O. How do explorers know when
they reach the North Pole? What Is
the latitude and longitude OF the
North Pole?
A. Arctic explorers are equipped
with delicate instruments with which
observations are made in order tc
tell when the Pole is reached. Such
observations are made frequently.
The Pole has no longitude and 90 de-
grees latitude.
Q. What is an electron?
A. An atom Of disembodied cleo
tricity. 1t occupies an exceedingly
small volume and its mass is entirely
electrical. According to the electron
theory, every atom OF matter, OF
whatever kind, throughout the whole
universe is built up of electrons ia
conjunction with a nucleus. The
electron and its nucleus are parti-
cles OF electricity. All matter, there
fore. is nothing but a manifestation
of electricity.
Q. Which state produces the
most POPCORN
a. Iowa Is reported to produce
the most popcorn. The crop OF 1915
was valued at S2.101, 2S6.0O.
Q. How is the steam locomotive
driven?
a. When the engineer wishes to
start the engine, he pulls on a lever
called the throttle; this lever opens
the throttle valve which is placed
at the highest point in the boiler.
When this valve is opened. the steam
rushes into the large supply pipe
which conducts it to the steam
chest, whence it passes TO the
cylinder. Having reached the cylin-
der through the port the steam
pushes against the piston and moves
It backward. This motion OF tho
piston is transmitted by means OF
the piston rod and the connecting
rod 10 the driving wheels. which are
thus made 70 turn. When the piston
has reached the rear end of the
cylinder. the slide-valve autOmatical-
ly opens the port and also connects
the port with the exhaust. The high
pressure steam in the steam chest
then rushes into the rear end of the
cylinder and pushes the piston for
ward. driving the steam in the for
ward end out through the port and
IN exhaust and into the exhaust
pipe. whence it escapes through the
stack. The valve then automatically
connects with the steam chest and
with the exhaust and the piston IS
again pushed backward. and so or.
The steam expanding in the cylinder
moves the piston, and this motion is
used in doing the mechanical work
OF turning the drivers. The piston
travels backwards and forwards on
all locomotives operated by steam.
the steam being the power used 10
force the piston in both the forward
and backward movement.
Q. How is roast pig cooked, serv.
ell and carved?
A. Take 4 pig about six weeks
Old. wash thoroughly inside and out.
IN another water put a teaspoonful
OF baking soda, and rinse out the in
side again. wipe dry with 4 clean
towel. salt the inside and stun il
with the prepared dressing. making
it fun and plump and giving it its
original size and shape. sew j. up;
place il in a kneeling position in the
dripping pan; tying the legs into the
proper position. Pour a little hot
sailed water in the dripping pan.
haste with butter and water &C
casionally az the pig warns. then
afterwards with gravy from the
dripping pan. When che pig begins
20 smoke all over rub il often with
a rag dipped in melted butter This
will keep the skin from cracking
and yet it viii be crisp. The roast
ing will consume from two TO three
hours. To make the gravy. skim of
most of the grease. stir in that re-
naming in the pan a tablespoon OF
-four and enough water TO make Il
the right consistency. Strain. and
turn into the gravy dish. Place ire
pig on a large. hot platter. surround
il with parsley or celery tops; place
q green wreath around the neck and
q slice OF lemon IN the mouth. II
carving. cut off the head first: split
down the back take of the hams and
shoulders. and separate the ribs.
