It is possible to make pail Of wds
ter boil withouteputting it on the fire
and without applying external heat to
it in any way. In fact, you can make
pail of water boil by simply stirring
it with d wooden paddle. The feat
was recently performed in the physi.
cal laboratory of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, in Baltimore, Nd, and any
ono may do it with d little trodbls and
perseverance. All you have to do is
to place your water in pail-it may
be ice water if necessary-and stir 1t
with d wooden paddle. If you keep
at it long enough it will certainly
boil. Five hotrs of constant and rapid
stirring are sufficient tc perform the
feat successfully. The water will, af-
ter d time, grow warm, and then Ii
will grow hot-so hot, in fact, that
you cannot hold So1t hand in 1t, and,
finally, it will boil. Professor Ames,
Of Johns Hopkins, annually illustrates
some of the phenomena OF heat by hay.
ing one of lis students perform the
trick in front of his class. It is q tire4
some job, but it is perfectly feasible.,
The point which Professor Ames
wishes to illustrate is what Is known
as the mechanical equivalent of heat.
By turning the paddle in the water at
o regular speed 1t is possible to find
out just how much work is required
to raise the temperature Of water one
degree. The best measurement so far
made, ind, in fact, the one which is
accepted rs the standard of the world,
is that which was measured in Johns
Hopkins college.

THE PORTRAIT.

When lonely, late and far from love,
/ restless through my chamber move,
Or brood, with sad surm SO,
One gaze yet claims me as its thrall;
My lady's picture from the wall
Looks down, in silence noting all,
/ And follows with her eyes.
Dear eyes, so tender, frank and sweet,
Aye, smiling when our glances meet,
AS IL to bring me cheer,
Forgive the thankless humors black
Which sometimes drlyeyour comfort back,
Vext that herself I still should lack :
Whose portrait bides so nearl
Forgive me that from you turn >:
To where, like jewels In their urn,
Herjletters lie ooncealed;
That slow con them, line by line,
Till from each treasured-page doth shino
A fame that leaps to mate with mine,
Her very soul revealed!
o, haunting pictured eyes, know a
How constant Is the debt owe
Your wltchery of artl
Yet you're her counterfeit at best,
While here her absolute self exprest,
Tells me from farthest cast to west
She follows with her heart.

He Will Erect the University
Building for S51,67o.
SUFFERS BID TOO LOW
He Forgot to Figure in the Brick, Which
Will Cost From $1,000 to $4,000
and So His Bid Is Thrown
Out of the List

MisSoula, Feb. 1.-THE university
building commission met this afternoon
pursuant to adjournment, and as a re-
suit of the meeting the contract for the
construction of the new university
building was awarded to George Dill
dine. his bid being $51.679. The contract
for the plumbing and the heating and
ventilating plant was awarded to the
Missoula Mercantile company for ST.

mission has found itself for the past
three days. being confronted by a. bid
that While it was the lowest. was GER.
tainly too low. was cleared to-day by
The appearance of Charles Suffer before
the board. Mr.. Suffers bid was ST.
225.35. and the majority Of the members
OF the commission shared the opinion
that the work could not be done for
that figure and done properly. For
that reason the bid was not accepted
at the first two meetings of the COM
mission after the bids We're opened the
commissioners desiring to further in
vestigate the matter. Mr.. Suffer to-
day demonstrated that the majority Of
the commissioners was correct as he
informed the commissioners that he
could not build the halls for the amount
of his bid. He stated that he had made
serious mistake in preparing his bid.
and had not figured in the cost of the
brick. This is estimated at from 81 900
to $4,000. and If added would make Mr.
Suffers bid in the bunch with the rest
The specifications were clear upon this
point, and all of the other bidders un-
derstood il. Mr.. Suffers bid, therefore,
was not considered this afternoon
The contract was awarded to the next
lowest bidder George Dildine. Mr.
Dildine is a Missoula man and has an
extended experience in the construction
of large buildings in this and other
cities. Everything is now in readiness
for the beginning of work at the new
buildings and as soon as the weather
will permit Mr.. Dildine will start
