DROPS OF WATER.
Thrown Upon q Redhot Stove, They
Will Never Touch IL.

1t is impossible to throw a few drops
Of water on a redhot stove. The wa
ter can never touch the stove at ALL
What is seen is Il few drops rolling
rapidly over the surface. gradually
getting smaller until they disappear.
Ii the drops are on n perfectly level
place one can see under them TO the
other side of the room. thus proving
that they are not in contact with the
stove itself.
What actually happens is that the
bottoms of the drop changes at once to
steam or vapor on coming close to the
hot surface, and this vapor is supplied
by the drop as it gradually goes away.
So the drop rests on cushion of va
por until it is entirely dissipated. This
state of water is known as the spheroi-
dial state and is of interest simply on
account of its popularity and seeming
~ paradoXical behavior
The reason why the drop is not i'm
mediately evaporated or changed TO
steam is also very interesting. The
water vapor that intervenes between
its under surface aud the redhot stove
is Il very bad conductor of heat. and
consequently the full intensity of the
heat cannot get to the water itself,
only the amount transmitted through
the vapor being available for this pur-
pose.-St Louis Republic.

Waits TO Hear
From Aberdeen

Further steps in regard to the Orga-
nization of a class &C. baseball league
in the Inland Empire are being delay
ed on account of Manager O'Brien de-
string to give Manager Clarence Row
land of the Aberdeen club more time
TO come to some definite conclusion
as to whether he will join this league.
Manager Rowland has many players
engaged, some of whom he will have
to sell. and he also offered another
proposition in a class &C. league on
the sound. AS soon as Mr.. O'Rrien
knows definitely what Rowland will
do. immediate action will be taken.
Choice of towns is the hardest mat
ter. as Mr.. O'Brien only wants good
Lively towns that can support club
and that will have their forfeit mon
ey ready to put up. Mr.. O'Brien says
that there will be a league, that is a
sure thing and the only cause for the
delay thus far is on account of Man
ager Rowland's indecision. Word is
expected any moment from Aberdeen
and then q meeting will be called. The
fans of the city have been growing i'm
patient at the seemingly uncalled for
delay but it takes time to formulate
plans that will carry, and Mr.. U'Brien
says he is doing all possible to have
good ball here this season.
