How to Boil Money.
A we'll known chemical expert re-
Gently boiled a sixpence and watched
It dissolve and pass away in the form
OF vapor, just as any one might do with
q pot OF water. While he was doing
it he declared that any substance on
earth might be boiled and made to be-
come vapor, II only you had heat great
enough to do it, not excepting granite
rock. In boiling the s%ixpence, says
Pealson's Weekly, 1t was cut up into
small pieces, which were placed in the
hollow carbon of an electric arc lamp
ANY one who has examined the dis
carded carbons Of an arc lamp Will
have noticed that one Of the carbons
Is always pointed, while the other
carbon has q small cuplike hole in the
end. When the lamp is Lighted the
carbons stand one above the other, the
sharp point OF n carbon fitted into
the "cup" OF the other. 1t was in this
little cup that the sixpence was boiled
Probably it was the smallest pot and
the hottest fre in che world. He
placed the pieces Of the coin IN the
hollow end Of the ono carbon and
dxed the other pointed carbon down
against them. Then he turned on the
electric current. He had arranged his
apparatus in front Of g magic lantern
30 that the whole thing could be seer
on q large white screen. The carbons
the coin, and in fact, everything could
| be viewed plainly. OF curse the cleo
trio current passing between the car
bons made them very hot, and the CUP
| soon became filled with a white heat
II was wonderful to sec how quickly
tho silver melted and simmersd, and
finally boiled.

In another column appears notice
ola Road Builders Institute to be
held in Charlotte, N. c., on July II and
continue 10 days or two weeks. Every
reader of The News should read this
notice, think about and decide what
should be done to have this city and
county represented at the Institution.
This city should send its engineer or
such other officer as may have charge
of improving the streets. The county
should send its supervisor and repre-
sentative from every township-the
man who has charge of roads and who
is responsible for road improvements.
Only those should go who go to learn,
something. This is not q junketing,
free and easy outing, but a school Tor

in the city and country. If we learn
nothing from last winters experience

is better than 16 of the kind we now
have. Not more roads but betterroads.

of the smartcst literary men dethrOned

Only recently there applied to me FOR

know it is said when one brings up
such an instance as this: go, well. that
man drank to excess. One glass will
not hurt anyone" How do these peo-
Dle know that twill not?' One drop OF
kerosene has been known to throw into
flame an almost hopeless fire, and one
glass of liquor may fan into flame Il
smoldering spark hidden away where
we never thought it existed. The
shark may be there. and it may not be.
WHY take the risk? Liquor will never
do a healthy boy or young man the
least particle OF good; it may, do him
harm. a man who will Willingly tempt

made up my mind that there was some o. =
reason for this. If liquor brought safe
pleasures, why did these men abstain

men, directing the largest business
interests in this country, resort to it I:
And when [ saw that these were the
