FindIno Effect Of Heat on Ru,,dln,,


An engineer has invented a delicate
little instrument for studying defects
OF big buildings and steel bridges. Bor-
Ing two tiny holes in any steel girder
OF bridge or building, he puts the
points OF his instrument in the holes,
and then, by sliding the tubes, meas
ures the space between the holes.
When the weather changes, he meas
ures the space between the holes
again. II 1t has increased or dimin-
ished by one ten-thousandth Of an
inch, his instrument detects II. Il
shows the minute strains and move
ments OF few inches OF the steel
work, and from this knowledge 1t il
easy to calculate the total movements
In the structure under the influence Of
wind and sun and frost and other
forces. A slight expansion or short
ening tells that the structure has a
good constitution. A considerable diff
ference In the space between the two
holes indicates that something Ii
wrong.

The doctor replied to the wife:

Holton proceeded to recount his ex-
periences with the girl. beginning with
the incident OF the waiter and the
gold-mesh bag and ending with his
dance and his interview with the de-
t~ective.
Well" responded Mr.. Roosevelt.

forth to seek his partner before the
opening strains of the waltz measure
had died away. He found her stand

he advanced with a smile of greeting
b looked at him with a strange ex-
preston.

Best not what?" Holton stopped
short and regarded her with a look of
amazement-
Best not dance, really" she said
Holton almost glared at her.
"And why not, p~lease?" he asked
stif1y.
The girl stepped impulsively for
ward and placed her hand on his arm.
"Ah, don't" she said. 1T Is for the
best, l tell you Now. please c
me-"
Don't you care to dance with me-"
Holton looked at her curiously.
The girls lip dropped just a bit,
and with that sign of weakness she
was lost, for Holton's strong arm stole

Because l wanted to-" replied Hol-
ton simply. "Oh, l knew you thought

to wriggle out, but I'll show you l am
not at all bad"
She had already discovered that
fact, and. abandoning herself to the
sheer Joy Of the dance. relaxing slight
ly in his arms. she suffered herself to
be guided about the floor.
After the dance Holton led her to
a secluded corner and sat down beside
her.

And you. too" she said.
But why"
She interrupted him by tapping him
with her fan.

card. The next dance is OURS" he
added.
