NEVER TOUCH THE SURFACE
What Happens When Drops Ct
Water Are Scattered on Top of
a Hot Stove.

It Is impossible to throw few drops
of water on redhot stove. The water
can never touch the stove at all. What
is seen is few drops rolling rapidly
over the surface, gradually getting
smaller until they disappear. If the
drops are on 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
bottom of the drop changes at once
to steam or vapor on coming close to
the hot surface, and this vapor is sup
piled by the drop as it gradually goes
away. So the drop rests on a cushion
of vapor until it is entirely dissipated.
This state OF water is known as the
spheroidal state, and is of interest on
account of it's popularity and seeming
ly paraGoXical 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 and the redhot stove
is very bad conductor of heat and
consequently the full intensity of the
heat cannot get into the water itself
only the amount transmitted through
the vapor being available for this pur

Reapportionment Now Possible.
Final action in the way of shaping
a bill for the reapportionment OF the
state into legislative districts can
now be taken by the next legislature.
The census announcement was the
only thing that held back plans or
those favorable to the measure. lt Is
Is years since the present system OF
legislative representation was drawn
up and the apportionment then made
was based on the state census of 1898.
The inequality of the present appor-
tionment is shown in the accompany
ing table. The state senator in Dodge
county is elected by constituency
numbering only 1904 while the Fiji
ty-second legislative district has near
ly $4,000 people.
The representation of the various
districts with the 1910 population of
each follows:
Present Representation.
Ramsey county includes districts 80
to 81. The population is 223,675 and
the county is resented by five sena-
tors and IL members of the house.
This is 44,735 for each senator.
Hennepin county includes districts
3S to AZ. The population is 333,4SO
and the county is represented by sew
en- senators and 16 members of the
house. This is 1850 for each senator.
Other Districts.
Other districts in order follow:
st. Louis, Cook and Lake counties
are divided into three districts with
three senators and six representatives.
The Forty-ninth, Fiftieth and part of
the Fifty-first are included in st. Louis
county with a population of 1924.
The remainder of the Fifty-frst dis
trict is made up by Cook and Lake
counties. The population of Cook is
1886 and Lake SOIL. ST. Louis coun-
ty has a senator for each $4,000 peo-
pie and five house members for each
1855 people. The remaining districts

Boston-After an illness OF two
days Mrs. Baker Eddy, founder and
head of the Christian Science church,
passed away at her home at Chestnut
Hill Mrs. Eddy was ninety years old.
The end came SO quietly and peace
fully that Mrs. Eddy's most intimate

mother of the Christian Science
church, penned as a message to her
disciples, were "God Is My Life"

The body now lies in state in the
large room on the grand floor Of her
home. Only the leaders in the church
were permitted to take last look at
her face.
Mrs. Eddy had been indisposed
about nine days. She was in posses
sion of all her faculties until the very
end.
1t is reported that her death fol-
lowed a slight cold contracted on one
of her daily drives through the

grounds of her Chestnut Hill home.
1t is believed her drive of Thursday
might have aggravated the cold she
caught a little over week ago. The
extent to which Mrs. Eddy had car
ried her idea of personal suppression
in regard to the Christian Science
church is shown in the fact that she
was never inside the new Christian
Science church on Falmouth street
in this city. 1t is also probable that
she never saw the edifice.
About her at the time of death came
were persons who have been intimate
hold for the past several years: Cal
vim A. Frye, Laura E. Sargent, Mrs.
Ella S. Rathvon Of Colorado, Rev.
Irving G. Tomlinson, her correspond
ing secretary; William R. Rathvon
of Kansas City.
No Physician Was in Attendance.
No physician was in attendance at
the bedside of Mrs. Eddy. While no
one of those present, all of whom
were devoted students, realized just
when death had come, it was believed
by them and Sc stated that Mrs Eddy
had spent her final moments in the
body in a spiritual communing with
God, fighting against death according
to the principles which she had her
self set forth in the Bible of the
Christian Science religion, her book,
Science and Health, With Key to the
Scriptures
Those surrounding her themselves
prayed increasingly. Mrs. Eddy left
no final message, due, it is said, to
her last efforts in following out her
own doctrine

major part of the gain is credited to
the three largest Minneapolis,

communities show a growth that is
more than merely healthy.
An increase of more than 100000 is

Minnesota has been continuing for
years. Its wealth, climate and prom
ises of bounteous crops have brought
new citizens to Minnesota from all
over the world.
Nearly every county in the state
shows gains and some of them have
almost doubled since 1900. Those
counties containing the cities show
an especially large increase. In 1880,
only 80 years ago, when the first fed
eral census was taken in the state,
Minnesota had population of only
7S0,773, and has gained 1,294,935 in
that period.
Texas and Oregon and WASHINGTON
have a larger percentage increase,
but the railroads of the country have
spent millions of dollars in advertis-
ing and land has been offered free
to thousands who would take it. The
growth in Minnesota has been a
steady, natural increase and there is
no danger of losing any of the gain.
