WHY ICE FLOATS.
It la Specifically Lighter Than Water Just
About to Freese.
Ice is specifically "lighter" than water
just about to freeze, 'and, therefpre,
floats upon it, says an exchange. There
is one reason why the formation of ice
usually, but not always, begins at the
surface. Another reason is because of
its peculiar law of expansion. The
general law is that cold induces con
traction. This holds good in the case
of water only to a certain point. When
water has cooled down to within 7.4 de
grees of freezing it ceases to contract
as before, and, with increased cold,
actually begins to expand, and con
tinues to do so until it freezes. This
expansion causes the colder portions of
the water to rise to the surface.
Above we have said that ice does not
always begin to form at the surface of
the water. The exception is in the
case of what is known as "ground" or
"anchor ice." In this case the whole
body of the water is cooled at the same
time to Delow the freezing point, and the
substances at the bottom, such as the
stones and pebbles of river or lake beds,
serve as a nucleus or point of congela
tion and crystallization for the water.
This rare 6pecies of ice is formed under
such peculiar circumstances that others
than students and experimenters sel
dom see it.
Bismarck's Diplomacy.
One day the Austrian emba.asa.rlor to
the federal diet, Count Rechberg, re-
ceivea a aispatcli instructing him to
rote with Prussia for a certain impor
tant measure, accompanied with a con-
naentiai letter directing him to induce
the representatives of the other Ger
man states to vote against the measure
ana tnus defeat it. in his haste he
handed the wrong paper to Bismarck,
who read and returned it with the re
mark: "There must be some mistake
here." Rechbersr saw his blunder, antl
irrew Dale and excited. "Don't h u.
turbed," said Bismarck; "you did not
intend to give me this document, and
therefore vou have not civ-en it to mn.
and I am wholly ignorant of its con
tents." in iact, ne made no mention of
it in his official reports, and thus won
Bechberir's gratitude, besides bavins
him henceforth "on the hip."

LIVING TOO FAST.
The Physical Condition of the American
Feople.
There are two most undesirable
tilings that belong to the physical side
of our nation, and one" is very largely
tlepcndent upon the other if not the
outgrowth of it. These-arc the dis
ease called neurasthenia, better under
stood if we call it tired-out-nerves, and
the other the serious defects' of vision
which we all recognize Indeed the oc
ulists (nod they are not responsible
for it) are fast transforming us into a
spectacled uution.
The rush and bustle of this American
life is too much for us. We live too fast,
cat, Bleep, end die too fast. Our civili
zation nmUes us live fast. We are'
quick-fortune-making people. Wali
street has shown us how fortunes can be
made in a day and lost in a day. To ac
quire the one and avoid the other lias
made many men of 40 assume the ap
peo ranee of men of 80. It is safe to say
that Wall street nod the peculiar kind
of fever generated in similar localities
affords one of the most serious menaces
to the people of this country and I do
not except social vices and the evils of
liquor.
And yet every college gymnasium in
the country, every Young Men's Chris
tian association, is at work nic-nsurihg
and testing Us members, and the results
of these measurementA and tests will
return to us much of value. Prom
thenr we, shall leavn what, we hnve rf
physical value in certain classes ot our
populnt ion. True, they come from se
lected hisses and do not by any means
cover the whole ground, ajid yet they
are most important to the student of
anthropology. Our police records, too,
are becoming of more value in that
from them we learn more of th
physical make-up of the criminal class.
In many of our large cities,' pursuant
to a plan adopted in France, and Bel
gium and other continental countries,
exact measurements as well ns photo
graphs of nil criminnls are made.
While this Is done larwly as a menns of
identifying later, still it is giving to us
certain physical characteristic which
ann almost be called constants of the
criminal class. Prof. E. llitchoock, Jr.
M. D., in Clmutauquan.

