ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE Action of the Air When an Electric Bulb Explodes If a small lump of ice is placed on a plate and light allowed to fall 011 if through an ordinary reading glass so that the burning focus comes within the ice a very interesting thing may be seen. The ice will begin to melt 1 1 inside at the point of focus. As ice I shrinks 011 melting, a sipace will be left j on account of the melted ice not taking! | uip so much room as it did when it j was ice. This space is almost a vacu | tun and is tilled with water vapor of ! very small pressure. If the piece of ice be left in the sun j to melt from the outs-ide in, as it usual- j Iv does, the walls of the previously i 1 made hole gets thinner and thinner. As J the pressure of the aitmosiphere is fif -1 teen pounds to the square inch and tis j the pressure inside the hole is very j slight, there will come a time when the j [ outside air pressure will collaipse the j ice with am explosive sound. The sarnie phenomenon is apparent 5 when an eleetric btvlb is broken. Peo-1 pie say it explodes, but as a matter of fact it is crushed inward 011 all sides by the atinosipheri,- pressure. liut it is known by every one that pieces of glass tly to every corner of the room when a bulb ex-piodes, and the fact of its being crushed is not so easily seen. The only explanation as to why glass flies everywhere instead of nicely col j lapsing into a closely packed mass of cracked glass at the center of the de funct bulb is_ that as two pieces on opposite sides are hurled inward to j ward the center they do not always exactly strike each other and may miss | each other altogether.'When they do | this of course keep on as they | were going—right into different parts ot the room. So if a person holds a j builb painted on one side only, with [ the painted side away from his face and with the clear side directly in j r(>n * h' B fnce and breaks it, he will find that most of the glass strik j ing him will be painte>d and th-at in the j room opposite him will not be. Right j at his feet should be pieces of both.— | A. Li. J lodges in Chicago Herald. Pretty Quick Officer—''You say the chauffeur | sounded his horn just as the machine j struck the man?" Witness—''Yes, sir." Officer—"Was the victim instantlv | killed?" J | 11 Witness—"So instantly, sir, that he' ■ | must, have heard the echo of that horn ) 1 1 in the next world." RUSHING THE WORK ON NEW MOTION PICiURE THEATRE Contractors Expect to Have the "Re gent," of Which Peter Magaro Is Owner, Ready for Business Early in the New Year Jhe contractor and su'li-contractm* are rushing work on Hie handsome new motion picture theatre to tie known a* the Regent, at 410 Market street, with the expectation of having it completed and open for high-class screen produc tions early in the new vear. t his new house, which is being emot ed for Peter Magaro; who has had wide experience as a motion picture exhibitor in this and other cities, will be as com fortable as modern methods in theatre building can make it, HIH| will he most attractive both from an artistic an 1 decorative point of view. The Regent in the heart of the down town business and -hopping district, i designed not only as a place of amuse "lent, and recreation for Hftrrirtburg's rapidly growing horucs of motion pic ture patrons, but will provide a delight ful retreat for tired shoppers, who will lie enabled to find rest in the beauti ful upholstered chairs that will be in stalled, as well ns pleasure in witness ing the elaborate feature film produ - tions that Mr Magaro is booking for this theatre. Being almost directly Op posite to the entrance to the Pennsyl vania railroad station, it affords an ideal Hjiot for the traveling public to stop while waiting for trains. The Regent will be one of the la g's: motion picture theatre< in the city and will have seatin» capaeitv of 1,000 persons. The building 1 s being erivte 1 in strict conformity w : th the new regu lations of the Pennsylvania Department of l.i"'bor and Industry and this insure i the greatest .-.mount ef protection from Oves, and flr»l-class «auitary conditions. Modern methods of ventilation are be ing introduced, and 'in ample number n? emergency exits constructed; the aisles (ire wide and the spacing of the <erits sufficiently large to prevent any discomfort and overcrowding. i lei'ia! efforts are beiug made to make the exterior and the interior of the theatre pleasing to the eye. Tiie interior e»>ieeially, said Mir. 'Magaro to day, will be decorated in a most beau tiful way. Oil paintings by artists of ability will form a conspicuous feature of the mural decorations. Mr. Magaro says lie is now negotiat ing with the loading film concerns of the country with a view of obtaining the best attractions for his house, lie promises to provide his patrons witli picture-plays enacted hy the loading aetors and actresses now posing Ibefore the camera, and promises that many of the most successful stars of the the atrical world will be introduced on Iho screen for the entertainment of the pa trons of the Regent. The management is at present work ing out plans for the placing of an elaborate illuminated electric sign on the roof of the theatre, which will make the Regent one of the brightest spots on brilliantly-lighted Market street. This sign wiil be 32 feet high, illustrating a woman diver who will climb to the top of a ladder and plunge into water, all depicted in different col ored electric lights. The whole design will be most realistic. Best For Kidneys—Says Doctor Dr. J. R. T. Neal, Greenville, Sn.
