Ice I'm Volcanoes.

J. D. Bennar in Buffalo Courier
When water evaporates or changes
Its state from that of liquid to gas or
steam 1T requires very much more
heat to maintain itself in the latter con-
dition than in the former. AT the sea lev
ell water boils when it reaches 100 de-
grees centigrade (2l2 Fahrenheit.) and
the steam which is given off will
also register 100 degrees on the cent?
grade thermometer yet it actually
contains $50 degrees of heat over and
above that which is sensible by pass
ing the steam into cold water, when
one pound of steam will raise rather
more than five pounds of water 5.36
pounds) from the freezing to the boil
ing point. Now the tremendous evap-
oratiOn of water from the surface of
some subterranean lake which was in
the vicinity of the volcano, and COM
municating with it by channel, ab-
stracted heat so quickly and in such
enormous quantities from the body of
water that it was frozen TO a great
depth before the eruptive power of the
volcano reached it which consequently
belched. forth the immense fields of ica
spoken Of.
On q small scale, the laboratory,
with bent glass tube having built
on one end containing water, by rare
flying or exhausting the air in the tube
ice will be formed in the bulb, rs the
ste am rising from the water abstracts
its heat. The same is obtained oy
pouring sulphuric ether on the bulb
The rapid evaporation of ether ab
stracting the heat from the water caus
es it to CONCEAL, and this being the re
suit on small scale 1t is only rationa
to believe it possible it in the volcanic
eruption in Java.

Baptizing Yoqui Indians.

Guavmas Mex } Cor. Louisville Courer-Journal.
At the close of tho morning service
on Il recent Sunday the right of bap-
tism was administered in the baptstry,
located in the base of one of the tow
ers, to number of Yoqui Indian chill
dren. They were all infants of very
tender age, and with very little raiment
on, u strip Of cloth, more or less care
lesSly arranged, constituting the climax
in this direction, from which the babies
brown arms and legs were continually
breaking forth, and occasionally the
entire infant, which, with II vigorous
effort, triumphantly cast off its unac-
custOmed bonds. The men and women
were fairly dressed in the prevailing
costume of the country. They are a
wild, harmless appearing people.
After the baptism they all embraced,
both men and women, or, rather, gave
q sort of half-embrace, stretching their
arms out toward each other without
really putting them about each other,
and afterward they shook hands, evil
dently form of congratulation over
the advent of the new babies; although
! they looked as solemn as the Sphinx
all the time. These Indians are natives
of the YOqui valley, some distance TO
the eastward of Guaymas, but are now
scattered all over Sonora, making the
most effective workers in the country.
They are very largely employed in the
mines, one Yoqui being considered
worth half n dozen MeXicans.

Turfmen observe some traits in the
favorites of the race-course. Smuggler
is said to have always made his best
time on the Cleveland track, as did the
pacing mare Lucy, while Little Fred
could trot on the Buffalo track two
seconds faster than on any other. At
Utica, the other day, Duquesue, in his
race with Director, did very poorly,
owing to his dislike of the track. AL
most every horse has his likes and dis
likes of particular courses, the most
notable exception being Driver, to
whom all tracks were alike.

Of Wednesday did good work in laying
the dust and yesterday morning found
everything fresh, cool and delightful. Over
in town an air of expectancy was worn,
while an unusually large number Of strang-
ers might be seen on the streets. The hotel
registers filed up early and restaurants
drVoe q thriving trade early in the mora-
ing. By 9 O'Clock everything was in me-.
ton for the fair. The Skif ferries and
other modes OF transportation did land
Office business. and q steady tide Of peo-
pie set in for the fair ground. The country
was now represented, and dozens Of wagons
came in from ali points, while the various
railroads brought in excarsionists by the
hundreds. All of these made up an i'm
nense crowd, and the grounds, though not
small, were pushed to hold the large aggre-
gsliOn Of city, country and village.
In every particular the day was q brilli-
ant success, and the managers may safely
congratulate themselves on q, this far,

Making Nan and wife OF Mr.. williams

A pleasant, quiet and highly enjoyable
wedding took place, yesterday morning at

unite in good wishes. The bride

An ANIMATED SCENE.
Among the Rival Ferries 10 Reach the
Pair Ground.


