To Find the Horsepower.

A rule for finding horsepower OF a
pulley Is to multiply the circumfer.
ence Of the pulley in feet by the revo-
lutlons per minute. and the product
thus obtained by the width of the belt
in inches, and divide the result by 600
The quotient will be the horsepower
which the pulley is capable of trans
hitting. This rule is founded on the
fact that good, ordinary single leather
betting, with a tension Of fifty-fve
pounds per inch wide, will require fifty
square feet Of belt surface passing
over the pulley per minute for one
horsepower. Fifty square feet per
minute are equal to a belt one inch
wide running COO feet per minute.

The principal reasons that we feel
objects that are cold when brought In
contact with the skin quicker than
those that are warm IS that the skin,
being a very poor conductor OF heat,
abscrbs heat slowly from an object OF
a higher temperature than itself, While
other objects which are cooler and
which in nearly every instance are
better conductors Of heat than the skin
absorb heat readily frCGl the skin, aud
hence sensation OF cold is felt at
once

How Clouds and Focs Differ.

Clouds are bodies OF moisture evapo-
rated from the earth and again partial
ly condensed in the upper regions Of
the air. FOgs differ from clouds only
In one respectfully come in contact
with the surface of the earth while
clouds are elevated above our heads.
When the surface Of the earth IL
warmer than the lower air the vapor Of
the earth, being condensed by the chill
air, becomes mist or fog. But when
the lower air Is warmer than the earth
the vapOr rises through the air and be-
comes cloud. Fog and mist differ in
this respect-that mist is a fine rain.
while fog Is vapOr not sufficiently con-
densed to allow Of its precipitation In

When the frost has been slowly and
carefully drawn out they again as
sumo their normal size and appearance.
Apples can be transported when tho
mercury Is 20 degrees below zero. Po-
