BLOWING OUT A CANDLE.
The Effect a PuT of Breath Has or
the Flame

q Oh breAth Has on
the Flame.
y burning candle is n gas manufac-
tory on a small scale The wax or
tallow is converted by the heat of the
flame into gas, and in that form en-
tiers into chemical combination with
the oxygen of the surrounding air
This chemical union causes a very
high rise in temperature in the ele-
ments concerned. In fact, II produces
what we know as fame of fire, which
Is simply the white hot molecules Of
carbon and oxygen. The gas making
process IS started 10y the match in
lighting the candle and is afterward
continued by the fame itself
Our breath acts in three way: % 1t
carries away the particles Of gas bodi-
~. (2) 1t lowers their temperature at
the same time, so that they are no
longer capable of entering into chem
ical union with the oxygen CD The
breath contains carbonic acid gas.

The Beautiful.

Beauty prevails in spite OF all we
do. We may build ugly buildings, we
may think ugly thoughts, we may
wrinkle ourselves in worries or the
contemplation of ugliness, we may
even worship ugliness under the name
OF utility, but lightly, without an eff
fort, the gentle hand OF beauty de-
sends upon all. Beauty may do her
subtle work in many ways. Sun, moon,
fog and rain are alike her servants.

NEW CURE FOR LOCKJAW.
Midway Men Invent Eiectronometer
which They Hope VIII be OF Great
Use In Nervous Diseases.

Capillary electronometer is the
name of new instrument delicate
enough to register the minute dis
charges of electricity in nerves and
muscles. The invention will greatly
aid the cure of lockjaw, they hope,
and be of great use in nervous dis
eases. II is a device conceived by the
research workers in the physiological
laboratory at the University of Chi
cago, its inventors being c. c. Guth-
rie, f. p. Lyon and F. II. Rieske.
fine glass tube with hole in it
no larger than capillary gland on
the back of a human hand is the
mechanism of the instrument. The
tube at one end contains mercury.
which penetrates the small extremity
of the tube. The tube rests in IA cup
of acid, and the two are joined by
platinum wire.
All life action is chemical and cleo
trical, the inventors believing. and by
the action of the electrical discharge
from a moving muscle on the mer-
curry in the tube the amount of ener-
gy expended may be gagged.
