 Did you ever wonder that ice, being formed of congealed water, foats2 asks writer in the St Louis Republic. And why on some still lakes. 1t begins to form at the bottom before it ices on the surfaceP Scientists explain these enigmas this wise: Ice is specifically lighter than water just about to freeze. and. therefore. floats in it. This is one reason why the formation of ice usually begins at the surface. An other is it's peculiar law of expansion. The general law is that cold induces expansion; this law holds good with water only to certain point. When water has cooled down to within "A degrees of freezing it ceases to con tract as before with increase of cold and begins to expand till it freezes.
 This expansion causes the colder portions of the water to rise to the surface. The formation of ground ice" or anchor ice. as it is some- times called, is the only exception to the rule given above. The whole body of water is at the same time cooled to below the freezing point, and the sub stances at the bottom, the stones and gravel of the river or lake bed serve as point of congeiation or crystalli- zation for the water. Ground ice may be the lowest stratum of the once completely frozen mass of water, re- tained at the bottom by the natural cohesion to the rough substances of the river-bed, during the thawing and melting of the ice on the surface; or 1t may even be formed under favorable conditions beneath briskly flowing wa ter, probably by the action of eddies, which draws the surface water down through the warmer but denser liquid. thus cooling the rocks at the bottom. forming base for its formation. This remarkable species of ice usually gath CTS on clear, cold night when the surface of the water is not frozen.

A WRONG REPORT.
The Principals in Tragedy Mixed Up by
Rannrtar

The Principals in a Tragedy Mixed Up by
Reporter.
CorToNwooD, CAL, May 27.-The report
telegraphed from Red Bluff to the city
papers, Monday, concerning murder
near here, in Tehama county, was
wrong. Smith was killed by Fenwick,
and not Fenwick by Smith. The shoot
ing was done Saturday evening. Smith
was a large, strong man, 80 years old,
and Fenwick mere boy, 20 years old. I.
About year ago Smith beat young Fem
wick's father nearly to death, from which
he was laid up in critical condition
several weeks. Since then the Fenwicks
have found several OF their cattle
and horses poisoned, for which tilny
blamed Smith. Young Fenwick says be
was riding along the road in the woods
with Winchester rife in his hands,
when he met Smith, who stopped him
and said: "Did you say that poisoned
your cattle?" Fenwick replied tLat he
had said SO. Then Smith reached for
his revolver, and the boy raised his rife
and shot him. Then he went to Red
Bluff and gave himself up. There were
no witnesses, and the boys statement is
generally believed here. The dead man
was buried today near the scene of the
tragedy.

Associated Press Dispatches.

PHILADELPHIA, May 27.-Both branches
of the city council today accepted the
resignation of City Treasurer Bardsley.
The six Democrats in the select branch,
entered formal protest against allowing
man charged with such serious crime
to resign. Richard G. OelIers, business
manager of the Record, was elected to
fill the unexpired term of Bardsley.
The Democrats refused to take any part
in this election. While the meeting was
in progress, the Democrats endorsed w.
Redwood Wright, Governor Patti
sons appointee. Bardsley's resigna-
ton will take effect Saturday
next and then Philadelphia will have
two city treasurers, one named by the
city council and the other by the gov
ernor. The question. will probably be
brought before the courts at once.
An investigation today developed the
fact that Bardsley had considerable
dealings with other brokers besides
Glendening & Co., and the inferences
are that he speculated through these
firms. The report that Bardsley had
hypothecated the securities of the sink
ing fund is denied by Mayor Stuart.
District Attorney Gray today took out
another warrant for Bardsley's arrest,
charging him with perjury in violating
his oath of Office in using public money
for his own gain.

BERING SEA ORDERS.
The Corwin Held In Waiting for final
Instructions.

Instructions.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Anent the
orders given to. the revenue cutters Bear
and Rush to proceed at once to Alaska,
it is learned that the Corwin is to fol-
low, but will not sail for some days yet,
and in the meantime the government
will consider the advisability of giving
the Corwin special instructions modify
ing those under which the Rush and
Bear sail, the instructions of the two
last named vessels being the same as
those of last year. They are not to seize
poaching vessels unless found illicitly
sealing within marine league of the
shore, but to warn them off.
The general subject as to whether or
not there is to be closed season has
not, it is said. yet been settled, no reply
having been received by the United
States government in answer to its
counter proposition to the British gov
ernment to allow the natives to kill
1900 seals, to furnish them with their
usual food supplies. The president and
advisors, it is said, are yet waiting on
Lord Salisbury for some expression of
opinion about the matter. Pending this
reply, or some alternative suggestion or
offer from the British government, it is
not believed the matter will be finally
settled. If close season should be
agreed upon, the treasury department
can send the revenue cutter Corwin to
the seal islands with such sup
Elementary orders as may be
needed to fit the new status of affairs.
1t is thought probable, however, by
those well informed that should close
season be eventually agreed upon, it
will not be possible for the British gov
ernment to compel the great horde of
poaching vessels now on their way, and
in Bering sea, to desist from taking
seals. hF'e1#
Major Williams, chief special agent to
the seal islands, has received no orders
containing a modification of the original
number of seals(60 ,000), which the North
American Commercial company were
authorized to take. /,

the organization OF a Japanese colony to
settle somewhere in California. Kata-
Okla Kenkichi is the originator of the
movement. He is native of Tosa, Ja-
pan, and member of the house of rep
resentatives. AT present he is soliciting
the cooperation OF other moneyed men
in the empire, and already his plans
have assumed practical shape. At Tosa
and other-places in the interior OF Japan,
his agents are selecting able-bodied mar
ried farmers of from 20 to 80 years OF
age. These are to form the advance
guard of the colony.

LIVERPOOL, May 27.-Further particu-
lars in regard to the reported seizure,
yesterday, of cargo of cattle on board
the steamship Lake Huron, from Mon
treal, on the ground that pleuro-pneu
monia existed among the animals, show
that only one head was suspected OF be-
ing a sufferer from the disease. The
cattle inspector here ordered the animal
killed, and it's lungs were sent to Lon
don for analysis. The government
analyst today telegraphed that there
was not the slightest trace of pleuro-
pneumonia in the lungs submitted to
him, and consequently the cargo was

AN ENDLESS CONTROVERSY.
A Reply to Sir Charles Tuppsr's Recent
Article.


TORONTO, May 27.--A cable from Lon
don to the Globe says: Prof. Goldwin
Smith has brief letter in the Times to-
day on Tupper's article in the Contem-
porary Review, specially dealing with
the charge that the Conservatives at the
last election had to face formidable
conspiracy to subvert British institu-
tions in Canada, and to annex the do
minion to the United States. Smith
shows that Sir John Macdonald, at
Ottawa, had not dared to utter one
syllable onIthe subject. The charge, he
says, is a fgment constructed out of
materials supplied by reptile agencies
for election purposes, and is now dis
carded. The Canadian Liberals are
fighting, he says, not only against pro-
lection, but against government by cor
ruption.
