J.atent Heat is Not Heat.
It was formerly believed by the
scientists that heat was a form of
matter and that this matter had ac
tually to enter any substance in order
to raise its temperature. The evap
oration of water, for example, was
caused in this way, they thought, but
as evaporation is not attended always
by an increase of temperature, they
said that the heat, having entered the
water and performed its task became
"latent." It is now known, however,
so far *s a phenomenon of this kind
can be known, that heat is the energy
of molecular motion in matter; that
Is to say, it is a condition of matter,
and not matter itself. The term latent
heat is still employed, but it now
means the energy needed to overcome
Inter-molecular attraction. When wa
ter evaporates under the action of
sunshine there is no communication
cf licat, but the energy of the solar
radiation Is spent in separating the
mclccules of water, thus turning
them into vapor. Latent heat, there
fore, is not heat at all, but radiant

Some Useful Microbon.
The bacteriologists arc learning to
take new views of the minute crea
tures which they study. When the
startling world of micro-organisms
was discovered there was nothing but
hard words for It. The first bacteria
found were those of disease, and the
bacteriologists were so horrified by
their misdeeds that they condemned
tho wholo tribe of micro-organisms to
death without inquiring further into
the matter. The humorist and the
comic artist lend aid in blasting their
reputations, malcingjokes and drawing
imaginary pictures of microbes with
horrible jaws, eyes and tentacles, un
til the mere word bacteria came to
mean something dreadful. It was
much like mentioning a cobra or boa
constrictor to even speak of them.
Pasteur—the great, wise Pasteur—
•o feared bacteria that he kept a bowl
of scalding water by his plate at
meals, dipping his dishes, knives and
forks into it before using them by
way of preventing the smallest mi
crobe from passing his lips—and did,
in fact, prevent it so effectually that
he ruined his digestion, poor man. For
in scalding the evil-disposed bacteria
to death he scalded many more that
were necessary in carrying on the
work of his stomach, and so deprived
himself of their aid.
The bacteriologists now know that
there are many well meaning microbes
among their charges. The microbe
tribes are made up like those of tho
larger creatures. There aro useful,
harmless cows and dogs and sheep
and poultry as well as murderous
tigers, lions and vampire bats in the
microbe world. In fact, tho useful
bacteria arc in the majority, just as
the useful animals outnumber the
savage ones.
The bacteriologists have lately
found several most promising species
among them. There in one tribe, for
example, that may bo turned into
scavengers. Tliey are very greedy
for refuse of all kinds, and it i 3 sug
gested by the sanguine that in time
they may be raised in large tanks
and made to devour the garbage of
cities. Another microbe in favor just
now is one that furnishes light. The
bacteriologists are very guarded in
talking of it, and do not want to prom
ise too much, but they ndmit that
this new micro-organism mav be in
duced to give serviceable light In the
future. It is tho microbe that makes
phosphorescent fishes luminous.
Heretofore it was generally thought
that this light came from phosphorous
like that used in matches, but the ex
periments with those microbes prove
otherwise. By placing the flesh of
fresh haddocks or herrings in a weak
brine and keeping It at 40 degrees
above zero for a few days tho fish,
as well as the brine itself, becomes
luminous, giving off pale green light.
That is one way of bottling up
~ this firefly microbe —a "culture." the
bacteriologists call it. When this cul
ture 1s well under way a remarkable
trait of microbe character Is re
vealed. It Is found that this particu
lar microbe has a love for sugar—a
veritable sweet tooth. When sugar Is
added to the culture it becorr.ps so
brilliant that it can be photographed
by Its own light. Still the bacteriol
ogists arc not willing to raise false
hopes. They will not sav that such
cultures can be used for lamps—nor
will they positively say that such a
miracle Is Impossible. They wish to
study these microbes further. But
they are much gratified by their find
ings in the bacteria world, and expect,
to discover many more wonderful
creatures in it during the next decade.

