Freezing a Soap Bubble.


Prof Dewar lectured yesterday afternoon
at the Royal Institution on the Solid and
Liquid States Of Matter" Ice. he said. was
ordinarily regarded as a viscous substance.
inasmuch as We could squeeze it, When We
applied considerable pressure to 1t We could
force 1t into the form Of a wire. But ice
was none the less a brittle substance. and IL
We cooled 1t. as the lecturer did by pouring
liquid air upon 1t. it would crack all over
which the ice obligingly did. From the ice
the lecturer passed to an Investigation
which had been Travelled over In a previous
lecture. He spent some time in explaining
his vacuum vessels. Sometimes these vessels
are made in the shape of hagons, sometimes
In the form Of test tubes; for one experi-
ment they are made in the shape of the COB
lets which We usually associate with the
historic drama. In the form OF test tubes
use Is made OF double set of them one in
side the other. to make liquid and solid air.
In the outer tube liquid oxygen is placed.
Pressure is taken off the liquid oxygen by
air pumps until 1t cools to such anextent tina
II hQuefies the air in the inner tube, which
is surrounded by the liquid oxygen. Pressure
Is then taken of this liquid air by another
set of air pumps until II grows so cold that.
as was shown with the greatest success YES
terday afternoon. the liquid suddenly solidi-
lies, and the wondering spectator sees the
air which he is breathing frozen to a solid
mass before his eyes
Prof. Dewar showed that red oxide of
mercury when subjected to the intense cold
OF liquid oxygen lost its color and became
yellow; that amyl alcohol solidifes to a
CLASSY mass, and methyl alcohol to a mass
OF white crystals; that a hydro-carbon like
turpentine. freezes to a clear glass. Bisul-
phide OF carbon when colored purple with
iodine becomes a slightly red crystalline
solid The prettiest experiment Of the after
noon was the last. Prof. Dewar took one Of
his goblet-Shaped vacuum vessel and poured
about couple of tablespoonfuls Of LIQUID
air into 1t. The atmosphere OF the goblet
then became SO cold that when its image
was projected upon the screen the specta-
tors could see tiny snow STORM going en-
In the glass. And now" said the professor.
Il will see IL We can freeze a soap bubble %
He then lowered a soap bubble into the
frozen atmosphere with an iron wire Upon
the screen the spectators saw tie image Of
the bubble becoming darker and its move
ments slower. Suddenly IL contracted 1t
had frozen. and two-thirds of the frozen
globule fell away from the wire and fioated
like a transparent eggshell on the LIQUID
AIR.

HAD TO HAVE HIS PIPE.
Mikes Preparation for Spending the
Night Away From Home.


From the Chicago Times.
Over on the north side in one of the swell
residence districts, lives jovial old fish
man, who has made a goodly fortune In the
contract line and who several years ago.
at the urgent solicitation of wife and
grown-up daughter. left the old home near
Goose Island for the fashionable quarter in
which they now live. The old man has pre-
tended to be contented there, but his SEEM
ing content has been but a mere bluff
Among his friends is one Casey boss
mason, who still lives in the old Goose Is
land neiShborhood. The rich contractor has
never forgotten Casey in his prosperity, and
he often recalls old times by inviting him
over to spend an evening and take drop
Casey does not feel at home i'll the great
house, but he likes his old boss and he al
ways appears when asked. Then the two
retire to the contractors little den, off of
the library. where they take off their coats
always, and their boots sometimes. smoke
drink and quietly talk over old times One
evening last week Casey was invited over
and he was on hand promptly at the ap-
pointed hour. The two cronieS chatted to-
gether until a late hour, and then Casey
prepared for his long journey home. The
rain was falling in torrents when the two
reached the door, and the contractor said:
Look here, MOike, there's no need yer
gon' home in this Hood. Oi hev a shpare
rune upstairs where ye can sleep. Stay
over night wild me-
"All roight, Tim replied Casey. "Oi will
TIL ould woman won't worry"
So the contractor summoned servant
and had Casey shown to the 'shpare rune"
Then he returned alone TO his den to look
over the plans Of new block he had on
hand. He figured and worked hard, and
about midnight he was startled by a sharp
ring at the door bell. Every one else had
retired, so he was obliged to answer the
ring in person. When he opened the front
door there stood Casey, dripping wet with
a smile on his face.
"Howly murther! Moke" exclaimed the
astonished contractor. 'Oi fought We was
to stay all noight here"

Casey. That's why OF went home for me

Uncle Sam has one of his own jack knives
in his collection. 1t is the one which has
replaced the old clasp knife. or frog sticker
formerly carried by his Jolly tars. The
sailor. you know. carries his knife attached
to the white cord. lanyard, round his
neck and stuck down in the tight band of
his trousers, The old knife was an awk-
ward thing to use In nasty weather, when
the wind was bowling alOft, and often
much valuable time was lost in getting the
blade open when a rope had to be spliced
or frozen knot cut.
Very Otter Jack had to hang on with one
hand and open the knife with his teeth
Another objection TO the old knife was the
ease with which it could be and often was
changed from useful instrument into a
weapon of defense or offense.
The new knife is arranged with hollow
handle. into which the blade slips by press
ing spring in the back. 1t does not open
like an ordinary knife, but by pressing the
spring III holding the knife down the blade
runs out of it's own weight. 1t is cut off
square at the points, SO that Jack is less
liable to injure his fellow during any little
misunderstanding which might occur, for
the spring which releases the blade also al
lows it to run up IN the handle when pressed
upon, and as 1t Is placed just where the
hand is sure to grip 1t during a jack knife
argument, IL would be almost sure to run
into the handle. rather than anything else
An ugly looking knife Is Eel curvo' Of
Chile 1t is carried by all the natives and
is used for carving beef and cutting throats.
1t looks like a pruning knife. The blade Is
heavy and has a murderous looking hook at
the end. Next to el curvo IS a Japanese
knife. with a long, polished blade set in a
soft wood handle. 1t is engraved with Jap
anese characters, and is straight up the
back, with a tapering curve on the cutting
edge Like most Japanese blades, 1t as
sharp as razor and finely tempered. In
the side of the Japanese small sword you
have probably noticed a smaller blade. which
fits in a hollow in the scabbard. 1t was
used in feudal days in Japan as a paper
cutter, and also to slash the face in time Of
war. When a general believed himself to
be mortally wounded or likely to be taken
prisoner, he would take out his paper cutter
