The Coldest Known Liquid.

From Cassiers Magazine.
 Liquid hydrogen is by far the coldest liquid known at the present time. At or dinary atmospheric pressure 1t boils at 422 degrees Fahrenheit, and reduction of the pressure by an air pump brings the temperature down to -432 degrees, at which the liquid becomes a solid, resem- bling frozen foam. According to Profess sor Dewar. to whom the credit is due of having liquified hydrogen in 1898. the liquid is colorless, transparent body, and Is the lightest liquid known to exist, its density being only one- fourteenth that of water ;the lightest liquid previously known was liquid marsh gas. which is six times heavier. The only solid which has so small density as to float upon its surface is a piece of pith wood.

 Who would have supposed during the Reign of Terror that day would come when the guillotlne would be used for a laudable purpose? Yet this has just hap pened in Sweden, for guillotine has been erected in the market place at Gothen- burg, where it is used daily for the pur- pose of decapitating chickens, ducks and other domestic animals. The local So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is responsible for this novel step, Animals, it claims. may legitimately be used as food, but there is no reason why they should suffer while dying, and the surest way to avoid such suffering is to death.
