/ will now give a brief description of
a few of the most interesting of the
experiments illustrating the qualities
of this extraordinary fluid.
First, | pour a quantity into a basin.
Thrust your hand into it. No, | am not
joking. You can touch it with perfect
lmpunity, provided you withdraw your
hand instantly; you will only expert
ence a slight sensation of GOODNESS. In
precisely the same way you might
plunge your finger for the fraction of a
second into a pot of molten metal with
out harm, provided the fingers were
moist. In both cases the reason is
the same: a thin cushion of vapor is
formed next the flesh, which for a mo-
ment encases and protects it like a
glOve-only here the VapOr is air, and
the heat that liberates it comes from
your finger. But don't be too DELHI
crate in your movements, for a pause
would mean a frostbite at least. Ihave
received some severe burns" in con-
sequence of treating liquefied air with
undue familiarity, and such injuries
heal very slowly.
You will observe that your hand re-
mains perfectly dry; the liquid does not
adhere to it. This is as fortunate as
it is uneXpected-for if it wet your flesh
as water does the slightest contact
would be disastrous. If l throw a small
portion upon your coat sleeve, the
cloth is not moistened, but it becomes
SO chilled that it is white with frost.
An oyster dipped for a moment in a
bowl of the liquid becomes as cold as il
it had remained in the refrigerator for
hours. This makes a very pretty din
ner table experiment; but if you leave
the toothsome morsel too long it be-
comes as hard as the shell from which

Thunder and Lightning.

1t is said that lightning may be rec
ognized at a distance of two hundred
miles when the clouds among which
it plays are at a high altitude, but
that thunder can seldom be heard at
a greater distance than ten miles. The
sound of thunder is also subject to
refraction by layers of different density
in the atmosphere, as well as to the
effects of Sound shadows" produced
by hills and other interposed objects.
These are among the reasons for the
existence of the so-called sheet" or
summer" lightning, which seems to be
unattended by thunder.

place half a pint of it in a paper mold,
and pour over the surface a quantity
of liquefied air. The quicksilver, for
feiting all claim to it's name, is soon
frozen into a rigid bar, resembling a
block of tin, but so cold that it would
almost blister your flesh to touch it.
In each end Of the mold was inserted a
large screw-eye, and both these are
now firmly fixed in the hardened met
al. To one of these eyes l attach a
cord, and suspend the bar like a plum
met; to the other eye, l fasten a weight
of, say, fifty pounds. Fifteen or TWEEN
ty minutes will elapse before the mass
is sufficiently thawed to allow the
weight to pull out one of the screw eyes
when it falls to the floor with a sud
den crash; it will be fully half an hour
before the metal is completely melted.
In the Arctic regions, however, mer-
curry is occasionally frozen by natural
cold, and spirit thermometers are used;
but these instruments would be quite
worthless at the temperatures now at
tanned by artificial means. This l dem
onstrated by pouring a pint or so of
proof spirits into a vessel containing
liquefied air. The alcohol is soon fro

Charles E. Tripler tells in the June
Cosmopolitan Of his wonderful discov-
cry of liquid air. From this we quote
the following excerpts:
Liquid air is simply air such as we
breathe, from which most of the heat,
originally derived from the sun, has
been extracted. This | am now able
to effect very easily and cheaply by me-
chanical means. AS a result, some tif-
teen minutes after the process is start
ed, a clear, frosty looking liquid begins
to pour down from a tube about an inch
in diameter, and speedily fills the re-
ceptacle placed beneath to receive it.
This rate of production can be main
tanned all day if desired. Each cubic
foot of liquid represents nearly eight
hundred cubic feet of ordinary air, and
in its expansion as it returns to its gas
rus state lies a power of the highest
efficiency, easy to control, ready to be
harnessed and utilized. It's tempera-
ture is about three hundred and twelve
degrees below zero, Fahrenheit.
If a tumbler is filled with the liquid
it boils vigorously, absorbing a portion
of the heat around it, and at the end of
half an hour has completely disappear
ed, indistinguishably mingled with The
air around us, from which it differs on
ly in it's greater purity. The tumbler,
meanwhile, has become thickly coated
with frost. If, however, the liquid be
placed in a glass bulb, set inside of a
larger bulb, with a half-inch space be-
tween the two from which the air has
been exhausted, it is so protected by
this vacuum jacket that it vaporizes
very slowly, lasting for a number Of
hours.
In this more quiet state, it has the
appearance Of pure water, except that
it shows a pale-blue tint, which inten-

