Can You See AirY

If air cannot be seen, what is it that
we see quivering above field on hot
summer day or even above hot stove
in the house? That question has puz-
zled many n head, both old and young.
The answer usually given is that it is
the heat. but heat cannot be seen. and
therefore it is not the heat.
The explanation Of the phenomenon
Is really quite simple, like all such
things, when we hear it. AS matter
Of fact, it is air that we see quivering,
but heat makes it visible. The CULVER
ing is caused by the upward passage,
close by each other, of small currents
Of air of different temperatures in
which the rays Of light are iregularly
refracted, and this makes the currents
visible

Father and Son.

What father can do, if he will, is to
make his own experience and knowl-
edge an inseparable part of the intel
lectual and spiritual equipment of his
son, but he can do this only when he
cares so much about 1t as to make 1t a
daily. hourly object Of his life, says the
Cosmopolitan. So many fathers shirk
the undertaking.; so many of them
stand aloof and let the precious years
go by, willing to give anything and
everything except themselves. The
first and great reward of course is the
one that comes when he sees the boy
upon the verge of manhood going out
into the world to face the inevitable
dangers which confront the novice, for
the life of man differs from the life
of n woman In this respect-that at
some time or other sooner or later, the
time must come when he shall stand
alone, relying on his own strength to
conquer If he be sound and brave, to
fall If he be weak and cownrdly.

Some days later Dorothy told me
