Antics of Pure Glycerin.

One OF the great advantages OF glycerin
in its chemical employment is the faci
that il neither freezes nor evaporates
under any ordinary temperature.
No perceptible loss by evaporation has
been detected at temperature less than
200 degrees F., but if heated intensely II
decomposes with smell that few persons
find themselves able to endure. 1t burns
with a pale flame, similar TO that from
alcohol, if heated TO about 300 degrees
and then ignited.
Its non-evaporative qualities make the
compound OF much use as vehicle Tor
holding pigments and colors, as IN stamp
ing and typewriter ribbons, carbon pa
pers and the like.
If the pure glYcerin be exposed tor a
long time to a freezing temperature II
crystallizes with the appearance OF sugar
candy, but these crystals being once
melted il is almost an impossible to gel
them again into the CONCEALED state.
If a little water be added TO the glycerin
no crystallization will take place, though
under sufficient degree OF cold water
will separate and form crystals, amid
which the glycerin will remain in its
natural state of fluidity. If suddenly
subjected to intense cold pure glycerin
will form gummy mass which cannot
be entirely hardened or crystallized.

The History of Weapons.

The gun is the little brother OF the can
non. Artillery was made first, but it was
easy 10 see that something man could
carry was needed, and in the fourteenth
century the Flemings were the proud
possessors Of hand cannon, small copies
of the bigger weapon fitted 10 a stock.
They were more interesting than effective,
however, and did little damage beyond
soaring badly every one who faced them
for the first time.
Improvements came in the course OF
time and the arquebuS, also called the
caliver, and which was modelled some
what after the crossbow, came on the
market. The work the Spanish did with
them in Italy in 1926 proved that the new
weapon was not joke. And under the
Duke OF Alva, little later, they also in
troduced the musket, an improvement on
the arquebus, but still clumsy affair,
fired by match an1 so heavy that it
could only be aimed from a rest. II had
tremendous bore, however, and could
stop horse at 500 yards, so II soon be-
came the universal military arm.
Early in The eighteenth century the
flintock displaced the matchbox. The
Cbarevile musket, introduced by Lafa-
yette and the first regulation gun in the
hands OF American soldiers, was OF this
type.
A Scotch clergyman, Alexander For
sYthe, was responsible for The next big
advance, the percussion cap, which he
invented in 1907. The Pn1ssian needle
gun was the first successful militia y
breech-loader, although the principle was
not new-the Spanish had them aboard
the ships OF the Armada.
Rifling also is very old Gaspard Roller
OF Vienna and August Kotter OF Nurem-
berg are rivals for The honor OF the in
vention, about 1920. AS has been point
ed out, however, these Improvements
had TO be laid aside until day OF better
workmanship.
Most OF the fighting up TO 1850 was
done with smoothbores, even Napoleon
dscarding the rifle. Breech leaders
were used near The close OF our Civil
War and very soon the muzzle-loader be-
came curiosity.
Winchester, an American, invented one
OF the first successful repeating rifles and
the Turks used them against The Russians
in 1877. Then all the great military pow
ers began .rearming their troops with
small calibre repeaters, using high power
smokeless powder. One OF the best is
our own Springfield rifle.
No one need wonder what the weapon
OF the near future will be All war de-
partmenis Of the world are eagerly search
ing for the perfected automatic rifle,
which will be terrible weapon indeed
a miniature machine-gun.

Hiccougls.

The hiccup, or hiccough, is an abrupt
and convulsive inspiration attended with
a characteristic gulp noise. The odd
sound, which you know as "a hiccup."
is produced in the larynx by the inrush
OF air and the spasmodic contraction OF
the diaphragm as well as more or less
construction OF The CLOTHS or air passage
above the windpipe. Much as the gas
olene air explosions in motor car, the
entering air strikes the narrowed. par
tally closed gotts and occasions the
familiar hiccup.
There is commonly definite rhythm 10
The sound and spasm. Several seconds
or more may be the interval between hie-
cups. A spell or ian attack OF hiceups"
is called p1roxYsm. II may be oil brief
duration when due 10 gluitony or an
overloaded stomach. An attack OF hic-
cups has been known TO last for weeks,
terminating in death, when il is caused
by infections OF the liver, intesiines and
abdomen.
Overdistention OF the stomach by food,
fluids or gases are given 10 the production
OF this symptom. The hiccups OF an in
toxicated man is a case in point.
Overexertion, which disturbs or de-
stroys the muscle iibers or ligaments OF
the diaphragm, has been accomplished
by this symptom. That kind OF hiccough
is only cured by a surgical operation.
Pneumonia and the internal type OF alb
donlinal blood poisoning, known as
perltonitis, have sometimes escaped
recognition because OF undue attention
paid 10 the hccups which were present.
In typhoid fever and appendicitis the
presence OF this symptom is OF evil por-
tent. II is sometimes sign oi a per-
foraied or punctured intestine. The mat
ter, bacteria and refuse, which thus es-
capes from the inilamed alimentafy canal
into abdominal space, overwhelms the
resistance Of the invalid and occasionally
terminates IN death.
Various and many. indeed, are The
maladies which may burst forth with a
hiccup as a sign, but il is difficult to
drive home The fact TO many persons that
hiccup is not disease itself, easily cured
by peppermint water. mustard, rights,
and what not.
The lesson TO be derived from this Is
obvious. Unframed persons cannot dis
tinguish between the hair and the hide,
the root and the branch. the symptoms
and disease. The same set OF symp-
toms may occur in bakers dozen oil
different ailments.
Nine times in ten, true enough, merely
holding your breath, taking a dose Of
epson salts. an enema, or some essence
OF peppermint will stop the hiccup.

Till the twain are thrilled as now.

Shall the kiss upon your brow
Falter from its high estate2

Shall we sit apart and walt

Nay. my wiie-my life the gloom

And my smile shall be the gloom

Gently. gently as the dew
Mingles with the darkening maze
shall fall asleep with you
In the evening OF our days.
