A Little (experiment Worth the Try* In* Oat of Hero Cnrloelty. Between bites of the simple break fast he had ordered the young clerk gazed nervously at the restaurant clock. It was plain he had overslept himself and was paving the way to fu ture indigestion by bolting his food. The coffee was the stumbling block. It was hot—very hot—but the clerk need ed it badly, and he sipped It carefully, having due regard for his mouth and tongue. But time pressed, and, with a parting glance at the clock, he reached -for his glass of Ice water and prepared to pour some of the frigid fluid into his cup. ‘‘Don’t spoil your coffee, young man,” said an elderly gentleman who was eating his breakfast on the other side of the table. “You take all the good out of it by putting ice or ice water in it.” The clerk was at first inclined to re sent the Interference, but the patri archal appearance of the other man tempered his resentment. “What am I to do?” he asked. “I am late for the office, and I want this cof fee badly.” “Let me show you a little scheme,” said the elderly man. Taking the cylin drical saltcellar from the table, he wiped it carefully with a napkin, then, reaching over, deposited the glass ves sel in the cup of coffee. “Salt, you know, has peculiar cooling properties,” be said, meanwhile hold ing the receptacle firmly in position. “They put It with Ice to Intensify the cold when making ice cream. It Is used extensively In cold storage warehouses for cooling purposes, and being incased In glass does not affect Its power to any great extent.” As he spoke he withdrew the saltcel lar from the coffee and motioned to the younger man to drink He rals-d the cup to his lips and, to his surpriAo. found the liquid cooled to such an ex tent lh;:t h<* could drink it without in- eon ven i; nee. , “Th ■ uses of salt are manifold. 4 ' said the elderly man. with the air of one be ginning a lecture.
