How Rivers Freeze

A correspondent of the Scientific
American writing from n point on the
Susquehana river, says:
When the severe cold weather came
upon us 80 suddenly in November, last,
my attention was called to n curious
phenomenon in the Susquehana river
here, l noticed large number of stones
clinging to the other side Of the ice.
The rivertherewas two or three feet deep
the ice at that time about three inches
thick.
The stones were the rounded river
stones, and evidently came from the
bottom of the river. They were of all
sizes up to those weighing probably
two pounds. The phenomenon Is not q
new one, but it vas displayed here on
SO large a scale, and the conditions &C.
corded so perfectly with those that the
scientific explanation demands, that 1t
seems to be worth while to call atten-
ten to 1t.
More than two hundred years ago,
DIR. Plot OF Oxford, England, described
similar occurrences in the Thames, and
gave ut least a partial account Of their
true cause 1t is well known that

grees. But II Its temperature is low.
cred still further 1t expands until
reaching 32o, when it freezes, by which
its bulk is increased much more than
by its cooling from 800 to 32o. Hence
it is that water begins to freeze at the
surface, since, when near the freezing
point, the coolest water being the
lightest is found upon the top, and it
Is that which freezes first.
But when the weather is very cold.
and the different parts of the stream
are thoroughly mixed by rapids or some
such mechanical action, the water may

Omaha Capitalists are De-
veIopIng In Wyoming.

Wyoming is the Pennsylvania of the
west, and its maryels of oleaginous and
mineral wealth are only half apprecia-
ted. The Herald gave a description
OF the prospecting Of a party Of Omaha
capitalists in Sweetwater county. Wy
oming, at the time when they COM
menced boring for oil last year. These
gentlemen have formed a company
entitled the ''Rocky Mountain Oil Co..
The principal owners are Samuel Rog-
ers., DIR. Geo. b. Graf, Frank Muir
ply and j. l.. Loyatt.
A Herald reporter met DIR. Graf
yesterday, on his return from a
months trip from the oil bonanza re-
gion, and gained al idea Of the way it
pans out, which is something so i'm
mense that at first it can hardly be re-
allied that one Is dealing with cold
facts and figures and not INDUCING in
a day dream. But facts they are be-
yond dispute.
The company can store from 1000 to
1900 barrels Of oil a day when they de-
sire and can dispose Of it and have rea-
son to believe that theirs is an oil in
terest larger than that of the whole of
Pennsylvania and far easier developed.
The president Of the company guar
antees that they can produce $4,000
barrels per day when they require it.
The value Of the Wyoming oil has
already been tested. In its crude state,
without refining or treatment, it serves
as IN excellent lubricating oil and the
Union Pacific engines are using it. This
summer the oil company propose to
erect q refinery alongside the Union
Pacific railway t rack, where they viii
refine it for Illuminating purposes, ma
king NJ excellent headlight oil. DIR.
Graf has been out to see about building
q direct wagon road from the wells to
the railroad, instead Of following the
present roundabout way, the length Of
the former being seventy-six miles. He
was driven back by the winter the sea-
son being too little advanced. The de-
mand for the oil is extending to En-
gland. from which several orders have
already been received. DIR. Graf is
looking forward to the time when these
wells shall supply all the country west
Of the Missouri.
Another product of this region is the
hardened oil. which resembles soft coal
in appearance, but has ten times its
heating value. There are at least
100000 tons lying in the Sweetwater
region now, to be had for the quarrying.
1t is presumed to be only a matter of
time when the U. p. engines will be
consuming this fuel. A similar kind
is burned on the Russian railways.
Still another product of this prolific
country is soda, and DIR. Graft has just
sold a soda lake in Sweetwater county
to a Pittsburg party, who intends
starting a glass factory on the spot. The
manufacturers can obtain both coal and
sand In the immediate vicinity, whereas
the Pittsburg factories are obliged to
bring their sand from New Jersey. the

from England.

SENATOR MAnoNE,s SPEECH.

Senator Malone, during his speech,
last Monday, said: Gas to the senator
from Georgia BROWN, who seems to be
80 much troubled about reimbursement,
he questioned whether tile worldhad ever
produced a mar who could so readily
readjust himself to all conditions and
circumstances. That gentleman had
got ahead Of the people and of the
democratic party, in his effort to dis
solve the union. And he was the first
governor in the south to ccnfiscate
private property in the courts of Savan-
nah, and to seize Fort Pulaski before
the act Of secession. In the struggle
that ensued, he (Brown) was earnest
for the cause until its fortunes began
to waver, and then abandoned it with
his militia. After the wal he was next
heard Of in the Chicago republican
convention. In fact. that gentleman
might say, with the poet laureate,
linen may come and men may go, but
l go on forever" He was next heard
of as a radical candidate for the United
States senate, but was beaten by n
more moderate republican. He next
appeared as IN a~ppointee of the carpet
bag governor Of Georgia, the prince of
carpat-baggers, Bullock, to the Office Of
chief justice Of that state. which posi-
tion he subsequently resigned to take
the presidency Of q railroad company.
Nov, that gentleman was here as a

explanation was, the democratic party

THE HUMOROUS ARTIST.
Interesting Account OF willard, whose
Pictures nre Well known.

-
Everybody is familiar with a picture
in which a little boy is seated in a cart
trying to hold in a dog harnessed to a
vehicle. but in fierce pursuit of a rabbit.
One little girl sits beside the plucky
boy, and another has been jolted out of
the cart, while in the distance the dis
mayed mother contemplates the runa-
way. This spirited sketch was first
painted on the side Of a wagon in a vii
lage of northern Ohio, where Ryder,
the Cleveland photographer, was struck
by its merits. 1t was the work of a
Mr.. Willard, who had painted it as a
bit OF diversion to relieve the ordinary
drudgery Of his trade. Ryder gave the
mechanic artist 5000 for a copy of the
sketch on canvas, and, repeated in
photographs and chromos, it became
popular all over the country. Wizards
next great hit was deacon Jones' ex-
%perience," a picture Of family prayer
interrupted by o fight between a cat
and dog. Ryder doubled the populari-
ty of this sketch by getting Bret Harte
to write verses appropriate to it for the
sum Of $3.50. At the centennial the
Ohio artist made his mark by another
well-known picture called yankee
Doodle" This is the familiar painting
in which three continental musicians,
two drummers and a ifer are leading
the troops on the battlefield. AL the
figures are studies from life. The cen
trai figure. the brave old drummer, is a
portrait Of Wizards aged father. The
ffer is that Of a local performer on this
instrument, much in request Mt parades
Of the militia, and the boy drummer is
a portrait Of a son of General Dever-
eaux, president Of the Atlantic &
Great Western railroad, u boy at that
time about twelve or fourteen years of
age. Since then Willard has been busy
at all sorts Of job work, and has pain
ted numbers Of pictures, more or less
popular. Perhaps the best known
among them is the c~aricature of Raph-
ael's celebrated cherubs, in which But

The cant phrase still current in many

remark: "That will serve your turn;

tried to initiate it, but they were inva-
riably detected and compelled either to
