THE SUGAR PALM.


a South Amei lean Tree Which Produces
Lots OF Sap.
The sugar maple of New England has
a rival.
1t grows in the Andes of Chilli at
height of from 5000 to 1900 feet above
the sea. 1t is curious variety of that
most useful, wonderful tree, the palm,
whose varieties also give us dates, and
coco, and cocoanuts, and fans.
This palm is not slim and graceful
like most kinds we see in tropical pic
lures. 1t is about fifty feet tall, with
IA very thick trunk, enlarging in diam
eter from the ground up to about half
its height, and then tapering again to
the top, where it's long leaves spread
out.
These sugar palms produce great
quantities of sweet sap, which, when
boiled down, makes both molasses and
sugar of a peculiar but delicious flavor.
On one estate the trees grew in such
numbers that once it was determined

GOLD BOILING WATER.

at High Attitudes 1t Is Not Hot Enough
to Cook Potatoes.
Gold boiling water indeed! Boiling
water is the hottest kind of thing.
Don't | know? Haven't | scalded my
fingers more than once with water from
the teakettle?"
James is right, and yet he is wrong.
Boiling water is not always very hot
water, in spite of his painful expert
ence.
Ihls is the way it happens.
When water boils ordinarily it is be-
cause great heat has separated the
tiny particles of the water, forcing up
ward and outward in lively bubbles the
air which is contained in them. This
is done in spite of the downward pres
sure of the atmosphere. After the
water has become hot enough to boil
it can get no hotter, because the air es-
eapes as fast as it is sufficiently heated
to do So
There are places on the earth where
the pressure of the atmosphere upon
the water is so slight that it requires
but little heat to push apart the parti-
clcs and set free the air bubbles, which
are confined in the water, SO it begins
to boil before it becomes very hot. 1t
ought hardly to be called cold water,
perhaps, but it is certainly far from
being as hot as ordinary boiling water.
This state of things is found on all
high mountain tops, as the atmosphere
grows weaker and its pressure less as
one ascends.
a gentleman travelling at great
elevation in the Andes mountains put
some potatoes in a pot of water over a
hot fire, according to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. The water began to
boil almost Immediately, but the pota-
toes did not cook. All the afternoon
and all night the water bubbled and
boiled, but still the potatoes were not
cooked. The boiling water was not hot
enough.
