"Jn what form does: it come out--at. the other end of the . wire if the wire is not twisting or undulating?' "It comes out in the form of motion which is dangerously akin to heat," replied' the Sulphite. "Heat has been defined as molecular motion. All mol ecules are in motion constantly as you would -see- if; you rcould ;magnifyr any small solid .substance i ta ; the size of the ..earth. The faster the molecules move the larger their, orbits, and -the Substance expands, .. .This r effect " s known as heat." " v - ' 'Then electricity is some kind-of a" stress ort twisting of the - molecules'; in the"' same way . that heat is a motion of the molecules?" . . J, ; . Exactly, - And Hhe; chief ' probleni of the electrical engineer is to keep Eia electric current stresses from degehe' rating into heat motions. If his , wire, for instance, is too small to carry the current it gets heated and some of the electricity Is" destroyed." . .. . " 1 "It all seems clear," said the Bro mide, " "except as to what makes U travel Why doesn't your electricity stay in one place?": ' "WBiy doesn't heat .'stay in one place?" asked the Sulphite., ' Heat f one end of a poker red hot, and the other, end will soon become too hot for you- to handle." r ; , - "I know that's true, but why is it?" " "Because heat is a motion . of ' the molecules. - Closely grouped as they are, the molecules of solid -hodies can not oscillate without communicating their motion to neighboring molecules. This propagation of the motion of heat from molecule - to molecule . is called conduction of heat." , . - ' r . "And Is the conduction of electricity the same sort of process?" ''Exactly. Only electricity moves infinitely more rapidly, because is is a more orderly motion. There is what I should call more team wrok among the molecules twisted by an electric current than the moleciiles moved by heatv When the molecules have no motion at all the substance is at ''ab solute zero' about 461 degrees below xero Fahrenheit, or 273.7 degrees be low zero Centigrade." ! -"B-r-r-r!" said the Bromide. ' . : ' The . conviction in a Federal court of 38 men, including nearly the entire official staff of the International As sociation of Bridge & Iron Workers, Of conspiracy in the promotion of ex plosions in non-union works, does not carry with it severe punishment; for the guilty men, even when their con spiracy resulted in the loss of many lives, but it is nevertheless a lesson of the most far-reaching influence. It is again demonstrated that the arm . of the law when earnestly invoked, is long and strong, and that justice can not be intimidated, even by the threat of the dynamite bomb. Columbia State.

The insjident, which Roulstone nade famous in verse, as related. by Mary's old school' teacher, Rebekah Kimball, deviates -in some way from the verse.

Parents of St. Louis school children are angry , because a public school teacher told the children there is no such being as Santa Claus. Doesn't every ; grownup remember the day when he first learned the mythical na ture of the childhood saint? Wasn't it like losing one's very best friend? The problem of telling the child the truth about Santa has been discussed so much that it has become wearisome, but most parents will agree with those St. Louis papas and mammas. Savan nah News.
