The Cost of Talk.
Press and Printer observes:
oTalk in cheap"until .you begin
putting itin type. Then it costs
monéy.� That depends. If a
business firm have anything to
say that is worth listening to the
matter of cost is not worthy of
consideration. But the advertising
that merely pays its way is useless:
Itis scarcely to be d-gnified by the
term oadvertising� unless it car-
ried a goad_balance to the profit
side of the book.
An Uhio magistrate has refus-
ed to unite in marriage a young

ground of refusal is so reasonable,
and so evident, that the wonder is
that it is not a long-established
precedent instead of a novelty of
judical view."YouthsT Compan-

. The Zero of Temperature.
Noexplorer has yet.been able to |
hang his cap~on the north pole, norT
has the chemist in his laboratory
yet succeeded in reaching what may |
be called ihenorth pole of his re.
searclics"namoly, the zero of tem- |
perature, or the temperature of ce-
fined as that pointof temperature at
which gas particles would give no
pressure and have no volume, a con-
dition which, it is said, would take
place at a temperature of 274 de.
grees below the freezing point of
water. Unlike the arctic cxplorers,
however, who have a number of
roads open, by which to approach
the pole, the chemist has only one
route by which to reach the chilly
destination he seeks, and that is by
the liquefaction of all the gases
ready been accomplished, but. the
chemist in search of the zero tem-
perature knows better.
Though compressed hydrogen
when expanded yiclds.a mist, the
victory over this baffling element
has not been achieved, and as the
experiments in this direction are
difficult and costly it seems proba.
ble that the explorers will reach the
north pole, by balloon or otherwise,
long before the chemists reach their
zeroic temperature, the temperature
of celestial space. One practical re-
sult the chemist names as a reason
of his researches after the zero
temperature is that should it ever
be reached we could then complete-
ly transform heat into mechanical
power, whereas at present we suc-
cced in getting only about 10 per

Chief Utan, the auburn haired

the mere fact that they tell how the

chewing a straw with certain super-
natural qualities will bring his din-

and shading his eyes with his hand
