Measuring Spiders Web

An expert, who has the time and
the instruments to make measure
ments Of the most delicate kind, de-
clared that the thread Of full
grown spider is so thin that 10000
Of them would be needed to make
up the thickness of one ordinary hui
man hair. He says, too, that baby
spiders often begin to spin when
they are only one 400th Of the size
they reach later. And since the lines
made by these youngsters are a
great deal thinner than the grown
up size, probably several times TO-
600 Of them are needed to make up
the width of hair.

Greek Letters on Brick
Near Two Centuries Old

In one of the museums of Rome
there Is preserved "brick" which
was discovered on the island Of
Sicily some years ago. This is
very interesting brick, however, for
it is more than 1,700 years old and
was made out Of soft clay by brick
makers who lived during the time
Of the old Roman empire, relates
q correspondent in the Boston Her
aid.
It Is interesting for another rea-
son. though. and that Is for the Gu
rious letters scratched upon its sur
face. These were placed there with
a sharp stick by some schoolboys
who passed the brickyard at the
time when this particular brick.
with many others, was still soft and
drying in the sun. The letters are
in Greek.
The top line was made by a child
who was still learning to make capt.
tails and he practiced by making
the letter S Greek Signal 10 times.
Then beneath these, he wrote 10
times the letter X Greek Kappa).
Then he wrote at the end Of the
first line the Greek word XELONA,
meaning turtle, and at the end Of
the second line the words MYLA
(milD and KADOS (turtle). Then
an older boy, who could write more
than mere capitals, pushed the
little chap to one side and wrote
two lines just beneath the first two,
and he wrote tongue-twister,
which reads: mai neal nea naia
neoi temon. hos neoi ha naus," or
in English. Boys cut new planks
for a new ship that the ship might
float"
This old brick shows that boys
played pranks LOO years ago as
they do now; and it shows also that
the Greek language and an educa-
tional system had spread through
out this most southerly part Of Italy
long before 1t had come to other
Europeans.

Surface Water Does Not
Boil in Uniform Motion

The surface of water vigorously
boiling in a teakettle or in an evapo-
rator Is characterized by discontin-
uous rather than uniform motion,
says Industrial and Engineering
Chemistry.
Geysers boil up and subside. Surg
ing waves swing from side to side
and are broken up by geysers. Large
bubbles Of steam or vapor break
through the surface and explode,
throwing large, small, and infinite
ly minute drops Of liquid into the
vapor space.
Large and small drops Of liquid
are projected from the surface,
arching upward two, three, or more
feet. Drops strike and combine,
and are frequently broken into a
mixture of small and large drops by
the impact. Particles dance about
in space invisibly supported, finally
to fall or be carried away.
With increasing concentration Of
the liquor there is change of condi-
tons. Foam may be seen collecting
along the outer edges Of the liquid
surface. Eventually this may build
up to a deep rolling viscous blanket
or it may have the appearance of an
unstable tenuous frothy mass.
At the surface of this blanket bub-
bles burst, spraying droplets and
minute bubbles into the vapor space.
A strong light projected through
the observation window shows that
few of these smaller particles fall
back to the foam or liquid. They
are swept away in the vapor pass
ing to the outlet.

Hot Springs National Park

Mankind has bathed at spas for
better health, particularly in Eu-
rope, down through the ages. More
than century ago the United States
government set aside Hot Springs,
Ark, as a place ordained to special.
ize in spa treatments and recrea-
ton for the people Of the nation for
all time. American aborigines told
Of marvellous cures. These same
springs were so famous to the In
dians that in the long ago they be-
Ieved the Great Spirit actually lived
in them. There is a tale that the
various tribes battled from time to
time for control Of the hot waters.
Finally a truce was declared under
which all tribes were extended the
privilege Of using the waters.

countless stalked oval touch-organs

intestines and loins. These, states
a writer in London Tit-Bits Maya
zine, are called the Pacinian bodies;
and they are so small that. although
there are 800 Of them on the palm
Of the human hand, thousands Of
people live and die ignorant Of their
existence. But everybody knows how
sensitive the palm Of the hand is.
And our pet always manages to fall
on her feet. when she drops from
any height. She does this deliber-
ately, aided by her peculiar inter.
nal arrangements.

PERFECT COP
SPURNS BAIL

NEW YORK, Jan. 3 G.N.SD
Mysterious elements today had en-
tered the case of Patrolman Mi,
chael Mcmahon, after the so
called perfect cop" was released
n $1,000 bail on a charge OF
shooting and seriously wounding
an elevator operator.
One of these was the fact that
an unidentified friend-reportedly
a woman-tried to post the bail
for Mcmahon, who is the father
of nine children.
The policeman refused to accept
the bail when his counsel was un-
able to learn the identity of the
person who offered it.
