Effects of Frost.

An egg expands when it is frozen
and breaks its shell. Apples contract
so much that a full barrel will shrink
until the top layer is a foot below the
chine. When the frost is drawn out
the apples assume their normal size
and fill up the barrel again. Some va
rieties are not appreciably injured by
being frozen if the frost is drawn out
gradually. Apples will carry safely In
a refrigerator car while the mercury is
registering fully 20 degrees below zero.
Potatoes, being so largely composed of
water, are easily frozen. Once touched
by frost they are ruined.-Northwest

The travelogues of Charles A.
Payne are unique in that they are
not only interesting and amusing, but
also instructive and packed full OF
facts. For example, one leaves the
Doctors lecture on the Panama Canal
with a definite conception OF that
enormous work, rather than with the
thought that he has seen some pretty
pictures" and enjoyed a number OF
funny stories. He has Travelled SOO,'
600 miles over the world, visiting ev.
cry country. One scarcely realizes
the value of his experience until ne
takes time to compute it in dollars.
At a fiat two cents per mile rate MS
little life trip in search Of information
and amusement for his audiences cost
sixteen thousand dollars for trans
portation alone, not counting other
expenses. The greatest value OF his
long Journey is not to be expressed
In terms of dollars and cents, but In
the fact that he is able to tell what
he has seen for our benefit. Either
his pictures alone or his lectures
would be full of interest; the comb1'
nation is wonderful.
Some say they can read about these
things: but the question is will they?
There is always lacking that intimate
personal touch given to a narrative
when it is told first hand by one who
has been there. The person In the
audience feels that the thing is real
for here is a man who has seen 1t,
and is telling it for his or her bene-
At. The story loses that far away
dream atmosphere of the book story
which after all must be the cold record
In black and white of what some other
man has seen. DR.. Payne brings it to
yeu as living human experiences.
Mr.. Payne will deliver a lee
ture on Old Mexico, Illustrated,
at the Congregational Church,
Thursday evening, Feb. Oath.
