the bottom as if it were solid mass. at
the same time producing noise similar
to that caused by an iron hammer. The
shock is sometimes of such force that it
breaks the flask. Theexplanationi is that
the water is no longer composed of iso-
lated drops as it would be in the open
air, and it therefore acts like solid
body. With the same apparatus. q second
experiment. can be overwhelmingly,
that of making the water in the bottle
boil by blowing on the flask. To do so,
first let the water boil up again as in
the previous case. but this time without
removing the cork. Now take the flask
out of the water and set it aside to cool.
When it is just about tepid, hold a piece
Of ice close to the top of the flask and
the water will again boil up. The
same result can be produced by pouring
a little cold water over the bottle. or
simply las shown in the illustration, by
blowing on it through straw. at the
height Of the waters level. The cold
condenses the vapors formed by ebul-
lition, causing a vacuum. and as the
temperature required to make water
boil varies with the pressure to which
it is subjected, it follows that the more
perfect the vacuum the lower will be
the temperature at which the water
will boil.-Once Week.

Announcing the Engagement.

An engagement should be announced
first by the family of the bride-elect.
writes Mrs. Burton Harrison in tho
Ladies' Home journal. This is done
either verbally and informally to
friends or by note to those whom it is
desired shall receive early information.
The man may at the same time write to
those of his friends whom he desires to
have share in his happiness and whom
the girls family could not sowell reach.
Churlish. indeed. would be the spirit to
withhold interest in a new engagement,
and the telling of it by the principals
almost always inspires kindly feeling
for them in those told. Lovers have.
perhaps. the best founded claim to
thinking themselves of first interest to
a community of any class of people,

There is no doubt of the efficacy Of
the tremendously powerful explosives
which have recently been invented,
so long rs they can ba exploded

the enormous impact which is neces-
sary to obtain the required. velocity Of

this difficulty is overcome, the next
question is to prevent the shell from
exploding before penetrating the OBJ
ject against which it is fred.
The French pin their faith to mel.

tested. Shells filled with this compost
ton have been fired through ten inches
of armor without exploding. The
shells in this instance left the guns

the safety of melinite, and use . COM

successfully fred through five inches of

Ecrasite is used by Austria Its COM
position is a secret known only to the
two inventors, who are Austrians. This
explosive has been found to have espe-
cial destructive power when used
against earthworks.
Sweden has decided upon the inven-
ton OF n Swede, which is called bellite.
While it has not SO much explosive force
as many of the other compositions, vet
it is claimed to be more stable. Its
powers of preservation are also much
greater. The United States has been
making exhaustive trials Of . kind of
gun cotton known as emmenrite. The
air guns of the Vesuvius were designed
for discharging emmenrite shells, but
they did not prove satisfactory. Recent

BEWARE or SKINS.
An Important Caution with Regard to
the Eating Of Fruit.

An Important Caution with Regard tn
the Eating Of Fruit.
Fruit skins carry germs and are no
more intended for human sustenance
than potato skins, melon rinds or pea
pods. The bloom of the peach Is a
luxuriant growth of microbes, that of
grape only less so; and when these
skins are taken into the stomach they
find most favora BILE conditions for their
lively and rapid development which
cause the decay of the fruit before it is
possible TO digest it. This is the rca-
son many persons think they cannot
eat raw fruit. If they would in all cases
discard the skin they could derive
only good from the fruit itself. Nature
provides the skin for the protection of
the fruit from the multitude Of germs
which are ever ready to attack it, as Is
evidenced when the skin is bruised or
broken in any way. The microbes al
once begin their work of decay. and
the fruit is unfit for food. Children
are chief offenders in respect to this
rule and should be carefully watched
and frequently cautioned. A dairi-
ness as to the condition of fruit should
also be cultivated. to prevent its being
eaten unripe. or too old. on the verge
of decay. Reno mber that It is sweet
and ripe fruit. in prime condition only,
that is Observation-Disclosures Voice

rear. but no detail of this object is dis
tinguishable. The devils go behind it
and then seem to make some prepare
ton with their hands there. and then
they come to the front of the stage and
cause very thin but brilliant flames to
dart from their fingers. Bringing these
flames near their mouths, they seem to
swallow them, and then extinguish
them between their teeth.
When the two devils touch each
others hands a cracking is heard and
long flames dart forth for few seconds
from the tips Of their fingers, which
they continuously move.
In a subsequent experiment. without
putting anything in their mouths, they
blow with energy and a brilliant fame
makes its exit from between their lips.
They shoot forth jet of flame for a
considerable length of time. which GER
tainly exceeds half minute.
While these singular phenomena are
occurring the spectators absolutely
smell no odor. It is probable that the
combustion is due to a very volatile
essence, but we are unable either to
state precisely the nature of it or to
give an exact explanation Of the expert
ments performed. The red devils keep
their secret, and when they are ques-
toned remain mute.
For the chemist there are here some
interesting experiments to take up and
study.-La Nature.

Very often q too great flow of blood

will follow naturally upon any great
excitement. or long fit Of crying, or
in feverish condition, and may be
shown by feeling of heat in the head.
Then cool cloths to the forehead, or
the tepid bath, or hot mustard foot
bath, may be needed to draw the blood
away. Perhaps the blood is not of the
quality to nourish the brain. and SO
the nerve centers become hungry and
restless. This is often the case in scrof.
