Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1902-08-15

The Young Mems Republican club
of Brattleboro will not banquet with
President Roosevelt. This fact was an
nounced last week after the president
of the club had consulted with the
Vermont delegation and found that
there We're other places in the state
which desired a moment or two of the
presidents time 1t must be serious
disappointment to the club after all
its preliminary preparations to find
that President Roosevelt is scheduled
to be here only about one hour, but it
is some consolation to think that if
there are no delays the president will
have time to shake hands with nearly
all of the committees which have been
appointed in his honor 1t is to be
hoped, however, that nothing will pre-
vent the president from enjoying the
horseback ride which he wishes to
take somewhere along the route and
which it is hoped will be taken in
Brattleboro. The only obstacle seems
to be the lack of proper mount. If
the reports of President Roosevelt's
equestrian ability are correct more
than an ordinary horse will be needed
to satisfy requirements as well as some
of the best riders to act as an escort.
Perhaps DR.. Webb might send down
few of his half bred hackneys which
were exhibited at the Valley Fair last
year.

Moreover though there are many hand

sea, who have been in the United States
but few years. and who look forward to
wedding the girl they left behind them at
some future date. They do not readily mix
with foreign blood. though they have adopt

a few OF the hillites have wives Of German

Some Interesting Facts About
Boiling Water. p

1t may seem presumptuOus to sug-
gest that few people know how to boil
water, but such is the case, The boil
ing point, under ordinary atmospheric
pressure (sea level, is 2l2 degrees Fl-
hrenheit; this point changes according
TO the altitude. When bubbles form
on the DO tom Of the kettle, Come
clear to the surface and rupture quiet
", without making an ebullition, we
have simmeriDg. AT this point the
thermometer should register $50 de
grees Fahrenheit, and it is at this
temperture that we cook meats and
make soups. When the bubbles be-
gin to form IN the sides and surface Of
the vessel and come toward the top Of
the water. there is motion in the wa.
ter, but it has not really ached the
boiling point. 1t is only when the
thermometer reaches PIP degrees Fa-
henheit and the water is in rapid mo-
tOn that IL can be said TO boil: and
the atmospheric gases still continue
To be given off with the steam for con-
siderable time after the water has
commenced to boil rapidly; in fact, it
Is difficult to determine when the last
traces have been expelled, 1t is safe
to suppose, however, that ten minutes
boiling will free the water from it's
gases, make it tasteless, and render it
unfit for making tea, coffee or other
light infusions of delicate material
