FEW COLD FACTS ABOUT HEAT Temperature, Which Is Merely Matter of Vibration of Molecules, Mysteri- ous Force of Nature. Heat is so common that most of us never give it a thought except to com plain of it in summer and coax it tn winter. And yet heat is one of the most difficult things in nature to un derstand. It is as mysterious as elec tricity, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Heat is not a substance. It is mere ly the vibration of the molecules com posing the material heated. Every material is made up of molecules, and each molecule Is composed of atoms Molecules of matter are held together by a force called “cohesion.” At absolute zero, colder yet than liquid air, or minus 270 degrees, all molecules are at rest. As the tem perature rises the molecules begin to move to and fro. The higher the tem perature is raised the further and fast er swing the molecules. Heat is produced by combustion of Are, by friction, such as rubbing a coin on the sleeve ; by electricity in the electric furnace, by chemical action and otherwise. No matter how heat is produced its effect is always the same. The molecules of a bar of iron are nt rest at 459 degrees below zero. As the temperature rises they begin to oscillate. As more and more heat Is applied they swing further and fur ther apart, until finally they begin to roll one over another. Then the Iron is melted and runs like water. If still more heat be applied the Iron will be diffused Into gases and dis sipated in the air. Apply heat to water and It forms a gas called steam and is easily dis sipated in the air. Lower the tem perature to 32 degrees and the mole cules slow up and pack close to gether, forming Ice. Heat Is closely related to light. Both travel through the ether in a wave motion. All light rays carry some heat. This explains how the sun supplies us with both heat and light. Molecules are so minute that there are about one sextillion of them In a cubic inch of air. These at freez ing temperature oscillate back and forth at the rate of 1,470 a feet a sec ond. The average length of their path between oscillations Is about one two-hundred and seventy-seven thousandth of an inch. Each comes into collision with its fellows about 5,000,000 times a second. ' Odd Custom of the Bagobos. Among the curious customs of the Philippine islands one of the most pe culiar is that of “beautifying” the teeth by filing and blackening them, which prevails among the Bagobos of Mindanao, says Popular Mechanics. Both boys and girls of this tribe un dergo the filing process before mar- rlage, and this usually occurs while they are still very young. The youth who Is to be thus decorated sits on the ground beside the native dentist, grip ping between his teeth a stick of wood to keep his mouth open. The dentist then files each tooth down to a stump or else he cuts or breaks each to a point, as preferred by the beauty-seek ing patient. All that Is left of the teeth Is blackened by a powder secured from a certain native tree. Submarine Earthquakes. The biggest waves in the world are termed by scientists earthquakes, soli tary ocean and cyclone storm waves, a writer In the Boston Post says. Of these abnormal waves the biggest are those caused by submarine earth- quakes. Some people who have seen these tremendous walls of water have estimated their height to be as much as 210 feet, but it seems probable that this is an exaggeration. Probably earthquake waves do not ever reach a height of more than 80 feet. A big sub marine earthquake draws the ocean water away from the land for a long distance. Then the mighty wave conies smashing shoreward, probably the most terrific engine of destruction loosened by nature, destroying every thing in its path. Cat Is Ancient Animal. The cat has an ancient history. Tra dition has it that the creature ap peared In Egypt about 1500 B. C., and being highly regarded there as a fire side Sphinx, snuggled down near the seats of the mighty and made himself very much at home. Mummy casta are found in the pyramids. The first cat Is believed to have been of Afri can origin. Travelers from Greece seeing the cats so comfortably en sconced in Egypt saw to it that some of them were brought to Athens, and from the ancient seat of culture the cat Is supposed to have spread oven Europe. The animal in Europe was adopted by man as a pet about the ninth century. Something Coming to Willie. His Sisters Beau—Willie, you ought to go to school every day.
