MHULTZ, ) HOW WATER ACTS. It» Expansion and Contraction mid Its Solvent I'ower». Water contracts as it falls frotn the normal boiling point. 212 degrees, un til it reaches .'»t> degrees. Below that , degree it expands, and at 32 degrees, the freezing point, it will expand ! enough to burst pipes and vessels hold- j Ing It. When the pressure of the air Is he low normal, water boils at a lower tem perature than 212 degrees. This is no ticed before :: rain, when the barometer _ shows by a falling mercury a decreas- t ed air pressure. This also explains \ why water boils away more rapidly, I quickly or at a lower temperature in the mountains, where the pressure of the air is less than on the seacoast or in the valleys. If sugar or salt Is add ed to water the temperature of the boiling point is raised a few degrees. As a rule, as water is heated It will hold a greater amount of a substance In solution. A familiar exception Is the fact that ice water will dissolve twice as much lime as boiling water. At the other extreme boiling water will dissolve seventeen times as much saltpeter as will cold water. But wa ter varies in its solvent powers regard less of heat. One pound of water will hold two pounds of sugar in solution, but only two ounces of common salt. Frankincense. Frankincense is the purest of all in cense. It Is a gum resin from an Ara bian terebinth. To obtain this a deep lncisiou is made in the trunk and be low It a narrow strip of bark peeled off. When the exudation has harden ed, the incision is deepened. In about three months the resin lias acquired a sufficient degree of consistency. It is gathered in large quantities and pack ed in goal skins. It was formerly be lieved thai • the trees which yielded frankincense were infested by winged serpents, and the only way to be rid of them and to get at the treasure was by burning sum styrax, an odorifer ous balsam of aromatic smell. Frank incense was forbidden to be used for embalming, as it was sacred to sacri ficial purposes, "ihe Israelites were strictly prohibited from compounding it. Now it is used largely in Boman Catholic and high church ceremonies. T!ir I<ay of tlie Hen. Investigation of Hip capacity of hens to lay f-v:; results in the discovery that tlie* . 2 ' production of liens de crease r ru'd. r ; ibly after the age of four ve rs, llius a lieu lays at the age of one year about 20 eggs; at the age of two years, about 120; at the age of til~tv years, about 135; at the age of four years, about 115; at the ag.' of five ye.irs, about 80, and at the age of six years, about GO. These fig ures goto show that hens should never be kept in the poultry yard more than four years, for after the lapse of this time they do not yield a proper return ! on the food they consume. HIS GREAT SERVICE. I Az> llluMtrntion of the (Jonerosltr of 1 JT I* I'.lder Duma.*. Xminas pt-re when manager of the Theatre liistorique was continually studying tlie influence of the tempera ture on the s'lle of tickets—at least, he seemed .to do so. In fact, this seeming interest in the showing of the> ther mometer was. like so many other acts ohis. nothing l>ut an expression of the proverbial kindness of his heart. Oia: ilay Dumas happened to meet an old friend whom he had not seen for thirty years. "Where are you going to dine tonight?" he asked the friend. "Tonight 1 shall dine nowhere," was t he answer. "Oh, no." said Dumas; "you are mis taken You will dine with me." He led tl.e friend into his house and gave him the upper place at his table. The poor man had not had such a dinner for a long time, and Dumas when re tiring into his writing room after the coffee said. "It is a matter of course that I expect you tomorrow at the same time." The l'rlc i I came the next day, and the day ler ibis, and so on for ten yea: - * up t > hiv'eath. One day, how ever. «i.» 10l l 1 Mimas that as he was eating bread lie did not earn this ar rariff«-aient k! not continue. "If I am Hl rt ,'ble iiuuestly to earn my meals 1 -ihali sjot come again. Tell me In what way I can be of service to you." Dutuas ttjouuht a moment; then he said: "Yo:i o*i.i do uie a great favor. You my :o to new bridge every j day a:i I ' !.e i lie t* .operature by Che j valier's thermometer. The tempera | ture. you must know, of great mo ! mcnt in the matter of tlie «ale of tick j ets. Could you do ..this?" j The p> >r fellow answered affirma tively and from that time on reported to Dumas every day, "At noon the thermometer showed so and so many degrees in the Shade." And Dumas, who of course did not care in the least about the temperature, replied with the same regularity: "I am very much obliged If you only knew what a service you are doing me!"— Harper's Weekly.

