Simplicity in the teaching of science

Prof. Dewar has the enyiaole faculty
Of making the most marvellous sclenti-
fic discoveries so plain as to be apprs-
ciated by an essentially popular audi
ence. In his recent lectures before th0
English Royal Institution he brought
out many wonderful results Of his in
vestigations, any one Of which may
work almost incredible industrial rev.
olutions when turned to practical use.
For instance. In dealing with the ef-
fects Of low temperature. he covered
his experimental table with f1agons of
air that had been turned to liquid.
which was enveIoped in carbonic acid
suow, and proved that at absolute zero
all metals have the same conductvity
to electricity, however much they diff
fer at higher temperatures. A low tenn
rerature was found to greatly increase
the strength OF metals. Iron at $50 de-
grees centigrade had twice the :cohe-
sive power 1t possesses at an ordinary
temperature. A fully saturated magnet
lost much Of its power when reduced to
1S0 degrees centigrade, and electricity
would not pass through a globe that
had been made intensely cold. What
did this meanI asked the Professor.
Obviously that something was now
frozen out which had before enabled
electricity to pass across the vacuous
space. In discussing the properties Of
liquid oxygen and liquid air he dropped
a globule Of alcohol into a quantity CT
liquid oxygen. The alcohol froze in
stantly into a solid ball, and would not
ignite with a match when removed
from the oxygen: but 1t speedily thaw
ed into a kind of slush In the warm air
Of the lecture room, and then burned
with its ordinary blue or ''snap-dragOn"
fame. The temperature Of liquid oNy-
gen is so low that carbonic acid gas,
such as we exhale in breathing or pro-
duce by burning charcoal, Immediately
froze to snow on coming in contact
with it. A quantity of liquid oxygen in
hansling the tube, produced such an in.
teEse cold (no less than 2O5 degrees
centigrade below the freezing point
that the very air of the lecture room,
heated as it was, was seen 10 li1nify on
the outside Of the tube, and drop like
rain into vessel placed below. One
Of the most beautiful experiments was
directed to show that air has color.
The Professor took strong iron cylin-
der about feet in length, and filled it
with oxygen compressed to pressure
of 100 atmosphercs. Then beam of
electric light was sent through the tubo
and on to screen. Between the END
Of the tube and the screen Il prism WAS
placed. This separated the light Oh the
screen into the spectrum, which. in
stead of being OF the ordinary rainbow
tints. had three black lines across it
one in the blue, one in the yellow and
one in the grccn-which showed that
the oxygen tand therefore air. was nor
colorless, but had selected certain tints.
Prof. Dewar also showed that the pro-
portions of oxygen and nitrogen which
go to form air nre almost uniform in
all climates. and stated that there was
not hundredtl. per cent difference
between the constituents of the air in
London and those OF the air Mt tho
top of the highest mountain in Peru.

Will be returned TO you with compound

know its truth.
We learn from personal investigation
that many farmers have not sown their
acreage OF wheat. being discouraged
from it by the low price. The question
of how best to employ this land left va
cant is n matter over which some pro-
titable studying may be done this win
ter.
A good hay Grip is always an easy
thing to sell and usually at price that
appears to leave very satisfactory pro-
fit A good many men are thinking
this way and so preparing to grow less
grain and more grass. But 1t must be
remembered that the hay takes away a
good deal of fertility from the land.
and II you do not want the farm to
grow poor you must arrange for re-
storing this. The best way TO make the
lay crop profitable IL to feed It Mt home
and return the manure to the soil.

A Good Meat smoker.

The illustration. which we re-engrave
from Farm and Home. is Of a device
for smoking meat. In smoking any kind
Of meat 1t is important that the smoke
be cooled before it comes in contact

difficult to nttain this desirable result
the device shown has given satisfaction.

The A. p. A. In Miiwnukee.

