COLD ICE AND WARM ICE.

The college professor asked the rest
OF us whether ice was colder in winter
than it was in summer. Now. to the
rest of us, ice was ice, and therefore
we could not see how it could remain
ice and be either colder or warmer.
Then the professor explained the thing
in this fashion: "If thermometer is
buried in ice in summer It will indi-
cate 80 degrees. If you throw a piece
of ice into boiling water, and leave it
there until it is almost gone. what is
left will be still at 80 degrees. ice
can never be gotten above that tenn
perature. But while ice can never be
warmed above 80 degrees, it will go
as much below that as the weather
does. An iceman delivering ice one
zero day IN January was asked whether
his ice was any colder than in July.
He thought not. But, as a matter of
fact, piece of summer ice, If he had
had it, would have been something OF
a foot warmer for him, as it would
have been 80 degrees warmer than the
AR of the bottom of his wagon. Mix
ing salt with ice makes it much cooler.
The ice in wine cooler goes down to
about zero. This is why the point zero
on our common thermometers was fix
ed where it is. 1t was supposed to be
the lowest point which could be reach
ed by artificial means. Since then we
have recahed about 1888 degrees below
zero by chemical processes. Ice will
cool down with everything else on a
cold night to zero or below. What
should prevent it? On a day when it
IS Just freezing a block of iron. a block
of ice, outdoors, will stay at g. de-
grees. If the weather grows warmer
the iron will warm up with the wealth
er, but the ice will stay at 80 degrees
and melt away. But if the weather
grows colder the iron and ice will cool
of, and one just as much as the other.
AS the ice grows colder it gets harder
and more brittle. There can be no
hickory bend on a skating 7ond on a
zero day. for ice is then too brittle.
Slivers Of ice dipped in liquid air be-
come so hard that they will cut glass
Water thrown on ice in the Arctic re-
gions will SILVER it like pouring boiling
water upon cold glass. This is because
the ice is so much colder than the wa
ter. "-Beverages.

WAYS TO CATCH TURTLES.

Frank T. Bullen in his new book.
"A Sack of Shakings," introduces his
readers to the remora, or sucker" a
species of shark that never exceeded a
dozen pounds in weight. He says: "On
the top of its head is a fiat, oval cen
trivance which is an adhesive attach
ment of such strength that, when by
this means the fish is holding on to a
plane surface, it is impossible to drag
the body away, except by almost tear
ing the fish in half Yet by the fexing
of some simple muscles the fish can re-
lease its body instantly or as instantly
reattach itself. The remora does not
by any means limit its company to
ships. 1t is exceedingly fond of attach
ing itself to the body of whale, and
also to some OF the larger sharks. In
deed, II goes step farther than mere
outward attachment in the latter case.
because well-authenticated instances
are recorded where several suckers
have been found clinging to a huge
sharks palate. This is another stage
on the way to perfect parasitism, be-
cause under such circumstances these
daring dodgers needed not to detach
themselves any more. They had only
to intercept sufficient food for their
wants on its way from the front door
to the interior apartments. have also

MINING FAKES TO
 BE LOOKED INTO
STATEMENT MADE THAT THE FED ERAL COMPARTMENT WILL RIGlDLY
 INVESTIGATE WILDCAT PROPERTY
ARIZONA THE FIELD CHOSEN.
An Official Now sn Route to lnyssti-
 gate ana to Later Act.

When as governor of Arizona. \
 o. Murphy, honestly and fearlessly
 with sincere regard for the good
 name of Arizona, and the protection
 of those who were and are today rep
 resenting their mining claims on the
 plane of merit, issued a semi-ofiicial
 proclamation condemning certain
 wildcat methods on worthless mines,
 he was the worst abused man in Ari- zona. But the tide has turned at
 last, and if the dispatch below shows anything it proves that Governor
 Murphy was right, and it is to be re- gretted that a remedy was not ap- piled sooner to relieve that which places Arizona today uotoriously be- fore the nation. The dispatch is as follows:
 Kansas City, Nov. 11.-Federal are going to take a hand in suppressing the industry of min ing frauds. Arizona is the field se- iected. and 1t is not at all unlikely that a sensation or two will be sprung in mining circles before the work is E. Mckee, postal in- spector for the district of Kansas City, is in the the territory, having gone there recently to look into the operations" of certain sharks" and promoter" who have been using the mails to prey upon the people of Missouri and Kansas in floating min ing frauds.
 The crop of eastern suckers" proves a tempting bait to ''fakeTs," who acquire prospects with no mar, 1etable value, organize companies md sell stock on the representation hat tho company owns producing hines. Some schemes are said to be | 70 rank that there will be little diff ,ulty in sending some of the sharks" over the road.
 The sentiment of the above takes n fhe good as well as the bad mines n so far as the soliciting of financial | id figures outside Of Arizona It | makes no difference whether fake | .laim lays along the Colorado or the | iila river rivers, the curse applies to III Arizona. There should be a min ng league formed in each county, mi any representation made by any | ,ne that a hole in the ground has millions in it" should be condemned | openly and rated only in value to the .xtent that its development shows. Ne have seen a prospectus of an Ari- ona mine" capitalized at S1,0O0,000 with only a three foot hole on it, that tates that there is 656,S25.16 by ctual measurement of ore in sight. legitimate mining should be fostered nd the faker crushed before the ountry is ruined or given another black eye.

Prescott Will not be Visited and the Mineral Advantages and the Backbone of Statehood Accord, ingIy Will be Passed Up.

An Associated Press dispatch from Chicago, under date of November 10, says:
 Senators Beveridge, of Indiana; Nelson, of Minnesota; Dillingham;, of Vermont; Bate Of Tennessee, and Heitfeld. of Idaho; will leave Chicago on Monday night for Okla bJma, New Mexico and Arizona to investigate those territories claims for statehood. Five of the senators are members of the senatorial sub committee on territories and it is likely their reports will haze much weight with the upper house of con gress The route will cover all the principal cities of the territories.
 Later dispatches say 5hat the com mission will arrive in Santa Fe some ime during the middle of this week, and remain less than one week in New Mexico. They will then pro ce-o down the Rio GTaude and enter Arizona by che Sosthern Pacific.
 In Arizona their stay will be brief and only the Capitol city will be visited. They will have no oppor- tuuitv whatever to visit the great mineral zone that blessea Prescott, ant which accordingly is the founda-
