The Uses of Hot Water.

The best methods of using hot water
are as follows: For sprains Of the
ankle and wrist or any joint the part
should be thoroughly soaked for half
an hour at a time, night and morning,
in very hot water, writes A. Marcy,
NJ. D., in a very valuable list of DO
nestle Household Remedies in the
January Ladies' Home Journal. Any
one suffering from a sprain will II OF
require more than the first soaking
to convince them of the advantages of
hot over cold water. A flannel ban
dage should be applied firmly after
each treatment. For bruises very
much the same method should be fol-
lowed, although the application need
not be continued for SO long a time.
For wounds and sores the best meth
cd is TO drip or pour for a few min
utes. For styes and infammed eyelids
and even for sore eyes, use water as
hot as a be borne by sopping. To
stop bleeding, very hot water applied
to the raw surface will be found eff.
fcacious. For many forms CT dyspep-
STA and bi%lliousness, particularly a ca
tarrhal condition of the stomach, a COB
let of hot water, drunk after the
nights fasting. will give relief. For
continued application in the form of
poultice, as in catarrh Of the breast,
pleurfsy, pneumonia, ETC.; a jacket of
cotton batting wrung out in very hot
water by means CT q towel and cover.
! ed with oiled silk or waxed paper,
should be used.

Of which is Caprera, since renowned
as the home of Garibaldi. The troops

Al yswa cave Whore Ice Freezes
TAR0ughOut the Summer.

An xovva cave Where Ice Freezes
Throughout the Summer.
On the northeastern bank of the up
per Iowa river, opposite the city Of
DEBORAH, Iowa, is q remarkable cave.
During the warmer days of summer
Ice IL formed on its sides and floor.
The rest Of the year, even when it is
freezing outside, no ice is formed in
the cave. During a visit to this cave
last July the temperature was 81 de-
greea. The walls were covered with
frost and there was probably half a
ton Of ice in the cave. In a few places
where the water was slowly dripping
icicles were being formed. From the
entrance to the ice the distance was
about ninety feet. The entrance was
yelled with q cloud of mist. There
was no %perceptible current Of air in
the cave.
This is the explanation Of the phe
nomenon. 1t Is q well established law
Of nature that the evaporation Of any
liquid requires heat. To evaporate n
gallon Of water at 212 degrees re.
Quires as much heat as to raise CT gal
Ions from freezing point to boiling
point. If we suppose the water drip
ping into the cave to have a tempera-
ture of 60 degrees, every gallon Of 1t
cooled and converted into ice will give
off enough heat to change n gallon
from 60, the boiling point, and convert
It into vapor. In other words, one gal
lon of water e%vaporated from the out
er wall of the cave changes five gal
Ions of water in the cave into ice. So
the warmer the day the faster the
evaporation, the more ice will be
formed in the cave. On cold days the
evaporation Is only sufficient to re-
duce the temperature inside the cave
to some point above freezing. So no
ice Is formed. And the colder and
damper the weather, the higher the
temperature in the cave becomes. But
on hot, dry days in the summer, when
evaporation is going on rapidly one
will always find ice there. When this
cave was discovered it was said ia
have been used by an Indian chief
for a cold storage, in which he placed
hot-headel warriors of nations to
which he was hostile and, divesting
them Of their clothing. let them perish
from the cold.-Milwaukee Journal.
