A Heat Phenomenon.

A workman in the observatory at
Toulouse invited attention to a
singular phenomenon. A bar OF
iron is taken by one end and the
other end is plunged into fire,
heating it highly, but not so much
that the hand cannot retain its hold.
The heated end is then plunged
into a pail of cold water. 1mmedi-
ately the other end becomes SO hot
that it is impossible to hold it. This
phenomenon, familiar to workmen,
is ascribed by them to some repel-
lent action they suppose the sudden
cold exerts upon the heat contained
in the iron, which is thus driven to
the opposite extremity.

SKATING ON ICE.
4 10 Possible Only Because Of tho Melt
ing Under Pressure.

Ask the average man or boy,
"Why is such glorious freedom OF
movement possible on ice and on
nothing else::' and the chances are
ten to one that YOU will get the an
swer, Because the ice is so smooth. >
But is that the reason: DR.. Jolly
in a lecture before the Royal Dub
lin society pointed out that polished
glass is much smoother than rough
ened ice. vet we can skate on the
ice, whereas on the glass it would
be impossible. He proved by inter-
esting experiments that We must
seek further for an explanation.
His solution, arrived at only after
the most careful investigation, is
that We owe the ability to skate to
the fact that ice melts under pres
sure.
The part of the skate that bears
on tie ice presents very narrow
surface, and on this surface comes
the whole weight of the body. That
pressure causes the ice to melt in
simultaneously, and the thin film of
water between the blade .of the
skate and the ice serves the same
purpose as the film of oil that We
run between the working parts of
machinery-it greatly reduces the
friction. Immediately after the
skater passes on the water film So
hdifes again into ice, ready for the
next skater who comes along; hence
DR.. Jolly concludes that we really
skate not on ice, but on water.
Nature gives us in this way a
fabrication far and away ahead Of
anything man has been able to
make.
Have YOU ever noticed that the
colder it is the harder it is to skate:
That is because the ice melts less
readily under pressure. DR.. Jolly
apparently did not know that skat-
ing Kinks are now in existence
where ice is not used. Instead we
have a surface composed largely of
salt. If YOU know anything of the
nature of salt, however, you will
find that his theory holds good in
that case as it does in the case of
ice, and in neither case is skating
made possible by the smoothness of
the surface.-Youth's Companion.

An OpDOriupiiy for HuStlerS.

Flee Sheppy, 9Th Floor, 243-W
18th street, New York City, general
sales manager of the largest concern
of its kind in the world, wants three
or four men in Williamsburg county
and several men in adjoining coun-
ties, to work for him spare time or
all the time. He can use only those
who have a rig or auto. Work is
very pleasant and no previous sell
ing experience is necessary. Work
consists of leaving wonderful new
household necessity in the homes on

times as efficient as article now in
general use in this section. Article

benefits every member of the house

happiness into the home. Not nec-
essary to be away from home nights.
Pay from $500 to $500 per day
according to ability and number of
homes visited. In writing Mr. Shep-
py, mention what township will be
most convenient for you to work in;
what your regular occupation is;
your age; married or single; how
long you have lived in the commun-

have; whether you wish to work
spare time or steady; how much
time you will have to devote to the
work; when you can start, and about
how many homes are within SIX
miles of you in each direction. This
is a splendid opportunity for several
men in Williamsburg county and
counties adjoining to make good
money, working steady or spare
time. Some of the field men earn
$500. 90 per month; one farmer earn
eu $1,000 90 working spare time

Eame and the Editor.

Fame, so difficult a possession to
obtain, lies oftener than one usually
thinks in the power of the press.
Oscar Browning in his Memories
of Sixty Years" tells how Fox, then
editor of the Monthly Repository,
settled the fate of Robert Brown
ing's pauline" when it first ap-
peared by the mere word "balder-
DASH"
The explanation given is that "a
single line was required to complete
the page, and the editor, taking up
the first book on which he could lay
his hand and thinking it insignif-
cant and pretentious, described it as
I have stated above"
Oscar Browning declares that the
poet said 'that by this accident his
public recognition had been delayed
for twenty years."

Our Oldest Bit of Literature.

The book of Job, as it is incor-
porated in the Bible, is believed to
be the most ancient literary work
in existence. 1t is known to have
been written prior % the Penta-
teuch and prior to the PRONUNCIATION
of the law. In profane literature
the poems of Homer are the most
ancient that have come down to our
day, though the names of others
Stig older are in existence. The
Pentateuch was written about the
year l490 B. c.. and the Homerlc
poems about $40 years later.

Preaching Monkeys.

The author of 'The History OF
Brazil" tells of a species of monkey
called preachers" Every morning
and evening these monkeys assem-
bic in the woods. One takes a high
er position than the rest and makes
a signal with his forepaw. At this
signal the others sit around him and
listen. When they are all seated
he begins to utter series of sounds.
When he stops these cries he makes
another signal with his paw, and
the others cry out until he makes a
third signal, upon which they be-
come silent again. This author, Mr..
Margrove, asserts that he was a wit
ness to these preachings.

CHEMISTRY OF A MAN.
Analysis Of the Substances In Normal
Human Body.

A German investigator has re-
Gently calculated that 100 dozen
eggs would hold all the chemical
elements which would 90 to make
up man weighing $50 pounds.
This does not mean that if YOU
made an enormous Omelet of these
1,2OO eggs a man would be produc-
ed. 1t does mean that the elements
in the eggs would be equal to the
elements in this man.
If person were to eat nothing
except eggs he would get just the
chemicals needed for supporting
life, but the human system would
not digest an exclusive diet like this,
and the person trying to live on
eggs alone would soon sicken, and
if the diet were not changed would
die.
If an average man weighing $50
pounds were reduced to fluid he
would Weld $3.50 cubic feet of illu-
minating gas and hydrogen, or
enough to fill a balloon that would
carry 155 pounds.
If the normal human body were
taken just as it is and all of the
elements extracted from it there
would be found enough iron to
make seven large nails, enough fat
for fourteen one-pound candles,
enough carbon to make the lead IN
sixty-fve gross of pencils and phos-
phorus enough to tip $4,000
matches. Besides all this would be
found twenty teaspoonfuls Of salt,
fifty Jumps of sugar and thirty
eight quarts of water.
Thus it is evident that human
being is a great chemical factory
and the value of a man in actual
material is considerable.
The hundred dozen eggs would
yield precisely the same quantities
of these chemical elements, and at
the present high price of eggs most
people might prefer to have the
eggs rather. than the man.-New
York Sun.
