A man who formerly was a waiter on a big transatlantic liner told this story the other day: “Ou a certain trip over 1 had at my table an irascible old gentieman who was a fresh air fiend. No matter what the weather he always insisted on having the porthole over the table open. It was no use to argue with him. but one day when the seas were very high and the ship pitching and rolling | ventured to remonstrate. He was up in arms in a minntegdy ou are paid to obey orders,’ he said tartly. ‘Open that port’ [I did. ‘The soup course was served in safety. Then | asked Lim if he would have fish, "Of | course 1 will,’ he snapped. ‘And I'll have it in a hurry. Don't keep me ' waiting all day.’ “Just at that moment an unusually | big sea rolled by—that Is, part of it did. A goodly portion came through | the porthole, soaking the old man and | depositing on the table in front of him a live fish. No waiter on board of | our ship had ever served an order so quickly before. But I didn’t get any | credit for it. The queer thing about that story,” he added. “is that it isn't a fish story at all. 1 never told it yet to any one who believed it, but it is | absolutely true.”—New York Press. | HIS PLAN OF THE DAY. Rigid Rules of Living Made by a Co- lonial Minister. An orderly arrangement of working | hours is a desirable and time saving | thing, but when one reads the plan of | the day made by a colonial parson, be | cannot belp wondering where the good | man's family life came in. and if the | system held any possibility of relaxa- tion.

But it is not the Bieak House of the novel. which is definitely located in Hertfordshire. The rovelist and his famiiy appear to | have Leen somewhat tichtly packed in their Droadstairs home. When Lord Carlisle contemplated paying a visit to “our watering place” in 1851 Dickens wrote promising him the North Fore- | land lighthouse for 1 night light in his | bedroom, nnd he continues, “As we. think of putting mignonette hoses out- side the windows for thie younger cbhil- dren to =ivep In by and by ! am!’ afraid we should give your servant the cramp if we bardily undertook to lodge | him."

The same effect was found for a silver shell. But. while it is a familiar fact that liquids will resist an enormous force of | they are also capable of withstanding tension is not so generally known. At «ion. or 750 pounds to the square inch. fit was possible, then. to utilize this property by making a “rope” of water we should find It capable of sustaining a good fraction of the weight that the same size. But it must be admit. ted that the task of making a rope out ficult, to say the least, notwithstanding | the fact that it possesses this desirable property of tensile strength. Because of its inability to resist a deforming tube: but, while it would here be in condition to withstand compression, as | from a piston In the tube, any attempt | at “stretching” the liquid In this way | would simply result in pulling away | the piston from the water surface. However, this tensile strength was actually found by Berthelot in the fol- lowing way: A strong glass tube sealed | at one end and drawn out very fine at! the other was filled nearly full of wa. ter and then closed. The tube was then eantlously heated until the water had expanded and completely filled it. It was then slowly and carefully cooled back to its original temperature, when it was found that the water had not contracted, but still filled the tube. t is almost a universal law that a small extension In volume of a body! requires tae same magnliude of force to produce It as to cause a similar | amount of comprassion. the forces, how- | ever, being tension in one case and With this law in mind it is readily seen that the water that now fills the tube must be under tension, since previously at the same temperature it did not quite fill the tube—that Is, it bas actually been Saddlery.
