>ooooooooooooooooo<^xx: ' He Made a Good Run In Record Time With Plenty of Reason. i One of the traditional gtorlea o f the town of Fairfield, Conn., recounts a wild dash from the pulpit made by a worthy and beloved pastor o f the Episcopal flock. Dr. Labaree. j It was on a Sunday more than a hun- : dred years ago. The service had been read, the prayers Bald, the hymns sung, nud the parson began his sermon. As he proceeded his gestures became very energetic. He brought bis right band down with great force. Then he turned pale, cleared the pulpit stairs at a bound, dashed out of the church door and rau toward the pond a short dis tance away. The congregation followed lu bewil dered pursuit and saw their venerable pastor with flying robe rush Into the water until It came to his neck. Then, turning rouud. he faced his astonished audience and said: "Dearly beloved brethren, I am not crazy, as no doubt many of yon think, but yesterday at the drug store I bought a bottle of nitric acid and carelessly left It In my pocket today. “ My last gesture broke the bottle. 1 knew the suffering the acid would cause when It penetrated my clothing and rushed for the water to save myself pain.” He drew several pieces of glass from his pocket In witness of the tale. Then be dismissed the company and hurried home.

This pretty experiment has rightly been called the caloric paradox. I f a drop of water Is placed on a red- hot or white hot metal plate It does not suddenly flash Into steam under the influence of the grent heat. It does not even boll. It simply evaporates quietly and slowly as It rolls about the plate. Now. suppose that the drop on the plnte Is a volatile liquid like sul phurous acid. It will evaporate, and this evaporation will produce cold. Let a drop of water fall in the sulphurous acid drop and tt will he frozen In spite of the heat. M. Boutlgny thus froze water on a white hot platinum capsule. Faraday carried this remarkable experiment even further. Pouring some ether and solidified carbonic acid gas on a red- hot platinum capsule, he formed a spheroidal mass which evaporated very slowly. He then brought some mer cury Into contact with tt and this was tnstnntly frozen.
