A distinguished naturalist recently
gave dinner to number of learned
men. AT the conclusion of the repast
the company went out into the garden.
in the center of which stood large
glass globe, on pedestal. Happening
TO touch this globe one of the guests
discovered, to his ama2ement, that II
was much warmer on the shady side
than on the side facing the sun, He
Immediately communicated his discov-
cry to his friends,
A warm argument sprang up, and in
the course of the debate the phenome-
non was attributed to the law of re-
Election or repulsion or something
equally formidable.
The host, however, had his suspicion
as to the correctness Of these theories
and sent for his gardener. When he
put in an appearance, the gentleman
said:
John, can you tell us why this globe
is warmer on the shady than on the
sunny slider
We'll" replied the man, slowly, the
fact is, just turned II ROUND, for was
afraid that the heat would crack it"
