The weight of air has often been
tested by compressing it in receptacles
by the air-pump. That it really has
weight when SO compressed is shown
by the fact that the weight of the ves-
sells is increased slightly by filling
them with compressed air, and that
such vessels become specifically light
err" as soon as the air contained in
them is exhausted. Many elaborate
experiments on the weight of air have
proven that one cubic foot weighs 1876
grains, or something less than II
ounces. The above experiment on the
weight OF air is supposed to be made
at the surface of the earth with the
temperature at so degrees Fahrenheit.
Heated air, or air at high elevations, is

Ounce Preserves.

Ounces, which are supposed by some
authorities to be the golden apples of
the Besperides, which the Earth Cod
dess gave to Juno for a. bridal gift, are
among the most valuable of all fruits
for preserves. No one ever fails in
making ounce jelly II the peeling and
cores of the fruit are used, as they
should be. The addition of two ounces
to quart of apple peelings not only
gives n delicious flavor to the jelly
made, but renders the result almost
certain. There is so much gelatinous
matter around the seed of this fruit.
that any jelly containing them is sure
to form unless water to stew the fruit
has been added in overabundancc.-

Queer Kinds of spectaole..

Spectacles, to enable the user to see
objects near Mt hand or at distance. are
made in variey of forms. In COM
mon form the glasses are in two parts.
joined at the center. the upper halves
being of power suited to distance and
the lower halves to reading. Some
times piece is cut out of the glass and
piece of different power is put in
its place. Sometimes the variation is
made by cementing u wafer of glass
over a part of the spectacle glasses, ard
sometimes by grinding away part of
the spectacle glasses. There are made
also spectacles with crescent-shaped
glasses the upper part of the glass
being cut out entirely; the wearer
reads through the glasses and looks
over them to see at distance. There
are spectacles called clerical glasses.
