GLASS HOUSES HOLD HEAT.
Energy from Sun Passes Through
Glass I'm Waves Of Light, Be
comes Heat and Cannot Escape.

1t is very curious, said the old pro-
fessor of physics, to see how many
market gardeners there are who raise
| things under glass, make money out
! of the process and yet do not know
| why their heating frames and their hot
houses remain hot inside.
Now, as a matter of fact, the heat
mechanism of dollhouse depends on q
well-known proposition in physics. I
suppose you are acquainted with the
fact that the energy from the sun
travels in the form of little waves.
| The energy does not come down to US
in straight lines; it comes, as it were,
in a zigzag manner, dancing from size
to side as it comes along. If these waves
are very short, light is the result; if
they are trif1e longer. they take the
form of heat.
If the light waves strike anything
on the way down, they are very apt to
be turned into heat. Now, the waves
which form light are so short that they
will readily pass through glass. but the
waves which form heat are so long that
they will not pass through.
From this, therefore, you may see
why a dollhouse remains hot. The
energy from the sun passes into the
house through the glass roof in the
form of light. Then it strikes the OBJ
jects in the house and is turned to heat.
But this heat cannot pass out through
the glass. The heat waves are too long.
So the light keeps coming in and the
heat keeps accommodating, and. soon the
hothouses become very warm indeed.
even on the coolest days in winter.
Of course our dwelling houses are
heated by the sun in the same way.
The light comes in through the Win
dows, but the heat cannot pass out

Children,s Hands and Feet.

Be particular to dry the hands and
feet of a child we'll. Dampness left be-
tween the toes may cause soreness or
even a corn, which may be troublesome
to get rid of. In washing the hands do
not leave any dirt between the fingers;
press the skin back from the nails and
slightly pinch the tips of the fingers
after every washing if you want your
children to have pretty hands and nails.
A little trouble taken at the first will
save a great deal of bother afterwards.
The children should be taught, when
old enough, to do this for themselves.
They should be taught to take pride in
nice1y-kept hands.

a single gang plank to the steamers
deck, he there even in defeat gave evil
.dence of that bulldog tenacity which
was yet to stand him in good stead
ON more successful scenes. Signally
failing in his next essay, at Fort Henry,
on February 6, to throw his investing
troops in overwhelming numbers
around the garrison, in cooperation
with the attack by Foote's hotilla, his
soldiers, by inexcusable miscalcnla-
ton, were four miles distant when the
engagement opened. They did not
reach the fort until it had been knocked
to pieces and surrendered to Foote
after terrific cannonading of one hour
and fifteen minutes. The garrison of
2,61O men were, by this. blunder, per-
mitted to escape and march without
hindrance so Fort Donelson, with a
loss in sick, wounded and captured Of

miles away on board a steamer of the
Cumberland f1otilla when his army was
being knocked to pieces by the desper-
ate onslaught of Pillow, johnson, Buck
ner and Forrest, arriving in the very
crisis of defeat, when, as one of his
lieutenants says, crowds of men in
blue, with anxious faces and empty
cartridge-boxes, were running to the
rear, and the cry: We are cut to
pieces!' was sweeping down the lines,
when panic was in the air"-just at
this moment a halt was called along
the southern Lines, and the troops thus
far victorious were. ordered back into
the trenches, from which few hours
earlier they had sailed and fought with
s unequaled valor and persistence for
this opening of escape. Had this army
marched out then and there, as it
might have done, or had it later in the
night escaped, as we now know and
shall prove it could have done, Shiloh

and matchless mausoleum now lift its

and moaning in the air. Springs over
flowed and the water in wells circled
around as in whirlpools. The widest
species of birds left the woods and
thickets and came flying about the.
houses, and rabbits deserted their bur-
rows and sought the companionship of
domestic animals. The thunderstorms
of score of years combined could not
have rent the heavens nor disturbed the
solid earth as that cannonade did.

asperating the ending was something
to be remembered for its grandeur.

through air and earth and water a dis
tanee of so miles. They now seemed
to return to the guns. The rent and
riven skies had kept up a constant
moaning and complaining. These
sounds gradually died away, as a man
in pain finally drops of to sleep. The
earth resumed its solidity again, the
sun shone forth in its own familiar way,
and the bank of clouds piled up in the
west. and tinged with gold all along
their lower edges, seemed proof to the
eye that the world stood still-stood as
we had lived in it the day before those
monsters awoke and demanded human
blood and wreck and destruction as
the price of that silence-Detroit Free

We in the east do not realize the ex-

two. All the rest are native MeXicans.

WELL-DRESSED WOMEN.
They Differ from Those Whose Ap
pareI Is Unattractive in Tell
Tale Trihes Only.

Every normally constituted woman
desires, rightly enough, to appear pleas
ing to those with whom she comes into
association. This feeling, in its proper
expression, is not vanity; it is COM
mendable and eminently right, for it is
one of the forces which go to make liv-
ing more pleasant thing. 1t is only
when this natural and worthy ambi-
ton subordinates other and more i'm
portant aims that it becomes offensive
and dangerous. The elements of femi-
nine attraction are many. includin g
those of nature and those derived from
woman's own art. Among the latter,
one of the most important is the art of
dressing well, and that art consists not
so much in richness of attire as in con-
siderate attention to details. So good
an authority as Harper's Bazaar, touch
ing UPON the topic. says: ''The main
respect in which the well-dressed WON
an differs from her whose apparel is un-
attractive is in the trifes which make
a costume elegant. The pretty shoe, the
handsome stocking, the well fitting
glove and the becoming veil add finish
that makes a woman what is known as
well dressed. No one can afford to neg
lect these little things. The well-laun-
dered collar and cuffs and the correct
tie attract the attention of the average
observer much sooner than do the eie-
gance of the material of a gown and
the style in which it is made. If a cos
tune fits well it depends on the wearer
to make it stylish. In this day of vast
variety and beauty in neckwear a cos
tune may be made as elaborate or as Sc
we're as the owner wishes"
