C., December 12, 1968—17 Well, What Do You Know 1 lun, games and knowledge oy MARTHA GLAUBER SHARP, Editor, The New Book ot Knowledge What president of the United States was also an inventor 0 Thomas Jefferson, third presi dent of the United States, in vented a number of ingenious devices. He invented a clock that told the day of the week as well as the time of day, a dumbwaiter to bring food from the basement kitchen to the first-floor dining room of his home at Monticello; a four-sided music stand that held the sheet music for four players at once; an odometer (a device for measuring the distance trav eled by a wheeled vehicle); a swivel chair; a device that he called the polygraph, which made exact duplicates of letters as they were being written; and an im proved plow. Do fish sleep? Most fishes do not sleep as we do. They do not have eyelids that close. But they do rest when the light dims. Triggerfish lie down on their sides to rest. It is start ling to see them lying on the bot tom of the sea, looking up at the observer. Are there fires that cannot be put out with water? Some fires cannot be put out with water. In fact, with some kinds of fires, water will do more harm than good. For example, a pan of cooking oil may catch fire on a stove, or some fat in a broiler may flare up. Oil and grease float on water. If vou try to put out an oil fire with water, the flaming oil will come to the top of the water and continue to burn. Such a fire can be put out quickly with a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. If no fire ex tinguisher is available, salt can be used to smother the flame. It is very dangerous to put water on a fire that starts in electrical wir ing. The reason is that water con ducts electricity. The current can travel up the stream of water to the hand and give a bad or even fatal shock. The best way to pull out an electrical fire is with a car bon dioxide fire extinguisher. Does a stone weigh the same in water as in air? A stone weighs less in water than it does in air because of the buoyant force of the water. A simple experiment proves the point. All you need is a stone and a spring balance. Weigh the stone in the air. Then weigh it in water. 1 You will find that it weighs less under water. The reason is that the buoyant force of the water pushes up. on the stone and thus supports some of its weight.
