FACTS ABOUT ICE.
How scIen lists Explain Enigmas Con-
corning Congealed Water.

How scIen lists Explain Enigmas Con-
corning Congealed Water.
Did you ever wonder that ice, being
formed of CONCEALED water, floatsp asks
a writer in the st. Louis Republic.
And why on some still lakes, it begins
to form at the bottom before it fces on
the surface? 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 its peculiar law of expansion.
The general law is that cold induces
expansion; this law holds good with
water only TO q certain point. When
water has cooled down to within IA
degrees of freezing it ceases to con-
tract as before with increase OF cold
and begin1to 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 congelation or crystalli-
cation for the water. Ground ice may
be the lowest stratum of the once
completely frozen mass OF water re-
tanned 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
It 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 a base for its formation. This
remarkable species OF ice usually gain
ers on a clear, cold night when the
surface of the water is not frozen.

CHAPTER XIII.

With spring like q panther, Darrell
was upon the w0uld.be murderer; and SO
swift aud SO sure was the fierce blow of
the dubbed pistol that without cry or
grsan the wretched man fell with o crash
TO the floor and lay motionless.
Darrell turned, the pistol fell from his
hand, and his foot was oil the IAdder-like
stairs that led up the next floor, when
white garment fiuttered through the gloom
above.
"PhilipP'--and In another moment IL
ma had thrown herself into her lovers
open arms.
Voiceless, fearless, was that wild, close
embrace at the awful gate Of eternity,
that agony OF JOY, that agony OF woe, lip
o lip, heart to heart, once more for the
as { time. What years of anguish she had
seemed to pass through while she waited
and waited I'm the darkness Of dread, and
knew not whet Their lie had been swept down
the rushing stream TO afearful DEATH And
now they had met, and her prayer at least
was answered-he might die with her,
IL he could not save her.
For two minutes all was forgotten in
their wild rapture, and then Darrell spoke
hurriedly--
"Ilma, there Is still hope; will not
despair till Deaths hand is upon US.
Come with me-"
There was no Lope in Ilma's dark eyes,
which were raised 70 her lovers face; but

at the window OF the Mill, some one waiv-
ing an arm with despairing gestures; but
others said he must be mistaken, as Job
and zeph Heston had left the Mill long
since. But presently some one saw the
face aud recognized lima Costello.
Alone In that awful prison, death rising
to her foot by foot-Ilma knelt aud tried
to pray; but her heart would cling to him
whose face she would see no more. Death
had lost all terror; she saw herself whirled
away in the boiling Hood, aud she did net
shudder at the picture. Roland was for

her---oh, II ho should yet hear Of her fate
and strive TO reach her! She cried aloud
In the anguish OF that fear, and before
the echo OF that cry had died away she had
sprung to her feet, and her heart seemed
to stand still within her-for the moon

'you must be nearly dead. What

''Yes sir; but hurry, boss. " answered
the boy.
AS Aiken turned to remount he heard
the sound OF boat wheels around the
curve and the whistle sounded out
hoarsely.
by George exclaimed Aiken.
There's boat and three more inches
of water will top the levee here and
then all is lost"
In few moments the boat rounded
the curve and the big lights shone out
across the water.

saw the two smokesta@Ss with Nor

So saying, he picked up his gun
from where he had dropped it when
he dismounted. and strobe on up stream
to meet the boat.

'and guess the river Is free"
Aiken could see the little tongues of
water as they overlapped the banks
above. II the boat did not turn she
would send the water over the levee
lower down where the boy was. and
he and the whole embankment would
be sucked in. There was no time to
be lost.
Swinging the lantern above his head
so that Morton might see him, he flung
his rifle to his shoulder and called
back: Come another foot nearer to
this shore and you are a dead man."
Morton knew what manner Of man
he had to deal with. The wheel re-
versed, the boat tackled and grazed the
opposite shore, which was already sub
merged.
'All right now, Pete, said Aiken
gently patting the boys muddy pate.
"Pll go on and be back in a few mo-
ments."
When they came by and by and put
sandbags in the hole Pete had been
covering the little fellow was too weak
to speak or to stand. and Mr.. Aiken
took him Up in his arms and himself
carried him 10 the house.
And now Pete does nothing but ride

open gates for the driver or to carry
parcels when Tom Aiken's pretty wife
goes to Shreveport shopping; for his

