When liquid crystaIlizes," SAYS
Morris w. Travers. in a recent lecture.
heat is evolved. and il is found that
the solid and liquid have different dem
stiles; there is. In fact, a discontinuity
in the properties of the solid and Iiquid
states, or to use the modern term,
phases of the substance. The forma-
tion of the CLASSY substance is not
however, accompanied by any such
change; IL is in fact only highly
viscous liquid. Clear proof of the liquid
nature of window glass, for instance,
lies in the fact that a cut made in it with
a diamond rapidly heads so that after
a short time the glare is less readily
broken along the cut than when IL was
first made. Such CLASSY bodies cannot
be regarded as true solids, which
should. in every case, be capable OF
existing in a crystalline form, though
this is not always apparent. Some
times, particularly at low temperatures,
1t Is difficult to determine whether n
substance is actually in the crystalline
or CLASSY condition. and it's true state
can be determined only by observing
the change which takes place when the
liquid is cooled In the case OF some
parafin hydrocarbons. for instance. the
liquid becomes thick and treacly before
passing into the CLASSY condition In
no case can petrol be made to crystal
lize. Liquid hydrogen. when evaporated
in vacuo, does not become more vtscOuS
as its temperature falls. but when a
temperature corresponding to about 141
degrees absolute is reached, flakes OF
CLASSY matter break away at the sur
face and finally the whole mass turns
to a clear CLASSY solid. National

HIS IDENTITY
IS REVEALED

Jonathan Curtis. who died in New York
on Tuesday, was at one time manager
for Payot, -Upham & Co, the well-known
local stationers and publishers. He was
married to the daughter of Henry Payot,
head of the firm, until about two years
ago. when the couple were divorced. The
marriage was quite a social event and
the separation caused considerable sur
prise at the time. The deceased leaves
several children here.
Shortly after the divorce Curtis re-
signed from his position. much against
the wishes of the firm. and went TO New
York to begin all over. There he OBJ
tained a place with the Faber Pencil
Company and used the assumed name OF
Clarke.
Curtis was living at the Cameron
apartment house with a woman who
called herselfs Mrs. Clarke. She claimed
that she was married to Curtis by con-
tract The woman's name is Caroline
Clarke. She is the daughter OF Curtis
landlady and is designer for the De-
lineator.
Curtis was A years old and native
OF Philadelphia. He came to San Fran
cisco at an early age and became con-
nected with the firm Of Payot, Upham
& Co. He advanced rapidly and gained
the reputation OF being a keen bust
ness man.
Curtis death was caused by epilepsy.
The space in the death certificate
where II was TO be stated whether de-
ceased was married or single" was
finally filled In with divorced" One
of Curtis friends volunteered that In
formation. but refused to go into the
details Of Curtis past history.
