SALT AND ICE.

Tho Process That Begins Whom tho
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
ice melts when common salt is added
to it depends upon the simple physical
principle that when a salt is dissolved
In water heat is absorbed and it's tenn
,perature isslowered. 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 a
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 very important purpose, as it
requires greater degree of cold to
cause the formation of ice on them
/ than on fresh water.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.
The land of the midnight sun. "

1.-The land of the midnight sun
Toward this fascinating and mystic
rious land the eyes of the world have
been trained during the past few
weeks.
And with some reason.
For in this picturesque setting were
held the greatest series of Olympic
games yet given since the Inaugural
ton of this world athletic meet.
The Scandinavians do with thor
oughness whatever they undertake.
Hence when the Olympiad was plac-
ed in Stockholm they proceeded to a
campaign of publicity and invitations
never before attempted by arrange
ment committees.
So that the interesting spectacle of
contests taking place between the
picked athletes of the four continents
has been one hypnotizing their vari-
Gus compatriots.
South America and Asia alone were
unrepresented.
Five Olympiads have been held, the
6rst in 1896, the others every four sue
ceeding years, Athens, Paris, St. Louis,
London and Stockholm having been
the respective environs, Berlin to be
the place of meeting in 1916.
In each of these famous displays of
prowess the United States has walked
off with the honors, getting away with
one hundred and twenty points at this
meet, the Swedes ranking second with
.-I -
with fifty-eight.
The United States, however, has
never won the Marathon.
Although leading in every other
form of athletics, the Americans have
never distinguished themselves as
long distance runners.
In this latest exhibition of endur-
ance however the United States came
in third-a little less than two min
utes behind the winner, a South Afri,
can.
For South Africa carried off this
event not only in the first but in the
second.
And the fact that the winner was an
ex-policeman made the capture no less
notable.
Let the policemans union memorial
ize Macarthur.
No longer can they be made the butt
of the jokesmith and the target of the
cartoonist.
The policeman has been indicated
He can run a marathon when he has
a fair field and no favor.
Hats off, then, to Macarthur.
One thing that has been demon
strated in the last series, too, is the
superiority of the horsemanship of the
officers of the U. S. army, in one ev.
ent lieutenant from this country
ranking fifth where there were over
forty entries, the latter being made
from the flower of the European cav.
airy.
The fact that the other four We're
Swedish officers, familiar with the
country and riding the horses upon
which they had practiced and that
the U. S. Army officer rode a strange
animal and also that he came in
fourth ahead of the picked riders from
those continental countries which
make boast of their cavalry, makes
a fine showing for this country's mill.

fine truth and virility.
The Olympic games may expand and
intensity in the future but never again
will they have the fascinating setting
given them by the Swedes.

the State for faithful services rendered
by legislators thus takes a form which
can neither be appreciated by the objects
OF its bounty nor applauded by those who
are involuntary contributors to funds
for funeral baked meats and junkets
to the graves Of the honorable departed.
Itemized accounts Of such expenditures
probably would not increase the popu-
larity Of the Albany custom. At the
present average expense Of burying a
member of the Legislature, It would be
economy to give the lawmakers free OF
charge the best medical attention, with
long vacations at health resorts, also
at the expense Of the taxpayers.

Safety on the River.

A few days work by officials in
trusted with the protection of traffic
on the Potomac River has been enough
to prove that the laxity of discipline
which a recent tragedy helped to bring
most forcibIy' before the people was
unnecessary, and will be equally un-
necessary and reprehensible in the fu-
ture if the previous deplorable condi-
ton should ever be permitted to re-
turn.
/ The statement of officials that they
had no funds wherewith to discharge
one of the most important functions
and duties of their Offices was interest
ing, but not complete as an answer to
the demands of the people, whose justly
indignant protestations required a re-
sponse in achievement, not in explana-
ton.
The achievements have been creditable
to the officials, and, so far, satisfactory
to the people. There is no reason to
fear that they will be otherwise. Both
the officials and the people should not
permit themselves to forget.
The Washington Herald, which in
stituted the campaign for Improvement
is justly proud of its work for the
people.

