Practical Chemistry.


Once, when lecturing to his class, a
certain learned professor thus delivered
himself:
II would have you observe, gentle
men, that coal, when exposed to the &C
ton of the air, loses 10 per cent of its
weight and heating properties. This
arises through the influence of the al
kaline constituents of the''-
"But, sir, how is it when dog lies
near the coals:" interrupted one Of his
hearers.
"Young gentleman, this is neither
the time nor the place to crack these
small jokes of yours, severely retorted
the professor.
81 beg your pardon, sir, but that is
exactly what my father thought and
said when he found it necessary to leave
the stock of coal for few nights in the
open air, and it was discovered that it
had diminished to the alarming extent
of over 70 per cent. He then consulted
me, as a student of chemistry, as to
what could be done to stay such loss,
and suggested that savage dog should
be procured and kept chained near the
Goals He took my advice, and since
then our Goals have not lost so much as
2 per cent in an entire month. LON

Forest Air.

There is general impression that the
humidity of the air is greater in the
woods than i'll the open fields. This is
contradicted, however, by the result Of
observations recently made in Germany.
1t was found there that the humidity,
both relative and absolute, was slightly
greater III the open than i'll the woods.
and this was true equally i'll the morn
ing and in the afternoon.
AS to the temperature of the air
among the trees, it was trifle higher
than in the open i'll the morning, and in
a more marked degree in the afternoon.
