FROZEN WITH HEAT.
A Remarkable Process Known as the
CaIoric Paradox.

A Remarkable Process Known as the
CaIoric Paradox.
Freezing is usually associated with
cold. but water can be frozen on a red
hot plate. This pretty experiment has
rightly been called the caloric paradox.
If drop of water is placed on red
hot or white hot metal plate 1t does
not suddenly fash into steam under
the influence Of the great heat 1t does
not even boil. 1t simply evaporates
quietly and slowly as it rolls about the
plate. Now, suppose that the drop on
the plate is volatile liquid like sui
phurous acid. 1t will evapOrate. and
this evaporation will produce cold. Let
drop of water fall in the sulphurous
acid drop and it will be frozen in spite
of the heat.
NJ Boutigny thus frOZe water on a
white hot platinum capsule. Faraday
carried this remarkable experiment
even further Pouring some ether and
sOlidified carbonic acid gas on a red
hot platinum capsule, he formed a
spheroidal mass which evaporated very
slowly. He then brought some mer-
curry into contact with it. and this was
instantly frozen. Now. mercury re-
quires a temperature of 40 degrees be-
low zero to sOlidify it, and here it was
frozen on redhOt platinum.

Ne "DeadheadH Trip.

One of the most famous of American
shipping lines in the palmy days of our
marine was the Cope line. which ran
between Philadelphia and Liverpool,
says the author of memoirs of Charles
II. Cramp." By this line John Ran
dolph of Roanoke determined to go TO
Russia when he had been appointed
minister to that country by President
Jackson. Entering the office of the
company in Philadelphia. he said to a
clerk in his usual grandiloquent man
ner:
"Sir, wish to see Thomas F. Cope"
He was shown to Mr.. COpe's Office.

he said 81 wish to take passage to
Liverpool in one Of your ships"

he was grievously disappointed.

the ship and selects thy stateroom and
will pay $3.50 thee may 60"

An Ants Sewing Circle.

A party of German naturalists re-
Gently returned from Ceylon have re-
ported the existence of species Of ant
that has been observed in the act Of
sewing two leaves together for the pur.
pose Of forming a nest. This report
confirms the observations Of the Eng
lish naturalist Ridley, made in 1880
They saw a row of the insects pulling
the edges of leaves together. then 9th
ers trimming and fitting the edges. and
finally the completion OF the work by
still other ants which fastened the
edges with a silky thread yielded by
larvae Of the same species the workers
carried in their mandibles. 1t Is SAID
that the sewing ants pass the thread
giving larvae like shutties through
holes in the edges Of the leaves.-Bos

Association of Commercial Secre-
taries at Greeley few days ago the
school children of Colorado will We
enlisted in post card campaign %

plan of advertising was carried oIt
so successfully last year that it VIII

Last summer the school children CT

the results that the various CONNER
cial bodies of Colorado will unite in
enlisting all the school children of the
state in mammoth advertising CAM
paign for one day.
The date will be set by Secretary
Thorndyke Deland of the Denver
chamber of commerce and in due time

lected from various parts of the state
will be chosen to give lectures to the
children in the various schools of
each city. Prizes will be offered for
the best written story by pupils in the
several grades and the expectation is
that at least 100000 postcards will lie
sent out by this means.
The association also decided to
boost the trout fishing of the state
this season with the issue of about
/ 100000 postcards which the rail
roads are prepared to furnish the
various commercial bodies. Last year
more than 100000 such cards were
sent out. This summer 1t will be made
statewide proposition.
A map showing all the automobile
roads of the state has been issued BY
the association and will be distributed
among the secretaries in the organi-
zation for advertising purposes.
These maps will be sent to motorists
and garages all over the country.
