The Liquids Boiling.

FIRST che is how to make two cold
liquids boiling hot by mixing them.
This requires only n small vial. some
sulphurie acid and n little water. All
you have to do ID to mix two parts OF
aulphuric acid with one OF tho water.
Put the acid IN the vial f!rht and then.
when you have added tho water. stir
the mixture together with n glass rod
and tho liquids will become hot In
s;antiy. and soon. II you have ,hcr.
momctcr. take the temperature and
you will find that u Ia above boiling
point.
No end OF curious results may be oh.
taincd by simply mixing liquids to-
so,hcr. provided you have the fish,
liquids. For instance. II you mix cor.
tain liquids they will form an airnos,
solid mass. What could be NOR. won
dcrfui than this. and yet there are
few things simpler. Put a few tea.
spoonfuls OF a concentrated solution
of nil!caic and potash into a ~incsiass.
and add to II ,ary gradually Eriphuric
acid. IL IL better Ia add the sulphur.
lc acid drop by drop. So~ stir tho
mixture together and In a very few
moments they will become converted
into an opaque white mass which Will
be nearly a solid.
Have you ever seen glass blowers
at work. II you haven't. you have
missed n very interesting sight. but
it will not prevent your being able
TO do this little experiment. and be,
sides. Il may give you some slight idea
of the glass blowers work. The es.
pertinent IL TO unite glass tubes. To
do this you need simply two glass
tubes of any sisc and Kind you prefer.
Heat the two ends which you want 10
join together over the iasne of a lamp.
Gas will do. of course. but the lamp
fame Is better. When they are sun.
cicntiy softNred by the heat bring the
two ends t6gcthcr. aud. having held
them that way for a moment. twist
them in opposite directions with a
scrcwtnE motion In order that they
may be securely jointed. There will
now be a thickcncd ring OF glass at
the place where the two tubes are
Joined. This rather spoils the looks
of the tubes. but with a very little
more trouble II can be removed. One
end of the tube must be sealed up with
wax. or in any other way you desire.
Now soften the entire tube over the
lamp and then blow into the open end
of the tube. pulling gently at the tube
at the same time until the ring On.
tireiy disappears and the whole tube
is equally cylindrical. The sealed end
of the tube may now be unseaicd or
left just as you please. but 1t can he
used in more experiments II 1t is open
at both ends than II only one end Is
free.

II all solid substances might not DC
liquifed-that is. turned into liquid
form-if they were heated enough. Al
any rate. they did wonder about II,
and from time to time they have tried
first one substance and then another.
until now they know that large mum.
ber OF elements which In the natural
state are In the form of solids may
be liquified. provided sufficient heat
can be had. but In some cases the
heat needed is very great. much great
er than can be made in an ordinary
frc.
In the same way. II the heat can be
still further increased. the liquid will
turn to gas.
II must be understood that besides
the extraordinary amount OF heat gen
orally needed for this sort OF work
there are certain other conditions that
must be observed. For instance. Il Is
generally necessary to do the heating
in such way that all air Is kept away
from the substance or else the oxygen
| Of the air would combine with II and
form a new compound.
This In one OF the reasons that II is
SO dinieult to perform such an expert
mcnt. Even In the case OF lead. as you
may have noticed. when II was melted
there came over the surface n hnc
| scum which was not lead. but com
binatlon of oxygen and lead.

seven turkeys at one shot. II Is
claimed that McDufiie has killed i.5OO
wild turkeys and 700 deer in his time.
besides countless numbers Of smaller
game. The way he makes his war on
turkeys is by batting" He finds
where a flock of turkeys use and hs
laws a train OF corn to a locality where
he can arrange good blind. The
blind is made and corn is put ont in
good quantity for the turkeys not far
away. he being careful to place tho
corn in such shape that when the tur.

Turning a solid Into a LIQUID.

We know that lead, when heated.
will turn from a solid into liquid
form. In the same way. If the melted
lead is allowed to get cold enough 1t
will turn back again into a solid.
II is interesting to know that what
happens to water when it grows cold
enough to turn % ice is precisely the
same thing as this turning of the lead
from liquid to solid. In the case of the
ice we call IL freezing, but the change
is the same in both cases and caused
by the same conditions.