fluids present-liquetied nitrogen and

People often say to me: why! l
thought the stuff was cold, but it is
really hot!" In a sense this is true,
for it boils while everything around it
is frozen solid. And here is the para
dox, the harder it boils, the more in
tense becomes the cold. This fact is
well illustrated by the following eXper-
iment:

Venice is Il of the most singular
and famous cities in Europe, and is
built upon a cluster of islands in the
lagoon. This lagoon is banked off
from the Adriatic by a long, narrow
sandbank which is divided into a num-
Der of islands, six in number. Inside
of this sand bank and between it and
the mainland is the lagoon, a sheet of
shallow water. In parts of this
marshy, s~ea-covered plain, islets have
become consolidated into ground, firm
enough to be cultivated. And in the
midst OF o. crowded cluster of such
islands, amounting to between seventy
and eighty in number, the city of
Venice is built. The chief of these
islands is called Isolda de Rialto, or
Island of the Deep Stream. The ISL
ands, in many places mere shoals, af-
ford no adequate foundation for build
ings, and the city, for the most part,
is built upon an artificial foundation
of piles and stones. The Grand Ca
nal divides Venice into two equal parts
and is the main t~horoughfare for traf-
fc and pleasure. The city is subdi-
vided by some n hundred and forty
six small canals or water streets, and
the gondola is used for the carriages.
Access can also be had to various parts
of the city by land, there being over
three hundred bridges across canals;
the Rialto, the most famous bridge,
| spans the Grand canal. There are also
narrow lanes in among the houses.
This beautiful and wonderful city is
replete with interest for the student
and tourist.

Ancient Methods of signaling

The fabulous honor of being the first
inventor of the art of signaling is be-
slowed by certain classical writers up
on the ingenious Palamedes. This hero
may have introduced improvements in
detail, but it is certain that long before
the time of the Trojan war the Egyp-
tians and Assyrians, if not the Chinese
and other nations of remote antiquity
of whom monumental records remain
to us-had developed regular methods
of signaling by fire, smoke, flags, etc.
The great wall, built by the Chinese
ages ago, and 800 miles long, is stud
ded with towers. Between these sig
nails were interchanged when troops
had to be collected in order to resist
attack at any point threatened by the
Tartars or "outer barbarians." By Ma
jor Boucheraeder and others it has been
considered that the huge tower of Babel
was erected for similar as we'll as for
a number of different purposes. That
is to say, for the signaling not necessar-
lily of any particular words or sentences
but of expected events, imperial de-
crees, military orders and other mat
tiers intended to be understood through
conventional signals, whether of lights
flags, semaphores or other devices, by
all the motley host of nationalities anc
languages of which the Chaldean en-
pire was composed.-Cornhill Maya

a Curious Fish.

