TO EXTINGUISH A CANDLE
With Practise It Is Possible to
One Out at a Distance of
Twelve Feet.
Put
The distance from which an average
man can blow out a candle rarely ex
ceeds three feet, remarks the New
York Tribune. If ha le an adept at
blowing smoke rings, however, a
candle may be extinguished at 12 feet.
Of course, smoke isn't necessary. An
ordinary air ring will do, and has the
added advantage of being Invisible.
Simply pucker the mouth as you
would to blow a bmoke ring and expel
air In a quick, sharp manner. It takes
a good deal of practise to do It.
An easier way to show the effect,
If one Is doubtful, Is to place a sheet
of cloth or canvas over the open side
of a box otherwise closed, making a
smalt round hole In another side. Then
tap In a sharp manner on the canvas
and Invisible air rings will be pro
duced. If the hole Is pointed at a per
son's face and the rings are made he
will feel them as they striko his face.
Only a few trials are necessary to ex
tinguish a candle at 12 feet. To ren
der the rings visible a smudge may be
burned In the box, or a small dish of
ammonia may be placed side by side
with a umi 11 dish of hydrochloric acid,
the combined fumes of these liquids
making a dense smoke.
The explanation why one can't put
out the candle at 12 feet Is that the
energy of expulsion is conserved and
practically all retained In tho smoke
ring, while a simple blowing has to set
In motion a whole stream of air and
la, therefore, wasteful.
Speaking of Races.
"Saw an odd raco yesterday." ,
"Indeed?"
"Yes, It was between two dogs a
fox terrier and a dashchund."
"Well?"
"Two saucers of milk wore placed
In front of them and the object was
to see which could lick up his first."
"Which won the race?"
"The dascbund won In the last lap."
Washington, 1). C. The Impression
Is becoming more widespread every
day that the Inter-State Commerce
Commission will grant tho Eastern
railroads a substantial Increase lu
rntes as a result of tho convincing
tcHtltiiony submitted by them since
I per cent, advance case was begun.
Carriers Involved may not receive
tho full 5 per cent, they have asked
fur. It Is (iilto probable that a blanket
order to Oil effect w ill not be Issued,
but an Increase that will go far toward
meeting the llnanclal needs of the rail
roads seems to be assured.
And if the full amount Involved iu
the present proceedings is denied by
tho commission the reason will be, It
Is now believed, that the commission
ers havo effected savings in other di
rections which, they hope, will com
pensate the roads through the con
servation of the revenue received un
der the present rate status.
For Instance, the commission has
conducted a simultaneous Investiga
tion Into the five or cheap servieu
given by common carriers to private
lines, to tnp lines. In switching, lit
spotting cars and in handling of
freight at terminals. All these ele
ments Jinve been brought into associa
tion with the advance asked for and
they promise to play an Important
part In the findings of the board.
Representatives of the carriers who
have appeared before the commission
havo readily granted tho lmportancii
of the lniiuiry Into tlione side Issuesi
They have welcomed any readjustment
of tho relations of the railroads to the
private lines and terinlii.il companies
that will save their companies money,
but they have never agreed that the
Bum involved In this free service Is
larne enotiKh to meet the exactions
on I lined In the pending case.
Tho commission Is under direct pros
pure and Inlluenre from every quarter
to render Us decision at the earliest
practicable moment. The carriers are
for expedition. Tho whole business
world, In fact. Is urging that the pres
ent uncertainty be ended at the earliest
possible moment.
Practically all testimony, for and
tifainst the railroads, has been sub'
milted. The arguments will be short
and the briefs will be easily digested.
There seems no likelihood, therefore,
thnt the doubt in this quarter w ill con
tlnue much longer.
