Patrick III. McCarren once told me
or Il funny incident that happened in
Rome" said II Brooklyn lawyer. INC
Carren said that on his first visit 70
Rome, after he had seen the Co iseum
ana the Forum. he visited the Ara
Coeli church. on the left of the Capt.
toline hill. He climbed the grand
stairway leading to the church. the
finest open air stairway in the world.
He pushed back the heavy leather cur
tain. and, entering. he found a service
In progress. So he put his hat on the
marble floor at his side and took n
seat
After ten minutes or so he decided
he would so and reached down for his
hat. But restraining hand was laid
on his. and he desisted He knew, of
course, that some churches don't like
people 10 leave in the midst of Il serv-
ice.
''Ten or fifteen minutes more passed.
The service still continued. Senator
McCarrcn got impatient and again
reached for his hat. But again the I'M
seen hand restrained him from the
rear
"A little later, however, the senator
quite lost patience. This was, he told
himself. an important service. Of
course. Nevertheless he did not pro-
pose 20 miss his luncheon. and 1t would
harm no one if he slipped out quietly.
$50 third time he reached for his
hat. and the invisible hand a third
time detained him. He persevered,
however. The silent hand pushed. and

ABSOLUTE ZERO.

Tho Freezing Point of Helium Gas Is
Just Above It.
Although familiar to scientists. 1t is
not generally known that the true
zero OF heat has been determined. BY
this absolute zero is meant temper
AZURE which cannot get any colder,
which means that no heat whatever
exists or can exist ut that point. This
point is only about $50 degrees below
the zero of our ordinary Fahrenheit
thermometers or 2T3 degrees below the
zero centigrade. To realize what 1t
signifies few words must be placed
here defining heat itself.
Heat is caused simply by the thou
sands OF little molecules in any body
or thing vibrating very fast and thus
sending out waves into the ether
When these waves strike any matter
they cause that matter to become hot.
as we say. Now, the faster these
molecules vibrate the more heat is
given out and the hotter is the body
itself. The slower the molecules the
colder the body. So. IL a condition
did not vibrate at all. why. there could
be no heat. and therefore the body
would be absolutely cold. This con-
dition OF affairs Is reached at the
above mentioned number OF degrees
below our ordinary scales. Ii is need
less to say. however. that this abso-
lutte zero OF heat has never been at
tanned on this earth. the closest ever
reached by man being one degree
above il. This is 2T2 below zero cent?
grade and is the freezing point OF
helium gas. which Il German professor
claims to have frozen at that tempera-
ture
From this theory OF heat a peculiar
view Is obtained or our bodies and
articles OF matter. We would find. il
we had a microscope TO see small
enough. that every BIT of matter Mt
any temperature that we can now get
is seething mass OF moving mole
cules and vibrating particles. One
proof of this is when n metal expands
on becoming warmer. II we weigh IL
we find that hot body weighs no
more than the same body cold. yet il
gets larger. both longer and broader.
To do this ii must be composed Of
moving particles that on becoming ex-
cited get farther apart. Another proof
is that liquids and gases have been
forced through every solid that exists
almost. Thus water has beeu forced
through lead, sulphur dioxide through
iron. etc. The computed size of these
molecules is rather interesting. Ii is
claimed that IL a drop OF water rep
resented the earth the number of mole
cules In the drop would be about equal
20 the number of grains OF sand In
the earth.-Exchange

Also . Sharp Break in Common
Carriers On Friday, Twice
the-13th.

II was Friday twice-the-13th, on Girls
wold-st., corner Fort, but that had
nothing to do with 1t.
Lumber common came down with
crash, the truck that was carrying II
being overloaded with this particular
stock. It was the greatest crash on
Griswold-st. since Frank Andrews
wizard, transformed the City Savings
bank into coal Office.
The street was full of flying boards
and rumors in no time, the most per
sistent story being that the Mussel
man platform of integrity, dignity
and decency had fallen out of head
quarters In the Ford building; out
John Hogan, Detroit, manager. issued
bulletin declaring the rumor
vicious exaggeration. Musselmar
had lost but one plank from his plat
form, to-wit, the MULTIPLICATION clause
That had been dislodged by the recoi
of the Escanaba mud-battery.
The Dime Savings bank, opposite
whose doors the collapse took place
told the holder Of the lumber common
that IL he was delivering 1t for the
magnificent new skyscraper at the
southwest corner Of Griswold and
Fort, he was altogether too previous
that the bank wanted what IL wanted
when 1t wanted 1t. which was not Fri
day twice-the-13th.
Things we're just resuming their
wonted serenity on Griswold and
lumber common was going back to Its
normal condition as fast as the owner
could lift it back, when there was Q
sharp break In hitching straps just
around the corner on Congress
A horse and buggy went on the mar
ket at once, fiuctuating from lively u
frantic as they followed sympathetic
ally the Andrews milk-wagon trail
The horse did its best to start panic
by jumping upon things. automobiles
preferred.
He took his place on the fioor-of 9
motor car standing In front Of the
First National and-it being the clear
ance hour-left the buggy behind a!
IL he expected to do little motoring
himself from that time forward.
II was one of the unusual features
OF the mornings operations on the
street the way that horse ran dowr
the automobile, yet 1t was snoring
distinctly and prancing with the ut
most care, according to bystanders.
Nothing more was upset on Girls
void on Friday twice-the-13th, so New
York and London remained undis-
quieted. But nothing could better II
lustrate the urgent need OF Senator
Aldrich's central bank than these
alarming and unlooked-for develop
ments OF one day In Detroit's finan

MANS POOR MEMORY GIVES
POLICE HEAP OF TROUBLE
Forsets His Horse and Buggy and His
Son and Sets Entire Force OF
Cops On Edge.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 81
The police today are trying to forget
William ID. Scott, of Linnsburg, Mont
gomery county. but the chances are
they won't be able to. SCOTS record
for forgetting Is what makes the au-
thorities want to Danish all thought OF
him from their minds. They are wish
ing they could forget the way Scott
forgets. Here's why:
Tuesday Scott drove into town, for
got he had driven and went home on a
traction car. When he arrived there
he was informed OF his forgetfulness
and wired the police here to search
for his horse and rig. Yesterday he
came to Indianapolis with his 5-year-
old son Fred to get the animal and
vehicle, which the police had found.
He placed the lad In the buggy and
then forgot him. forgot that he had
come for his lost buggy, forgot he was
to drive home in the recovered We
hicle, and absentmindedly rode home
again on the traction line. The police
found the boy, buggy and the horse
last night and took care OF all three,
sending the youngster to the detention
home. Today Scott showed up again
for the boy. the rig and the horse and
the entire police force was on edge
all day until he started for home.
