BOILING WATER NOT ALWAYS
HOT
Judgment Has Been Rendcred-Sec-

cold, boiling water, indeed! Boil

Don't I know? Haven't l scalded my
fingers more than once with water

The speaker was right, and yet, ac-
cording to the New Orleans Times
Democrat, he was wrong. Boiling
water is not always very hot water,
in spite of his painful experience.
When water boils ordinarily it is be-
cause great heat has separated the
tiny particles of water. forcing up
ward and outward in lively bubbles
the air which is contained in them.
This done in spite of the downward
pressure of the atmosphere. After the
water has become hot enough to boil
it can get no hotter, because the air
escapes 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 particles and set free the
air bubbles which are confined in the
water, so it begins to boil before 1t
becomes very hot. It ought hardly to
be called cold water, perhaps, but II
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 ele
walton in the Andes mountains put
potatoes in a pot of hot water over
hot fire. The water began to boil
almost Immediately, but the potatoes
did not cook All the afternoon and all
night the water dubbed and boiled,
but still the potatoes were not cooked
The boiling water was not hot enough.

Meals in Java. IErom the IiadY.l

Breakfast proper is served from sev. en to nine o'clock, but the Dutch have no idea of breakfast, and 1t is a very in. ferior meal in the hotels, at any rate, consisting merely of bread and butter, both bad, slices of cold meat left from the previous nights dinner, and eggs.
 The chief meal of the day Is ''tiffin, , which is composed of a dish peculiar to Java-the rice-table or "rys-tafel." 1" This is a thing to wonder at. It com mences with a soup-plate fuA of boiled rice, which is handed round in large bowls and served with wooden ladle. From ten to twenty dishes, all put on the table at once, are then handed round, and some of each put into the rice, or on 8 small plate beside the soup-plate. These dishes include fish, fowl, meat of various kinds, curried eggs, fried bananas, shrimp fritters, omelette and curry, finishing up with chutneys of all sorts, served in large round dish divided into many com partments This connection Is then mixed up and eaten with a spoon and fork. It Is followed by beefsteak, al- most raw, and fried potatoes. and this again is succeeded by dessert
