HAD MEYER SEEN 4 NEGRO

Several years ago l went up into
the mountains to the town of c.,
Which was at that time sixty miles
from the railroad. There were two
merchants doing an immense business
there and | could not afford to miss
their trade, if they did use "ginsang"
as legal tender.
There was then no colored man o.
woman in that county, and many Of
the people had never seen a negro.
The day | got there happened TO be
court day." and the little town was
full of men, women, children, dogs
and corn whiskey. They were drink
ing, dancing in the street, and having
jolly time generally. When L drove
in and stopped before one of the big
stores my driver, who CHANGED to be
very black, was Immediately the CEN
ter of interest. The crowd swarmed
around my hack and gazed in wonder
at him.
They advised me to Go wash that
black off his face etc, and one wom-
an said to another, while walking all
around him, 81 have often heerd tell
of em, but this is the first one L ever
seed" Soon the crowd became very
familiar with the poor fellow; first
they kicked him, then began firing
their pistols and hitting the ground
close to his feet. They seemed to
think it great fun to make him dance.
They treated him so roughly that the
merchant advised me to get him away
from them, or he said they would kill
him just for the fun of the thing.
finally succeeded in getting him snug
gled into the merchants kitchen, and
he was glad to stay there until the
next morning.
I made good sales and left before
daylight the next morning, and can
honestly say I have never had driv-
er, either before or since, make such
good time as that one did the first
ten miles away from that town. 1t
is needless to say I was never able to
get the same driver for any subse-
quent trips, although the country
through that region is now very
much mproved.-Leslie's Weekly.

Troubled by Little ThInga.

The Quaker spirit, at its best, Is the
spirit of truth, righteousness and all
embracing charity; but sometimes
Quakers, like other people, make too
much OF little things, thereby becom-
ing, what they loathe, Journalists. The
Church Standard tells two anecdotes
illustrating this tendency. In the days
when Friends were accustomed to wear
cooked hats turned up at the sides, one
good Friend bought hat OF this de-
scription, without noticing that 1t was
looped up with button. He sat one
day in meeting, when he noticed some
looks of curious displeasure. Taking
off his hat, he saw the reason for the
looks, and then rose and said, Friends,
If religion consists in a button, l
wouldn't give a button for it." His
sermon was at least understood. A
somewhat similar story Is told Of an
influential Friend who, on his way to
meeting, was caught in a drenching
rain, and borrowed a neighbours coat
He seated himself opposite to Jacob
Lindley, who was so much disturbed
by the glittering buttons that "his
meeting did him no good" When the
congregation rose to depart, he felt
constrained to go up to the Friend who
had so much troubled him and inquire
why he had so grievously departed
from the simplicity enjoined upon
members Of their society. The good
man looked down upon his garment,
and quietly replied, II borrowed the
coat because my own was wet; and In
deed, Jacob, did not notice what but
tons were on It." Jacob shook his
hand warmly, and said, Thou art
better Christian than am, and will
learn of thee" Jacob was right. He
had been paying too much attention
to the mint, anise and cummin" OF
Quaker tradition.

cord, and suspend the bar like a plum
met; to the other eye, 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; 1t 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 dem
onstrated by pouring a pint or so of
proof spirits into a vessel containing
liquefled air. The alcohol is soon fro
zen, forming a snowy mass OF crystals.
BY stirring this, reduce II to the con-
dition Of viscid sugar, and easily lift
1t out with stick, from which 1t hangs
down in beautiful icicle seven or eight
inches long. By pouring over 1t a lit
tie more Of the liquid air, this may be
lIoZeu absolutely TlBlu.
Meanwhile the liquid air has been
simmering away in its dish, the outer
surface Of which has become heavily
coated with frost.
People often say to me: why! I
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
we'll illustrated by the following exper-
iment:
l partly fill teakettle with this an
omalous liquid. 1t promptly boils
without fire, but as the metal becomes
chilled 1t appears more quiet. When I
place it over the intense heat OF Bun
sen burner, 1t boils rather more vigor-
ously, though without violence-while
a sheet Of ice gathers on the bottom Of
the kettle directly over the blaze. This
by the way is formed from the products
of combustion, and consists partly Of
water vapor and partly OF carbon diox-
ide (carbonic acid gas) CONCEALED by
a cold against which the heat of the
fame is powerless.
l now drop into the kettle a bit Of
ice, and the ebulition is greatly accel-
erated-far more so than by the action
Of the Bunsen burner. 1t is as II !
had thrown in a hot stone. But when
l pour in few ounces OF water the tea
kettle fairly gurgles and boils over,
sending up from the spout long jet Of
steam, mingled with a spray of squirt
ing drops. The water, however, Is al
most instantly frozen. l invert the

Liquid
Air ....,.A
In War

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 l am now able
TO effect very easily and cSeaply by me
chanical means. AS a result, some fif-
teen minutes after the process 10 start
ed. a clear, frosty looking liquid begins
to pour down from tube about an inch
In diameter, and speedily fills the re-
ceptacle placed beneath to receive 1t.
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
eous state lies power OF the highest
efficiency, easy to control, ready to be
harnessed and utilized. Its tempera-
ture is about three hundred and twelve
degrees below zero, Fahrenheit.
II tumbler is filled with the liquid
It boils vigorously, absorbing a portion
of the heat around 1t, 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 its greater purity. The tumbler,
meanwhile, has become thickly coated
with frost. If, however, the liquid be
placed in a glass bulb, set inside OF
larger bulb, with half-inch space be-
tween the two from which the air has
been exhausted, 1t is so protected by
this vacuum jacket that it vaporizes
very slowly, lasting for a number of
hours.
In this more quiet state. 1t has the
appearance of pure water, except that
1t shows pale-blue tint, which inten-

There are, in fact, two entirely distinct
fluids present-liQuefed nitrogen and

ing absolutely limpid.

edent.
Pouring some Of the liquid into n

the end of a steel wire to which light

burns explosively, like a fuse, with O
brilliant effusion of sparks, SO that the
chilly crystal around 1t glOws like a
lamp. On inspecting the cup after this
display Of fireworks is ended, you will
find that the sizzling metal has covered
the bottom with beads and pellets OF
