THEY CLIMB STEEPLES,
Score of Men in New York Who Follow
a Lofty OccuDatiOn

Score of Men in New York Who Follow
Lofty Occupation
There are score of men in New York
who follow the trade of climbing Steep
les, great chimneys, monuments, and
other lofty structures, to make repairs,
put up lightning rods, apply paint, and
do other things which are needed. The
men who follow this perilous occupation
are frequently called ."steeple-j jacks -
and they are, as a rule, proud of their
occupation, and not insensible to the
fact that they are, at certain moments,
the most conspicuous and closely OBJ
served men in the city. When it is
necessary to 1engthen or repaira steeple
or chimney, the "steeple-jack'' is called
upon to build scaffold or staging at
the summit at a great height from the
earth. In this case the scaffold is built
from the top downward, and the con-
struction requires a constant exercise
of courage and presence of mind. The
'steeple-jack' worst danger is from
high winds or suddenly rising squalls
It is said that the bravest steGple-climb-
err declines to face a strong wind. A
high wind will cause the solidest chin
ney to vibrate at the top. In the case
Of extremely tall chinneys, the summit
actually swings in a gale over a space
of six or eight inches. Although this
does not make the chimney any the less
secure, it invariably causes the 'steeple-
jack" if he happens to be up there, to
beat retreat to the ground.-New Yorl

Expansion of Water in Freezinr

Expansion of Water in Freezing.
Mr.. Prompt read a paper before the
French Academy of Sciences concern
ing the augmentation of the volume
of water at the moment Of it's trans
formation into ice. His experiments
were made with a view to ascertain
the cause of this phenomenon. To this
end he caused water to freeze in q
transparent bulb. According to Mr.
Prompt, first a clear and transparent
layer of ice formed, then another layer
traversed by streaks at the points Of
which gaseous bubbles appear. These
bubbles compressed more and more by
the formation Of the ice, eventually
break the vessel in which freezing wa
ter is confined. By using distilled wa
ter, from which all gases had been set
free, and protecting the water by COW
ering it with oil, Prompt claims to
have frozen the water without obtain
ing any dilatlon of the volume orig
inally taken up.-La Nature.

somewhat. yet the disease progressed
quite rapidly until I had hardly any
feeling in my legs and feet, they felt
like sticks Of wood, and I grew so much
worse that I could not move for three
years without help, as my neighbors
and friends could testify. I employed
several physicians in my vicinity, and
elsewhere, and they all told me that
medicines would not help me, that
they could do nothing to effect a cure
and that in time I should become en-
tirely helpless. became discouraged.
I was a great care to my wife and
friends. Shortly after I met an old
army comrade, Mr.. All. Parlin, a resi-

mentioned how he had tried DR.. Will

rheumatism and a spinal and malarial
trouble, that he had suffered with con-
sequent Of his army life, and had been
greatly benefited by their use BY his
earnest recommendation I was induced
to try the pills. After taking them for
a time began to feel prickly sensations

I could move them a little. After a few
