water pipes ana Freezing.

Housekeepers as a rule do not under.
stand why it is the hot water pipe
is the first to freeze in very cold wealth
err. They think that it ought to be the
other way around-that hot water
ought to withstand the low tempera-
ture longer than cold water will. That
does seem reasonable, but a little in
vestigation shows us that it is not Hot
water freezes more quickly than cold
water for several reasons. In the first
place. the boiling Of water expels the
air from it, and water will not freeze
until it has parted with its air. IN the
second place, there is always a slight
agitation on the surface of hot water,
and this promotes congelation by as
sistipg the crystals to change their po-
sition until they assume that most fa-
vorable to qualification. Then the
particles in hot water divide into small

less resistance is therefore offered to
the cold than in cold water.

A F1imsy Craft.

While it is rarely employed by Euro
peans as q method of travel, even in
emergencies, the catamaran Of the
Madras fishermen Of India is by all
odds the most extraordinary of water
vehicles. 1t consists simply Of three
logs dashed together and flush with the
surface of the water. On these a fish
erman sometimes two or more fisher
mem stands and with a single oar pad
dies himself far out to sea. A Madras
fisherman will venture out when boat
men will not launch their craft, and
even in weather when boats cannot be
launched he will go through the surf
and out to ships with letters, for the
delivery of which he gets few pence.
In order to catch their ships few be-
lated travellers have been known 10
trust themselves on catamarans. They
are united in the statement that the
ride on the logs was the most nerve
trying experience they had undergone
in a land that holds new thrill for the
stranger at every turn. The sea and
an occasional ducking have no terrOrS
for these natives, not even the ex
tremely young, and in reality the cata-
maran is not entirely to be scorned, for
it is, after all, nOnsinkable.

Instructive Piety of the Irish Gael.

Instructive Piety OF the Irish Gael.
AS DR.. Douglas Hyde pointed out,

ineligible. When he meets a neighbor,
instead of saying Bon jour- or Good

Indeed, all the ordinary invocations

will say, The blessing of God be with

wonderment surprises him he will cry,

Reserve Buds.

Every one has noticed how, when q
large branch of a tree is cut off, small
branches will shoot out around the
stump. These branches are from the
reserve buds, of which all trees have a
great number at every portion of their
surface. Under ordinary circumstances
these never come to maturity, but when
the tree is wounded or cut off or loses
some of its branches the reserve buds
at once come into play and renew the
foliage.

exactly in the geographical center of