Fair Ground.
One Of the animated scenes connected
with the fair, and one that costs nothing to
see, and is well worth looking at, is the
river crossing. Private conveyances, the
street cars and the bridge may take over
many persons. but the large majority OF
over by means OF the ski # and scow ferries.
Talk about Venice, why Wheeling can
show a spectacle every day that for variety,
uniqueness and originality, outrival any
thing Venice ever knew in its palmiest days.
The streets leading to the wharf present,
AZ certain hours steady streams OF people
pouring to the waters edge, where six i'm
prOvised docks are in readiness to land
them into the skiffs. OF these latter there
is every size, style and variety, and the
passenger gets his choice for cents for the
round trip. The current is literally
tlecked with craft, of which two are large
Hat bottomed scoHs, propelled by poles aud
sweeps. Passage in these gsudy packets
costs Just the same.
While the rivalry is intense, the best Of
feeling exists among the wslermen, aud
there have been no collisions or disturb
sLcss thus far. Just look at these boats if
you want 10 enjoy lively spectacle. The
low stage of the water compels the run
ming out of a pier for each landiRg on the
Island side. Flags, signs and banners pro-
claim each ferry line the safest and best,
and competition is lively on every side.
No enterprising individual has yet erected
an inclined plane to surmount the Island
bsnk-and never will.

RACE NOTES.

The stand was damned Is full as it would
hold.
Starter Mccullough is the boss on getting
the horSes of.
SorreI Billy and Wild Frank we're favor
ties in the pace and Rolla in the trot.
Still there is too much time between
heats-much longer than between drinks.
The band adds much to the enjoyment
of the races, filing in the gaps with choice
music.
The owner Of Rolla disclaimed any fill,
clustering intentions and said he had
money upon the horse.
After the third heat, the driver OF Wild
Frank was changed, as 1t was claimed he
was not doing his duty.
There was q kick on Wild Franks driver,
as it was thought he was not given free
rein and ought 70 have done better.
Why il il there Is always so much talk
ing about races being fixed" for certain
HOSES? Why can't We have square races?
The owner of Sorrel Billy claimed, last
night. that his horse had been pulled by
his driver, who was brought up by owners
of other horses.
In the fourth heat of the pace, the driver
was changed on Sorrel Billy on account Of
the kick of somebody who charged pull.
ing" against the first driver.
The races should not be carried on 90
long. Six o'clock il Q good time to quit, as
it rapidly grows dark after that. Last
evening, when the last heat was trotted, the
crowd in the grand stand had thinned
dewn one fifth.

THE TRoT.
For the 2:26 trot, there were three en-

Rolls sold in the pools for an average OF
$40 to s. for the field. Alter scoring fou-
times the three got of in exactly line,
promising well, but all three broke and
jumped along until they settled down with
ROlla ahead 1eWinsky next and Eeya last
In this order they passed the half and the
heat was close enough to be good aud ex
citing. They went under the wire in this
order, with not two yards between them
The time was 2:S5 Ii was expected Role
would be set back for running, but he got
the heat, Lewinsxy second and Neva third
This race was somewhat Of q fraud
There had been but TWO entries and NeyR

get the purse. However, the large msjor
ity Of the spectators knew nothing Of thi>
and Of course eBjoyed the race.
Second beat-Rolla now sold for SlU
sgsinst s. for the field and it seemed like
pay among his hackers. After two scores
they went away, well together. with Rolls
slightly leading until the quarter was psss

lead. Rolls made hard light for supre

threw her behind, and LsWinSky and RO!la
went along together. NeyA pulled up again
at the three quarters, and down the stretch
