WATER DOES NOT FALL
 UNLESS AIR ENTERS

Here is an ancient experiment upon which several famous theories have been based. If a vessel of water having hole in the tor
 reveral narrow holes in the bot tom be suspended in the air, nc water will fall from it so long as the upper hole remain closed; as soon as the upper hole is opened the water will fall. You can test this with a gass tube full of water; so long as you keep your finger over the upper end the water will not 'ran ont: the instant you lift yorr i''0"o~ the water drops.
 Vo+ v.a+nr is hnauinr +hon air and according to Aristotle's physics, should fall to the ground. What then keeps it up? Early physi- cists said that the fall of the water would produce a vacuum, and that vacuum cannot exist in nature Roger Bacon said that this argu- ment was fallacy. because va cuum does not exist. He advanced the hypothesis that although by their particular natures water tends downward and air upward, by their nature as parts of the universe they tend to remain in continuity.
 R11f tury earlier than Bacon offered this law of universal continuity. Prof. Lynn Thorndike of Western Reserve University points out in a letter to Nature that Adelard of Bath in dialogue with his nephew about such vessey which they han seen, wrote:
 Eff it was magic, then enchant- ment was worked by violence of na- ture rather than of waters. For although four clements compose the body of this world of sense, they are so united by natural af- lection that, as no one of them desires to exist without another, so no place can be void of them. There fore immediatesly one of them leaves its position, another succeeds it without interval, nor can one leave it's place unless some other, which is especially attached to it can succeed it." Hence it is futile to give the water a chance to get out unless you give the air chance to get in.

COLD SURFACE CATCH
 DUST MORE THAN HOT

The reason that lath and plaster walls become streaked is explained by John Aitken in Nature as due to the tendency of hot air to de- posit it's dust on cold surfaces; and the colder the surface the weaker the power of resistence. So where the laths protect the plaster from the cold outside the plaster receives less deposite of dust than where it is between the laths.
 Wherever hot stream of water pipe comes through a wall ver- tical streak of dust may be seen above it. due to the hot airs driving the dust against the cold wall. Rooms that are heated by open crates are much less dusty than those heatd by radiators, because in the former the furniture is heated principally by radiation, and being warmer than the air, it re- pels the particles of dust instead of catching them, while in the latter the air heats the furniture and iS so doing deposits it's dust on it.
 Rooms lighted by electricity keep clean longer than those heated by as,simply because the light is all most cold. MT. Aitken sums it up as follows. "Any surface hotter than the air keeps free from dnst. ,
