CURIOUS FACT LITTLE KNOWN
But It is Easily Possible for One to
Boil and Freeze Water at the
Same Time.

1t is n curious fact that water may
be boiled and frozen at the same time.
The temperature at which water boils
depends simply upon the air pressure
upon its surface. If there be high
pressure, the water must be rendered
Il good deal hotter in order that it
may boil than would be the case at 4
low pressure.
In mountainous regions, where the
air pressure is a good deal lower than
at sea level, water bols easily at a
low temperature. In cooking vege-
tables that require certain degree of
heat, when the water boils before that
degree OF heat is attained, the vege-
tables will not get done Conse-
Quently, they must be placed in a
closed boiler. so that the generated
steam will create sufficient pressure
for the water to boil at or beyond the
required temperature.
In the experimental proof Of this
fact the water is placed in vessel
and the air is exhausted from above

ing on the sides Of the exhaust vessel
II the pumping is continued for suf
ticient period, and the outside is cooled
below the freezing point, the water will
continue to boil and bubble until it is
frozen into a snowy mass of ice.
The fact is utilized in the estimation
of the height of mountains. Ordinarily
at sea level. where the pressure is
about 30 inches OF mercury. water boils
at 2l2 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, II
it is noticed that at n certain place It
boils few degrees lower. the height
of that place may be easily ascertaIned
by the comparison with a table made
out for this purpose.
In general, for every degree the boil.
ing takes place under 2l2, a height Of
about 500 feet Is counted. This prin.
ciple does not. OF course. apply to wa.
ter alone. but is characteristic OF all
liquids.

THE BUILDING
OF A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride Of Those Who
Take Part in It.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies OF
Western Canada, connecting that great
empire of grain and cattle. horse and
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
of looking upon their work, and its
results with pardonable pride. If they

and the privations, why shouldn't

the buffalo roamed and fed, are now
alive with cities, towns and villages.
Farms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo OF
laborious work off the farm, and max
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous of occupations-are
being cultivated by men of the highest
stamp of manhood. Many of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type of manliness that was theirs IN
the days when they hewed their homes
out of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today. beau
tiful farms in the east. On the whole
the western prairics breed high type
of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were
it not for the upbuilding influence and
character of prairie life.
When the builder of the western Ca
madam prairie looks upon the result Of
his work, why shouldn't his chest ex-
pand? 1t was probably some Of this
feeling of pride that took possession
of Sir Donald Mann. vice president OF
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day in Winnipeg. when he said:
Il am not in the habit of giving ad
vice, but have no hesitation of advis-
ing the young men Of Canada. every
young man, to get out and get piece
of western Canada's land that now
can be had for the asking and be their
own masters"
1T was sc years ago when I first
came to Winnipeg" he said. AT that
time there were less than 10000
people west of Lake Huron in Canada,
and the only bit of railway in opera
ton was between st. Boniface and EN-
erson-about sixty miles. Today there
are nearly 10000 miles of railway in
actual operation and the population is
over two and quarter million. won

AT that time all the -four. meat and

were brought from the States. Now

"The fact that the |city commi ssioners have all declared that they had an open mind regarding the plans for the auditorium and the site for the structure has served to re- move the opposition which was largely based on the idea that some one par ticular plan was in mind.
 'The members of the Chamber of Commerce, the women of the city, and the various organizations and individu- uals who are working for the auditor ium want the auditorium. The matter of plans and site will be left to the city commission and they will of course do what they think is best for the people ency about voting for the auditorium some particular plan. The question of has not been seriously considered by the commission up to this time
 "The people of Birmingham voted almost unanimously for the bond issue to build an auditorium several years |ago. The situation is exactly the same now with the exception of the fact that the need for such a structure is more pressing than it has ever been. The people have had many concrete illus trations of the urgent need for the auditorium within the past few years, and there seems to be no good req |son now why the vote for the auditor ium bond issue should not be practical fly unanimous"
