HOW WATER FREEZES.
Scientific Explanation of a Natural
Phenomenon.


scientific paper describes how the pro-
cess Of freezing is carried ON in natures
alchemy. BY means Of two thermometers
1t is first asceItained that the temperature
OF the water at the surface and at the bot
tom is respectively As degrees and IS de-
grees cold wind sweeps over the surface
of the water. so that the temperature is
suddenly reduced to, say, "A degrees. By
this reduction 10 temperature il contracts
and becomes specifically heavier, sinking
and displacing the comparatively light and
warm water below, which rises to the sur
face, becomes cooled below A degrees. and
Immediately falls, displaeing 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 cooling and sinking processes 60 on,
the upper thermometer always indicating
the higher temperature. when suddenly the
magic point, 80 degrees. is reached. when
all movement at once ceases.
The upper layer of water is still exposed
10 the cooling influence of the wind, and
speedily falls in temperature, but still
retains its place. The upper thermometer
now shows that the water which surrouds it
is becoming rapidly reduced in tempera-
ture. but the lower one remains stationary
at 80 deg. AT this temperature water is
heavier than at any other. and there, like a
stone, it remains at the bottom. and as it is
fully protected from outward influences by
the mass OF superintendent water. its tenn
peratuTe remains very much at the same
point. The water on top, however. having
nothing to protect il, gets cooler and lighter
every moment. Down the thermometer goes
to 81 deg, 80 deg. and 80 deg, and then
slight breeze ripples the surface, and the
next moment a thin sheet of ice spreads
Itself over all. The ice, however, is colder
and lighter than the water. so that it floats
on the surface and acts as a blanket, pro-
tectiBg 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 the bottom.

Attempt at Suicide.
1T Might Have Been Prevented.
From the Boston Post. I


While the walks in the Public Garden
were crowded yesterday afternoon about
430 o'clock, people near the entrance gates
at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
were Mortified to see man suddenly plunge
knife repeatedly ipto his throat and fall to
the ground
While waiting for conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about so years of age, as to his name, address,
and reason for wishing to end his life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor
nation regarding himself. he was taken to
the Massachusetts, General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable he
will recover. About 9 o'clock last night a
hospital attendant got little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D., and that he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has felt queer, and he has been wan
dering about the city, not knowing which way
to turn What impelled him to commit his
rash act he was unable to say.
The above is the familiar but terrible
story of the results of mental arrangement
caused by overstrain of the nervous system.
People who have deafness, headache or back
ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or
respondent feelings, are already well on the
road which leads to insanity ard suicide.

made by putting fuel on the fire from coal

that some inventor might be mercifuly dis

to this appeal Is now recorded In the shape
of an ordinary coalbox lined with linoleum
and falling on projecting rubbers. so that no
slamming is possible. Even tine shovel has
its case lined with felt. and is, therefore,
lifted out and replaced noiselessly.

from a friend 10 the same office, took it

card TO himself at his residence, wrote on
the back of it thus: IF you do not attend
to that matter within twenty-four hours
you may expect the worst" There" he