THE USE OF PILLOWS.
why 1t is Necessary and How 1t shoult
be Done.

why 1t is Necessary and How 1t Should
be Done.
No mere matter OF habit is the use
OF pillow. 1t has physiological
basis. We sleep for the most part on
the side, and without a pillow the head
would be uncomfortably and harmfully
lower than the body. 1t will be re-
membered that Jacob, when fleeing
from Esau. took stone for a pillow
He needed something for the purpose,
and nothing better than stone
presented itself. Such practices are
common in Africa at the present day.
Some people rest the neck instead
OF the head on hard pillows. In Africa
extraordinary headgears make this
practice necessary, and many a civil
lied woman has been compelled by a
somewhat similar couture to forego
both the pillow and the recumbent pos
ture.
A consideration of the physiological
reason for pillows will suggest their
proper thickness. They should mere
ly bring the head to the natural level.
Some pillows are much TOO thick. BY
bending the neck unduly. they inter
fere with the outflow of the venous
blood from the head. The pillow that
just fills up the space above the should
or best suits its end.
Again. pillows of feathers are OBJ
jectionable. While they furnish the
needed support for the head. they are
too heating as they have a remark
able capacity for holding and accumu-
lating heat.
1t should be remembered that
more blood. and hence more heat goes
to the head than to any other part OF
the body. Head heating pillows are
against the wholesome maxim. Keep
the feet warm. but the head cool. "
There is nothing better than the hair
pillow.
Further, the pillow is for the head.
not for the shoulders. To rest the
shsslders on the pillow defeats the
very end for which it Is used
Finally. special care should be taken
OF iafants in this matter. We have

MARSH TO RETIRE,

One Republican Vacancy on the
 AssessOrs' Board to Fill at the
 December Town Election.
 At the town election, which will be held next December, an entire board of assessors will be elected as the terms (three years) of all the present members expire with the present fiscal year. The members of the present board are Henry E. Marsh and Charles A. Baldwin, repub- licans; and Charles Spreyer, William F. Shannon and George w. Neal, democrats. The election of the board will be one of the prominent features of the election, as the election of assessors occurs but once in three years. With the exception of MT. Marsh the others are candidates for reelection to the office which pays as good salary as is authorized by the board of selectmen. For the past three years the salary was fixed at the snug sum of $2, 900 for each of the assessors. Formerly the assessors were paid $1 ,500.
 AS MT. Marsh has financial interest in the American Oyster company, of which he is treasurer, he will in future devote his time to the business of the company, which has prosperous and growing plant. The company have 800 acres of oyster beds off Black Rock, off New Haven lighthouse and near Stamford, and have $22, ,000 al- ready invested and have already declared 12 per cent. annual dividend on the paid up capital stock.
 Three thousand bushels of oysters were recently taken from one of the beds off Stamford. The company will soon build & large oyster steamer, which will take the place of one of the two oyster boats that are now hired by the company. MT. Marsh will also continue his oil business in Vest vile. Frank Homer of Oyster Point is president of the oyster company and his son vice president of the company.
 MT. Marsh, who has been very efficient, will retire with the best wishes of host of friends. Charles A. Baldwin, whose long term of residence in this city has made him famil- jar with city property, will undoubtedly be returned to the board, as hfs ability and many years experience in the office will count in his favor at election time.
 Ed. F. Merrills, registrar of the Eighth ward, is to be candidate for position on the board on the republican side of the ticket. MT. Merrills has been a popular and efficient registrar, who has made many friends who will present his claims for election to the office.
 Oscar Ives is another candidate for the position now held by MT. Marsh. He was for years 8 contractor at the clock shop, where he was engaged for about twenty relief which has given him some idea of 1 the duties of assessor, and is well qualified ! for the position.
