How Water Acts.

Water contracts as it falls from
the normal boiling point, 212 de-
grees, until it reaches thirty-nine de-
grees. Below that degree it expands,
and at thirty-two degrees, the freez-
ing point, it will expand enough to
burst pipes and vessels holding it.
When the pressure of the air is
below normal, water boils at lower
temperature than 212 degrees. This
is noticed before rain, when the ba-
rometer shows by falling mercury
decreased air pressure. This also
explains why water boils away more
rapidly, quickly or at a lower temper
ature in the mountains, where the
pressure of the air is less than on the
seacoast or in the valleys. If sugar
or salt is added to water the temper
ature of the boiling point is raised a
few degrees. AS a rule, as water is
heated it will hold greater amount
of substance in solution. A familiar
exception is the fact that ice water
will dissolve twice as much lime as
boiling water. At the other extreme
boiling water will dissolve seventeen
times as much saltpetre as will cold
water. But water varies in it's solv-
ent powers regardless of heat. One
pound of water will hold two pounds
of sugar in solution, but only two
ounces of common salt.

If there is any limit short of thirty
thousand tons for the warships of the
future it is not now in sight. And
certainly there seems to be no limit
in the matter of cost, remarks Daniel
II. Pierce in the World To-Day. A
few years ago 100000 was consid-
cred an extravagant amount of mon
ey to put into one battleship. Since
then armored cruisers of the Colorado
and West Virginia class have been
developed, and the 20,000-ton battle
ship will cost at least $10,000,000.
The four new battleships asked of
Congress at this session are estimat-
ed to cost $9,500,0o0, exclusive of
guns, armor and equipment.

cussion of the recent financial storm

of Alexander D. Moves, financial edi-
tor of the New York Evening Post,
under title of THE Cycle of Prosper
ity' 1t is this authority's position
that 1.-THE resources, developed with
so extraordinary success by those
methods of dozen years ago, we
still possess, and they are not less GER
tain a factor in the future of indus
trial America than they were in 1896
or in 1901" Economic history is un-
failing in one of it's specific teach
ings namely, that after each success
sive crisis of the sort American
finance and industry have in due time
risen to far greater heights of genu-
inc power and prestige than in the
preceding cycle of prosperity. AS for
the further outcome, in the return OF
habits of thrift, prudence, economy
and sobriety to the American people
in their private life, this will be the
quickest and surest of all results!
