The space above the mercury in a
thernoiaeter Is not perfect vacuum.
There is not infrequently small por-
ton Of air left in such space and there
is always TN atmosphere of the vapor
of mercury Physically speaking. it is
perhaps impossible TO procure a vac
uum. II il most likely that even if a
real vacuum could be procured FOR an
instant mir or other vapor would at
once begin 10 be disseminated from the
sides Of fhe vessel i'm which it was
made, ana il wolld thus instantly cease
to exist.
1t is true that DeXartes denied the
very possibility of vacuum and says,
IF vacuum could be effected in a
vessel the sides would be pressed into
contact" but it is hardly correct to
say, "Scicntists say that vacuum can
not exist" What scientists do say is
what Galilci said, Nature abhors a
vacuum" As the statement Of n fact
is true. Nature does, to the best of our
knowledge, abhor Il vacuum. She never
suffers it TO exist to the extent of al
lowing any space which is perceptiblc
TO our senses to be vacuous. Vacuum.
in scientific speech, simply means a
space from which air has been expelled.

4 Dance Without u Smile.

They have singular kind of dance
conducted on the greens of country vii
lagos in Russia. The dancers stand
apart, Il knot of young men here, a
knot Of maidens there. each sex by it,

pulls off his cap and challenges his
girl with Il wave and bow. If the
girl is willing she waves her handker-
chief in token of assent. The youth
advances, takes corner of the hand

sic round and round.
No word is spoken, and no laugh is
heard. Stiff with cords and rich with
braids tie girl moves heavily by her.

allowing her partner TO touch her hand.
The pipe goes drOning on for hours in
the same sad key and measure and the
prize of merit in this 'circling," as the
dance is called, is given by spectators
to the lasSc who in all that summer
revelry has never spoken and never
smiled.

will meet at the Baptist church at $3.50
Sunday afternoon. All are cordially
invited to attend these readings. They
are for the purpose Of studying Gods
word and to learn where we stand in
prophecy. The Adventist Christians
have been accused of setting the time
of our Saviour's second advent. Those
who make such accusations have not
investigated. the Advent Christian
faith. We are striving to follow
Paul's instruction. Heb 1925, and as
we sec the day approaching for the
Bible and history go hand in hand)
we take great comfort in the PROMISE
Luke 22::2S. We feel like Noah must
have felt. There are so many who do
not realize that the sixth SEAL has
opened and that God speaks to his
Church of today in Rev. 3:14-22. Our
Bible reading is open to all and we
will be pleased to have you come.

studios That Are workrooms.

All "f the artists studios in New
York have not the magnificent interiors
that romance suggests. On the con-
trary, Il great many of the most eff
fcctivc pictures are turned out from
rooms that arc absolutely destitute Of
furniture. except for the working tools
of the artist himself. Costly draperies,
beautiful objects Of art, often take the
attention Of the painter from his work,
and there arc quite Il number of the
most successful artists in the city
whose studios are bare and comfortless
as far rs decorations are concerned.
They are regarded by the painter as
workrOOms pure and simple, and as-
thcticism is confined to the imagination

In Japan to get up parties to behold
the freshly fallen snow or the cherry
blossoms or the maple trees in their
autumnal glory or to go to the flower
shows is as dc rigueur as are our din

Mushroom hunting is a fashionable
pastime, while in the house harp play
ing, verse writing, embroidering and
tea drinking are the most absorbing
occupations. The most pretentious en-
tertainment is the tea ceremony. 1t is
