DIFFICULTY OF DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN EX- ‘TREME WEAT AND EXTREME COLD—ONE CANNOT WAEM ICE ABOVE THIRTY-TWO DEGRERS—HAED To WARM WATER—ACTION OV HEAT ON GasEs. At the Catholic University yesterday after- noon Rev. Geo. M. Searle, C.& P., delivered the first of course of publie lectures on “Heat.” We suppose, he said. that we can tell the difference between a hot object and a cold | one, but we have to acknowledge that if the hwat or cold is very considerable we cannot ex- actly tell which it is, anda general feeling of pain is all that we can distinguish. In moderate temperatures sometimes a thing seems watm to oue person and cold to another, and the same temperature effects the same person differently at different times. But does not the ther mometer show how much heat there is in the object? Let us experiment little. Put to- gether equal parts of alcohol at 50 degrees and water somewhere near the boiling point, say at 200 degrees. This, Tam given to under- stand, is rather » familiar experiment with ie people, especially on festive occasions. What will the temperature of the mixture be? Most people will say 125 degrees, half way between 50 and 200 bat if we put in» thermometer we find it in 150 degrees: in other words, the water degrees, while the alcohol has been warmed by 100 degrees, or twice ax much. A second experiment: ‘Take a pound of mer- cury at 100 degrees and a pound of water at 40 degrees, stir up the mixture. Will the tem- tire then be 70 degrees, half way between 0 anda hundred? No, by no means, it will ouly be 42 degrees; the water has’ hardly warmed perceptibly. Now, we begin to see why water puts out fires. CANNOT WARM ICE. Again, take » pound of ice and try to warm it, When the ice is very cold we shall succeed, but when it gets up to $2 the warming will and we ean warm it no more until it is all ited. ‘The same thing when it begins to Doll. When it ins started boiling you ean put in enough heatto raise it a thousand degrees in temperature, but it will still stay at 202.

Now, let us heat the air again under the same circumstances and just as long as before. Now, the piston will move, the air will press it out, but the thermom- eter will not rise near so much as it did be- fore. By these : ita we see that the ther- mometer does not measure heat, even in the popular sense. What does it measure? It measures what we call temper: be able to define temperature clearly until our third lecture. ‘Two bodies are said to be at the same temperature when no heat wiil pass from one to the other when they are brought intocon- tact. Asa rule the rise and fall of teraperature is measured quantitatively by the amount of heat which passes from one to the other. For every quantity of heat that comes in we have a ding rise in temperature. But rise ure of the thermometer will be ACTION OF BEAT O8 GasES. After describing the different kinds of scales in thermometers Prof. Searle went on to speak of the action.of heat on gases.

CRANOR I JACKSON CITY. The appearance of the place called Jackson City has changed considerably during recent days and those who visit there often wonder where it got its name. There was nothing there but the remnants of what was once 8 common brick building painted yellow and sev- eral frame shanties that were formely used by the fishermen who fahed on the shores before P that had been made into stoppin pret e bank of the the few sporting men, and on river was sign “Migous For Sale.” Now the poo! men have had buildings erected which are not the prettiest in the world ou the outside, but inside of them there is plenty of room and the buildings are comfortably ar- ranged for the hundreds of men who frequent them every day. The building occupied by Lynn & Wall is a new structure, as is also the one occupied by James and Company and Vandergrift and Com- pany. The latter building is much larger than the former and in it fully two hundred persons can move about at the same time. ‘A SALOON ATTACHMENT. Some distance below these is another place where odds are offered on the races, and it has a saloon attachment, so that the man who loses can turn around and drown his sorrows in rum. There is also a saloon in front of Vander- grift & Co.'s place, which is carried on in Tanner as creditable as the average city saloon, ‘The last place of the kind after crossing the bridge is what is known asa “chop house.” t means a place where small betu such as 25 and 50cents are taken,and to top the whole business there is what the sports stone backer.” ‘This enterprising individual has no interest at stake, but he stands on the ta “eurb- roperty ighway with book in his hands and takes beta in any amount at about the same rates that are given inside the rooms.

Sandwiches, cakes and pies that are home-made, apples and a few other articles are sold, in addition to tea and coffee, and the betters frequently enjoy a lunch at one of these tabl A LANOE CROWD YESTERDAY. The crowd at the rooms yesterday seemed considerably larger than when the rooms were located at Monte Carlo, nearly inside the city limits. It. was composed of men only, no boys being admitted.

One man who was in the party, the. reporter learned,. reached there with 25 cents in his pocket’and went away with nearly 850. “tipsters,” or the man with » “dead sure winner,” were there in fall force, and after the race had been run they could be heard saying to the winners: “Didn't I tell you #0?” and to the lovers, in order that the latter might not lose contidence in them, “Well, yougotagood run for your money.” The aces that were being bet upon were being run at Gloucester and Guttenberg, where weather seldom has anything to do with stopping them, as they are run for the purpose of supplying food for the bookmakers twelve months in. the year.

Several society wits have, it is said, already be- gan to cudgel their brains in the manufacture of an equally exeruciating query which shall put the memory of this one completely in the shade and which each fondly expects will run through a regular season with as much success as the last fashionable play. When it makes ite ‘pearance you shall be sure to hear of it. PROCESSION OF LAUNDRESSES. ‘The procession of the laundresses in Paris, which is always one of the sights of the beauti- fal city,was this year a most marked success. In fact people say it has not been equaled in years. There were hundreds of thousands of people along the boulevards, all eager to see the parade and all testifying to its excellence as compared with the last oncs. The heroine of the occasion, she who has been elected by her fellows as queen of the laundresses, is Mademoiselle Louise Sicard, a beautiful brunctte of twenty-six summers. She is a statuesque creature of a tall and commanding figure, which, though powerfully built, is nevertheless exceedingly graceful. Her profile is classical, out of a type which is common enough in the province of which she is a native. She bass low forehead, s head of wavy, Jet black{hair, dark, ardent’ eyes and an open- hearted mile." So, as yon may imagine, she was not long in winning a popular place in the good graces of the assembled multitude.

Mademoiselle Alla Ramee, who, of course, is more widely known as “Ouida,” is, as usual, the herome of « grievance. She is wild be- cause some African mining speculators have named their company after her, She has, there- fore, availed herself of that course which seemingly everybody with a reputation and nearly everybody without seeks when he wants to grumble. vis: She has written a letter to the Times in which she complains of the impudence of these people at what she no doubt considers a desecration of the name of, perhaps, the most prolitic author living. JAMES PAYN JOINS PUNCH. ‘There is good news for those Anglo-maniacs who affect Punch, which it is the fashion to say is the most-dreary comic paper ever produced, but which in spite of this reputation every- body considers it his duty to read. The news is that Mr. James Payn, the celebrated novelist, has just joined the staff and will of conrse take part in the weekly dinners which it holds.

The boy lives in Brooklyn and there are German bands over there even to this day, but it was a week before one came within his reach. The band came down Willow street and turned into Middagh.

The band consulted and decided upon “Little Fisher Maiden.” ‘The boy yin & gnawed a hole in one end of his lemon.

And the B-flat cornet, which has thrust off upon it the air when the first two cannot get down low enongh, and the two B-flat tenors and the two E-flat altos and the B-flat baritone, which gets a base solo now and then, and the Cg pe joes not get anything except a great Se verse of “Little Fisher Maiden” so that district messenger boy stopped to hear them.
