OUGHT TO HAVE SCALES.
State Inspector Says This County and
City are Neglected..

ut is a positive disgrace that
Dickinson county has no test scales
for weights and test measures" said
John Kleinhans, state inspector, who
was in town. "The law requires
the county to provide them. Until
scales are tested no one knows wheth-
er his scales are right or not"
The state inspectors ere beginning
new work. Plain clothes men are
being sent out 10 various towns to
weigh loads of coal after the wagons
leave the yards and then call for
the tickets. In case of shortage
arrests will follow. There promises
to be some fun soon. 1t is not known
when they will be at work but they
may be expected any time and with
out notice. The whole state is to
be covered and heavy fines will fol-
low when shortage is found.

Miners win Demand Higher Ware.

miners VIII Oem2nd HlGher WanS.
The coal miners throughout the
United States are preparing to reOpon
the question of wages after Jan. 90 A
demand for increased pay is expected
1t may cause a marked increase in the
present prices of coal.
The miners declare that they need
higher wages because of the increased
cost of living. This stand is part of tae
general movement of organized labor
begun by the switchmen and railroad
brotherhOods. The movement has al
ready spread to practically all the
branches of railroad labor.
at is true that the mine workers
will take up the question of wages
said John Fitzpatrick, president of the
Chicago Federation of Labor. 81 do
not see the necessity of higher priced
coal, though, even if the miners get
increases.
when coal which costs $3.50 ton
n the United States can be bought for
1920 a ton in Canada there is some
thing more than the question of wages
boosting the price"

Thrown Upon Rsdhot Stove, They

It is impossible to throw few drops
Of water on a redhot stove The wa
ter can never touch the stove at all.
What is seen Is few drops rolling
rapidly over the surface. gradually
getting smaller until they disappear.
II the drops are on q 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 gapor is supplied
b. the drop as it gradually goes away.
SO the drop rests on q cushion Of va
por until It is entirely dissipated. This
state of water Is known ais the spheroi-
dal state and IS Of interest simply on
account Of Its popularity and seeming
" paradoxieal behavior
The reason why the drop is not ini
mediately evaporated or changed to
steam is also very interesting The
water gapor that intervenes between
Its under surface and the redhot stove
is very bad conductor Of heat, aud
