HOT AIR BREEDS HOT AIR.
Experience Of the Collector Of Air
for Subway Tests in New
York

The young man who collects subway
air for the chemical tests of the Rapid
Transit commission is variously re-
garded by the spectators as crank, lu.
natic, humbug and wizard. And in re-
turn, says the New York Sun, he has
concluded that ye bright boy of ye
newspaper tale Is not the only one OF
the human species to ask questions.
The air Is collected at various times

week the collections have been made
Inside express trains.
A certain fat lady had to run for the
train and sat down opposite the air
collector quite out OF breath. When
the pumping started she looked at the
man as fiercely as her putting would
allow, then shifted seats, glared again
and finally swept out at the next stop.
"She thinks you're tryin' to initiate
her with them bellows" volunteered
the guard "But, say, on the level,
what the thunder is that thing, any
way? Amt no music box, is it?''

kind of weather we might expect, and

But the best philosophy came from
the man in charge OF an uptown sta

collectors appearance at two a. m.
broke the monotony of the empty plat

the guard.

The Salt in the Ocean

II the ocean did not have salt It
would freeze somewhat more readily
than it does now, but there would be
no very marked difference. The ocean
Is prevented from freezing not so
much by its salt as by it's size and
by it's commotion. On account of it's
size, large portions of it extend into
warm climates at all seasons, and
by reason of its great depth it is
vast storehouse of heat. It's currents
distribute much warm water among
the cold.-St. Nicholas.
