Cecilton, Md.-Mr. George Richards,
Of this place, during the past IL years,
has probably tried more different diets
than the average person would ever use

What he has 10 say about his expert

What is the absolute zero of temper
ature? The zero of thermometers Is
purely conventional The Inventor of
the centigrade simply took for zero
the coldest temperature known In his
day. while Fahrenheit had even less
ground for his selection. Absolute
zero is point hxed 10y nature and
may be arrived at in a variety of
ways. All gases expand or contract
equal amounts for every degree of
heat The amount of ! 273 of their
volume for each degree centigrade.
If, then, gas is cooled down contin-
uously 1t must reach a point Mt which
further contraction is impossible If
a gas loses | -273 of its volume AT each
downward degree of centigrade then
in 273 degrees it would exhaust This

Wis provisior.

Did you ever notice when man
smites his thumb with hammer while
putting down carpet under his wife's
supervision how quickly he thrusts the
bruised and throbbing member into his
mouth? People think 1t is because the
application is soothing But the move
ment is purely involuntarily, like wink
ing The man cannot help It. The
fact is that nature knows what a man
is apt to say under such circumstances
and so has provided him with an auto
matte stopper Whenever he hits his
thumb hard enough to hurt-and it
doesn't take very hard blow almost
to Kill man when be Is doing some
thing he doesn't like to do-by sort
Of interlocking system his thumb flies
into his mouth, and for the critical
moment speech is cut off.
