JOSEPH W. BAILEY

An*tin, Tmcm, March 16.-
According to Representative
Dayton* former Senator Joseph
W. Bailey will be a visitor in
Austin while the special session
df'ftbe legislature is on, and he
will be invited to address the
legislature.' Mr.. Day ton says he
is sure Mr. Bailey will be a can-
didate for the senate to succeed

‘’That’s why I feel so free to critl-

body knows I don’t pretend to un-
derstand ’em, and therefore nobody*
ought to take offenpe.”

“Good,” said the sergeant, “I was
afraid that you were all too drunk. 'T l

with the rest of you. It would have «'
been a bad job for us If I hadn’t want- f
where we saw moving figures and
plenty of them. “I had the alarm
sounded just to remind those monkeys
that they can’t patch the Legion
asleep, and the regimental call was
blown on the off chance that It would
be heard In Ras-el-Chel, telling the
company that there Is business go-
ing on here.”
It was nearly seven o’clock before
they came. It was good that they
didn’t start earlier, for there were .sev-
eral hundreds of them with modern;
rifles. They climbed up Into the palm
trees and shot down at us* hut that
gave us a better chance at them for
we couldn’t miss birds of that slse.
Every shot we fired brought one down.
"Our bugler was the first to lose his )
number. He was shot through the
head, and he stood In the angle of
the parapet and remained standing
as tf he were effective. f * '
That gave us an Idea, and an each

most Intense heat. n
Very evidently, if watej la separat-
ed Into its constituent elements, the
oxygen and the hydrogen, no longer
bound together, are able each to per-
form its natural functions. The tar-,
mer adds greatly to combustion, and
the latter not only burns readily, hut
materially intensifies the heat.
This Is precisely what occurs when
a small quantity of water Is added-to
the coal fed to the flames. There Is
not enough of the fluid to extinguish
the lire. Instead the fire acts upon fon
water, dissolving the bonds which
unite Its component gases, thus sal-
ting the oxygen free to accelerate
combustion and converting the hydra*
gen Into fuel of tremendous heating
power.
In throwing a little water upon the
coal therefore, the blacksmith attains
the same results as if he added mate-
rially to the draft produced by tbe
bellows, and at the same time poured
a little hydrogen upon the flame*.
The resultant heat is not to be pro-
duced from coal alone under ordinary
conditions.

Icebergs and Sea Water.
That the temperature of sea viator
rises slightly near an Iceberg, as one
man of science has asserted, Is a con-
clusion not borne out by thn investiga-
tions of the bureau of standards. 1 •Br-
ing tbs summer patrol of the Unitri
States steamships Chaster and Bfn-
mlngham in the North Atlantic. Mem-
bers of the staff of the bureau took au-
tomatic records of the temperature cr
the water. The records Show thot
changes of temperature In the sea for
from Icebergs are at least as g.pat
and sudden as the changes near ttifcx
and that they, do not point to ft*
presence of leebeiffS. They find dlko
that an Iceberg mors often lowers than
raises the temperature of the wqL>r
near it. These conclusions are iden-
tical with those arrived at by the ob-
servers on the Scotia, which was Mint
