the opposite negative moist plate glass, an object-lesson of co-related forces?"

While thus musing I fell into ruminating how our
breath, invisible in warm atmosphere, in frosty weather
becomes visible, in a manner materialized, as I saw illus- trated by all the passengers present, puffing away like
little steam engines, emitting the molecular particles with
which their respective engines had been fed.

Your own breath will in frosty air convince you that
it materializes in infinitesimal crystallizations before your
very eyes.

In conjunction with this I may mention that on some
empty store windows were visible innumerable enlarged
snowflakes, dotting the pane of glass on the inside, the
