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.

Do You Take
Spiritual Exercise?
BY DR, HERBERT SPAUGH
Do you take daily exercises?
Physical? Spiritual?
As there is a new interest in
physical exercises, andanumber
of good books are available on
the subject, I am turning to spiri
tual daily exercises on which
there is not much material a-
vailable I quote below copy of
spiritual exercises sent to me
by a correspondent*
“My Spiritual Daily Exercises*

all my cares, troubles and wor

His Divine way. “Casting all your
cares upon Him for He cares
for you. .

arms to catch the bounty that is
mine. “I will lift up mine eyes
unto the hills. . .Bless the Lord,
0 my soul. . .and forget not

“Whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,

none occasion of stumbling in
him.”
7. EAR EXERCISE-1 listen for
the voice of God. “Be still, and
know that I am God.’

smile, smile. “The joy of the Lord

resolve that only words that are
constructive and loving come
from my lips today. “Be ye kind

walk fearlessly on the path that
God directs. “They that wait upon
the Lord. . .shall walk and not
faint.’

in love as Christ hath loved you
. . .Let brotherly love continue.*

commune with Christ within my
heart all this day. “In His law
doth he meditate day and night. ’

Telephone Office
Expansion Slated
Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany Manager Ray Fernell re
cently announced a $46,000 Cen
tral Office expansion.
He said that Western Electric
installers are working now to
connect equipment in the tele
phone building that will provide
1000 more telephone numbers for
Clinton.
Most telephone subscribers
never see the switching appara
tus and equipment that makes
their telephone work, Fernell
said.
“We are proud of this expan
sion and would like for more
people to see their telephone sys
tem in operation. We are glad
for groups to visit us. Anyone
wishing to arrange for a visit may
do so by just calling our office.*
The project is expected to be
completed by January 15th, 1968.