An A. P. A. row In Milwaukee's crack
regiment, the Fourth, is exciting military
and social circles. Captain West Of the Rusk
guard, is charged with dlscharging several
members of the regiment because they were
members of A. z. A., and an investigation Of
his conduct has been ordered. West is said
to have admitted that be had done so and
claims such action was necessary to restore
harmony in the regiment 1t Is further said
that Vests predecessor, Captain Burton, who
recently resigned, was a member Of the A.
p. A., and filled up his company with MEM
bers Of the association, fearing an uprising
of Catholics. 1t is claimed by some Of
Vests mora nervous friends that the propos-
ed investigation will reveal plot to pack the
Wisconsin National guard with members Of
the anti Catholic organization.

now quite extensively practiced In or
der to destroy the injurious germs
which 1t may contain. can be satisfac-
toiily accomplished with very simple an
paratlis. The vessel containing the
milk, which may be the bottle from
which 1t is to be used. or any other suit
able vessel. is placed inside of larger
vessel of metal. which contains the wa
ter. II bottle, 1t is plugged with alb
sorbent cotton. II this Is at hand, or
In Its absence other clean cotton will
answer. A small fruit jar. loosely COW
cred, may be used instead of a bottle.
The requirements are simply that the
interior vessel shall be raised about
half an inch above the bottom of the
other, and that the water shall reach
nearly or quite as high as the milk.
The apparatus IL then heated on n range
or stove until the wafer reaches tenn
Dcrature of 15J deg. Fahrenheit, when
1t is removed from the heat and kept
tightly covered for half an hour. The
milk bottles are then tEken out and
kept in n cool place. The milk may be
used any time within twenty-four
hours. A temperature of 40 deg.
maintained for half an hour is sufficient
10 destroy any germ likely to be pres
cnt in the milk, and It Is found in prac-
,icr that raising the temperature TO
100 deg. and then allowing 1t to stand
in the heated water for half an hour
inslres the proper temperature for
the required time. The temperature
should not be raised above 155 deg
otherwise the taste and quality Of the
milk will be impaired.
The simplest plan Is to take a tin
niil and fnvert perforated tin pic
plate In the bottom. or have made for
It a removable false bottom perforat-
ed with holes and having legs half an
frch high. to allow circulation Of the
water. The milk bottle is set oil this
false bottom. and sufficient water Is put
INTO the pail to reach the level of the
surface of the milk in the bottle.

the pail. Il cork Inserted and n chemical
thermometer put through the cork. so
the bulb dips into the water The
temperature cah thus be watched with
out removing the cover. If preferred,
an ordinary dairy thermometer may he
used and the temperature tested from

is very easily arranged, and is just MS

DiscOlOrnti0ns of Pianofortc Keys.
The process Of discoloration in ivory
proceeds more rapidly when light and
air can not get to it than when it is ex-
posed to their influence. This Is espec-
tally the case in the keys Of piano
forte. which often exhibit distinctly
yellow hue. A recent invention is de-
signed to prevent this discoloration,
and consists essentially in SO construct
ing the casing of the keyboard that the
keys shall always be exposed to the
light aEl the atmosphere. Silvered
glass gathers and reflects the light on
the keyboard, to which the air also has
free access. and the inventor claims
that by this arrangement the attrac-
tiveness of the exterior Of the instru-
ment is greatly enhanced.

Ano.her Preventative of Accidental
PolaoninE.

A correspondent adds another to the
long list Of suggestions which have
been made for lessening the danger Of
accidental poisoning. He says that
polygonal and futed bottles. which at
various times have been introduced for
poisonous mixtures. have failed chiefly
through lack of uniformity Of practice.
Complicated shoppers have been pro-
posed, but the public does not like COM
plications. The difficulty might be met
by an enactment that no chemist
should send out poisonous medicine
or linament in other than a test-tube,
or test-tubeshaped bottle. 1t would
not take long for people to learn that
bottles which would not stand, but only
lie on their sides meant danger, and.
moreover the awkwardness of such bot
ties would prevent their being used for
innocuous substances, after being emp
tied Of their first contents.
