An Excention to Nntnre,a Lnrrs.

According to the general laws Of ma
ture, when body is cooled it become
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, 10 degrees down to
40 degrees and then pour it into a tub
of water the temperature of which is
any place between 30 and 80 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 ono 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 20
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 bo
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 MS it is
fortunate that there are exceptions to

BANNIsrER,s BIG SUIT.

He Wants $500 900 Damages of the
Starr Flour Company.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 81. - Alfred
Bannister. formerly a member of the
big four-milling firm of Starr & Co., has
brought suit against the company for
$3.50, 600 and such other damages
as the the court msy SEQ fit TO award.
Bann lister. in his complaint, says that
he was taken into the firm in 1875, on
the payment of $4,000 and pledge to
secure large loans for the firm at low
rate of interest. A balsnce sheet show
ing the liabilities and assets of
the firm and guaranteed to be correct
was given him. Liabilities and assets
as given by the firm were S150,000 each,
and on that showing Bannister invested
his money. He now alleges that that
balance sheet was false. and that the real
liabilities were SIZE, 900 in excess of the
amount stated. About one-half of this
amount was subsequently paid out OF
the profits of the business and the bal
ance was "jUggled" out of sight in O
mysterious manner, which it ia the pur.
pose of this suit to investigate. Ban
mister further alleges tbat $25 900 was
uniustly charged to his account in 1877.

Good Cause.
DENVER, March 31.-Ex- Governor
Evans told an Associated Press reporter
tonight that the Union Pacific people are
wrong when they report the decision OF
Judges Caldwell and Sanborn of the
United States Circuit court at Omaha as
against the Gulf road. He says: "The
principles laid down by the court are
undoubtedly correct. The dispute be-
tween the receivers as to the payment
due for the use of the Julesburg cut
off are re-referred TO the receivers Of
the respective roads for an equitable ad.
iustment. In case they cannot agree
the court will decide. The Union Pacific
cannot afford not to uEe this line, and
the officers of the Northwestern said
their road would object to their business
being hauled by way of Cheyenne. The
Jnleeburg line was built by the Union
Pacific in order to shorten its line to
Denver, and it's abandonment would
undoubtedly give the other east
ern lines a great advantage for
Colorado business. The questions of
the use of the shops and yards are of
minor Importance compared with the
segregation OF the two properties, and
the court directs their Rdjuetment in
like manner, which is eminently just
and fair during the process of segrega-
tion."
The governor says his suit. in which
Mr.. Trumbull acts as receiver, was not
only recognized, but the segregation OF
the Gulf property and its independent
operation also. The hope of the Union
Pacific people, that the Gulf road would
never be reorganized into the Union
Pacific system, which its attorneys claim
is only desired to suppress competition,
is etfectually blighted.
