LESSON IN PHYSICS.
why Heating Frames and Hothouses
Remain Hot on the Inside
for a Long Time.

1T is very curious" said the old pro-
lessor ofphysics, ito see how many mar
ket gardeners there are to raise things
under glass, make money out of the pro-
cess, and yet do not know why their
heating frames and their hothouses re-
main hot inside. Now, as a matter or
fact, the heat mechanism Of a dollhouse
depends on well-known proposition OF
physics. | suppose you are acquainted
with the fact that the energy from thu
sun travels in the form of little waves
The energy doesn't come down to us In
straight lines; it comes, as it were, in a
ziszag manner, dancing from side to
side as it comes along. If these waves
are very short, light is the result; If
they are trifle longer, they take the
form of heat. If the light waves strike
anything on the way down they are very
apt to be turned into heat. Now. the
waves which form light are so short
that they will readily pass through
glass, but the waves which form heat
are so long that they will not pass
through. From this, therefore, you
may see why a dollhouse remains hot.
The energy from the sun passes into
the house through the glass roof in the
form of light. Then it strikes the OBJ
jects in the house and is turned to
heat. But this heat cannot pass out
through the glass. The heat waves are
100 long. So the light keeps coming in.
and the heat keeps accommodating. and
soon the dollhouse becomes very warm

POSSIBILITIES OF RADIUM.
Many Material Problems May BE
Solved Through the Newly
Discovered Substance

1t will be seen at once that the ma
terial possibilities of radium arc
enormous. Among many suggestions
as to the outcome, are: the TRANSMIT
tation OF metals (the making of gold
no less); solving the problem of light
without heat; the perfection of wire
less communications; the cure of GER
tain phases of blindness; new sources
OF heat, and, since 1t would now seem
that there is, after all, hut one sub
stance in the world (which appears to
our untutored sense to assume various
forms merely because each form con-
tains special number Of particles to
the atom, chemistry may undergo
such rejuvenation as will result in
the most unheard-of discoveries. says
an article on "Radium and Human
Life" in Everybody's Magazine
Already an hypothesis has been
worked out to the effect that the
emanations from radium and kindred
substances are on par with the rays
which go to make up the aurora bor-
calls. 1t is, in fact, thought quite pos
sible that the aurora is merely cathode
or Roentgen rays on gigantic scale,
and the phenomenon of Roentgen rays
is analogous to that of radium rays.
Out of this has come the suggestion
that we may soon be able to predict
weather changes with greater accu-
racy than heretofore. The bearing of
the discovery on astronomical specu-
lation, also, is important.

THE FARM wooDLoT.
II Has Been Neglected Altogether Too
Long md a New Leaf should
Be Turned Over

think 1t may safely be said that .he
farmers woodlot or bush receives less
care and attention than any other part
OF the farm at all. The attention it gen.
orally receives is the destructive blows
OF the axe in winter, and the no less
harmful browsing of stock In summer
Under this treatment the wood is con-
stantly decreasing in quantity and
value, and the land lies as an unproft-
able, stumpy waste, which is neither
wood nor pasture, or Is turned into
cultivation, for which, being generally
poor land, 1t is little fitted Doubtless
this unproductiveness of the woodlot is
due to the fact that farmers generally
do not consider the bush capable of any
systematic management or regular crop
ping. or at all capable of repaying any
labor expended upon it.. AS farmers we
are apt to consider bush land as some
thing to be cleaned up, and not to be
perpetuated, or as a gift of nature for
our own special benefit and one that
cannot be renewed. The time it takes
Tor Seeding tree to become of market
able value Is not so long as is usually
supposed. OF course, il we had to begin
on bare field to raise timber 1t would
be somewhat different matter. But in
the ordinary woodlot we find trees OF
10. 20. 30, so or even 20 or 100 years of
growth. Nature, If left to herself, will
gradually change scanty coppice into
forest OF value, but at best her methods
in forestry are slow and somewhat ir-
regular. However, by careful thought
and practical management nature may
be so assisted that the woodlot may be
made to supply not only all present needs
for fuel, but to give regular crops Of
merchantable timber, and to be year
after year increasing in permanent value.

THRIVE ON PETROLEUM.
Jersey Mosquitoes Are Growing Fat
ON the Liquid That Was to
Exterminate Them.

People living on the meadow of Jer-
sey and Long Island have been marveling
this year over the tremendous size and
the sickness and well fed appearance
of the mosquitoes The secret may now
be said to be out It's the oil. The NOS
quitoes have grown to like the old. They
are waxing sinewy sleek and songful
ON the oil that the scientists have, at
great expense, been flooding the mos
quito infested ponds with since the be-
ginning of spring.
Mr. William c. Whitney has spent
something like $4,000 in oiling up the
ponds down his way on Long island,
with the result that the Westbury mos
quitoes this year look like humming
birds, and are as sanguinary and con-
fident as bolo hurting Moros Old time
residents down on the mosquito breed
ing Jersey marsh lands and rivers de-
clare that the mosquitoes are such an
adaptable lot that they've already dis
covered a method of distilling the poi
sonous elements from the oil and reject
ing them leaving only the wholesome,
fattening elements wherewith to regale
themselves and take on flesh. They go
farther than this, these mosquito wise
Jerseyites, and declare that some of the
oil fed mosquitoes pump the poisonous
ingredients that they have collected
from the oil, in addition to their own in
lection venom, into the persons of their
human victims. All of which is more or
less cheerful.
Literally hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been wasted in New Jersey
and on Long island in these efforts to
"exterminate" the mosquitoes by the
use of petroleum. The huge, oil fed mos
quitoes are even invading Manhattan
island this year as they never did before.
It requires only good, stiff breeze from
the Jersey side, to watt billions of them
over the Hudson to New York, and peO-
pie living within half mile of the Hud-
son water front in New York, especially
up Riverside driveway, where the North
river is comparatively narrow, are in
vesting in mosquito screens this year as
they never did before. 1t looks as if the
mosquito exterminating enthusiasts will
