You have, probably heard people say that children should be lightly clad, because this bardess than against the cold. It reminds one of the Zulu practice of dipping new-born infants into the coldest water Zululand produces so as to kill off the weaklings. By the principle of the survival of the toughest, no-doubt-both practices may be defended; but either process is likely to do considerable harm even to those who do survive it,

The case is analogous to certain testing in connection, with engineering. Steam boilers, before they are pul into use, are subjected ta hydinulic pressure greater than that at which they are to work. If, however, this hydraulic pressure is too great (even though the boiler stand it), permanent harm may be done to iba' boiler, which is then in a worse state than before testing,

A BCIENTIFIC PARADOX," Talking of warmth reminds me that during the winter many people will be talking of, chimneys "drawing." We also speak of the suction of a pump. There is not so much harm in these expressions, except that they are. liabl to lend us away, from the true, state of affairs. But, in truth, there is no such thing ap suction. Suction is merely partial or entire Abience of pressure in one place, which enabler the greater pressure of air or fluid in anothei place to rush in. In the case of the chimney, the heated air in it does not weigh so much as a qual volume of cold air; and if the air in the chimney, the air in the room, and the out side air were all at the same temperature, there would be no tendancy to an motion. Fut when the air in the chimney is hot, it does not press downwards so much as the colder sur rounding air presses upwards/Consequently an upward current is started, and will continue if the air in the chimney in kop! hot, '~

Similarly, there is no such thing as cold: Cold is merely absence of heat, just as dark is absence of light. So that cold thing is one which has very little heat in it, and a dark,
