was the first person
to volunteer. She was member of the So
cicty of the Kings Daughters. She ap-
piled personally to Health Officer jenkins.
He warned her Of the danger she was GO
ing into. She laughed and said she didn't
fear that. She felt it was her duty to go,
and she would go, no matter what the
risk. During all the cholera scare she was
the mainstay of the doctors on that little
island. She was fearless. Her training
had been excellent and she went about
her work rs no other nurse on the island
had ever done. She had her room in the
pcsthousc. She was tirclcss in her atten-
ton to the patients and slept scarcely three
hours out of the -. DR.. jenkins says:
1T was the noble self sacrifice Of this
woman and the remarkable care that she
accorded the patients intrustcd TO her that
made the percentage of mortality in the
cholera cases So low. Ii was lower than
had ever before been recorded here or
abroad. If any woman ever deserved

WHEN FRUIT FREEZES.
why Oranges Are Able to Resist Frost 70
AN Unusual Degree.

AN Unusual Degree.
The late Professor Newberry of Co
lumbia college, New York, showed SCI
entihcally some years ago how oranges
and apples are able to resist frost 70 an
unusual degree. His explanation is es-
pecially interesting TO every citrus fruit
grower.
The professor showed that 1t is law
Of capitalization or freezing or solidify-
ing that this process depends upon sew
eral conditions Of the liquid to be crys-
iallzed or frozen, by which is meant sim
ply that the liquid is changed into solid.
The effect Of evaporation has much TO do
with it, as this itself reduces the tempera-
ture Of liquid to a considerable extent,
AS may be discovered by any person who
will pour little ether in his hand and
blow upon it, when the greatly increased
GOODNESS will be felt. In India water is
frozen by exposing II in porous jars TO
the cold night winds when the tempera-
ture Of the air is several degrees above
the freezing point.
Ice may be formed In redhot cruel
BILE by the sudden evaporation of liquid
carbonic acid or in saucer under the re-
ceiver of an airpump by the evaporation
Of it and the rapid absorption of the va
por that escapes by reason of the reduced
pressure by sulphuric acid in another
saucer.
Again, solutions Of various substances,
as sugar and crystallized salts, will not
freeze at the ordinary temperature at
which ice is formed in pure water. Thus
a solution of salt requires lower tenn
perature TO become frozen than fresh
water does, and il is well known that
sugar strip can hardly be frozen at any
ordinary temperature. Further, the ten
sion under which liquids are held has an
effect in the same way. A light tension
makes freezing easier, while a high one
retards the congelation.
Now, all these facts have bearing in
the case of oranges and other fruits, as
well as the sap of trees. Watery sap of
very succulent plants freezes much more
easily than the sweet and dense sap of
the maple or the hickory. Some buds
will resist freezing quite stubbornly at a
very low temperature, and the resinous
covering OF the bud scales of trees, as
those of the horse chestnut, exert great
resistance to freezing.
The sap or juice of the orange contains
a large quantity Of citric acid In solu-
ton, and a low temperature Is required
to CONCEAL such a solution. II also con
tains considerable sugar, and this tends
to resist cold. The sap or juice, which
exists in this fruit in the proportion of
~ per cent in the orange, is under con-
siderable tension, and this exerts some
resistance to freezing, and finally the
sap Id not exposed to evaporation be-
cause Of its tight covering by which it is
protected.
Thus an orange must be exposed to a
lower temperature than the ordinary
freezing point of water before it will
freeze. The same applies to other fruits,
"a apples and vegetables and potatoes, to
some extent.-Pomona Cali Progress.

Henry Willard is said to be a man with
a total lack of appreciation for humor.
This story is told of him as happening
when he was president of the old Edison
General Electric company. Mr. Willard
got the idea that the Edison company
ought to build an electric locomotive. He
went to Thomas A. Edison and asked him
to design one. Mr.. Edison gave him bis
reasons for not wanting to undertake the
task and refused to do it. Mr.. Willard
then ordered 10 of the engineers Of the
Northern Pacific railway to submit designs
for electric locomotives, intending to have
Mr. Edison combine the best points Of all
into one. The drawings and specifications
arrived in the course of time and made
formidable mass Of data. Mr. Willard had
it all sent to Mr.. Edison with the request
to evolve design from the plans. Mr..
Edison replied 10y letter to the effect that
"the only man who could design an cleo
trio locomotive from this stuff was cruel
fed over 500 years ago" Mr.. Willard
soon after met Mr.. Edward II. johnson
and told him Of the trouble he had been
to, and that Mr. Edison had refused TO
make the design.
"And do you know, johnson, said MI.
Willard in conclusion, Edison said that
ali those Northern Pacific engineers ought
to be crucified. Electrical Review

Introduction of Envelopes.

The late Henry l.. Lipman of Phila-
deiphia gives this interesting statement
regarding the early use of envelopes in
this country: about 1912 ungummed en-
velopes made their first appearance as a
new importation from France, and was
the first TO begin their manufacture in
this country. Shortly afterward | inn
proved them by adding gum to the flaps,
and the gummed envelopes | made were
the first which had been seen anywhere.
and the first envelopes of any kind used
by the United States government were
made by me. The demand at first was
very small. Envelopes were as difficult
TO introduce as any new invention or i'm
provement is at the present time, and
they We're considered only as a tempo
rary fad which would soon 20 out Of

not patent or push them very hard, espe-
cially as had good trade in seals and

would interfere with them. At first
they were only used for business pur-
poses, and il was some time before they
