To try this entertaining exper.
iment YOU need q hard. boiled egg
and a bottle or flask with n wide
body and a neck large enough 10
let the egg sit tightly and snugly
on It's mouth, end down,
Peel the egg and lay Il aside.
Then roll up some paper into o
shape SO that II will burn readily.
AZ soon as Il has burned itself
out, place the egg firmly ON the
mouth Of the flask, pressing il
on just hard enough so that it
viii close the opening entirely.
Before many minutes the egg
viii begin 70 stretch itself. II
wilt seem to crawl into the bot
tie. More and more Of Il de-
scends, till suddenly with a pop,
the whole egg lengthens itself
out and slides into the bottle.
What has happenedg Every
body viii ask that. The explana-
ton is simple enough.
When you threw the lighted
paper into the bottle the heat ex-
banded the air. Therefore, by
the time the flame was extin-
guished the air in the bottle was
and thin, and a good part
of il had been crowded out TO
room for the expansion.
After the egg had been set on
the bottle the air in it began to
cool again. AS Il cooled il con-
tracted. That made room in the
as it is called in
scientific language. Consequent
ly the air pressure outside Of the
was greater than that of
the air inside, and the poor old
egg, being between the two, had
to yield to the stronger. That is
why it slid into the bottle, 1t
had to.

Iron a. orrespondcnt al the im
plement Trade journal.
For good reasons I make bold
TO call your attention 20 the en-
closed press dispatch Of Feb 27th.
in the kansas City Star, in refer
|ence TO the charity Of one John
d. Rockefeller, but more espcc
tally do | speak Of the lines which
say:
Mr.. Rockefeller then
ran down the steps 10 greet his
baby grand. daughter, Miss Mu
riel Mccormick, who was in her
perambulator outside. She clap
ped her hands, and Mr.. Rookie
feller's austere countenance re.
Taxed into a smile.m
This is q very small matter,
and would not deserve the slight
est notice on my part, except that
Miss Muriel Mccormick is the
daughter of Mr.. Harold McCor-
mick Of the international Har-
yester Co, and is the living "tie.
that binds" that institution to the.
Standard Oil and its allies, which
are now occupying the center Of
the stage in Kansas, and the
other oil-producing states.
The fact that a man kissed his
aby-granddaughter is an unim
portant action, and one which
none of us are anxious to per
form, though l don't suppose any
of us viii refuse to do il wien
the time comes but it should
be proof to any farmer or dealer
that Mr.. Rockefeller is the
moving spirit" behind the har
vester trust. There never was
an international Harvester Co,
until after the Mccormick and
the Rockefeller families were
united by the marriage Of the
son, Harold, and the daughter,
Helen.
If anyone wants any further
proof of the union of these gigan
tic monopolies, and their inten-
ton to crush out competition in
implements as well as in oil, l do
do not know where he would go
to find it. The trail of the same
serpent is in both trusts, and any
dealer who sells the Interna
tional implements and any farm.
er who buys them, is adding just
so much strength and muscle 20
the arm that has been clubbing
the people of this country, and
which viii beat out the last sem
blance of life or competition in
business, unless the people awake
TO the true situation.
Many state legislatures are en-
deavoring to enact laws which
viii stand the test of the courts,