'What ia the difference," asked a cor
respondent, aproos of LI If unff Chang'n
journey to Kurope, "between a yellow
jacket, a button, or peacock's feather,
on the one hand, and a thin! le, a bath, or
a Ifiirter, on Mie other? Why do we lav
inh so much ridicule on the Importance
ttu!hed to the first set of emblems by
the Chinese when we ourselves net Just
as much store by the nocond set?"
There is much force In these questions,

the wafrs in the prenn who are nlwayn

Inj: at the matter Impartially, it seems
to me that a yellow jacket, or a frlss

auhulile for tliK-oratlve purposes than

TEMPERATURE DURING ECLIPSE
flie Wonderful Scientific Discovery of a
French Astronomer.
The astronomers are constantly oh
the lookout for something remarkable
Which may be connected with natural
phenomena. Upwards of 50 years ago
Prof. Marcet, of Geneva, Switzerland,
Suggested that the darkening of the sun
during solar eclipses probably ' had
some alight effect on the temperature.
In 1852 M. Berigny, a French astrono
mer, commenced some experiments
which were calculated to test the truth
of the theory advanced by Prof. Mar
cet. He provided himself with delicate
instruments of the most approved pat
tern and took Si observation's between
4ugust, 1852. and Mat 3. 1891. In sum
ming up they results of this femarkable
neries or observations M. Dehgny says:
"I find that wheri the nky is freefrom
clouds during an eclipse the tempera
ture of the air fs sensibly lowered, but
if the sky is overcast with cloud, hows
ever thirl and 'attenuated, the terhpera-
uic 19 . niurriwcu j.ruiii iiie moment oi
contact until some minutes after t.h
eclipse is ended."
Here is . something . certainly won
derful, the mos't remarkable ' point
nbbut it being the' fact "that ' during

nessWhere I'llohard and
Ilerrlng AbouuiL
Deep-sea fishing is an almost un
known industry at the antipodes, al
though the Australian coast, especially
that of New South Wales, is regular
ly frequented by immense shoals of
pilchards, herrings, sprats and other
edible fish, of excellent flavor, and read
ily "captured by those possessing the
requisite skill and experience. Mr. J.
Douglas Ogilby, of the Sydney muse
um, alluding to this, says: Notwith
standing that for many years it has
lieert so well known that out seas teem
with herrings, and that great fortunes
await those who make an effort to
gather this harvest of vhe deep, and
that in comparison with such countries
as Scotland, Canada and the New Eng
land states of North America, we are
favored with all the. advantages accru
ing from serener skies and more peace
ful seas, we are, nevertheless, content
to sit idle year after year and make no
attempt to gather the wealth thus prod
igally spread out before us; while at
the same time, we are annually expend
ing thousands of pounds in convtying
(cross our more fecund waters the salt
ed, tinned and potted products won
from the tempestuous and frigid sen
cf the North Atlantic by our hardier
relatives.
The pilchard and herrirg are found
in immense quantities off Hie New
South Wales coast dw-h.g tirj voider
months, the spawn of the si.-r being
found in abundance ou ti.. lews fre
quented portions of the flioi.s. The
pilchard haa a wide range throughout
the Pacific ocean, from the shores of
North and South America westward,
but nowhere is it more ubundiint than

Nothing is more pathetic in tibia world
than the fate which brings the fulfill

on the vanity of human anticipations
occurred not long ago to one of the
toilers of Babylon, who, longing be

of this world, had, like Tantalus, reached
out ever in, vain for the cakes and ale

roundings, Miss A- life was one long,
unskillful desire. Instead of making
the best of the present, she spent her
time continually in making plans for
the future. Everything was sacrificed
to the elusive hope of the possible riches
which would, she imagined, once ob
tallied, make life so delightful and tie.

"Good by, dearie," said Mrs. Junius,
as she hung about her husband's neek
and bothered him in putting oh his
overcoat. "I shall be busy here at home
all day with the affairs of the house and.
am sure that with you busy at the
office we shall be a very busy couple.
You won't forget, will you, to call in at
Price & Bargain's and get me two
spools of silk to match the sample I put
in your pocket? Have you got it in
your pocket? Yes, here it is." Well,
go to the silk counter and the young
girls lhat wears glasses; anyway, I
know she is near-sighted, for I saw a
young man bow to heron the street and
she didn't return it and show her this
sample and tell her who it is for; she
will kitow just what you want, and
now I do hope you will be careful ami,
not slip, for the sidewalks are just
awful, snd, think of it 1 If you should
fall and break your leg, and j ou know
your accident policy has run. out, and
I do hope you will not have a hard day at
the Office. Now, for play sake, put on
your gloves before you start out and if
you see the grocery man tell him to
change my order to chops, but not the
long, stringy kind that he brought last
time, which I had to give to the eat, for
somehow We've got to keep our market
bills down this year or else what will
become of us? And you know the gas
bothers us terribly, so lf you see the
man don't forget to speak to him, will
you? There, good-by, darling. I shall
be thinklngofyousll the minutes of the
