Visits of Death Angel s.-
aa4 :. Most Frequent at Night

b
The question of the time Of day at
which most deaths occur has engaged
the attention of the French scientist
Lavastine, we are told In the Neues
Wiener Journal (vienna), reported by
the Literary Digest. We read:
"On the strength Of carefully col
lected statistical material Lavastine
has come to the conclusion that the
predominant majority Of deaths occur
at night. m eas- 90
"Most people die during the time OF
sleep, between seven o'clock in the
evening and six o'clock in the morn
ing. More rarely death occurs In the
hours which man usually spends
awake. Thus Lavastine observed last
year that in the hospital under his d.
rection about 100 patients died at
night, whereas according to the rec
ords only 6S deaths occurred In the
daytime. boss e~- A-'
ait is interesting that the French
scientist, although he expressly empha-
sizes his rejection of astrology, traces
this back to cosmic influences, still
unknown to us. .saaag 81
Moreover, he has also concerned
himself with the problem Of the hour
of birth, and has collected extensive
material from the memoranda of Pa
risian hospitals for women. Here, too,
1t may be proven from statistics that
the number of births in nighttime is
much larger than by day."

Bridges Central Span 5aa
"Frozen" Into Position

1t is perhaps not a generally known
fact, but the following incident actual
ly happened, says the Washington
Star. A certain bridge was under
construction, and when the central
span was lifted into place 1t was found
to be slightly too long to fit into the
supporting spans. The engineer In
charge purchased an enormous guam
tity of ice, and, packing it around the
steel members, caused contraction OF
the steel, eventually shrinking the en-
tire structure and allowing the central
span to slip into its proper position, y
The fact that the bridge was too
long resulted merely from a day of
unseasonably high temperature, which
happened to correspond with the day
on which the last member of the
bridge had to be placed. The simplest
solution would have been to delay
closing the bridge until the tempera-
ture dropped, or perhaps inserting
the member at night. The fact that
the engineer thought of packing the
cantilevered arms of the bridge with
ice indicates clearly what a resource
full engineer he was. The bridge is
the Eads bridge across the Mississippi
river at st. Louis, and the engineers
name was James B. Eads.

Huna Eierce Eiphtera

The Huns have a recorded history
much more ancient than the time of
Attila, and they endured long after,
finally being merged with other races
to found modern Hungary. They had
many battles in China under Me-Te,
Tchitchi and other great leaders
against whom China built the Great
Wall. Driven off from their ancient
home in Mongolia, they wandered east
and won success against Rome under
Balamir. Then came the period Of
Attila. Following his death the Huns
declined for time, but later disguised
themselves as Avars and developed
other great leaders, Baian and the
Kha-Khan. Charlemagne defeated them
and ravaged their territory, but the
Huns had another metamorphosis I'M

When Water Freezer

There is no difference between the
freezing point Of water that has been
heated and that which has not been
heated If the water is pure. In the
case Of tap water which is nearly pure
but contains dissolved air, heating the
water may drive out some Of the air.
This has no considerable effect on the
freezing point, but may make differ
ence in the character Of the ice pro-
duced. Hot-water pipes are reported
to burst from freezing more often
than cold-water pipes. This is not be-
cause of difference of freezing point
of the water, but is probably because
the water in cold-water pipes contains
dissolved air, which separates on
freezing and forms slushy ice; while
when water in a hot-water pipe
freezes, it is more apt to become I'M
der-cooled and then freeze rather sud-
denly, forming compact ice free from
bubbles, which is more apt to break
a pipe. Ht.f HsE
