What is the scientific account of wa
ter boiling at SO many degrees Of heat
and is it true that water boiIs in GER
tain kinds of weather quicker than in
other kinds?
at what temperature water boils or
the molecules will fly off from boiling
liquid depends entirely on the pressure
to which the liquid is subjected. The
atmosphere weighs down on all earthly
Things with pressure that amounts to
about fifteen pounds to the square inch
at the level of the sea. If water is
heated in the open air at the level of
the sea the flying molecules must be
able to overcome the pressure, other
wise the water does not boil. The tenn
perature at which they can fly off at
sea level, that water, in other words,
can boil, Is 212 degrees It. On the top
OF high mountain, where the. atmOs-
pheric pressure is much less because
there Is much less of it, the molecules
will fly off much more readily than at
the sea level, with the result that water
will boil much below PIP degrees. II ii
were possible to remove the pressure
of the atmosphere water could be made
to boil at the temperature of an ordi-
nary room without heating it.

! understand that most earthquakes
occur near the sea. Will you tell me
I how far inland any earthquakes of
which there is,reIiabIe information have
occurred and also how high above the
sea level the highest ones have beer?
There is no limit, except the size of
the continent, to the distance of the
origins of earthquakes from the ocean.
Earthquakes occur in the middle of
Asia, and probably the strongest earth
quakes on record in the United States
AQecllrrsd in the southeastern part of
Missouri In the years 1911 and 1872
There is less information as to the
altitude, but it is probable that earth
quakes occur very high in mountain
ranges. A very severe earthquake on
July 6, 1912, occurred in the neighbor-
hood Of Mount Mckinley, Alaska, ap-
parently at very high altitude. No
exact figures can be given.

Please print short history of the
changes of the government of China.
From a period antedating the Chris
tian era until few years ago it was
a hereditary monarchy. On Jan. IL,
1912, it became a republic, with Yuan
Shin Kai as president. In December,
1915, he agreed to accept the throne
and title of emperor, but later he re-
nounced this action and declared his
purpose to continue to act as president.
He died June 6, 1916, and Ii Yuan
Hung, vice president, succeeded to the
presidency. He is regarded as
strong man. He was elected vice pres.
ident Oct. Z. 1918, for five years, and
by the terms Of the constitution there

Why does an invading army of vast
iy superior numerical force find it neo-
essary to capture fortress impeding
it's progress to an objective point, say
the capital Of the enemy's country, and
lose valuable time in capturing the for
tress instead of circIing around il and
leaving sufficient force to confine the
garrison of such fortress, which could
be captured later?
In many cases the plan you outline is
followed The Germans so treated
Maubeuge, in France, and Novogeor-
gievsk, in Poland. When this can be
done with safety to the advancing en-
envy it is usually done, but this de-
ponds on several factors, SO that each
particular case must be law unto it.
self. 1t is an 1axiom In war not to
leave an enemy post in flank or in rear
of an advancing army to serve as
base for raiding communications. In
1862 Lee detached half his force to
capture Harper's Ferry, off his flank
and rear, and in doing so lost the bat
tie of Antietam.

What were the reasons Louis Napo-
leon wished the south to win in the
Civil war?
1t is a matter Of history that Louis
Napoleon seized the opportunity af-
forded by our civil war to invade Mex
leo and attempt to establish mon
archy there, with Macmillan at the
head of it. He naturally wished for
the overthrow or weakening of the
United States government as conducive
to the success of his scheme. He only
withdrew the French troops upon the
Urgent and threatening demand Of the
United States in February, 1866, near
" q year after the close Of our war,
and thus left Macmillan to his fate.
His reasons for desiring the success Of
the south were political rather than
personal.

the Dewey workings, departed early
this week for their homes in the east,
after having paid visit of inspection
to the Dewey camp, on the South Fork
of the Clearwater river.
Messrs. Andrews and Coffin were
optimistic as to the outlook for the cop
per-gold mines on the river While not
announcing, before their departure from
Grangeville, any plans for further devel-
opment at the Dewey camp, the men
were so elated over what they had seen,
and over prospects, that it practically
safe to. say they will later authorize ad.
ditional expenditures.

operations at the Dewey camp, after
comforting with Messrs. Andrews and
Coffin, here, departed for Denver, Colo,
