An Easy Way to Make the Growth o.
Ice Crystals Visible.
1t is not commonly known that fresh
water may sometimes be colder than
lee and that the growth of ice crystals
may be made plainly visible. An in
teresting experiment to show this may
easily be made.

water Make a hole In the stopper
large enough to let the thermometer
pass through it. The kind of Their
mometer used in physical laboratories
is most convenient. Insert the stop
perrin the bottle and let the thermome-
ter reach nearly to the bottom.
Pack snow or ice and salt round the
bottle as you would pack an Ice cream
freezer. If the bottle is not Jared
the temperature may be seen to drop
several degrees below the freezing
point without freezing the water.
If the stopper and thermometer ara
now removed and a small piece Of ice
free from any trace of salt Is inserted
in the bottle and pushed down into the
water crystals Of ice may be seen ia
shoot out in all directions from it
After this experiment has been tried

Antiquity Of This Now Popular Cock
ing utensil.
The chatting dish is not utensil Of
modern invention. Looking backward
over history's pages, many illusions
are made to its use. Among the ruins
Of Pompeii have been found bronze
chatting dishes Of unique designs, and
Mommsen. III his .Romische Geschich-
te." asserts that in those days a well
wrought cooking machine came to cost
more than an estate. Louis XIV. took
much delight in cooking and, accord
ing to Goncourt. often amused himself
by making .quintessential stews in sill
yer pans.' The palate Of Louis XIV.
was often tickled by piping hot dish
es brought in on a chatting dish"
Napoleon Bonaparte, when laying
down. the affairs of war and enjoying
home life for short period, cooked in
silver chatting dish an omelet for the
enjoyment of the empress and himself.
Nine. Recamier. the beautiful and in
tellectual society leader. used the chat
ing dish. while Nine. de Stael, the
greatest woman in literary history,
when exiled from her beloved France
took with her the chafing dish.
We of today are doing much to keep
alive the true spirit of hospitality by
bringing the chatting dish into popular
use-Woman's Home Companion.

ron or Campbell or any of the others
to whom this poem was variously
ascribed would doubtless have been
proud to claim 1t. But the author was
the obscure curate Of Ballyclog, in
Tyronne, Rev. Charles Wolfe. and
the fame Of the piece was but a pos
thumous fame for him. Not until his
death, of consumption, in 1923, at the
early age of thirty-two, did'the author
ship become known to the world. And
Wolfe, who wrote much other verse
of merit. is remembered only by that
one poem, which sprang from the COL
