It Il not easy to imagine liquids %
having pores, though this seems TO- b
the case as shown by certain familiar
experiments. When q certain amount
Of powdered sugar IS slowly poured
into warm water, the water will dis
solve the sugar and appear to absorb
it without increasing its volume. Sim
ilarly, when alcohol is poured into wa
ter the resulting volume Is less than
the sum Of the two volumes.
For instance. II fifty parts OF water
and fifty parts Of alcohol be mixed to,
gether they will make only ninety-four
parts, Apparently one Of the liquids
has entered into the "pores" Of the,
other. This experiment, as commonly
performed in laboratories. consists In
putting measured quantities OF the two
LIQUIDS together, but the effect would.
be far more striking were 1t possible
for students to see one Of the liquids
actually Soaking into the other. This
can be done in the following way:
Take two glasses, one filled to the
brim with water and the other with
alcohol. In order to show the effect
to better advantage, color the alcohol
with red ink. The glasses should not
be over full-that is, the surface Of the
liquid should not bulge above the rim
Of the glass. When everything Is
ready, place sheet Of paper over the
glass full of alcohol, and with hand
on the paper to keep it down on the
rim Of the glass invert the tumbler.
and the liquid will remain in the glass,
owing to the air pressure on the paper.
Now place the inverted tumbler over
the glass full of water and carefully
draw out the paper. This can be done
without splitting drop Of alcohol. and
yet as soon as the paper r removed
the alcohol win commence to drop

The Making Of Laws.

Whatever the matter is with this
country, it is not a lack OF laws
Rather, it seems sometimes, the
troubled is an absurd surplus OF laws.
Not that there is not constant need
Of new laws as new conditions rise.
The difficulty is that legislators OF
! more or less feeble intellect, finding
themselves in the legislature and
deeming it their duty to introduce
many bills and get as many as
possible of them through, produce 9
mass of absurd legislation doomed to
failure from its birth. The inevitable
result is contempt for the law.
Minnesota's anti-cigarette law IS an
example. Well meant, like most such
legislation, it has become q dead
letter, as it was bound to be from the
start. Cigarettes are used in Mime
sofa quite as much under this law
prohibiting their sale as they ever
we're. Yet the law stands on the
statute books, on its face just -
powerful Is the law against murder
but in practice as weak as no law at
all says the Duluth Daily Herald.
Herbert Putnam. librarian OF con-
Rress, has complied . record OF the
new legislation in 1906 and 1907. Con.
gress passed 305 public laws aud 1876
private laws. The states accumulated
new laws as follows, the figures from

Not counting congress or the terri
tories, nor the seven states from which |
there are no returns, here are 16. 96l
new laws put out in two years, which !
In most cases means ct single session
of the legislatures. This is an average
for thirty-nine states of 435 new laws
to each state.
Most of these laws were drafted,
probably, by men poorly equipped for
such work or not equipped at all.
Most of them we're shot through the
legislatures in the rush of the last
days of the session, half digested or
not digested at all. The great majority |
OF them came not in response to !
public need or demand-laws of that
kind, when vital and fund amental, are
usually Unanswered to defeat--but in
respose to the desire of Individual
Legislators to make records for intro |
-ducing and passing bills.

the markets retail price for very
good turkey.
The favor Of all turkeys raised by
careful farmers within FIVE or six
years is much finer than in the run
down stock raised by old fogy farmers.
The Improvement in flavor has also
been accompanied by an increase in
size and tenderness. This is due to
the admixture OF the strain from wild
turkeys from Canada and the south
and the southwest and to the modern
system OF keeping the birds out OF
doors as much as possible and giving
them opportunities for getting plenty
OF mast and the seeds Of wild and
cultivated plants and pure water from
brooks and streams kept clear from
noxious plants and sewage.
The yearly increasing demands from
rich families and from high class
hotels, restaurants and clubs for prime
turkeys has made tracts of land in
New England suitable for turkey rum
ways greatly increase in market value
and has brought about the specializa-
ton OF the raising Of choice birds for
breeding purposes that ind markets
all over North America and In a NUM-
Der of European countries. whereas
turkey eggs for sale to breeders used
to run In price from not more than
is cents up to rs cents each few
years ago. today the highest grades or
eggs fetch from 81 TO 81 each from
turkey farmers.
Turkeys from New England, New
York and Pennsylvania farms were
first taken to Kansas, illinois, Indiana,
Iowa and wisconsin forty or nifty
years ago for the main purpose OF be-
Ing set loose In fields to consume In
sects that destroyed the red and white
clover patches. The turkeys did the
work SO well and were such factors In
eating billions Of grasshoppers and
caterpillars and other pests Of the
farmers that turkeys throughout the
west ara commonly spoken of by the
farmers az featheFed sanitary police.
In the vineyard parts OF California
men make good hvings by going about
with Jocks OF turkeys, which they rent
by the day for freeing the vineyards
from insects hurtful to the vines.
In the order OF turkey production
the states rank as follows: Illinois,
Indiana. Iowa. Nebraska. Missouri and
Texas. In each Of these states the
turkey production for this year win
90 above 100000 birds. Rhode Is

chusetts and New Hampshire produce

is a secondary consideration.
The old local custom among ner-
chants and manufacturers of present

In season for Thanksgiving dinner is
carried out literally by hundreds OF
mining and manufacturing companies
whose main offices are In the wall
street district and whose plants are
scattered through North America. One
local mining concern that has works
and mines In four southwestern states
and In two states OF Mexico has pro-
vided 10000 turkeys and all else for a
Thanksgiving dinner for its married
employees and Ia going to pay for a

that employers In this city and Its
vicinity give between $4,000 and 49,

The first Official thanksgiving day
observed on the island Of Manhattan
was In 1914. The occasion was the re-
turn Of soldiers who had been success
ful against Indians on the warpath in
what is now Weatchester county and
the adjacent parts Of Connecticut. II
appears from q. contemporAneous ac-
count that wild turkeys. veninon and
preserved fruits and wine and spirits
were served to all who attended the
dinner given BY the governor.
