FREEZING BOILING WATER.

Il Sounds Queer, but to Science 1t 10
an Easy Matter.
Water may be boiled and frozen both
at the same time. The idea Is little
startling, but the explanation is simple
enough. The temperature at which
water boils depends purely on the air
pressure Of its surface. II the air
pressure Is high the water must be
made a good deal hotter to boil than Ia
necessary at low pressure.
On mountains, where the air pres
sure is lower than at sea level, water
boils easily at low temperature. In
cooking vegetables of all kinds GER
tain degree Of heat is required, and
where water boils before that vegeta-
bles won't cook. Consequently they
have to be put In closed boiler 80
that the generated steam will create
pressure for the water to boil beyond
the required temperature.
For On experimental proof OF this
fact the water Is placed in q vessel
and the air exhausted above the sur
face of the water. AS the process or
pumping goes on the water Will boil
violently, the steam congealing on the
sides of the exhaust vessel. If the
pumping is continued long enough and
the outside is cooled below the freez-
ing point of the water the water will
continue boiling and bubbling until 1t
Is q mass Of ice.
This fact Is made use of in estimat-
ing the height of mountains. At sea
level water boils at PIP degrees E.
This principle does not apply to water
alone, but to all liquids.-Chlcago Trb-

HICKEN ORDINANCE CARRIES

THE CITY of Duluth is rapidly
coming to the front as one OF
the cities in the country that
believes in the enforcement OF
laws and this was more forclbly
demonstrated last Tuesday
when special election was held
to vote on what is known as the
Hicken Liquor Ordinance, ana
the people of Duluth passed the
measure by a small majority
despite the tremendous IN
fluence used by the brewery
and saloon interests OF the city.
This ordinance, which the
the brewery interests consider
ed a very radical measure, will
place in the hands of the public
safety department OF Duluth
powers which will enable it to
enforce the liquor laws. The
ordinance provides for the taking
away of screens in saloons. do
ing away with brewery CONTROL,
compelling saloons to occupy
the front rooms on the street,
and other features considered
radical. yet the people OF the
city of Duluth saw fit to pass
the measure and place additional
power in the hands of the
department of public safety
It is only a short time ago
that the city of Duluth went
under Commission form and
elected a set Of officers who
believe in the enforcement OF
laws. The first step in this
direction was the routing out OF
the fred light district" and this
was effectually accomplished
The next step toward law and
order and decency was the
driving out Of the low dive
saloons. Here the public safety
department met with obstacles
and the Hicken Liquor Ordinance
was framed to meet these
obstacles. A petition was Cir
culated demanding that the
ordinance be submitted to vote
of the people and the brewery
interests hoped in this way te
defeat the measure but the
people of Duluth have upheld
their com missioners and have
given them the additional power
asked for.
Duluth, by it's stand, is setting
an example for the rest of the
country to follow.

er ponderous authors were being dis

stairs a squirrel in a cats mouth. and
behind them a distracted hOusemaid.
Furness leaped from the solemn pro-

the front room, where he met the cat,
the squirrel and the maid. The cat
dropped the squirrel. which began run

The German professor could not see

Its Meat When Cooked Tastes Lilo
Mashed Potatoes and Milk.
One of the gifts OF the eastern trop-
les to the western is the breadfruit,
which is now extensively planted In
the West Indies. This can be done
only by cuttings, as the cultivated va
riety develops no seeds. In the Wild
form the chestnutlike seeds are eaten,
but the pulp is disregarded. The tree
is of moderate height, but spreads a
broad crown Of large, ragged edged,
glossy leaves, making an excellent
shade.
The fruit, which is a compound or
the massive clusters Of blossoms, Is
about the size of a cocOanut and Is In
cased in a rough rind. This, when
baked in hot embers or In an oven,
broken open and scooped out with a
spoon, tastes like mashed potatoes and
milk or like sweet bread, which it also
resembles in appearance. 1t Is little
aibrous toward the center, but else
where is quite smooth and 'puddingy."
Sometimes q curry or stew Is made OF
it, and it goes well as a vegetable with
meat or gravy. with sugar, milk,
butter or treacle," Wallace wrote, 1T
is a delicious pudding, having a very
slight but delicate and characteristic
flavor, which, like that of good bread
and potatoes, one never gets tired Of"
1t is also highly nutritious.
The genus (artocarpus) contains sew
eral species, one Of which, the jack
fruit, Is also cultivated for eating. The
timber Of the tree is also useful, the
bark can be prepared for a sort OF
cloth and the sap forms, when boiled
with oil, q mucilaginous liquid very
useful for making the seams OF wood

by yourself, and don't forget that
whatever you may see or hear In the
night you must not scream out, for II
you give as much as a single cry my
sufferings will be doubled"
The good natured princess at once
left her home and her family and hur-
ried to the ruined castle and took pos
session of the room with the golden
bed.
When night approached she lay
down; but, though she shut her eyes
tight, sleep would not come. At mid
night she heard, to her great horror,
some one coming along the passage.
and in a minute her door was flung
wide open, and a troop of strange be-
ings entered the room. They at once
proceeded to light fire in the huge
fireplace. Then they heated a caldron
of water boiling hot on it. When
they had done this they approached
the bed on which the trembling girl
lay, and, screaming and yelling all the
time, they dragged her toward the
caldron. She nearly died with fright.
but she uttered not a sound. Then OF
a sudden the cock crowed, and all the
evil spirits vanished.
| At the same moment the crow ap-
peared and hoped joyfully around the
room. 1t thanked the princess hearth
Iy for her goodness and said that its
sufferings had already been greatly
llessened.
| So she lived in solitude all the day
time and at night she would have been
frightened had she not been SO brave.
but every day the crow came and
thanked her for her endurance and as
sured her that his sufferings were far
less than they had been.
And so two years passed away, when
one day the crow came to the princess
and said: "In another year shall be
freed from the spell I am under at
present, because then the seven years
will be over. But before can resume
my natural form and take possession
Of the belongings of my forefathers
you must go out into the world and
take service as a maidServant."
The young princess consented at
once, and for whole year she served
as a maid, but in spite Of her youth
and beauty she was badly treated and
suffered many things. One evening
when she was spinning fax and had
worked her little white hands weary
she heard a rustling beside her and a
cry Of Joy. Then she saw handsome
youth standing beside her, who knelt
down at her feet and kissed the little
weary white hands.
II am the prince he said, whom
you In your goodness when was wan
dering about In the shape Of a black
crow freed from the most awful tor
ments. Come now to my castle with
me and let us live there happily to-
gether.''
So they went to the castle where
they had both endured so much. But
when they reached 1t 1t was difficult
to believe that it was the same, for 1t
had all been rebuilt. And there they
lived together for hundred years.
