Frost

II. G.-Why does frost form before
ice is formed!
When the air temperature falls only
a little below the freezing point and
remains there only few hours, a small
quantity of water vapor in the atmoss
phere may easily be converted intn
frost But ice cannot form until the
whole of the body of water on which it
rests has been uniformly chilled to the
freezing point, and this requires q
more prolonged cold temperature.

P. T.-What is meant by Boyle's Law,
This is a name given to famous
principle in pneumatics known as the
law of the compression of gases. ~It
was first discovered by. Boyle in 1862,
otte in 1879. 1t is as follows: The
temperature remaining the same. the
volume OF a given quantity of gas is
inversely as the pressure which il
bears. In other words, when givetf
volume of any gas or vapor is COME,
pressed, SO as 20 occupy q smaller spacs.

volume is increased its elastic force II

The English government, after long
discouraging suttees, by the agency of
Lord William Bentinck formally abor-
ished them in December, 1929, bdr
they have since occasionally TAKEN
place. The wife of the son of the
Rajah of Beygoon thus perished in
June, 1864, and several wives of Sir
Tung Bahadoor, Minister of Nepaul. on
March /, 1877. One voluntary suttes
occurred at Poona, in November. 1890,
and it has continued to the present
time in isolated parts of India, for
even as late as 1905 several persons
who took part in a suttce in Behar
were condemned to penal servitude.

WHY viii Should Be Exercised.

There is only one way to keep the
will active, and that is by exercising
1t. The will is like the muscles, for
even the finest of athletes soon gets
out of condition unless he exercises.
A man ought to do every day some-
thing that he does not care TO do,
just for the sake of exercising his
will. That sort Of exercise keeps 1t
in condition, ready for the harder
things of life when they occur, and,
above ALL prepared for emergencies
that may spring up. The doctrine OF
preparedness Is much better under

Ming of last year. 1t is as true for

IT IS TO LAUGH!

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. German utterances intended for home consumption are funny when they are not exasperating for their arrogant in- difference to truth. To the former class belongs the recent statement of the German foreign minister, Admiral Won Hintze. in Vienna. that i've in Germany and Austria Hungary stick to a free press," and that "even under wars com pulsion we do not want to shackle pub lie opinion" This amazing piece of in- formation accompanied this further bit of news that will interest newspaper readers here and in Great Britain:
 Among our enemies the press works under state control, and the newspaper writer failing to represent the govern ment view is simply sent to prison" Shades of Harden! How the nominal editors maintained in all the newspaper offices in Germany to serve the prison sentences imposed for lese majeste
 must have chuckled at that bit of of 'fcial humor. Perhaps the singular
 unanimity of opinion on all political subjects found in the German press is an evidence of freedom" but to those
 who know it smacks more of that rep
 tilian method instituted by Bismarck and maintained ever since by the lib- erty loving statesmen of Berlin.
