Why Ice Floats.

Did you ever wonder why it is that
ice, being formed of CONCEALED water,
floats? And why, ON some still lakes, it
begins to form at the bottom before it
does on the surface? Scientists explain
these enigmas this wise: Ice is specifical-
" 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.
Another is its peculiar law of expan-
sion. The general law is that cold in
duces expansion; this law holds good
with water only to certain point
When water has cooled down to within
IA degs of freezing it ceases to contract
as before with increase of cold and be-
gins to expand till it freezes
This expansion causes the colder por-
tons of the water to rise to the surface.
The formation of ground ice" or
''anchor ice" as it is sometimes called,
is the only exception to the rule given
above.-St. Louis Republic

The Emperor as an After Dinner Speaker.
AS an after dinner speaker the en-
peror has no superior in Germany. He
speaks readily without notes, expresses
himself with vigor. never descends to
conventional commonplaces, and, above
all, gives the very best assurance that
! his words. are not prepared for him. |
nave heard conspicuous speakers in Eng
land and In our own country. and. if
comparisons are not in this case invidi->
Gus, should SHY that the German EN-
peror need not fear to meet such an an
dlence as even IA New England society
dinner assemblies. One of the prettiest
speeches have listened to was delivered
by the emperor in answering the toast TO
his wife in the province where she was
born. It was during the great combined
naval and military maneuvers of 1890. at
which the United States was represented
by Commander Ward, and Great Britain
by Admiral Horribly.
The emperor's words were: Il desire
to express to you. my dearest sir, the
gratitude felt By the empress and myself
for the kind words we have just heard.
At the same time our thanks to the
whole for the day we have passed and
for the reception which the province has
prepared for us This day was, how
ever, not needed i'll order to assure us
Of the warm friendship we have found
here.
THE bond that unites me to this prov
ince and chains me to her in a manner
different from all others of my empire is
the jewel that sparkles at my side, her
majesty the empress. Sprung from this
soil, the type Of the various virtues of
German princess, it is to her that owe
it if am able to meet the severe labors
of my office with a happy spirit and
make head against them"
The words of the emperor Were unex-
pected, and to no one more so than to
his wife, whose face Eeamed with happi-
ness at the compliment she SO publicly
received Nor did any one who listened
to the speaker at that dinner think to
question the spontaneity and honesty of
the language. = Poultney Bigelow in
Century

Two Remarkable Marriages.

Among the romances of the last CEN
fury is handed down one of certain
nobleman who was making ready for his
wedding ceremony with the lady of his
choice when he learned from frighten-
ed messenger that the lady had eloped
with another lover. Not at all discon-
certed, he coolly continued his toilet,
and when it was completed he asked his
horlsekeeper which one OF his servants
was without that excellent thing in life
"a lover. Learning that the kitchen
maid was the only one. he sent for her,
babe her don her Sunday frock, per-
suaded her to accompany him to the
the church at the time appointed for
his wedding, and brought the simple
country maiden back a peeress of the
realm
The marriage turned out very hap
PLY, like the more recent marriage of an
English gentleman in New York, who
found a young emigrant girl of his own
nationality who had missed her friends
and was alone in the street. He asked her
after a few moments conversation if she
had come to America to find husband,
and when she answered coyly in the af-
irmative he took her to the nearest
church, and they were welded, and are,
according to the latest reports, happy
together York Sun

A Man Who Palms Things.

Two gentlemen shook hands in the
street day or two ago, and as they un-
clasped their hands small wad of pa
per fell to the sidewalk. What is this:
said one Of the men, STOPPING to pick up
the wad. "Oh, that is my Eve dollar bill, !"
said the other man. Il made ball of
it and palmed it when | left the house
in order that would not forget to stop
in at my grocer's and pay bill. But ]
forgot all about the COMPOUNDED thing"
DO you mean to say that you have
carried that wad in the palm of your
hand for an hour or two without realiz-
ing that it was there?"
Certainly; frequently carry small
articles in the palm Of my hand for sew
eral hours. They never fall out, and
they don't bother me. | learned the
trick of palming when was boy, and
have practiced it ever since. | can
palm half a dozen coins at the same
timesand retain them concealed in my
hand all day if want to.
81 can eat my dinner, smoke cigar,
read paper, and do almost everything,
except shake hands, without disturbing
the palmed coins. find the palming
knack very useful sometimes, particu-
larly when want to conceal any small
article temporarily."-New York Times.
