The first effect Of cold on the skin Is
to contract the tiny vessels that connect
arteries and veins Arteries are yes
sells that take blood from the heart
Veins are those that bring blood back
to the heart, and the connecting yes
sells are called capillaries. While these
little vessels are contracting the skin
itself becomes tenser In few mo
ments or minutes the effects change
The tiny nerves whose stimulation
caused contraction Of the capllaries
are more or less paralyzed, and the YES
sells dilate 80 the skin gets red. Soon
the veins are dilated, and the skin be,

"Why notp asked the astonshed

Because they are responsible for

clothes for weeks wltho9t pressing be
cause he says 1t is too much trouble to
change the things in his pockets to an
other suit He says that hglf the men
who 90 around In seedy clothes do so
for the same reason. If that Is so, just

II Is a common practice for the boys
in some watch and jewelry factories
TO kill the rats which infest the build
lngs and burn the bodies to obtain the
gold. Many oiled rags are used In
furnishing watch cases. and In time
they become lmpregnated with gold.
The rats eagerly devour these rags
and a few months Of this kind Of diet
fills the Interior mechanism Of the rat
with a gold plating. Twice year the
boys have a grand cremation. The
rats are caught by the hundred and
burned in a crucible. The intense heat
drives off all animal substances and
leaves the gold in the shape OF o little
lump. The amount Of the precious
metal obtained In this way IL not large,
but gives the ingenious youngsters
plenty OF pocket money, In some fac
tories young Napoleons OF finance buy
up IN advance the shares Of their fell
low workers In the rat colony London
Mall.

What Must He DOc

We extend our sympathies to the
blockader of Orange county, who un-
derstands what it means to be whip
sawed. He has had double trouble in
the courts. On one charge he was per-
mitted to save himself provided he
leaves the state and returns.
The day after hat sentence was pass
ed he was again arrested and held in
the sum Of $500 for his appearance.
If he leaves he will forfeit the bond
and if he stays he will forfeit his free
dom papers and be imprisoned for two
years. All things, considered, how-
ever, he would show his wisdom if he
should join the birds.-Raleigh Times.
