Jonathan to John Ruu-

Written for The Evening Star by Zenas C. Robl,
From kindred in the British Isles
We have been long estranged.
But now our hearts are free from gall
And both have greatly changed.
And none too soon this change has come.
If We would hold our own
AS champions OF human rights
In all our sphere and zone.
In both our lands the people rule
BY right divine in man.
And, as we're friends with ample powrf.
Some wrongs wen surely ban.
The sick man Of the orient
Shall please himself no more
by Kurdish raids and massacres
Of Christians of yore.
For recent acts of Moslem hate
He must make full amends
In strict accord with right and law,
Whoeer may he his friends.
We all will sing God save the Oueen:'s
Shes always beer our friend.
Albert and Vic, in sad days,
Did kindly message send
Where others flag shaft wave aloft.
Triumphant on tle gale,
The tyrant's law that fnlght makes r;rbt,,
Shall hevermore preyan.
Home rule. with iust and equal laws.
Shall give to all taeir due,
And widely spread eartt's choicest gifts,
Now earnerrd byI the few.

In all such work we must be friends,
And must stand by each other:

BOILING AWAY A DIME.
The silver Piece Was Cooked Until
Ii Entirely Dirnppeared In
NRpor.

Prof. NJ. |. Pupin, of Columbia col
lege, boiled ten-cent piece the other
day and watched il dissolve and pass
away in the form OF vapor. just as any
one might do with a pot of water.
While he was doing il he declared that
any substance on earth might be boiled
and made to become vapor. if you only
had heat enough to do it, He did not
except granite rock. He also said that
any liquid or gas might be frozen solid
If only you could surround it with
sufficient cold. He illustrated this by
freezing some mercury into lump as
hard as iron. He did these things to
prove that the physical condition of
every substance on earth is merely the
result of temperature.
First he boiled his dime He cut il IN
into small pieces. which he placed in
the hollow carbon of an electric arc
lamp. Anyone who has examined the
discarded carbons of an are lamp will
have noticed that one of these carbons
* always pointed. while the other car
bon has small cup-like hole in the end.
When the lamp il lighted the carbons
stand one above the other the sharp
point of one carbon fitting into the
cup of the other. II was in this little
cup that Prof. Pupin boiled his dime.
Probably it was the smallest pot and
the hottest fire in the world. He placed
the pieces of the dime in the hollow
end of one carbon and fixed the other
pointed carbon down against them
Then he turned on the elect rio current.

NO. you are talking TO Jim Smith"

was case of mistaken indemnity. The

he spoke he would say MIR. Smith"
But he did not. for the resemblance was
So great tha, he continued TO call Jim

Another case was OF young girl
who promised TO meet her cousin in one
of the large stores and eat luncheon
with him, She got there five minutes
too soon and supposed she would have

crowd. she thought she saw him coming

and when he WINS opposite her she
