Nature of Heat

THOUGH all know that heat is energy
and can be converted into mechanical
energy. the conception as to the nature OF
heat is not 50 general Just what happens
to a BODY when il becomes hotter Or colder:
Most people are content IN saying that the
body gains heat or loses 1t.
Il Is q well established fact that bodies are
made up OF very small particles called mole
cr1les For all temperatures we are able to
produce these molecules are found to be IN a
state OF very rapid motion. Il a piece OF iron
is heated, we see that it expands; but no
weight is added TO It How. then, can II pos
siblv get largero The conception Is that the
molecules are made 10 go faster than before
consequently striking one another with
greater force and showing the outerInost
molecules away; so finally all OF them are at
greater distances apart and the body IS
11leasurably larger.
This can be proved; for. although we can
not see the spaces between the molecules, we
can force certain gases through not body
that VIII not 60 through the BODY cold IL
when BODY becomes hot, the molecules go
faster. and that IS the only change we can see
we are justified in concluding that heat IS
nothing but the energy OF { moving mole
Guile: in other words, simple mechanical en-
erqv Of the nolecule- Just as we can turn q
wheel bv means OF our mechanical energy,
we can make a body hot by means OF nlolecu-
lar mechanical energy
When is a body absolutely cold, then:
When. and only when, the rnolectlle IS not
moving at all This state OF affairs takes
place at what IS known as absolute zero OF
+e77Derat11re. which IS 213o below zero Cent?
Grade or 1899 below zero Fahrenheit Moth

for GOODNESS is simply an absence OF heat, and
as heat IS merely the energy OF moving

cesses IN some localities Millions Of the
creatures have been drowned out in irri-
gated areas at the first flooding of the land.
North Dakota attempted to expedite the ex-
termination OF the pest by authorizing the
different counties to offer bounty. II was
tired IN few instances; but with such
pll1ng up OF slaughtered dogs as a result that
bankruptcy would have followed if the law
had not been speedily rendered Ineffective
The United States Government, under d.
rectIon OF the Biological Survey, has under
taken to nd national forest ranges of prairie
dogs by employing men to give their full
time to the work of poisoning and hunting
them out.
While the barrenness of a dog town would
suggest that the inhabitants choose un-
fertile areas for their homes, vet, when such
ground is brought under cultivation, the
contrary is proved true. A Dakota farmer
two years ago plowed fifty acres in the cen
ter OF a large dog town and seeded it to flax,
thinking thereby to drive off the colony.
he exlles from new watch towers looked
with interest on the growing and ripening of
the crop, and when the proper time came cut
and carried 1t away almost to straw. Last
spring the wrathful farmer with the help of
HIS ldiiiHH StltWeu the QOS tOWn WITH poison
and sowed the fifty acres again, this time to
wheat. He harvested seventeen hundred
bushels from it.
The story that burrowing owls and rattle
snakes often inhabit burrows with prairie
dogs seems to be authentic.
The dog towns are scenes of great hustle
and activity in the fall, when the inhabitants
are filling their granaries for winter. A good
ly store is needed, as the prairie dog keeps
well under cover through the cold season
coming out only on warm, sunshiny days tt
watch from his burrow. Next to man HI
mostly fears the coyote.

Plant Circulation

TT is generally known that plants have cir
culation comparable with the circulation
OF blood in animals: but it is not so well
known that their force of liquid propulsion
is vastly greater than any animal blood
pressure. even the elephant s. ne force OF
an animals blood as II circulates through the
largest arteries is incapable OF raising col
l1rnn OF water over seven feet hlgh whereas
the force of a plants sap, even OF small
vine. can raise a column OF water from forty
to eighty feet high, exertlng pressure OF
over two atmospheres.
The way this is shown in the laboratory is
10 tear off a small branch OF a tree and TX IT
alright into a rather large short tube flieo
with water. To the bottom end OF the thick
tube IS attached a small thin tube fllled with
colored water and having its lower end I'M
,,3erse5 in a vessel OF colored water. This ex-
pertinent simply shows the rate OF absorp-
ton OF fluid by plant. The coored water
IS seen to rise IN the small tube at COM
parativelv rapid rate, an inch or SO minute.
To show the height to winch the pressure
can force water, a tube has to be htted INTO
the bark of a plant and the root supplied
with water :,
Hales first showed this with small vine,
which he severed and to which he applied a
tube. The fluid rose to over forty feet. De
Candolle tried other plants, and in one IN
stance secured a height Of eighty feet, or over
TWO atmospheres' pressure. The cause OF
this force was long considered due to capll-
Iarv attraction caused by the halrl1ke tubes
in plants This failing TO account tor the
enormous force developed, microscopic ex-
animation showed that these vessels had a
progressive contracting motion similar to
that in the arteries Of animals and that the
explanation in each case was the same.
Thus the vitality or principle OF llte that
allows this motion is in all cases the direct
cause.

I. B. AND THE BAND.

Companies I, B. and the Band of the First Connecticut Heavy Artillery, one of the finest Civil war regiments of the state, held reunion yesterday at The Stratde1d. about 75 of the comrades responding to the roll call. Two of them had travelled very long distances to be present at the re- union. Since the last meeting the hand of death has been felt very heavily among the veterans, a round dozen having been called to the last muster. Among the speakers were General Henry L. Abbott U. s. A., who was colonel of the regiment dur ing the war and is now engaged upon Panama canal work; Frank Miller, one of the most active of the veterans and whose enthusiasm contributes much to the success of the reunion; Charles F. Goodyear of Georgia; George F. Light of Kansas. who attended a reunion yesterday for the first time since the war; B. J. Steele and others.

REFUSES
 TO SURRENDER TO U. S.
 AT SAN SALVADOR TO-DAY.
Especial from United Press.)

San Salvador, Oct. 12.-Informa- ton was received here today that the United States gunboat Prihc ceton reached Amapa1a yesterday and de- manded the surrender of Command ante Valladares, who inaugurated a reign of terror against American and British interests in Western Hondur- as. VaTadares refused to surrender, sending word that he is not "sub- serVient to American pigs"
 Just prior to the arrival of the warship, President Davil1a sent word to Valladares to meet any demand made by the American commander.
 ValIadares wired back that he was rIAnning the port as it suited him and he refused Davil1a's request to surrender.
 Further word from Amapala de- clares that American marines are preparing to land and take forcible possession and that they will meet with resistance.

tractors today for ratification The
matter. however, rests solely with the
contractors. as the electrical workers
have taken the first step TO secure an
amicable reconsideration between the
contractors and the workmen- II the
contractors refuse to accept the propo-
sition OF the electrical workers IL Will
mean that the strike VIII be fndefi-

I'VE. the electrical workers of the
l. Il. II. W. No. 354. do hereby instruct
r. A. Dunsby. secretary OF the Build
ing Trades council. that he inform the
electrical contractors OF salt Lake that
the electrical workers will return TO
their work for 80 days at the old sched-
ule OF 1915 per day OF eight hours,
pending a final settlement OF the dtf-
ficulties between the electrical work
ers and the Contractors Between these
periods we ask that all shops shall be
closed shops. that all men shall be re-
instated In their former positions. and
that all men carry cards or permits
from local No. 354- IL at the end Of
that time the differences between the
electrical workers and the electrical
contractors cannot be amicably set
tied we will again go out on strike
The electrical workers took these
steps last night through the recon-

not come to an agreement with the
