The effects of heat on some substances is truly wonderful. Its effects are of five different kinds: expansion, which changes tke size of bodies; liquefaction and vaporization, which changes their form; incandescence, which changos their color; and combus tion, which changes their nature. Atoms in violent vibration by heat urge each other apart, and cause the body to which they belong to occupy a greater space. Heat, therefore, opposes cohesion. Sol ids, in which cohesion is strongest, expand the least under the influ ence of heat; liquids, having less cohesion, expand more; gases and vapors, in which cohesion is entire ly wanting, expand the most. Heat converts some solids into liquids, liquids into gases and vapors b' weakening their cohesion. It turns ice, for example, into water, and water into steam. All solids except clay are expanded by heat; but not equally. Of the metals, zinc is among those that expand most. Clay is contracted by bak ing, and ever afterwards remains so; this is supposed to be owing to a chemical change produced in it by heat. The expansion of solids is illustrated by a brass ball suspended from a pillar, to which is also attached a ring just large enough to let the ball pass through it at ordinary temperature. Heat the ball with a lamp placed be neath, and it will expand to such a degree that it can not pass through the ring. Let it cool, and it will go through as before. A sheet iron stove in which a hot fire is quickly kindled or put out, some times makes a crackling noise, in consequence of the rapid expan sion or contraction of the metal. A blower placed on or taken from a hot fire produces a similar noise for the same reason. New furni ture standing in the sun or near a fire is apt to warp and crack in consequence of the expansive ef fect of heat. When boilinc: water is poured into china cups and glass vessels they often crack. This is because the inner surface is ex panded by heat, while the outer is not, china-ware and glass being bad conductors. The unequal ex pansion cracks the vessel. Cold water poured on a hot glass or stove produces the same effect. On the same principle glass chim neys are apt to crack when brought too suddenly over the flame of a lamp or gas-burner. A cut made in the bottom with a diamond allows an opportunity for expansion aud prevents the chim ney from breaking. When a glass stopper becomes fastened in a bottle it may often be withdrawn by placing the neck of the bottle in warm water. The neck is ex panded before the heat reaches the stopper. The force with which a body expands when heated, and contracts when cooling is very great. In iron bridges, therefore, and other structures in which long bars of metal are employed, there is danger of the parts separating, unless provision is made for the expansion caused by a rise of tem perature. The middle arch of an iron bridge has beep known to rise an inch in the summer of a tem porate climate. So, when great lengths of iron pipe are lain for conveying steam or hot water, sliding joints must be used, or the apparatus will burst in conse quence of the expansion of the metal. The fact that heat expands bodies and cold contracts them is often turned to practical account. Coopers, for instance, heat their iron hoops, and while they are thus expanded put them on casks which they thus fit. As thoy cool, they contract and bind the staves tightly together. The wheel-wright fastens the tire, or outer rim of iron on his wheel in the same way. The contraction of iron, when cooling, has been in geniously used for drawing togeth er the walls of buildings that have bulged out and threaten to fall. Several holes are made opposite each other in the walls, into which are introduced stout bars of iron, projecting on both sides, aud ter minating at each end with a screw. To each screw a nut is fitted. The bars are then heated by lamps placed beneath, and when they have expanded the nuts are screwed up close to the walls. As the bars cool they gradually contract, and with such force as to bring the walls back to a per pendicular position. Liquids when heated, expand much more than solids, but not all alike. Thus water, raised from its freezing point to a temperature at which it boils, has its bulk increased one twenty-second; alcohol, between the same limits, increases one ninth. The higher the tempeia ture the greater the rate at which liquid expands. In proportion as heat expands liquids it rarefies them, the same quantity of matter being made to occupy a larger space. This fact is shown in the process of boiling. Water at certain temperatures forms a re markable exception to the general law that liquids are expanded by heat and contracted by cold. As it cools down from the boiling point it contracts, and consequent ly increases in density, until it reaches thirty-degrees, or seven degrees above its freezing point. Below this temperature it expands. The expansion of water in freez ing is proved every winter by the bursting of pipes, pitchers, ere, containing it. The force with which it expands is tremendous. Strong metallic vessels have been known to burst asunder with a loud report by the expansive force of water while freezing. When a liquid is converted into a solid the heat no longer needed to oppose cohesion is given out. Extreme cold is thus modified by tin very act of freezing. When a solid is rapidly melted, so much heat is absorbed by the liquid that intense cold is produced. This is the principle upon which freezing mixtures operate. Ice cream, for instance, is frozen with a mixture of salt and snow or pounded ice; the latter is rapidly melted, and so much heat is absorbed in the process that the cream is brought to a solid form. This process of vaporization is no lesss wonderful, heat, applied to a solid, first ex pands it, then melts it, and finally turns it into a vapor. Sometimes solids pass at once into vapor, without becoming liquids. A great degree of heat is essential to vaporization. At ordinary temperatures, wherever a surface of water is in contact with the air, vapor is formed. This pro cess is known as spontaneous evaporation. By this means the atmosphere becomes charged with moisture, and clouds and dews are formed. The drier the air, and the more it is agitated so as to bring fresh currents in contact with the liquid, and more rapidly does evaporation take place. A drop of water let fall on a cold iron moistens its surface; let fall on a very hot iron, it hisses and runs oft without leaving any trace of moisture. In the latter case the water does not touch the iron at all, but it is separated from it by a thin layer of vapor into which a part of the drop is con verted by the heat radiated from the iron. Laundresses try their irons in this way to see if they are hot enough for use. On the same principle, jugglers plunge their hands into melted metal with im punity, by first wetting them. The moisture on their hands is converted into vapor, which keeps the seething metal from their skin for a sufficient length of time to enable them to perform the trick. John Carr Moody,Counsellor at Law,Vallejo, Cal., says that he suffered seven 'ears from a cruel joint trouble rheumatic in its na ture and exceedingly painful. Commander Coghlau, of the IT. S. Navy, strongly urged him to use St. Jacobs Oil. After continuous use of the remedy the effect was so wonderful that he must congrat ulate himself specially, and the human race generally, on the per fection of the product. iikiftixc:. RVT.

With dreamful eye My spirit lies Where summer sings aud never dies O'erailed with vines, She glows and shines, Among her future oil and vines. Yon deep bark goes Where traffic blows, From lauds of sun to land of niiows; This happier one Its eourse to run From laud of snow to laud of sun. The fisher's child. With tresses wild.
