GREAT HARDNESS OF WATER
Try II by Putting Your Arm Over
board When Riding In
Speed Boat.

Here is a fact which is probably
novel to the average man who has not
spent much of his life thinking about
motor speed boats. This Is what we
may call the hardness of the water
when boat is running at speed.
Water at so miles an hour Is not the
limpid liquid we are accustomed to
battle in. If you put your arm over
board from hydroplane running at
30 miles an hour and strike wave
crest the probability is that you will
break your arm or wrist, because at
that speed the water has not time to
give, not time even to change shape,
and striking it is like striking so
much metal
In the great hydraulic mining noz-
zles, where a stream of water under
enormous head is used to wash down
hillsides, swordsman, in attempting
to cut into one of these streams, will
shatter the sword without being able
to penetrate the water. The stream
is like a bar of iron. The fact that
water at relative speed is so hard
VI tHeiI its ihSiIi 10 so great, W ue d
little more accurate-is the reason
why q skipping stone travels over
the surface, and is the reason why a
hydroplane boat slides over the sur
face instead of blowing It's way
through.
The picture we must have in our
minds, then, of a speed boat is that it
is travelling not in water, as we ordi-
narily understand it, but over the sur
face of a semi-solid, very much as a
sled travels over snow. The hard
ness of water at so miles an hour we
might compare with the hardness of
cheese-at rest.-American Magazine.

Storinn Up Heat.

An inventor in Stockholm, Sweden,
has devised an apparatus, for storing
heat. 1t consists of a mass of heat
absorbing material, in which is placed
a coil of resistance wire. Surrounding
the heat-storing material is heat-insu-
lating material, while at the top is a
damper which may be operated to
permit the heat stored in the maga-
zine to radiate out of the top. The
entire apparatus is inclosed in heat
radiating cover.
To facilitate the radiation of heat
there is a system of air passages
through the heat-storing materials.
The apparatus is adapted to be used
during off-peak periods, storing heat
which may be used as needed.
An experimental apparatus about a
yard high, 25~ inches long and Is
inches wide showed a storing capacity
of about $4,000 kilogramme calories,
while a temperature In the storing
Magazine of about 600 degrees c. or
about LOO degrees F., was obtained.

WHEN JENNIE LIND SALUTED
Beautiful Tribute Which the Great
Singer Once Paid to Our Ma
tional Flag.

There is pretty story told of the
honor Jennie Line once paid to the
American flag. 1t was when she was
in New York, more than 60 years ago.
The frigate st. Lawrence had just re-
turned from cruise, and the midship-
men went to hear the Swedish night
ingale sing at Castle Garden theater,
and the next day they called on her
in body. Their enthusiasm and her
graciousness soon brought about a
visit to the ship and the acceptance
of luncheon rendered her. When
she was about to leave the ship she
looked up at the stars and stripes and
said:
II wish to salute your flag"
So, standing on the gangway, she
sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" ST.
lently from all over the ship men
gathered with uncovered heads, until
the ships family was all assembled
on deck. Nor were they her only au.
dience, for borne upon the still air
her song had been heard by many
other vessels near by, and when the
wondrous voice ceased steamers blew
their whistles and exultant cheers
rose from all sides, filling the harbor
with their tribute of applause for the
beloved artist and of loyal reverence
for the flag she had so beautifully sa.

Keeping up with the increased
cost of all other commodities, the
items which enter into the publica-
ton of newspaper have also felt
the upward movement, and while
it costs much more to issue a coun-
try paper each week than few
years ago, the subscription price
has never been increased. The
time is coming when this will be
changed through necessity, and the
publishers of many of the country
newspapers have been considering
for some time the raising of the
subscription price. Such action
will probably be taken by the be-
ginning of 1915. The present price
received for the country paper
does not pay the cost of the white
paper used, and as the advertising
field is always limited with such
papers the burden falls on the pub
Usher. The price on the farm pro-
duce, groceries, meat, daily labor,
in fact the product of all lines has
doubled, yet the printer is receiving
the same little old dollar or dollar
and half for his paper that was
paid ten years ago. An increase Of
25 or so cents for each subscriber
would be hardly noticed, but the
aggregate would mean much to the
publisher.

Judge Edward S. Matthias of Van
Vert, who is candidate for election
as judge of the supreme court, is
known throughout northwestern Ohio,
where he has served nearly ten years
as common pleas judge and achieved
& record seldom equaled in this great
court of the people. So well and so
satisfactorily have his duties been
discharged that all the attorneys of
nine northwestern Ohio counties have
Joined in resolutions commencing his
services and unanimously endorsing
his candidacy for the supreme bench.
Judge Matthias is a product Of this
section Of the state. He was BON
and grew to manhood in Putnam
county. where he engaged in teach
ing school until he took up the study
of law. After graduating at the Ohio
Northern University he located in
Van Vert, where he served two terms
as city solicitor before he was elected
to the common pleas bench. During
the Spanish-American war he served
with credit as captain in the Second
Ohio infantry. Every duty that has
come to him has been discharged
with ability and fidelity, and his can
Gidacy for the supreme bench now has
the appreciation and cordial support
Of these who regard faithful service
the test of fitness for positions of
public trust.
The map below indicates the resi-
depce of each of the present members
of the supreme court. Northwestern
Ohio is not now represented. An ad-
ditional reason why all voters Of this
section of the state should favor the
election Of Judge Matthias of Van
Vert. 1t should be remembered that
the names of all judicial candidates
are on a separate non-partisan ballot.

She Was the Boss.

There are husbands who, among
their male companions, like to have
it supposed that they are just little
bit tyrannical at home. One such man.
who had two or three friends at his
house one evening, remarked, as they
were chatting together comfortably at
rather late hour:
Eyes, do What like at home. My
wife, she has to bend to my will, / can
tell you. In my house I'm q regular
julius Caesar"
His wife came into the room in
time to hear this last sentence. The
tyrant of his household looked a little
uneasy, but his wife neither frowned
nor. apparently, paid any attention tc
the remark. But, after a moment, she
remarked, very positively:
Gentlemen, it is late, and Julius
Caesar has got to go to bed"