THE WATERS, BItNpER.
Lose Public sympathy After Dinner

Lose Public sympathy After Dinner
to German Naval Visitors.
From the New York Tribune.
The striking walters have had and de-
served little public support from the be-
ginning OF their demonstration. They
will retain none after their attempt to
interfere with the Mayors dinner to the
visiting German naval officers and create
a riot outside the hotel. That was the
act not OF men seeking to gain justice,
but OF lawless individuals trying to in
timidate others by a show OF force and
so acquire benefits for themselves. It
received a proper rebuke at the hands
Of the police. who were efficient beyond
question on this occasion.
From the moment the striking walters
insisted on recognition Of the union as
a matter OF upholding the prestige of
the union organizers. The employers in
almost every case had agreed to the de-
mands for better wages and working
conditions. But the professional agita-
tors were not content with anything
less than the closed shop" The public
took no interest in the attempt to bull
doze the employers, except as II was
inconvenienced a little at the beginning
Naturally the strike has languished. No
more unwise way Of seeking to restore
It to vitality than the endeavor to break
up the Mayors dinner, affront the c!ty's
chief executive, and embarrass the dis
tinguished visitors could have been de-
vised.

Senate Vagaries on Salaries.

That august body, the United States
Senate, discussing the standing of
government employees, has brought out
remarkable statements from some of the
dignihed Senators. These are so at va
rance with the manner the big business
interests of the country are conducted
that The Herald can but wonder if the
affairs Of the United States generally
are run on a wrong basis and those of
Uncle Sam are the only properly man.
aged ones.
Senator Hepburn upset all existing
beliefs when he said government clerks
should not be given permanent employ
ment Possibly we do not correctly un-
derstand his position, but The Herald
has always believed that the efficiency
of an employe was increased when he
or she did not have TO worry about the
next weeks employment
The Senator's reference to the mt
nihcent" salary paid by the government
is evidently intended as a joke, because
the pay roll of all employees can be easily
obtained, and the figures show that this
"munihcent" salary exists only in i'm
sgination
Senator Clapp would limit clerks
term of Office to FIVE years. That means
he would prohibit a clerk trying to buy
a home, would stop him from becoming
married, and in general way would
make It compulsory for government en-
ployes to have just one aim-get all the
money possible, save II, and when his
time was up so back whence he came
Civil service rules. Of course, would
have no weight, and consequently eff
cheney would give way TO the general
idea of the employe to get through his
work as easily as possible.
The Herald refuses to entertain the
idea that the Democrats, in the expec-
tation that their party will be success
full this fall, would abolish the civil
service rules that have been so la
boriously built up and take up the per-
nicious system of the years gone by,
TO the victor belongs the spoils."
1t would be we'll for the Senate to re-
member that many Of those now holding
clerical positions in Washington have
given the best years of their lives to
their work, that they are no longer fit
to start the battle over again, and the
government is morally bound to look
after those whose days work is done
Senators Poindexter, Lodge, and
others, who realize the danger of the
tendency to undermine the civil serv-
ice, will have the support of Repub-
licans and Democrats in their efforts to
protect that system.

Should Be Vetoed.

Considering the matter from a purely
legislative aspect, the President is per-
fectly justified in announcing that he
would veto the act aboIishing the Fed
eral Commerce Court, especially since
the deliberate cutting off of FIVE Federal
judges-without due process of I'M
peachment-clearly is unconstitutional.
As usual, Congress is doing either too
much or too little Besides, there is a
good deal of retaliatory action in the
peremptory step against the judges,
which had not been thought of until
the Senate was told of the Presidents
intention to veto the act nullifying the
establishment of the commerce tribunal
In this the Senate did wrong. A Fed
eral judge, once appointed under the
law, cannot be removed by anything
short of impeachment by a vote of the
Senate. Wednesdays action clearly is
unconstitutional, and several of the
great lawyers among the Senators
themselves so contended. OF course,
the FIVE Judges ousted were appointed
for the special purpose of serving on
the Commerce Court and this argu-
ment no doubt will throw the entire
matter into the courts for decision.
The action itself is very significant,
as it opens a vista for Congress to re-
move judges by other means than i'm
parchment The President has ex-
pressed himself as unalterably opposed
to any such measures being enacted.
His veto at this late day in the session
would mean nothing more than a sec
ond consideration of the bill, as the
Legislative, judicial, and executive ap-
preparation bills must be passed before
Congress adjourns, and unless the two
thirds vote in each House can be Sc
cured to pass it over Mr.. Taft's veto,
the Commerce Court bill would be
sent to the White House again, most
probably with the provision objection
able to the President eliminated.
The President remains of the opinion
that the Commerce Court is necessity
to promptly and effectively enforce the
Interstate Commerce act, and that it
would be- approved by the people and
the railroads when once the, Supreme
Court will have defined its limitations.

grew by leaps and bounds. To-day he
IS rated as an extremely wealthy man.
