opened a deposit account with a bank

In a city in the north Of England
there is a bank widely known for the

by an eminent sculptor, they are ex-

and appear to represent tableaux from
"Aesop's Fables" and Greek history.
About a week after they were unveil-

DROPS OF WATER.

Thrown Upon . Redhot Stove, They
Will Never Touch It.
It is impossible t throw a few drops
Of water on a redhot stove. The wa
ter can never touch the stove at all.
What is seen is a few drops rolling
rapidly over the surface, gradually
getting smaller until they disappear.
II the drops are on a perfectly level
place one a 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 supplied
by the drop as it gradually goes away.
So the drop rests on a cushion Of va
por until it is entirely dissipated. This
state Of water IL 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 i~ntervenes between
its under surface and the redhot stove
II a 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.
