If a red hot poker be throat Into cold

When, in the first experiment, cold
water come in contact with the bot
iron there Is a sudden and explosive
generation of steam, which causes the
liquid to be scattered with a hissing
noiw, consequent upon the bursting
of Innumerable bubbles.
When, on the other band, a poker Is
thruxt Into boiling water, which la
already freely giving forth steam, the
introduction of the hot Iron by U11
further assisting steam production
Cannes the poker to become at once
surrounded by a sheath of rapor,
which effectually prevents the water
from coming into actual contact with
the mcttL
This sheath of rapor la comparative
ly a bad conductor of heat, so that but
little heat passes from the iron to the

At that time he received a salary ol

management, and rather than take the
punishment he retired from base bail
for a year or two; when he got back
Into the harness again, his cunning as
a Ditcher had deserted him.
For a time he drifted around without
occupation, but later received employ
