A sehoolbox,. plnoov.rx.

That nature is still full Of simple
facts of scientific Importance yet
awaiting notice by open eyes and
minds is shown by the recent
achievement Of a Dutch schoolboy
named Van Erpecum, who during a
lesson in physics given in the high
school at Batavia called DR.. Van
Deventer's attention to the fact that
the water in a glass filed to the
brim with water and floating ice
does not flow over as the ice melts.
In fact, no change Of level whatever
occurs. DR.. Van Deventer commu-
nioated this observation to Profess
ors Van der Waals and Zeeman,
who thought it of sufficient impor-
tance TO be placed before the Royal
academy Of Amsterdam. 1t is pro
posed to call the phenomenon the
claw Of the permanent level" 1t is
found to be vigorously exact only
when the weight of the air is neg
lected.

NERVE OF WOMAN SAVES HER
Airship Carrying Mrs. Heaton Springs
1000 Feet Into the Air.

OAKLAND, Cal, Feb. 21.-Witn
broken cables dangling from it's frame,
and with Mrs. George w. Heaton,
wife of the inventor, as it's prescious
freight, the airship California Mes
senger'' suddenly sprang upward 1000
feet over Idora park today. There
seemed no hope for its occupant, but
the plucky little woman but a hole in
the gas bag with her teeth, and the
huge machine plunged earthward to
land lightly in East Berkeley with alb
solutely no damage to itself or Mrs.
Heaton.
Mrs Heaton mad assembled in the
Messenger. a sort distance above 1dora
Park to allow the taking of some
photographs by B. Maurice Stuart.
Light ropes held the machine to the
earth, but hardly had it risen above
the tree tops when the strain proved
too great and the cables parted.
Like a rocket the machine scared
up until it seemed but a handful in
the sky. The spectators moaned.
Suddenly it seemed to stop midway in
it's upward flight. Mrs. Heaton was
but a speck, but she could be seen still
clinging to her post.
The machine turned nose down.
ward and plunged headiong toward the
earth Eight hundred feet it dropped
with terrible velocity. Then it ap-
peared to regain it's equilibrium.
Slowly downward it floated and landed
lightly in a vacant lot at the corner Of
Grant street and Dwight Way.
Though there were few bamboo
poles broken, the Messenger struck
the ground almost without jar, and
Mrs. Heaton stepped down uninjured.
