Tonight Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Mic

with seven~stitz~ dogs. The dogs have
been raised in Nymore and have been
trained by Mrs. Nichols. They do

plat out the land in small tracts of
five and ten acres, to be cleared for
raising produce for the proposed

land contracts, the land being dis

reasonable terms. -.

As might be expected, a walrus is
about as helpless on land as a canal
boat 1t is with no little difficulty and
much hitching and fioundering that he
drags his huge bulk upon a sandy shore
even with the boosting he gets from
behind by the breakers as they roll in
and dash against him.
His hind fippers are of little use Oh
land, and on sand or pebbles, where
his front fiippers do not hold well, the
labor Of foundering forward is so greal
that he never stirs beyond the edge OF
the water and usually lies with hi>
body half awash, with the salt spray
dashing over him like torrents OF rain
On solid rock or fee he gets along
much better, and often a herd viii
spread several rods back from the WI
ter's edge.

more freedom OF motion than the old
males, who actually seem great bui

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. This pretty experiment has
rightly been called the caloric paradox.
If drop of water is placed on red
hot or white hot metal plate it does
not suddenly fash into steam under
the influence of the great heat. It 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 q volatile liquid like sui
phurous acid 1t will evaporate, and
this evaporation will produce cold. Let
a 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
white hot platinum capsule. Faraday
carried this remarkable experiment
even further. Pouring some ether and
solidifed 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

The congregation followed in bewfl-

pastor with flying robe rush into the

turning round, he faced his astonished
audience and said:
Dearly beloved brethren, / am not
crazy. as no doubt many OF you think,
but yesterday at the drug store bought
a bottle of nitric acid and carelessly
left 1t in my pocket today.
my last gesture broke the bottle. I
knew the suffering the acid would cause
when it penetrated my clothing and

He drew several pieces of glass from
his pocket in witness Of the tale. Then
he dismissed the company and hurried