The "Darrot-fish' is an inhabitant Of
the tropical seas, and is perhaps the
most wonderfully-colored fish in the
world. The whole body is covered with
a beautifully drawn pattern of elongat-
ed hexagons, as perfect and regular as
those of a honey-comb.
The colors, of this remarkable fish
are as follows: The general hue is
azure blue, covered with a ~hexagonal
network Of golden yellow. The oddly
shaped head is bright yellow, streaked
and spotted with blue. The dorsal and
anal fins are brown, edged with green,
and the pectorials and ventals are
brown with the front rays green. The
tail is wholly green. The species are
very numerous, and received their title
of "parrot-ish" from the rich beauty OF
their colors and the peculiar form OF
their jaws, which are very strong, Gov
cred with great numbers of mosaic-like
teeth, and curved in a name that
greatly resembles the beak of a parrot.
AS the fish wears out its teeth rap

ensuring a continual supply of new
teeth to replace those which are worn
away, and rendered useless. The
young teeth are p~erpetually being de-
veloped towards the base of the jaws,
and advanced in orderly succession to-
wards the front, taking their places
with unfailing certainty in the densely
compacted mosaic work which arms the

MRS. SARTORIS, AMERICAN.
Gen. Grants Daughter Tells Why SIN
Applied for a Citizenship Bill.

49,
Applied for a citizenship Bill.
From New York Sun; Mrs. Nellie
Grant Sartoris, who applied last April
for readmission to citizenship in this
country, said in speaking of her appli-
cation: my mother and my brothers
live here. 1t was here that my revered
father lived. | and my children want
ed to live here and to be citizens of the
United States; l, therefore, asked con-
gress to pass the bill; and feel CRATE
full to those in authority for their
| prompt and unanimous action. o
| see. by my marriage to Mir. Sartoris,
an Englishman, l became a subject Of
| Great Britain. l left England when
my husband died and returned to the
United States. l am glad to be in
America and to be a citizen of my faith
er's country. England has the tender
est associations for me and for my
| children, but we shall be happy here.
This is our home. My son is proud of
the fact that he was born in America,
and long ago he expressed a desire to
become identified with the United
States" The first news that Mrs. Sar-
toris had that her son had a thought of
going to war was when he showed her
Gen. Lees reply: "If there is war and
| am in the saddle, you shall ride with
me-" q cannot say" said Mrs. Sar-
toris, that ! am glad to see my son
go to war. For his sake, though, I try
to look pleased. This war has already
accomplished one thing for which my
father longed, even in his last moments
the wiping out of sectional lines and
the uniting of the whole people-and
know he would rejoice greatly to see
my son riding by the side of Gen. Lee;
both moved by one hope, the success of
the stars and stripes" The house in
which Mrs. Grant lives with her daugh-
ter and her grandchildren was formerly
owned by Senator Edmunds and is on
Massachusetts avenue. 1t is an Eng
lish basement house, richly furnished
and with an unusually large library. A
collection of tiger skins is n of the
conspicuous beauties of the place. Mrs.
Grant and Mrs. Sartoris entertain con-
tinually in the season. Mrs. Sartor&
has the complexion and figure of a
young girl. Her daughters are both
dark like their mother, but the son has
inherited from his father the blond
complexion of the Englishman.

Branding Seals by Electricity

The surgeons electric cauterizing
wire has been used by the United States
fur seal commission with much success
for branding female fur seals. A dyna-
mo, driven by a gasoline engine, sup
piled the current, which heated a plat
mum wire to incandescence. By NOV
ing this once over the animals body,
the hair and fur were virtually moved
away. A second sweeping of the wire
across the surface destroyed the cells
so that no more fur car grow there.
This destroys the value of the pelt, and
thus operates to prevent the killing of
female seals at sea.

A Musical Wheel.

The bicycle has reached another
phase of it's constant development
through a novel and highly interesting
invention, consisting in a musical in
strument which may be attached to any
bicycle and plays popular airs, without
the aid of the rider, in a loud and me-
lodious manner, when the machine is
in motion. This instrument consti-
tutes an entertaining companion for the
bicyclist on his roamings, which are
frequently rather lonely; it is so much
more welcome as it will be a compan-
ion entirely submissive to the riders
wishes. 1t has been invented, patented
and placed upon the market by a firm
in Hamburg, and is fittingly called
"troubadour," after the wandering mu-
sicians of the middle ages.-Science and
