IA the northern countries of Eu-
rope to Christianity was sys-
tematically entered upon by the early

influence in securing proselytes. there

Gisella, the queen of Hungary, were
leaders in their own countries, no Gel

Patrick seems to have had the chief
work, as he has the chief glory, in con-

of the Emerald Isle.
Sent to Ireland by Pope Celestine in
the early part of the fifth century, he
confined his labors to no special part Of
the country, but visited every chieftain
and province in turn. To Welsh in

other prisoners, many neophytes and

VARIETIES OF HEAT.
Curious Effects of Beams of Light I'm
der Different Conditions.

To the ordinary layman heat is
heat, with no variation save IN IN
tensity. Yet science says that sew
eral varieties of heat exist and
starts in to prove it. What will heat
one thing will not heat another,
while some things are susceptible
to nearly all kinds.
Take a glass lens and focus the
light from an electric arc upon an
air thermometer several feet away.
An air thermometer is made of
glass and air and tells ordinary tenn
peratures as well as any kind. 1t
will be found, however, that this
beam of light has no effect on it,
does not raise it in the slightest.
The explanation is that the glass
lens stops all heat waves that affect
glass, while the intervening air
stops all waves that affect air, so
when the beam gets to the Their
mometer it is powerless as far as
heat that affects glass and air is con-
cerned. Yet if you put your hand
in the focus blister will be burned
in short order, or if the bulb of the
thermometer is painted black this
will get hot and send the index up,
Warren tells of an experiment by
means of which a strong and very
hot raw was sent through cake of
/ ice without melting the ice par
ticle. It was done by interposing a
transparent tank of water between
the lens and the ice, the water tax
ing all the heat capable of affecting
water or ice and becoming hot it
self, while the ice remained undis-
turbed. Yet gunpowder may be ex-
ploded by means Of the rays trans
mitted through ice.
Nearly all heat from the sun will
pass through glass, but it has been
found that from white hot platinum
the glass absorbs one-fourth of its
total heat. The most astounding ex-
pertinent was made with copper
heated to whiteness. It was found
that the glass through which it tried
to 90 absorbed nineteen-twentleths,
allowing only one-twentieth to go
through. !
As is well known, heat from the
sun comes through glass with facil-
ity into room and heats up objects
in the room. The objects change
this heat to dark rays, and it cannot
get out again. If glass transmitted
a majority Of the heat waves from a
hot stove we should most certainly
have to have winter rooms without
windows or else lose all our heat.
Along the same lines is the method
of the earth in retaining the heat of
the sun through the night. The att
mosphere allows almost all the suns
heat to pass through to the earth,
but there the waves are changed
and cannot get out.
A possibility of some interest is
pointed out by Warren. 1t IS that
r some planets that do not receive so
much heat rs the earth may have Il
different kind Of atmosphere which
keeps in more heat than does ours
I and therefore can have as great a
= temperature as ours. If We kept all

This Mexican, though a tremendous

Their instructions were to prevent the

GIRLS BODY FOUND IN LAKE.
Mystery Surrounds Disappearance of
Myrtle Hawkins, OF HendersOnville.

Asheville, N. c., Sept. 10.--The
mystery of the sudden disappearance
last Thursday Of Miss Myrtle Haw-
kins, Of Hendersonville, aged II and
remarkably pretty, the daughter Of
a prominent family, was apparently
deepened this morning when her
dead body was found floating in the
waters Of Lake Osceola, three miles
from Hendersonville.
The discovery was made by three
small boys who were fishing In the
lake. Deep bruises on the head and
face gave rise to the suspicious Of
foul play, which, however, did not
materialize at the coroner's inquest
this afternoon when verdict Of
death by means unknown" was rem
dered.
Miss Hawkins, who was the daugh-
ter Of w. II. Hawkins, a jeweler Of
Hendersonville. left her home last
Thursday to do some shopping. She
never returned. Despite the most
rigid search no trace Of her was OBJ
tanned until this morning when the
body was found In badly decom-
posed condition.
1t Is stated that certain evidence
indicates that the girl was dead be-
fore her body had reached the lake
Reports from IIendersonville to-
night are to the effect that later de-
velopments may prove the death of
the young girl to be one of the most
sensational tragedies in the history
of the State. Lake 0sceola front Is
Lake View Inn and It's banks are
traversed daily by hundreds of car
riagts and motor cars.
Accounts Conflict.
Ashevillc, Sept. 1.-THE theory
OF suicide is now disregarded in the
finding Of the body of Miss Myrtle
Hawkins in Osceola Lake.
The general belief now is that the
girl was brutally murdered and sus-
picion is ccntering upon a man whose
trail is being hotly Followed Indi-
cations point to the fact that she
was murdered, but not robbed or
assaulted.
The condition Of the body shows
that life was extinct when placed in
the water and that 1t could not have
been there many hours.
1T is said that opposition existed
to Myrtle's approaching marriage to
young business man Of johnson
City, Tenn. Believing she had eloped
with him, her parents, it is said, dis
liking publicity, instituted search
on this theory without asking the
aid Of officers.
While the body was in a horrible
| state Of decomposition, there were
| no bruises on the body, but there
were evidences Of chloroform having
been used to bring about her death.
