HORSE TOO FAST FOR HIM
Arizona Pastor Tells the Reason Why
Animal Is Not Stabbed in
the Organ.

"As was coming by one of the
churches in Bisbee.''' said Judge Dick
son, of Nogales, Ariz., to a Brooklyn
Eagle reporter, my range finder appre-
hended the odor of fried cottontail, and
then l noticed smoke pouring from the
church chimney, which led me to be-
lieve that church supper was under
way. Being hungry and inclined to
benevolence when an opportunity like
that to favor the church runs against
me, pushed in the side door and found
that l was right in a kitchen where
supposed the pastor had his study.
Standing over a four-hole stove was
Rev. Mr.. Banks, smothering cOttontail
in skillet of hot lard, and he was much
warmer than he expects to be hereafter
when he has his salary raised and he
isn't compelled to keep house in church.
"'How do you like camping out in
church, asked, taking in the situa-
ton. Better let me share that rabbit
with you. Queer place to live, isn't it?
Where's your horse? Stable him here?'
NO, sir, l don't, I'm sorry to say an
swered the parson, although there's
nice stall for him in the organ, but
can't afford to do it., so turn him out
on the range near by and run chances
You'll lose him, sure We'll, all right.
He's a bad mans horse, anyway, for I
can't move my jaws preaching the
Lords Word as fast as he can on alfalfa

WEIGHING A LETTER.
How It May Be Done by Means Of
the Ordinary Platform
Scale.

To use the style of scale that is de-
signed to weigh barrels of merchan-
disc for ascertaining the weight of a
letter is like setting tiger to catch
a fly. Still, a correspondent of the
American Machinist has done it sue
cessfully, and he shares the secret
with the public. The plan described
works equally we'll in measuring cor
responding amounts of merchandise
an ounce of nutmegs, for instance.
Some of the best known platform
scales are made so that the addition
of pound to the tip of the beam coun-
terbalances 100 pounds on the plat
form. Anyone who is aware of this
fact, says the Farmer Tribune, can
apply the principle without much
trouble, but he must reverse the or
der of procedure. He first puts the
letter or parcel the weight of which
he wishes to find out on the pendant
at the end of the geam. Then he
places on the platform enough of any
kind of material that is handy to raise
the beam. Having thus weighed the
letter. he divides the result by 100.
Says the correspondent:
Suppose the weight of the mate
rial which just balances the letter to
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1905-03-23

be five and three-fourths pounds. Then
SIS DIVIDED by 100 equals .C575 pound
Reducing this to ounces, .0575 times 16
eqaals .92 ounce, which is the weight
of the letter. On the other hand, il
we wish to weigh out exactly one
ounce of something, we have only to
remember that it will require 100
ounces on the platform, or six and
one-fourth pounds, to balance one
ounce.
If the ratio of the weights is not
known, it may be found by Weighing
one of the weights. If the weight
which is marked 100 pounds weighs
1 pound, the ratio is, Of course, 1
to 100, or if the 10O-pound weight
actually weighs one-half pound, the
ratio is to 200.
Where made to the metric system
the calculations can, of course, be
made mentally from one denomina-
ton to another. For instance, if ~
kilos are required on the platform to
balance the weight on the counter
poise, then the latter is .027 gram; or,
.27 decigraln; or, "a centigrams, or
q milligrams.

CHARMING EXPERIMENT.
Mystic Trick Performed with Spool,
Pencil, Needle, Thread, Cork and
Tumbler of Water.

Here is a charming little experiment
with which you can entertain party of
friends for a good half-hour, and which
you will find full of interest for yourself
All you need is spool, pencil, a
knitting needle, some thread, q cork
and a tumbler of water-things which
any of our readers, says the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune, can easily find
about the house, with the possible ex-
ception of the knitting needle, which
you can replace by hatpin, if you wish,
and if your big sister is not wearing
hers.
Fill the tumbler with water, nearly
to the brim. Stick the pencil point first
into the spool and stand the spool by the
glass. Trim the top of the pencil with
your jack knife, so that its top is half
inch higher than the rim of the tumbler
Get a card or bit of pasteboard, and
from it cut a triangular piece with sides
each two inches long. In each corner
make pinhole, and pass the end OF
piece of thread through each hole. Now,

POWER OF FREEZING ICE.
A Study Of the Problem Why Barrels
Are Broken by Ice Ex-
pansion.

Correspondents who have studied this
question have found that suspending q
piece or stick of soft wood in the center
of the cask prevents the breakage of the
cask when the water is solidly frozen.
It is asserted by some that cask open
at one end cannot burst, since the up
per layer of ice has free end to expand,
but correspondent of Scientific Amer
lean shows this is not conclusive in the
set of sketches herewith.
He states: There is resistance very
soon. A barrel of water placed on a
fiat surface without air circulating un-
der it forms ice first at the open top
then at sides. last at bottom. This diff
ference continues, increasing the thick
ness at top and angles until there is
formed an egg-shaped chamber around
tho remaining water. The ice is heav-
lest at top and thinnest at middle of
bottom. AS the increased pressure
caused by expansion of freezing presses

tom with its thin layer of ice is stronger

1T was said, and not without reason,
that Grubbs had no friends. He was
surely an uninviting old fellow, as those
upon whose property he held mortgages
were we'll aware, but persons better ac-
quainted with him, that is to say, those
who had glimpses of his inner nature, de-
clared that there was good in him. He
used to come down town every morning

knot the other ends c. the thread to-
gether.
Stick one end Of your hatpin into the
side of the cork near the top, and lay the
knitting needle across the top Of the pen
Gill; with the bottom of the cork resting
on the surface of the water in the glass.
You would better have tiny groove in
the top of the pencil.
On the other end of the knitting needle
suspend the triangular bit of paste
board, as the picture shows. Now you
are ready for your experiment.
Ask each of your friends to guess how
board without overbalancing the
needle and drawing the cork from the
water. They will guess absurdly low
numbers1two, three, four, etc., for the
weight of the card alone will make the
cork bob up and down and look as If 1t
might be lifted from the water at any
moment.
Now pile match after match on the
cardboard, and you will find that a
good-sized pile.'will be required before
the cork can be lifted from the water; a
pile weighing much more than the cork.
This is due to quality of the water
called surface tension" which holds on
to things with a very real force, and by
Weighing first the cork and then the
matches on a small scale, you can find
out just what is the surface tension of
the water in the glass; it will be just the
difference in weight between the cork
and the matches.

A piece of wood two or three feet long
suspended with lower end at center Of
barrel, the water under pressure will es-
cape between it and the surrounding ice
to top, congealing there in layers, form
ing an elevation several inches high.
This escaping water prevents the wood
from becoming tightly fixed in ice, and
the increased pressure beneath may
cause it to rise several inches through
the ice, as seen in Fig. 8.
Fig. 1 shows the first stage of the ice
formation. Fig. 2 is the second stage.
showing the extra thickness at the top
and the beginning of the ice uplift.
It is a well-known fact that water be-
gins to expand while it is seven degrees
above its freezing temperature, and the
expansion continues as it becomes ice.
In the change from water to ice the ex-
pansion is about one-ninth, and this
amount of space must be provided some-
where. Usually a strong barrel will
hold, and the ice will give away at the
top, but the use of a stick Of timber no
doubt is helpful in preventing possible
breakage.
