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

A Remarkable Process Known as the
Caloric Paradox.
Freezing is usually associated with
cold. but water can be frozen on a red
hot plate. TIL pretty experiment has
rightly been "a Il the calOric paradox.
Ii drop of water is placed on a red
hot or white hot metal plate it does
not sudden flash into steam under
the inauen Of the great heat. 1t does
not even oil. 1t simply evapOrateS
quietly a. slowly as it rolls about the
plate. 80 w, suppose that the drop on
the plate IS volatile liquid like sui
phurous aid. 1t will evaporate. and
this evaporation will produce cold. Let
a drop of water fall in the sulphurOuS
acid drop and it viii be frozen in spite
of the heat
NJ BoutiEny thus froZe water on a
white hot platinum capsule. Faraday
carried this remarkable experiment
even further. Pouring some ether and
solicited 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 il. and this was
instantly frozen. Now, mercury re-
quires Il temperature Of 40 degrees be
low zero to Solidify it, and here it was
frozen on redh0t platinum.

0vERREAcHED HIMSELF.
Napoleon and the Causes That Led Up
to Waterloo. =


In one way Napoleon possessed de-
feet similar to that of Frederick the
Great. He provided no adequate staff
to relieve himself of details.
1t is likely that his intense desire to
stand alone. in order to receive all the
cret of his action.
Although undoubtedly the greatest
military genius that ever lived, he
overreached himself This is shown
in Il single enterprise like the Russian
campaign, but it is shown in the life
as a whole. He could probably have
accomplished the anomaly, with the
mercurial French, of founding a per-
sonal dynasty upon the French revolu-
ton which beheaded royalty and an
nounced the rights Of man, but when
he attempted to remake the map OF
Europe he reckoned beyond his power.
He realized that the armies Of the re-
public had been animated by passion
for liberty. equality and fraternity, but
he could not understand that his ag-
greSSions upon other countries depriV-
ed his armies Of this moral force and
implanted it in his enemies and that
no skill in strategy and tactics could
long Withstand it, He would not per
NIT a group of great administrators
and military leaders to share his hon.
ors and form around him a cabinet
which might have protected him
against himself And so he plunged
forward, unadyised and talking Of his
star and destiny to his Waterloo

An Ants, Sewing Circle.

that has been observed in the act of
sewing two leaves together for the pur-

confirms the observations Of the Eng

They saw a row of the insects pulling
the edges of leaves together, then 9th

finally the completion Of the work by
still other ants which fastened the

A Light Vote.

After all the complaining done
by the most prominent men in
the different parties including
the candidates themselves, after
all the newspaper and magazine
given to the cause, the vote O.
Nov. 5. was light. Why?
In the nation Governor Wilson
received the largest pOpula-
plurality ever given q candidate
Yet the vote was light. The tC-
tai vote for three leading canli-
dates-Wjlson, Roosevelt and
Taft-ran only about 100000
more than that given the two
leading ones-Bryan and Taft
four years. ago, and since 1908 two
states have been admitted and
some 5000 women enfraa-
ceished.
In Wisconsin the vote was 100
900 short, not coInting the na51-
raj increase. the vote in MilWsl-
kee was behind that Of las
spring, $4,000 registered votes
staying away from the polls.
What's the answer? Are the
people growing tired OF running
their own government? Are
they too busy with hairpeFsonAl
affairs? Are they disguised
with the all year round s!edge
hammer campaigning? Are
they surfeited, with oratOry and
had so much heavy verbal am
munition used'on them that they
are fire proof?
Something is the matter.
And that something whatever it
may be. is the greatest danger
facing this nation today Not
withstanding that the voters
chose for their president the
best man of the five that they
chose the best principles, the
fact that so many of them have
neglected their privilege and
duty and shown no interest IN
its affaias, is a great snd positive
danger. Americans should re-
gard this light vote with great
cancern. There is no danger SO
great as that of neglect. Mil.

Beware of Cousins!

Cousins are not as simple as they seem. The very fact of beiEg cousin. or having cousin, is complicated. The laissez-faire of cousinship is both eluding and deluding cousins will be cousins, even if you did not choose them. They can borrow money from you, visit you without being asked, tell people they belong 10 your family. contest your will, even fall in love with you-and cousin once removed is twice as apt to. Never completeiy trust a cousin-neyer depend on his not doing any of these things. Never take him for granted. The "cousinly kiss" may or may not mean what 1t means.
