At such a temperature the proper
ties of matter change. Metals lose re
sistance to electricity and become su-
pra-conductors. A thin thread of mer
cury will carry enough electricity to
light several hundred lamps. Helium,
the gas used in our dirigibles, becomes
liquid a few degrees above absolute
zero. In that terrible cold molecules in
matter lose their motion, which may
account for their greater electric con
ductivity. • *

Berlin scientists have created the
coldest spot bn earth, producing in
laboratory experiments a temperature
459 deglees below zero.
Outside our atmosphere, in myste
rious spaces separating solar systems
from each other, there exists M abso-
lute zero.” On our Fahrenheit ther
mometer that would be 461 degrees
below zero, space without heat.
• First abstract science, then useful
appreciation. Practical men may find
a way to create in metals, apart from
any absolute zero temperature, con
ditions similar to those that absolute
zero creates. That would make pos
sible transportation of electric current
without cost or loss, and solve the
problem of cheap power.
Mr, Haldeman-Julius, of Kansas,
whose daughter is just trying a “com
panionate marriage” experiment, tells
the world that his daughter was born
six years before he, Haldeman-Julius,
her father, was married. He didn’t
have money to set up housekeeping,
but the dear little girl was born any
how.
That is interesting, not unusual.
Leonardo da Viaci, second in greatness
among all artists, was born outside
marriage, his father and mother nev
er married. He supported his “legiti-
mate,” respectable high born half
ers and sisters.
, William the Conqueror was born be
fore his father married the interesting
(firl whom he first saw washing
c jothes in a brook as he rode past with

CLINTON-MAID BREAD
P ERHAPS you may want to vnrjf
the time-honored custom of bavin::
a ChAstmas tree. If so, here are some
substitutes that may appeal to you
because of their novelty or practi
cality:
A Christmas umbrella lends itself
well to living room decoration and < re
quires less work in preparation and
clearing away than a tree. Get a
large, colored umbrella, the kind In
use for advertising purposes, or utilize
any old umbrella that may be on hand.
Put a tyeuvy string through a hole
bored in the top just below the fer
rule by means of which to suspend the
open umbrella from the ceiling. The
frame may be decorated in any de
sired manner. A good effect is ob
tained by covering the inner and outer
surface with green crepe paper and
relieving the severity with tinseled
festooning. A-green paper-covered um
brella decorated with “icicles” and
snow like that used on Christmas
trees also makes a strong appeal.
Strings of popcorn, festooning of any
kind, bright-colored paper chains, orna
ments, in fact, anything that is used
to decorate the Christmas tree may
be pressed into service on the Christ
mas umbrella.
Fasten pin books, such as are used
to hang draperies, to the under side of
the umbrella for holding the Christ
mas gifts. The heavier articles should
be hung along the ribs to Insure
safety, but light gifts can be distrib
uted all over the surface.
A Christmas cornucopia Is an inter
esting and unique solution of the prob
lem of gift distribution. Make a large
cornucopia out of cardboard aud cover
It with green or gAt paper. Hang this
from the ceiling so that the large end
Is considerably lower than the small
one.
Before hanging the cornucopia,
place in It the various gifts well
wrapped so as to prevent breakage.
Fasten a cover - firmly over the open
end and decorate it to correspond with
the cornucopia. It is well to have the
large end so arranged in hanging that
when the covering Is removed the
gifts will land on the table
* A Christmas chariot gives little
folks a fine chaqce to help in the dis
tribution of gifts. By using a few
laths, some stiff wire and an old
baby cart, the framework of the
Christinas chariot may be easily fash
ioned. This can be decorated with
crepe paper, tarlatan or the like. The
little fairy queen, airily dressed,
should be seated in tbe chariot drawn
by several of the other children ap
propriately gowned. The gift packages
which the fairy queen distributes
should be tied in white paper with
tinsel cord or delicately colored rib
bons tp harmonize’ with the occasion.
A Christmas cross is easily- con
structed and quite effective as a sub
stitute for the time-honored tree. The
cross may be made of two rough
boards securely fastened to a -base and
the entire surface covered with laurel,
evergreen branches, or green paper
festooning. If small electric lights are
available a pretty effect can be ob
tained by outlining the cross with
colored bulbs. Gifts may be hung on
the cross by means of screw eyes or
small hooks.
While not Inappropriate for the
home, nevertheless, the Christmas
cross seems especially well adapted
for use in the church where an in
teresting program-may center around
it.—Alice Crowell Hoffman.
