our second war, with possibly veteran

ington the men who fought In ls4s will
meet again in annual reunion. AT
Syracuse and elsewhere in the nation
che boys of the ''sixties" will bivouac
again and recall the dread times of the
civil war So the week in which occurs
the anniversary Of Washington's birth
will again be an eventful one with us.
We recall history on that day and very
pften we make it.
OF the old societies that of the war of
1912 Is TO US the most interesting, as the
body contains few at least of those
who fought at New Orleans and on
Lake Erie. The society celebrates each
year the actual date of the close of the
war; the date on which the treaty of
peace was proclaimed by the executive
OF the nation.
But it is OF the continental congress

HOW WATER FREEZES.
The Interesting Process as Carried On In
Natures Alchemy.

INC interesting frOcess m carried on In
Natures Alchemy.
A scientific paper describes how the
process of freezing is carried on in ma
lures alchemy. BY means of two ther-
mometers IL is first ascertaincd that the
temperature Of the water at the sur
face and at the bottom is respectively
4s degrees and As degrees. A cold wind
sweeps over the surface of the water, SO
that the temperature is suddenly re-
duced to, say, A degrees. BY this re-
duction In temperature it contracts and
becomes specifically heavier, sinking
and displacing the comparatively light
and warm water below, which rises to
the surface, becomes cooled below a.
degrees, and Immediately falls, displac-
ing the warmer water at the bottom,
which in turn rises, gets cooled and
falls, its place being again supplied by
lighter and warmer water. And SO the
the upper thermometer always indicat-
ing the higher temperature, when sud-
denly the magic point. 80 degrees, is
reached, when all movement at once
ceases. The upper layer of water is
still exposed TO the cooling influence of
the wind, and speedily falls in temper
ature, but still retains its place. The
upper thermometer now shows that the
water which surrounds il is being rap
idly reduced in temperature, but the
lower one remains stationary at 50 de-
grecs. At this temperature water is
heavier than at any other, and there,
like a stone, il remains at the bottom,
and ss IL is fully protected from out
ward influences by the mass Of super
incumbent water, its temperature re-
mains very much at the same point
The water on top, however, having
nothing to protect IL, gets cooler and
lighter every moment. Down the ther-
mometer goes 10 81, S5 and 30 degrees,
and then n slight breeze ripples the sur
face. and the next moment a thin sheet
of ice spreads itself over all The ice,
however, is colder and lighter than tho
water. 80 that 10 floats on the surface
and acts as a blanket, protecting the
comparatively warm and heavy water
below from being cooled. So that even
during the severest winter only COM
paratively thin superficial layer of ice is
usually formed, and the greater part Of
the water remains unfrozen at tho bot
tom.
