SAN FRANCISCO June 4 1884
large crowd always congregate around
the Band stand when the Mexican
band PERFORMS which they do twice
every day. Captain Payen who
struggles under load of medals is
chereed repeatedly. He very likely
will be a general favorite before he
leaves San Francisco, if he is mot one
now, because he has caught the popu-
lar ear with his excellent mnsic.
Very often an individual member of
the band will render solo, which is
very much appreciated by the audi
ence as each and every man is an art
list.
A new concession has made it's
appearance under the name of the
"Dahomey Village" They arrived
here Saturday May 9th and came
direct from Africa. These are the
genuine people and not New Orleans
negroes as were produced here short
time ago. There are forty two in all,
twelve being women also afew babies,
The chief attraction of the show is
the handling of big snakes, one of
which is little over thirty feet long.
The natives play with them as if they
were toys, little thinking that thew
are powerful enough to crush every
bone in the body of those handling
them.
On Decoration day Rev. Talmage
of Brooklyn New York delivered an
address in Festival Hall which was
filled to it's utmost capacity while
thousands of people were unable to
gain admit ance.
Amid the showers of rain that sent
all the sight seers under cover, the
parade proceeded around the grand
court at 8 o'clock on Decoration Day.
All the floats were interesting and
i appropriate to the day.
The procession was headed by the
First Regiment of u. S. Infantry and
platoon Of Midwinter Fair Guards.
The first division consisted of six
floats as follows: washington cross
ing the Delaware" "A Tribute to the
Dead" @Faraguts Flag Ship" @An-
| gels Of Peace" aHeroes of War;" and
"Cadets and Marins-"
The second division consisted of
six more floats. "The surrender of
Vera Cruz" aLee'ssurrender to Grant"
@The Battle of the Big Tree" Crown
ing the Victors," "Soldiers Return"
the the Ambulance Float" Each was
drawn by six horses in the order
named.
The best one in the parade was
SOLDIERS Return" represented by a
soldier in the act of entering the gate
of his home on returning from the
war, his wife and child standing in
the doorway.
The prettiest was "A Tribute to the
Dead" Forty eight girls dressed in
white and blue represented the forty
eight States and Territories. The
evening parade was abandoned on
account of rain. ! might say here
that the Midwinter Fair is Jonah in
relation to the weather. 1t may safe
ly be said that J. Russell Lowell had
not visited San Francisco up to the
time he wrote. "What is so rare as a
day in June" To-day the 4th of June
was ushered in by quite heavy
rain. 1t is in no way beneficial to the
Fair and is decidedly unpopular.

Dr., +. j. Mayer, formerly Of this
parish, introduced a resolution at
the At'akapas Medical Association
meeting at New Iberia Tuesday,
recommending the enactment Of laws
establishing bureaus in the several
parishes of this state to which all
births, marriages, and death, must
be reported and registered.
Il is to be hoped that our law
makers, soon to assembled in Baton
Rouge, will carry out the suggestion
embodied IN. Dr.. Mayors resolution
as an official record such as this
would furnish would place the
parishes and the state in possession
of vital and mortuary statistics of
great value and capable Of impor'

According to the general laws of ma
ture, when a body is cooled it becomes
heavier than when it is hot. There is
at least one exception to this rule, and
that is in the case of water. Now, be-
fore you read further, shut your eyes
and see if you can figure out just exact
ly how important this exception is to
humanity. Cool can or other vessel
of water from, say, 20 degrees down to
40 degrees and then pour 1t into d tub
of water the temperature of which is
any place between so and so degrees.
You will notice that the cold water
will Immediately sink to the bottom,
and right here is an explanation of the
mystery of river and lake circulation.
But when your cooling process goes be-
low 80 degrees, strange as it may seem,
the water becomes lighter than it was
when it was only one or two degrees
warmer, and if poured into tub heated
as directed above will stay on top or i'm
mediately rise to that position. Now,
let us suppose that water continued to
get heavier as it got colder, as other
bodies do; what would happen? Ice as
soon as it formed would sink to the
bottom, layer upon layer, and in this
way seas, lakes and rivers would be
frozen solid. But one freezing would
do for all time, as the rays of the sun
would not penetrate the thin skim of
cold summer water to sufficient depth
to thaw the rigid mass. For lis it is
fortunate that there are exceptions to
all rules. st. Louis Republic.
