The Colder Hcmisphere.

Dr. George c. Simpson of the Indian meteorological service at Simla, in h. dia. who asserted that the southern hemisphere is much colder than the northern. gives in the Scientific Amer ican the reasons on which he bases his opinion The air is warmed not by tht rays of the sun. which simply pass through it, but by the earth. which nh sorbs the rays Now, in the northern hemisphere there is much land toabsorh the energy of the sun and to give heat to the air, In the southern hemisphere there is much less land. and all the land within the antarctic circle is per manently covered with ice. which forms Fl virtually perfect reflector and which sends back into space most of the solar energy that falls upon it. Five mil lion square miles of the earth's surface in the southern hemisphere reflect iutu space Il large part or the energy re ceivCd from the sun-a fact that in t. self is enough to account for consid- erable difference in temperature.

The Athenian "Liturqy."

One of the most interesting cases of voluntary taxation is the ancient Athe- nian liturgy" which meant something very different from the liturgy of 10, day, the etymological meaning of t,lr word being public work" The liturS, was special contribution made to the state by wealthy citizen or group 0! citizens. There were ordinary litug
 gies, such as the provision of the chorus for great tragedy, and eXtraor. dinary ones, such as the equipment or maintenance of warship. The iitur, gy was fundamentally d tax, and it was often evaded by all sorts of shifts. But in the palmy days Of Athens it was considered disgraceful for those upon whom it was imposed 10 do no more than the law exacted. and sometimes rich citizens would vol
 lnteer q liturgy from public spirit or to win popularity.-London Chronicle.

Explodinu Ice.

To make piece of ice explode the first step is to put on plate lump of ciear ice about as large as your fist. Then with a reading glass or the lens of u mGgnifymg glass focus the suns rays so that the bright spot of light K exactly in the center of the lump. In a little time the ice will begin to melt from the inside, and after n few mo ments small cavity will appear, for the ice. having expanded in freezing. will not take up so much room when melted. The cavity, being entirely sur, rounded by ice, will be partial vac' uum, filed with a watery vapor of very low pressure. When you have melted a large cavity lay the glass aside and
 let the ice melt in the sun. Turn it occasionally so that it will be sure tu melt evenly round the cavity. After awhile the cavity will be surrounded | by n thin shell of ice. Then, because of the great pressure oil the outside tabout fifteen pounds to the square inchl, the thin walls will suddenly collapse. and the ice will fly In all di- rections.-Youth's Companion.

Dreams.

One reads some so very silly articles upon lhe subject of recurrence Of dreams that it is necessary to repeat that our dreams are notai,g more t.'d" d continuation of the St@te previous to sleep when we lie with no bodily or mental occupation beyond following out whatever train of thought happrn to have been suggested.
 Two common dream experiences ire quently recurring are those of the sen SatiOn of flying and O. the uneasy i'm preSsion of being about in pubic in ia sufficient attire. The first k cause . by the physical fact that we are at tN. moment without noticeable prns%u"o actually suspended in space: the ser Ond by the equally physical fact t'"t few people in these days % to bed in their boots.
