(OLD SURFACE CATCH
DUST MORE THAN HOT
The reason that lath and plaster
walls become streaked is explained
by John Aitken in Nature as due
to the tendency of hot air to de
posit its dust on cold surfaces; and
the colder the surface the weaker
the power of resistence. So where
the laths protect the plaster from
the cold outside the plaster receives
less deposite of dust than where it
is between the laths.
Wherever a hot stream of water
pipe comes through a wall a ver
tical streak of dust may be seen
above it. due to the hot airs driving
the dust against the cold wall.
Rooms that are heated by open
grates are much less dusty than
those heatd by radiators, because
in the former the furniture is
heated principally by radiation, and
being warmer than the air, it re
pels the particles of dust instead
of catching them, while in the
latter the air heats the furniture
and i? so doing doposifs its dust
on it.
Rooms lighted by electricity keep
clean longer than those heated by
gas,simply because the light is al
most cold. Mr. Aitken sums it up
as follows. “Any surface hotter
than the air keeps free from dnst.’

WATER DOES NOT FALL
UNLESS AIR ENTERS
Here is an ancient experiment
upon which several famous theories
have been based. If a vessel of
water having a hole in the top
■weral narrow holes in the bot
tom be suspended in the air, no
water will fall from it so long as
the upper hole remain closed; as soon
as the upper hole is opened the
water will fall. You can test this
with a gass tube full of water; so
’or.g as you keep your finger over
•he upper end the water will not
' ■ mV: the instant veu lift. youv
t]1c wsltcr drops.
J "-n*Jc; ii^nvinr +h"o air and
according to Aristotle’s physics,
should fall to the ground. What
then keeps it up? Early physi
cists said that the fall of the water
would produce a vacuum, and that
vacuum n cannot exist In nature
Roger Bacon said that this argu
ment was a fallacy, because a va
cuum does not exist. He advanced
the hypothesis that although by
their particular natures water tends
downward and air upward, by their
nature as parts of the universe
they tend to remain in continuity.
But a writer more than a cen
tury earlier than Bacon offered
this law of universal continuity.
Prof. Lynn Thorndike of Western
Reserve University points out In
a letter to Nature that Adelard of
Bath in a dialogue with his nephew
about such a vessey which they
han seen, wrote:
“If it was magic, then enchant
ment was worked by violence of na
ture rather than of waters. For
although four elements compose
the body of this world of sense,
they are so united by natural af
fection that, as no one of them
desires to exist without another, so
no place can be void of them. There
fore immediatesly one of them
leaves its position, another succeeds
it without interval, nor can one
leave its place unless some other,
which is especially attached to it
can succeed it.” Hence it is futile
to give the water a chance to get
opt unless you give the air a chance
to get in.
