the liquid mercury becomes solid.
The ancients never saw IL solid. and so
never suspected that II was a metal.
If you can squeeze a substance into
a smaller space you increase it's density.
1t might be thought that while solids
must evidently be but slightly compress
ible, liquids would be easily compressed.
The option seems widely to prevail that
water must suffer much compression at
great depths in the sea. and that is the
source of the popular fallacy about
sunken ships floating at certain depths
below the surface.
But the fact is that liquids are al
most as resistant to compression as
solids and more so than some solids
1t is practically almost impossible to
increase the density of water by squeeZ-
ing it in a confined space. Careful eX-
periments have proved that the COM
pressibility of water amounts to only
one fifty-millionth of it's original volume
for an increase of pressure of one at
mosphere, l. e., 15 pounds per square
inch.
At the depth of mile the pressure
of the water upon itself would increase
its density so sslightly, that only about
eight ounces would be added TO the
weight of cubic foot of it, the normal
weight of the latter being g. or 6S
pounds. This shows the reason why
"A body like a ship which has once sunk
below the surface will keep on sinking
until it reaches the bottom. There
will not he sufficient change in the
ratio of density to alter the result. But
i. would he different ii water We're high
ly compressible. Then sunken ships
would hang and swing with pendulous
motion between the spray and the ooze.
Another example of the lack of con-
nection between density and rigidity is
iron or steel. Lead is specifically nearly
furnished by lead when compared with
SO per cent heavier than steel. yet il

WHICH IS HEAVIER,

A BODY OF SILVER

will you please let us know which
is heavier. II body of lead or a body of
silver. when they are both of the same
dimensions headers.
The lead is heavier in the ratio
(roughly( of II to 10. A cubic foot
OF silver weighs about 655 pounds and
cubic foot OF lead about 710 pounds
a cubic foot of gold weighs about
1901 pounds while the same amount
of aluminium weighs only a trifie over
$50 pounds. There are two well-known
metals which are heavier than gold
viz, platinum. which weighs 1S47
pounds per cubic foot. and iridium
whose weight per cubic foot is 1895
pounds.
The weight of pure iron varies con-
siderably according TO its state. II
il is cast iron the weight is $50 pounds
per cubic foot, and IL wrought iron
4So pounds. Mercury : weighs SS5
pounds per cubic foot, and differs from
all other metals by being liquid at

ordinary temperatures. The lightest
metal is magnesium weighing only 1Os
pounds per cubic foot. which is nearly
the same as the. weight of ordinary
brick.
l have added these figures about
other metals than lead and silver be-
cause the property of density is very
instructive thing to think about. For
instance, if one metal is denser than
another cubic foot or a cubic inch
of II weighs more than a cubic foot
or cubic inch of the other, and con-
sequently one might suppose that in
the heavier and denser of the two
substances the molecules would be held
more rigidly together than in the lighter
one. But this does not follow. for
note that mercury. which is liquid
and whose molecules therefore are free
TO move readily about among one an
other. weighs almost twice as much
as solid iron, so that an iron ball would
no more sink in mercury than a cork
ball would in water
1t is evident, then. that the relative
weight or density of different substances
does not depend upon their solidity.
but upon the intrinsic heaviness of their
ultimate particulars or molecules and
the number OF these included in q
given space.
A rolling wave of mercury would
strike with double the momentum of
the same quantity of solid iron moving
with the same velocity, and with four
teen times that of a wave OF water.
II would knock man down like n shot
Although the molecules of mercury are
specifically heavier than those of iron.

so far loosened by any degree of heat

you throw a chunk of lead against a
wall II will be more or less fattened.
while a piece of steel will dent the
and compare iridium, the heaviest of
wall but remain unchanged in form
itself. But go in the other direction
the metals specifically, with lead, and
now you find the greater density cor
responds with the greater rigidity, irid-
ium being hard and brittle.
1t may be interesting to add the
weights per cubic foot of a few other
common metals. as follows: Copper
552. nickel $40, zinc 1876. tin 45S. Va
rious woods range from 60 for live oak
down to % for white pine This shows
that live oak must sink. being five OF
six pounds per cubic foot heavier than
water.

manufactures can make
some sort of suit, but we

that the manufacturers

STANDARD OIL SUIT
 AGAINST THE STATE

Deputy United States marshals are en route to every county seat in the state, to secure service of county su- pervisors, county attorneys, county assessors and county treasurers with three writs secured by the Standard Oil Co, one of them an application for federal temporary injunction re- straining all the county officials from attempting to collect taxes as fixed by the state board of equalization, until the case can be heard in the fed eral court.
 The company contends that the methods of the state tax commission in assessing taxes is unconstitutional and in violation of Section 1, Article g, of the. state constitution, wherein it is declared that all taxes shall be uniform. Recently the company's taxes were increased from $6S6,641 to $1,115,030.
 The United States federal court at Tucson, it was announced yesterday by County Attorney Gold, has grant ed temporary injunction against the collection of the taxes, said injunc- tion to continue until the court has an opportunity to go further into the merits of the case.

One evening she danced several times with a tall, tow-haired doughboy, who showed symptoms of great loneliness and talked volubly about things back in Michigan.
 When the evening ended, the tow headed one came over to Mrs. Van derbilt.
 "I've had a bully time," he said, "and want to keep track of you. We are moving out of here tomorrow for the front. But if we get back, I'd like to look you up over in the States. My name is Albert Bridgeman, from Grand Rapids, Mich. Whats yours ?"

 "Is that so, MT. Dobbs? I hope you found no other vexations."
 "Well, no, only your towel was wet your comb contained only two teeth, standing apart in isolated seclusion at each end, and the man in the next room reached over and stole my watch"
