The Freezing Point of Helium Gas Is Just Above It. Although familiar to scientists, It Is not generally known tliat the true zero of beat has been determined. By this absolute zero Is meiinc a temperature which cannot get any colder, wbich means that no Heat whatever exists or can exist at that point.

This point Is only about 450 degrees below the zero of our ordinary 1'alireuhelt thermometers or 273 degrees below the zero centigrade. To realize what it signifies a few words must be placed here defining Heat itselt. Heat is caused simply by the thousands of little molecules In any body or thing vibrating very fast and thus sending out waves into the ether. When these waves strike any matter they cause that matter to become hot, as we say. Now, the faster these molecules.

vibrate the more heat is given out and the hotter is the body itself. The slower the molecules the colder the body. So. if a condition could be reached where the molecules did not vibrate at all. why, there couid be no beat, and therefore the body would be absolutely cold.

This cou- dition of affairs is reached at the above mentioned number of degrees below our ordinary scales. It is needless to say. however, that this absolute zero of heat has never been attained on this earth, the closest ever reached Uy man being one degree above it. This is 272 below zero centigrade and is the freezing point of helium gas, which a German professor claims to have frozen at that temperature. From this theory of heat a peculiar view is obtained of our bodies and articles of matter.

We would liud, if we had a microscope to see small enough, that every bit of matter at auy temperature that we can now get is a seething mass of moving molecules and vibrating particles. Oue proof ol this Is when a metal expands on becoming warmer. If we weigh it we find that a not body weighs no more than tbe same body cold, yet it gets larger, both longer and broader. To do this it must be composed of moving particles that on becoming excited get farther apart Another proof Is that liquids and gases have beeu forced through every solid that exists almost. Thus water has beeu forced through lead, sulphur dioxide through Iron.

otc. The computed size of these molecules is rather interesting, it is claimed that if a drop of water represented the earth the number of molecules In the drop would be about equal to the number ol' grains or sand iu the An Jnglish Official Who Outwitted a French Admiral.

Va. Changing Her Mind. By nit unwritten law It Is held to be the privilege of woman to change her a license of wbich she rarely fails to avail herself. The German iroverb has it that "women arc variable as April weather." According to in old English adage. "A woman's iiind the winter winds change oft." Tho Interesting Story That Is Told by a White House on the Foreshore of the Arabian Coast at the Southern Entrance to the Red Sea.

On the foreshore oC tho Arabian coast In tho strait of Bab-el-Mnndeb. at the southern entrance to tlio lied sen, stands a large Mil to house concerning which the travelers to the far east may hear curious story. In the middle of Hie nineteenth century, when M. dc Lessens utter many dllli- cullies had successfully floated the Suez Canal company, tho governor c' the Lirilish port of Aden, about 100 I JUiles distant, was surprised oiiC-tiiorn- Ing by the visit of a French squadron of very unusual size for that part of the orient, which, having encountered a terrific storm off SoUotra, had put In for repairs. In the mind of the governor curiosity was at once aroused as to the destination of so large a command, a curiosity which increased as he found it impossible to extract any further Information from the French admiral or his ofiieers beyond the statement Hint they were upon an ordinary cruise, an xpliiunlion which the former was not the least inclined to believe.

Firm in the belief, therefore, that some political move of great impor- anee was afloat, if not afoot, tho governor, in order lirst of all to gain time, orders to go very tortoise-like on repairs and then set to work to the Fivncbmen-off i IK lr gutml by giving a succession of such entertain- iients as both his slender means and he awful barrenness of the place ivonlil afford. Bur. though at the eud of two weeks French and British ollicers had got ipon the best of terms, the Immediate destination of the French squadron remained as much oi' a mystery to c-. -the governor of Aden as before, and Women grOVV loUCSOmC and HstleSS when lobbed in spite of all possible delay Uiejj- .1 i pairs wero nearly completed. Now, it happened that tho wife of the governor possessed an Irish maid, who had been receiving attentions from one of the French petty attentions which the girl did not regard seriously.

It occurred to the governor that by such means something might be learned of his unexpected visitor's plans, and a private conversation between the governor's wife and her maid resulted In another between the latter nud her French admirer, by which it wns discovered that rorirn island was the objective point. At this information the governor opened his eyes wide Indeed, for, if the Suez canal were cut through, Pe- rlm. us commanding the southern entrance to tuo Bed sea, iii the middle of the strait of Bab-el-Mandeb, would be a great strategic Importance, over which, without doubt, it was the intention of the French ad- "Arc you jjoing to HIE meeting "i Yes, I'll be ready when you come."