"There's only oue lock in tlie world j that I can't open if you'll give me a ! few minutes at it, and as for ordinary j door and drawer locks, I'll open them > as easily as if there was no lock there. I Any export burglar can do the same." J The foregoing statement was made j by an experienced locksmith of Kau sas City. "Few persons know how Insecure their homes are." lie continued. "Few persons realize that the average lock ' is absolutely worthless for keeping out j an experienced burglar. The ordinary j door lock i> good for nothing but re mindi'.i i casual business or social call ers that : ev must riug to be admitted.

It \ .11 defy any expert. There are six t;;ii > st.-i'l pins in tlie lock, which have to be raised just a certain dis tance to open It. Some of the pins are one-fourth of an inch long and some of them a half inch. II one of the pins lacks ••ven a hairbreadth of being rai-ed tiie proper distance, the lock will not open. It bailies all the ex ports." This locksmith is so expert he can < p -n the majority of safes by putting his ear to the combination and listen ing to how the tumblers click into place ns he turns it. "I intended at one time to be a bur glar." this locksmith declares. "I had it all planned out—even had a set of burglar's tools made. Then I decided that honesty was the best policy, and 1 stuck to my trade."—Kansas City Star. THE SHREW MOUSE. Hnin«- (|nffr SnperMlition* About > llarmlFNN Little Animal. The, shrew, or shrew mouse, as it Is commonly called, is found in nearly all ( parts of the world. It is distinguished by an elongated, pointed muzzle, small eyes, plantigrade, six toed feet and glands that secrete a musky fluid. Al together it c losely resembles a mouse, but it is really not related to the mouse family. When at home it is either under a pile of rubbish or in a hole which It has burrowed in the earth. It Is nocturnal in its habits, but perfectly harmless, yet at one time it was mucb disliked and persecuted because it was thought to lie a dangerous, mischievous animal. Among the Italians the notion was prevalent that the bite of a shrew was extremely poisonous. The French and t lie Kiiulish believed that If a shrew ran over an animal's foot the animal felt great pain and eventually became •paralyzed; hence if a horse, a cow or a goat became a little stiff in its limbs the foolish people at once declar ed it "slirew struck," and the poor shrews had to suffer in consequence. Of course the "shrew struck" animal had to have something to cure It, so an asli tree was selected, and a deep hole was bored into Its trunk. Then a shrew was captured, put alive into the hole, the hole was securely plugged, and the innocent little animal was left to die of starvation. The ignorant believed that after sucl au act the ash tree had power to cur*' "shrew struck" animals, and whenever nil animal became inactive or a little numb in its limbs its owner hurried to the "shrew ash." cut a switch from It and switched the "shrew struck" beasi. The smarting caused by the switching natural In made the helpless animal move i i"t as much as it possibl? could at' : in a >hnrt time it was pro nouu< ,'ij i e.l j The Home Paper |of Danville. i ! i • Of course you read ; i i . !'

"Small salaries, those," concluded the antiquary, "hut we must remember :h.it in that epoch there were no trusts to in Hate prices, and a dollar went a long way. In fact, a Christmas dinner for a family of six would have cost in John Knox's time: For the turkey, 10 cents: cranberry sauce, 2 cents; pota toes. 1 cent: turnips, 1 cent; celery, 1 cent; plum pudding. 2 cents; total, 17 cents, or less tnan 3 cents a head." Friendship Wltli Wild Life. If a fairy had ever offered to grunt me three wishes, "the full confidence of wild animals" would surely have been one <>t' tbeui and probably the first. If we seek opportunities to be friend wild creatures and take advan tage of them, we shall often find, as I have done, that there is no lack of re sponse ou the part of the animals. I once walked up t > a pine siskin, as he was feeding on the ground and picked him up in my hand. He did not seem a bit alarmed, and when a few min utes later I set him down he continued his search for food within a few inches of my feet. On another occasion a yel low throated vireo allowed me to lift her from her nest when I wished to count her eggs mid nestled down com fortably on her treasures the moment I put her back. With a forefinger I once stroked the back of a red breasted nut hatch as he was busy feeding on a tree.—Ernes! Harold Paynes in St. Nicholas. Hi* IV: l-t.