In the TrnpH.
Pierre and Stacy had spent most of
the winter together on the borders of
tho great forest. Pierre's Uncle Perry
y
wasi interested in lumber, and ha had
brought the two boys with him to stay
at the lumber camp until he should
finish his buying. Tho weather had
been colder than the youngsters had
ever before known, but they did not
feel it as cold as a zero day at home.
They spent most of their time in the
open air. They had a dozen traps set
in different positions not far from the
camp, and made their rounds each
day with much precision, like the gen
uine trappers.
Sometimes as a reward for their
pains they would find a rabbit or
partridge.
Early one morning in midwinter the
two boys started on their rounds.
Trap after trap was visited with the
same result, the bait was gone and
the trap sprung, but no game.
"I believe," said Pierre, "that the
bait was taken away by a human be
ing; it couldn't be so clean gone if
taken by any animal. I know."
That night the camp was visfted
by some mysterious person, or ani
mal, and a big wooden pail of butter
emptied, and cakes of maple sugar
stolen. For three nights the thievery
continued, and the fourth night a
watch was kept, in the camp, but not
a sign of animal or man rewarded the
watchers. The traps were sprung and
the bait had disappeared, however,
the next morning when the boys made
their rounds. They had 12 traps in
all, and it was not until about noon
that the last was reached. As they
neared it Pierre's bright eyes discov
ered that the hard crust of snow had
been broken and that the tracks were
those of some large animal.
"I'm sure we've got him this time,"
whispered Stacy, excitedly. "What do
you suppose it can be? His tracks are
as big as —as a bear, almost. I wish
Uncle Perry were here. Suppose it
should be a bear, Pierre, what would
we do with him?"
"Pooh! it isn't a bear." said Pierra,
decidedly; "you needn't worry."
Pierre's sentence was interrupted
by a whine, more like that of a pup
py than any wild animal, and a rat
tle of chains from the trap. They
stopped an instant, holding their
breaths, and peering anxiously tow
ard the trap. The whine was re
peated, and it seemed to say:
"Mama, mama, come help me out
of trouble!"
Stacy did not hesitate a minute
longer. He understood that languago
as he always understood tho dogs
when they whined or barked or
wagged their tails, and ho rushed
forward.
There, caught fast in the trap, and
whining and crying like a baby, was
tho roundest and blackest little cub
of a bear you have ever seen.
The cub. instead of showing fear of
the boys as they approached, raised
himself on his hind legs and sat
there like a dog begging.
Stacy Jiad gone forward, and much
to ills surprise the sociable little cub
put out his front right paw as if to
shake hands, and tho boy. always
fond of animals, offered his. They
shook hands like brothers the little
cub fairly laughing with joy at hav
ing found a friend.
"He's a tame bear." declared Stacy,
"and I'm not a bit afraid of him. Help
me to loosen the trap from his foot,
will you, Pierre? I'm going to put a
strap round his neck and lead him
back to camp.
Together they loosened the clamp,
the sagacious little cub watching
every movement, and doing his best
to help. In a few minutes he was
free, and the first thing he did was
to hug Stacy—not a big bearlike hug.
but a gentle, funny, cub-like one, that
made both boys laugh. The cub
danced about on the frozen crust of
snow as well as he could with his
hurt foot, which had been caught in
the trap, turned a series of somer
saults. stood on his head and walked
on two feet as naturally as a boy,
while Pierre and Stacy, with eyes
wide open in astonishment, stood fas
cinated by the exhibition.
It certainly seemed ridiculous to
put a strap on an intelligent animal
like this, so they decided to take him
as though he were a companion, with
out force.
Indeed the little cub was only too
glad to have company, and he frol
liekod clumsily along with the two
boys, grunting every now and then to
left them know how satisfied he was
with his lot. But at every step his
poor foot grew more painful, and he
soon began to cry like a baby.
"We've got to get you to camp,"
said Stacy, when at last the cub sat
down, whining and crying and ap
parently unable to walk further,
"and I'm awfully sorroy for you. lit
tle cub. You're a plucky fellow, any
way. Say. Pierre, are you willing to
carry him? We can make a chair as
we do at home for Meg and Beth."
Ten minutes later the men in camp
were astonished to see a queer pro
cession approaching. The two boys
had made a chair of their hands,
and the little cub was sitting on it as
any child might have done, with a
shaggy black arm around each boy's
neck and a happy expression on his
little bear face.

salt water angler in his outings as
the weakfish, striped bass, kingflsh,
etc. Of the shore fishes there are
about 4,000 species. The "pelagic
