DROPS OF WATER
Thrown Upon a Rcdhot Stove They
Will Never Touch It
It is impossible in throw i few drops
of water on n reilliot slow The wa
ter itn never touch the stove at all
What Is een is a few drops rolling
rapidly iiviM ihe stiff are gradually
getting smaller until they disappear
If the drop- are on a perfectly level
place one 111 see under them to the
other side of the room thus proving
that they ate not in rotitart vith tlL
stove itMli
What actually happens Is that the
bottom of the drop changes at once to
steam or vapor on coming close to the
hot Mirfacr hud this vapor Is supplied
by the drip it gradually goes away
So the drop rests on a cushion of va
por until it is oiiieJy dissipated This
state of waier is known as the spheroi
dal state and is of interest siuipli on
account of its peculiarity and seeming
ly paradoxi a behavior
The reason why the drop is not Ini
mediately evaporated or ehtugid to
steam is also very interesting Tin
water vapor that intervenes between
its under surface and the redhot stove
is a very bad conductor of heat and
consequently the full intensity of the
heat cannot get to the water itself
only the amount transmitted through
the apor being available for this pur
pose St Louis Republic

Kural customers attach great im
portance to tin batiks outward ap
pearance A thrifty tradesman having
opened a deposit account with a bam
distant some thirty miles from His
home the cashier had the curiosity to
ask why he traveled so far when there
was a branch of the same bank almost
at his door The depositor smiled
knowingly and replied 1 lodged op

bank was being built so 1 know its
safe Balance sheets to the rusti
are a meaningless and arbitrary ar
rangement of ligures Iron bars he
understands
Iu a city in the north of England
there is a bank widely known for tiic
artistic merit of its doors Designed
by an eminent sculptor they are ex
ecuted iu relief in copper or bronze
and appear to represent tableaux from
Aesops Fables aud Greek history
About a week after they were unveil
ed an old man who had been a de
positor for many years withdrew his
balance and took it to a rival bank al
most opposite Questioned as to his
reason for changing he replied I
dont hold wi them doors of theirs

Turner Was Gruff
The great artist Turner is said to
have been peculiar in his way of sell
ing his pictures At times nothing
could induce him to part with one of
them and at other times he would re
ceive a customer with the greatest af
fability of voice and manner and read
ily settle upon the sum to be paid for
one of his treasures On one occasion
when he was offered 1000 apiece for
i some old sketch books he turned them
over leaf by leaf before the eyes ot
the would be purchaser saying Well
would you really like to have them
Then just as the mau proceeded to
take possession of the books Turner
with a tantalizing I dare say you
would suddenly thrust them into a
drawer and turned the key iu the lock
leaving the customer dumb with in
dignation
