Why Docs Solid Iron Float on Molten

This question, which has puzzled good
many observers, was satisfactorily tx

on steel read before the Iron Institute,
London. When piece OF oolid Iron 10

that its volume is less than the
melted metal. But soon tho solid piece

it's volume Is Increased, and 1t rises and
floats On the surface OF the molten mass.
Tho action Is the same both with iron and
stool. Mr.. WrightsUn said
"'The experiment was frequently made
by throwing piece OF Iron into melted

Colonel Harris tore the letter opon,

Without waiting for coat or hat Colonel
Harris ran to his stable, mounted his
favorite bay fly Nellie, md in five
minutes he was riding towards the
duelling ground at derby winning
pace.
Clear and sharp two pistol shots
rang out, but the anger Of Colonel Ash
ley and Judge Hawthorne had made
their nerves little unsteady, aud the
bullets went wide OF the mark.
Gentlemen, are you satisfied"
Both principals shook their heads
and again they were placed In position.
Before the second could give the word

moment later Colonel Harris rode up
between the principals.
"Stop this. Stop 1t at once say. 1t

Judge; give me mine; the boy got our

Judge Hawthorne was forced to read
the letter placed in his hands by Colo

threw down his pistol and going over

The Insane.

The total number OF insane persons
treated In both public and private institu-
tions during tho year 1889, ns given in
Census Bulletin No. 61, was 1885, while
during tho year .lssl there were M,:O5
trcated showing an increase in tho nino
years OF il,DV. or 5s.53 per cent. This
per ccntagc Of increase, when compared
with the percentage OF increase OF popula-
ton in the last decade, namely 2i.s6, does
not indicate an increase In tho proportion
of insane persons TO population, but rather
n great increase in the amount OF asylum
accommodation provided and willingness
on the part OF the public to make full use
Of all the facilities thus provided. The
figures for the actual number OF insane In
the United States cannot bc determined
until the work OF eliminating oil duplicate

Tho pcculiarity OF the great criminal
lawyer wns well shown ut murder
trial in San Francisco few years ago.
Mr.. McSweeny appeared Tor tho de-
fendant.
The state apparently had made out
very clear case against the prisoner.
When Mr. McSweeny arose to mako
his address to the jury he carefully
avoided any reference to the facts se.
forth in the evidence or the laws gov
erning them. He pointed out the ter
rible responsibility resting upon tho
twelve men who were sitting in judg-
mcnt upon the life of one of their iel-
low citizens He added that the ver-
dict OF guilty would not fall henviest
upon the prisoner but upon his family.
He asked the jury to think for mo.
ment OF the effect of an adverse vsr.
dict upon the wife and little ones Uf
tho prisoner.
Then the speaker drew u word pic
ture. which was marvel OF artistic
rhetorical work. He brought before
the eyes Of tho jurymen the home OF
the accused man. He showed the
patient and loving wife leaving her

till papa should come home to them

At this point the lawyer noticed that
one of the jurymcn-s bluff old west
orner-had considerable difficulty in
swallowing n large lump which choked
him, and that there was n suspicious
moisture in his eye.
The speaker paused. Turning to-
ward the juror he held out both hands

scarcely audible:
"Gentlcmen, you must send him

Shifting uncasily in his seat the
Juror blurtcd out:
"Yes, by. well do IT, too"
McSwecny instantly sat down. The
/; case was won. His client was acquitted.
Eut the most interesting point in this
chsc, perhaps, was the fact which the
lawyer afterward lcarned-tha, the
