HOW SALT CoOLS COFFEE.
A Little Experiment Worth the Try
ing Out of Mere Curiosity.

From the New York Mail and Express.
Between bites Of the simple breakfast he
had ordered the young clerk gaZed nerv-
ously at the restaurant clock. 1t was plain
he had oversight himself, and was paving
the way to future indigestion by boiling
his food. The coffee was the stumbling
block. 1t was hot, very hot, but the clerk
needed 1t badly, and he slipped it carefully
having due regard for his mouth and
tongue. But time pressed, and, with a
parting glance at the clock, he reached
for his glass of ice water and prepared to
pour some of the frgid fluid into his cup
Don't spoil your coffee, young man.
said an elderly gentleman who was eating
his breakfast on the other side of the table
You take all the good out of 1t by putting
Ice or ice water in it,
The clerk was at first inclined to resent
the interference, but the patriarchaI ap-
pearance of the other man tempered his
resentment.
what am I to do?' ne asked. IT am
late for the office. and I want this coffee
badly"
LET me show you a little scheme said
the elderly man. Taking the cylindrical
salt cellar from the table, he wiped it
carefully with napkin, then reaching over
deposited the glass vessel in the cup Of
coffee.
Salt, you know, has peculiar cooling
properties he said, meanwhile holding
the receptacle firmly in position. ''They
put it with Ice to intensity the cold when
making ice cream. 1t is used extensively
in cold storage warehouses for cooling pur-
poses, and being incased in glass does not
affect its power to any great extent"
AS he spoke he withdrew the salt cellar
from the coffee and motioned to the young
er man to drink. He raised the cup to his
lips. and to his surprise found the liquid
cooled to such extent that he could
drink it without inconvenience.
1.-The uses of salt are manifold" said the
elderly man with the air of one beginning
a lecture. II remember once when 1 was
in Mexico"
But the clerk, with another glance at the
clock, thanked him profusely and dashed
out Of the restaurant
