Ruin in Crossed Legs.
Philadelphia Record.

"Uncross your legs" said doctor,
"Oh, nol' said his son. Whats the
use Of being so polite all the timer"
"My boy" the father answered, "it is
not on account OF mere rule OF etiquette
that tell you to uncross your legs; but
it is because leg-crossing is an injurious
thing-a thing as baleful TO the health
as kissing or as microbes.
"When you cross your legs you fit the
knee.cap OF the lower limb into the
cavity under the knee Of the upper one.
In the cavity that you thus compress
there are tile two important exterior
and interior popliteal nerves, and a
number Of glands and blood vessels.
Compression does not act well on these
organs. 1t benumbs them and weakens
and emaciates them. You feel the IN
Jury in a numbness OF the whole leg
the leg goes to sleep.
keep on with the habit, and your
legs weaken. They become-thin. They
lose their shapeliness. 1t is only such
men and women and children as never
cross their legs who have strong and
supple and beautiful limbs.

Rev. Irl r.. Hicks 1908 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work OF
science and art is finer and better than
ever, is stating it mildly. The demand
for it is far beyond all previous years.
To say that such results, reaching through
thirty years, are not based upon sound
sense and usefulness, is an insult ts the
intelligence of the millions. Professor
Hicks, through his great almanac, and
his famous family and scientific journal,
Word and Works, is doing work for
the whole people not approached by any
other man or publication. A fair test
will prove this to any reasonable person.
Added to the most luminous course in
astronomy for 1908, forecasts OF storms
and weather are given, as never before,
for every dayin the year, all charmingly
illustrated with nearly two hundred en-
cravings. The price of single almanac,
including postage and mailing is thirty
cents, Word and Works with the al.
manac, is 81 year. Write to Word
and Works Publishing company, 22Ol,
Locust street, Saint Louis, Missouri
and prove to yourself their great value.

mersed in liquid at temperature Sl2


degrees below zero.
A piece of excelsior was immersed,
and when removed from the cup con-
tanning the liquid it was brittle and
was crumbed into pieces by the DEM
onstrator. If there was sufficient of the
liquid, piece of cordwood could be
placed in it, and after few moments
taken out and broken into pieces ac-
cording to what size one desired.
An experiment was made with rub
Der ball. Rubber is considered imper-
vious to cold, yet this ball in few
moments became as brittle as glass, but
exposure to the atmosphere returned
it TO its normal condition. The same
kind of experiments was made with
pieces of meat and with handkerchiefs.
A solution of the crematory question
that has been troubling city father
for some time was offered by the dem
onstrator. He immersed different fab
rics in the LIQUID aud then touched
them to flame. They Immediately
vanished, leaving neither ashes nor
odor. Mr.. Patty said that within a
short time, or as soon as li]uefied air
becomes sufficiently cheap, cities
throughout the country will use this
in their crematories. 1t will immedi'
ately consume anything, and moreover
there will be no odor or ashes.
In order to demonstrate the lowness
of its temperature alcohol aud mercury
were intermingled with it. In each
instance the alcohol and mercury be-
came frozen.
Its great heat was also shown by
dipping two pens in it and then apply
ing them to fame They were
straightway welded firmly together.
Other experiments were placing o
kettle of the liquid on cake of ice,
when steam issued freely from thu
spout. Then the kettle was place.
over fire and ice was formed therein
while actually over the flame.
Its great explosive power was ais
shown, demonstrating it to be create
| than DYNAMITE.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The behavior of rarified gases under
electric discharges led Sir William
crooks, in 1879, to bring forward the the
DRY OF radiant natter or matter in a
fourth or ultra gaseous state, and he be-
lieved he had touched the borderland
where matter and force seem to merge
into one another At the royal society
meeting the other day he spoke of the
radiant matter" as the present 'elec-
irons" of Dr. tombstone Stoney. The
electron Is the separate unit or atom Of
electricity, still presumably the original
atom of the universe, and the probable
oasis of all chemical atoms, and the lat,
Ter theory makes clear much that was
mysterious before. chemical ion CON
sists of a material nucleus or atom Of
matter, which forms much the larger
part, and a few electrons or atoms of
electricity. Elections liberated at the
negative pole in vacuum discharge have
properties more like those of a fog or
mist than those of a gas, and the light
ing up of parts of the Crooks tube is ex-
planned by the tendency of the atoms of
rareified matter to form groups, which
are made visible by the rushing swarm
of electrons from the negative pole. An
electron is calculated by ). j. Thomson
TO be about 7-100 as large as the hydrogen
atom. On the two-fuid theory, the cleo
irons constitute free negative electricity.
and the rest of the chemical atom is
charged positively, although a free posi-
tive electron is not known. FrankIin'3
original one-fluid theory Is simpler, the
electron being the atom or unit Then a
so-called negatively charged chemical
atom is one having a surplus of cleo
