SALT AND ICE.
Tho Process That Begins When the
Two Are Mixed.

Tho Process That Begins When the
Two Are Mixed.
1t is not correct to say that salt dis
solves ice, since real solution only takes
place when a solid, liquid or gas is
dissolved In a liquid.
The true explanation Of the fact that
fee melts when common salt is added
to it depends upon the simple physical
principle that when n salt is dissolved
in water heat is absorbed and its tenn
perature is lowered. When salt and ice
are mixed together some of the salt
dissolves in the small amount of wa
ter which is always present. the tenn
perature is thereby lowered, and new
freezing point is established,
The remainder of the ice, being at
temperature higher than this new
freezing point. slowly melts, and more
salt is dissolved until the solution is
saturated The temperature can in this
way be lowered to % degrees c.. which
is the freezing point of a definite com
pound of salt and water.
The salts dissolved in sea waters
serve a very important purpose, as 1t
requires a greater degree of cold to
cause the formation of ice on them
than on fresh water

WAGES AND SERVICE.

Should man be paid according to
the value Of his work?
Perhaps But suppose your most
valuable workman is a bachelor with
no one but himself to spend his money
upon. Then suppose your poorest
workman has a wife and six children
and finds his wages too small to &c
around. Must the wife and children
suffer because the head Of the family
hasn't the brains or luck to earn good
pay?
That's the way of the world, of
course, but the Hungarian parliament
has been compelled by the sufferings of
men with large families to consider
whether there is not a better way.
Why not pay men according to the
size Of their families? That is the
new idea
The measure under discussion divides
all government employees, including
railroad mer, into two general classes,
known as the upper and the lower.
The upper class will receive an allow
ance Of $40 year for one child, $50 for
two children and $125 for three or
more. The lower class will get one
half of these amounts.
This is paying men according to their
needs-an entirely new principle Or
we might say it is paying for all their
service to society.
