Romance Of Salt.

A lot Of romance is wrapped up In
a grain Of salt John Mills of New
York, addressing the Eastern Associa-
tion of Physics Teachers. told
about II.
Common SALT" he said, 'the
sodium chloride of the chemists, Is
made up of two atoms. one of sodium
and one of chlorine. The sodium
atom has one Planetary electron too
many to suit It, Chlorine, on the
other hand has one electron too few
for its comfort
THE two atoms meet" the physicist
continued, "and allow their affinity to
assert itself. So they Join forces and
become sodium chloride. In their new
arrangement each has its own cleo
irons arranged around II naturally,
with the particular electron In ques-
tion occupying a place OF honor from
which It could not well be spared.
"Tf, however we dissolve the salt In
water then in the confusion the
sodium nucleus can make off Int the
free spaces between the water mole
cules with the extra electron. The
chlorine nucleus is now short an cleo
tron, so each OF them goes hunting
around for some nucleus with one
electron too few or too many, as the
case may be-"

seauoIa Grove Threatened.

Though congress adjourned with
out passing the Barbour bill, the nom
inal purpose of which is to add a
large amount of land to the Sequoia
National park in California and to
change its name to Rooseyelt-Sequoia
National park-both proposals likely
to win popular favor-the friends Of
the national parks still are afraid
that sooner or later the real objects
sought by the interests behind this
bill will be attained.
They hope to prevent this by In
forming ms many people as possible
lust what those objects are. For the
bill, though much increasing the size
Of the park, does so by the addition Of
land which consists entirely of rugged
mountains. practically without vegeta-
ton Of any kind, while there is to be
removed from the park tract much
smaller, indeed, but heavily forested
and containing not a few splendid
sequoias, those strange trees which
are a survival Of another age, grow
nowhere else except on one slope Of
the Californian mountains, and In all
probability are never to be replaced
If once destroyed.

NAME NOT HOUSEHOLD WORD

Threw Girls Into Panic.

One girl swooned and several others,
panlc-stricken, rushed for exits when
a noise which sounded to them like a
message from the dead" penetrated
the stiffness of the county morgue in
Detroit.
The incident occurred when a party
of 20 students from the Detroit Teach
ers' college was being shown the rou-
tine Of the morgue.
A low whistle, somewhat similar to
a breathing noise, came just as the
morgue attendant was explaining how
the morgue functioned. Skirts were
grasped and amid shrleks the fair Wis
itors dashed out of the place, one
faintlng on the way. The noise, 1t
was later developed, was caused by
some one blowing an old-fashIoned
speaking tube connecting the cham
bers and the office In an effort to get
