WONDERFUL VACUUM.
Science Can Produce It Almost to the
Point of Perfection.

Scientists have succeeded in getting
what is practically perfect vacuum
have succeeded in taking all the air
out of space except the one hundred
and fifty miIlionth of it. AS long as
they had to deal with the old time so
called suction pump very low vacuums
were impossible on account of leakage.
The mercury pump was relied on to
give the better vacuums. but that took
a long time indeed Then the Gaede
pump and before that the Geryck
pump improved matters somewhat.
The device now used is as ingenious
as 1t is swift and reliable. Suppose
that we have a sealed tube containing
air. IL we place this i'm liquid hydro
gen the air in a few minutes becomes
a solid in the bottom of the tube. If
all the air were frozen we should have
a perfect vacuum left, but air con-
tains what the chemist calls traces"
of several inert and hard to freeze
gases. two of which are helium and
neon. The tiny amount of these rare
gases found in the air is, of course.

has been liquefied also. AS liquefied
helum is the coolest thing obtainable.
it will not freeze any more of itself.
To make the vacuum more complete.
however. it was decided to put some
charcoal i'm the tube. 1t had long been
known that hot charcoal had the pow
err to absorb or 'Occlude" gases. but
little was known about its power when
as cold as liquid air. a great surprise
was in store for the first man to try it,
however. for it was found that it alb
sorbed great deal more when very
cold than when warm. in some cases
seven or eight times as much. SO the
charcoal placed in the space absorbed
good part of the gases remaining.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Do You know Your Age and the Year

DO You know your age ana tne year
and Day of Your Birth?
How old are you? When were you
born? See If you really know. See If
your children know how old they are.
until you try the test.
According to recent issue Of the
United States public health service re-
ports. it is q common occurrence to find
school children, even high school pu-
pills in the junior and senior years,
who cannot tell how old they are, or
who. If they know their age, cannot
tell accurately In what year they were
born
You will need this information when
you apply for II marriage license, or In
registering for voting. or in seeking
government position. or In case you
claim that you are heir to a fortune
that is going to some other person.
You may have to go under oath as to
your age when you pay your custom
duties upon return from your next
European trip. So you should practice.
In some of our states there Is no
birth registration, so you may not be
able to prove from the records that
you ever were born. This might be
embarrassing to you II you want to
marry in Europe.
Perhaps the easiest way TO remember
your age is TO form some jingle or
rhine on your birth year For in
stance. "In 1897 little Johnnie came
from heaven" or in 1882 little Susie
began to boo" Never mind what the
rhine is, just SO you remember il. and
II. after reaching the age of forty, you
want to prove that you are only TWEEN
ty-three years old. just change the
rhine and perhaps people will believe
you when you repeat the jingle to
prove your youth.
