Licuid Air Will Produce a Worss
 Wound Than Intense Heat.
 Whoever has applied a moistened finger to a piece of frosty metal in winter well remembers the painful ex- perience thereby gained of the fact that cold as we'll as heat can blister the skin.
 During some experiments in the pro- duction of excessively low tempera- lures Pictet. the French investigator, burned himself with cold several times. and the effects were so remarkable that he deemed them worthy of description to body of scientific men.
 It appears that there are two kinds or degrees of cold burn. In the case of the less severe burns" the skin at first turns red. but becomes blue the next day. The inflamed spot swells, and Il period varying from a month to six weeks elapses before the wound heals.
 B When the contact with the cold sub stance is longer and more complete Il burn of the second degree is produced. A malignant and stubborn wound is formed, and the process of healing Is very slow.
 < A drop of liquid air falling on Pic did not completely henl in six months. while n scorch from heat accidentally inflicted on the same hand and nearly at the same time was healed in ten or twelve ys.-Harper's Weekly.

The Makinas of . Diplomat.

A Labouchere anecdote is given in the volume of recollections by Sir Henry Lucy Croby, NJ. P.), to whom 1t was told by Labby himself. 1t con cerned the younger son of a peer, who thought that a berth In the diplomatic service was as desirable place as any for one who took life rather easily. He knew nothing of the special sub jects upon which the preliminary ex- animation, was based, but there was at least the promise of lark. AS far as he could make out. he did not supply a single correct answer to the long list of questions. Nevertheless he came out first in the competition. It was a surprise even for n confident young lordling Meeting one of the exam iners at dinner a few days later, he Ventured to ask how the thing came about. We at once saw you knew nothing" was the reply. But your manner was so free from constraint under what to some people would have been peculiarly embarra Ssing circum- stances that we said to each other, That's the very man to make diplO- matist.'

The Danqerous Aae.

As the thirties slip behind him the wise man will train himself to realize that the good old days" when he could do exactly as he liked and not pay for it have gone forever. Gone are the days when fatigue from extra work and lOss- of sleep speedily passed of when the stress of work had ended At forty recuperation takes longer. Both brain and body when once thor oughly overworked and tired out are likely to remain below par for days or weeks. The body may not be in the least diseased. but it Is not so strong as 1t once was and requires more thought and care. The reason that so many men suffer from III health in the fifties Is that they neglect these signs and live throughout the dangerous age at the same pace and with the same waste of vital energies as In the twen- ties. The abuse their systems receive in the dangerous years" leave them with no reserve stamina and vigorous health to support them into hale and hearty old age.-LondOn Family Her alH

He put a whole orange, rind and all. into his mouth and then managed to thrust as many pieces of sugar as possible into his cheeks. This achieved, he began to scrunch it all up with his lips tightly closed. In the midst of this operation he swallowed two liqueur glasses of kirsch and few minutes later opened his mouth wide. It was empty! No one made any attempt to initiate him. possibly because no one else had teeth good enough for such feat"

A Chilly Forecast.

The earth is growing in bulk on ac- count of the meteoric dust that falls on it. It has recently been estimated that 100 tons fall daily over the surface of the globe. and that millions of years hence this will have increased the thickness of the earth considerably. This would have tendency to bring us closer to the sun. But centrifugal force is augmented at the same time in greater proportion and counteracts this tendency; consequently the earth would be swept away from the sun. with the result that its distance from that body would be considerably augmented. This is spoken of as having possibly happened to some of the larger outer planets, notably Jupiter, in the remote paSt-Harper'S
