“My blood run* cold at the very
thought” la not a novel expression.
Yon often either hear tome one else
•ay It or aver It yourself.
Your blood cannot “run cold” as long
as you are alive and well If the blood
really becomes colder than “blood
beat” something serious happens to
your health.
When yon feel cold it is a sensation,
hot necessarily the temperature of the
tissues. Often with the blood feverish
or away above its normal warmth yon
feel chilly. So much of the superheat-
ed blood Is then at the surface of the
•kin that an extra normal amount of
heat leavea too quickly.
On the other hand, men and women
who drink beer, gin, whisky and simi-
lar alcoholic beverages “feffi the glow
of warmth" and believe they are hot
when as a matter of course their blood
is a trifle below blood beat tempera-
ture—at times manifestly a dangerous
thing.
True enough, the blood has much to
do with how you feeL This, however,
is not because It “blow* hot or blows
cold,” but because that part of it in
the skin where the sensations ot beat
and cold are located reflects the out-
side surroundings according to the pre-
vious experience and habits of each in-
dividual's skin.
If a stoker and an employee of a re-
frigeration plant are put in a cold
draft or before an open grate Are
each will feel chilly or hot according
to his previous experience and habits.
The stoker will “catch a cold” in the
“draft,” which will have no effect
Whatsoever upon the man used to cold
storage temperature.—San Francisco

TALK AT NANTUCKET.
Where Old Balt 8ea Phrases Come as
Natural as Eating.
There has always been a charm
about Nantucket for outsiders because
of the sleepy qualntness of the place
and the islanders' odd sea phrases so
generously interlarded in their conver-
sations. These phrases are so much a
part of their talk that their use to un-
conscious.
They never pull, they always "haul;"
they do not tie or fasten anything,
they “splice" or “belay" it; they do not
arrange to Ox a thing, they “rig it” or
rig It up;” they do not throw any-
thing away, but “heave it overboard;”
they “back and fill;" they “luff,”
"tack," “come about” and "square
away” on any and all occasions.
Before engaging in any venture they
first “see if the cosst to clear,” then as
they proceed they “keep the weather
eye peeled” and always “look out for
squalls." Then they “sound it out" un-
til they “fathom” It If they don’t
like the “lay of the land” they “give It
a wide berth.”

tucket 8crap Basket,” a book compUed
and edited by William F. Macy and
Roland B. Hussey.
The authors tel) tbe story of a certain
Quaker mother of Nantucket, who ones
denied that she ever used any of the
nautical expressions ao common there,
and told her children to remind her if
they ever caught her doing it. The very
next morning she gave them some eggs
to leave at tbe home of a relative on
the way to school with tbe words;
‘Take these Into Cousin Phebe'a and
tell her I think this squares tbe yard
with us, and tbee must scud, for it’s
almost school time.”
For Testing Gold.
The acid used by Jewelers for testing
gold is extremely powerful and has to
bo very carefully handled. To pre-
vent any considerable quantity of tbe

long pointed glass rod which passes
down the center of the bottle. When

the stopper to simply removed, and
tbe article Is touched with tbe point of
tbe glass rod, to which a very slight
quantity of acid has adhered. Gold to

TORRICELLI’S VACUUM.
Experiment That Lsd to the Invention
of tho Baromotor.
Tbe barometer was Invented by Tor-
ricelli a pupil of Galilei in 1643. In
attempting to pump water from a very
deep well near Florence be found that
In spite of all bis efforts tbe liquid
would not rise higher In the pump
atock than thirty-two feet
This set the young scientist to think-
ing, and aa be could not account for the
phenomenon In any other way he was
not slow in attributing it to atmos-
pheric pressure. He argued that water
would rise in a vacuum only to auch a
height as would render tbe downward
pressure or weight of tbe column of
water Just equal to tbe atmospheric
pressure and, further, that should a
heavier fluid be used tbe height of tbe
column could be much reduced.
To prove tbto be selected a glass tube
four feet long and after sealing one
end filled It with mercury aDd then in
verted It in a basin containing a quan-
tity of the same peculiar liquid. Tbe
column In tbe tube quickly fell to a
height of nearly thirty Inches above
tbe mercury In the basin, leavtng Id
tbe top of tbe tube a vacuum which to
tbe most perfect that has ever been
obtained and which to to this day call-
ed tbe Torricelli vacuum In honor of
its discoverer.
Tbe name of tbe instrument means
“weight or pressure measure," and Its
fundamental principles cannot be bet-
ter illustrated than by the above de-
scribed experiment
