1t used to puzzle all thinking people
why ponds and rivers do not freeze be-
yond certain depth. This depends on
most curious fact-namely, that wa
ter is at its heaviest when it reaches
70 degrees F.-that is, 8 degrees above
freezing point. On a frosty night as
each top layer of water falls to 40 de-
grees it sinks to the bottom; therefore
the whole pond has to drop to 40 de-
grees before any of it can freeze. At
last it is all cooled to this point, and
then ice begins to form. But ice is a
very bad conductor of heat; therefore
it shuts off the freezing air from the
big body of comparatively warm wa
ter underneath. The thicker it gets
the more perfectly does it act as a
great coat, and that is why even the
Arctic ocean never freezes beyond a
few feet in thickness.-Marine Jour

Go to bed in fresh clothing every
night. Never think of allowing your
self to sleep in the clothing worn dur
ing the day-not stitch of it. Take
everything off. Put on night clothing
that has been thoroughly aired.
When you get up in the morning,
take off everything again. This is the
time to take q cold bath, very quickly,
with vigorous rubbing. If for any rea-
son you do not take the cold bath, rub
your skin all over thoroughly with a
rough towel. Don't be afraid of being
naked little while.
There is no better tonic for the skin
than nakedness. Take off everything.
Give yourself a little hand massage.
Exercise the muscles. Rub your skin
with coarse towel, anything, so as
to spend little time naked. Then
put on fresh clothing.
People who wear the same clothes
every night and day get themselves
surrounded by an atmosphere of their
own bodily emanations that is very
unhealthy. Neither faith cures nor
drug cures are of a particle of use to
dirty people. Cleanliness is the first
law of health. If this law be broken.
it will be very little use to try any
remedy.-Exchange

ever, as soon as Banks had walked
away, but he avoided the light that
came through the door.
He was saying to himself that Wig
gin had always seemed to like him and
would very likely give him a chance to
ride in the freight end of the car.
"I'Il ask him anyway" he said. 'I'd
rather do that than try to turn a trick.
A man caught stealing ride on this
car tonight is likely to get shot,"
He rose from his crouching posture,
and at this moment a gust of wind
struck him with the crushing weight
of a solid body. 1t hurled him against
the door, through it, in fact, and he
came into the presence of the aston
ished Wiggin attended by a small
whirlwind laden with sand and Gin
ders.
Wiggin jumped up, revolver in hand,
and his clay pipe ratified on the floor.
Then he sat down again calmly.
"Oh, it's We, is it?" he said. "Shut
the door,"

He paused and raised one hand as If

feet, his eyes meeting Horizons as the

siding below the station, and
Horton knew that it was GO
ing east with the $50 train.
He thought that he might find a way
to go with it unobserved--to steal
ride, like tramp, as he phrased it to
himself.
AS to destination, he was not partic-
ular. The important matter was to get
away. He had been discharged from
the service of the railroad under suspi-
cion of dishonesty, and everybody
knew it or would know it very SOON
An express envelope containing a
small sum of money had been stolen
1t would have been possible for Hor-
ton to commit the theft, but he had
not done it. However, he was known
to have lost at cards and to be hard
pressed, so that was the end of him.
1t was a dark, gusty evening. Low,
scurrying clouds grazed the top of the
hill like frightened birds in flight and
sped away into the east. The noise of
the, wind would drown any ordinary
sound, and Horton stepped upon a
platform of the car without especial
caution. He wished to see who was in
the express compartment, where there
was light.
Through the glass top of the door he
saw an express messenger named Silas
Wiggin sitting on an oak chest bound
with iron and handling a revolver. Be

gin named Banks.
The roar of the wind subsiding for
a few minutes, it was possible for Hor-
ton to overhear the conversation of the
two men, especially as Banks held the
door open an inch or two after the first
few words.
Its s o'clock now" said Banks.
"I'll be back before o. You'll be all
right alone"
Sure" replied Wiggin "a little
matter of a hundred thousand in gold
doesn't affect my nerves."
AS if to prove it he drummed out a
little tune on the edge of the chest
with the barrel of the revolver.
Especially" he added, "as nobody
knows we're carryin' it."
There's no telling what the Creek
ers know" rejoined Banks, referring
to little community of desperadoes
that lived in cabins alongside the
creek mile below the station. "How-
ever, you're too close to the depot to
have any trouble"
Wiggin replied that he wasn't ex-
pecting any and proceeded to fill his
pipe. Banks opened the door wide. and
Horton slid silently off the platform
into the darkness. He returned how

pushing Horton aside, he sprang out
upon the platform.

response.
The two men heaved at the brake
wheel, but produced no perceptible re-
suit. The car in the grip of the squall
was by this time off the siding and
well started down the steep grade of
the main track
''If we git round the bend at the
creek" said Wiggin, we're all right.
There's a rise beyond"

the next instant the flying car left the
rails.

SASH WINDOWS.
Probably Dutch Invention of the
seventeenth Century.

Probably Il Dutch Invention of the
Seventeenth Century.
The history of sash windows is some
what obscure, but the probability is
that they were a Dutch invention and
that they We're introduced into Eng
land soon after the revolution of 1858.
The derivation of the word SASH in
this sense is the Dutch 'sas," a sIuice-
old English "sasse." In Queen Anne's
reign they were yet so comparatively
uncommon as to be mentioned as q
special feature of houses that were
advertised as ''To let" In the Taller,

From England they passed into
France, where the first to put them up
was Marshal de Lorge at his new
house at Montmartre. Speaking of
this, Lister in 1899 writes in his Jour

Making Fuel from Peat.

A stock company to make fuel from
ptat is being formed in Maine. The
officers of the company say that they
hive succeeded in producing a fuel that
they call coal, and that has heating
vllue that is slightly greater than soft
cpal. They say that there are almost in
eshaustible supplies of this peat in near
y all the New England States. The
Massachusetts, report of the Geological
Survey says: "In nearly fifty towns of
eEstern Massachusetts,, taken as fair
average of its quantity in other towns
and other countries, it would follow that
eighty thousand acres, or one hundred
and twenty-five square miles, are covered
With peat, having an average thickness
Of six feet. This area and depth would
Yield not far from two hundred million
tpns." There are also large deposits Of

NaDia.

During my sea life have eXper-

captain of an English steamer, but 1t
remained for me to feel the effect OF a
rain of bats on the trip down the coast
from New York to Baltimore. One
night, when about ten miles off the Della
ware, we were suddenly being struck in
the face and on our heads and some
times on our bodies by nlyriads OF birds,
as we supposed. We were not long,
finding out that the attack was from
beats of bats, if may apply that term.
II was with difficulty that those on deck
could protect themselves from injuries
from their sharp, hnlike wings as they
flew about in all directions. We ran out
of the flock during the night, but next
morning we captured number on deck,
where they had fallen exhausted. took
up one which had under its wing an in

The Worlds Supply of Coal.

AS a result of the recent coal strike,
considerable attention has been given to
a re-examination of the area of the coal
lands of the entire world. 1t is assumed
that there will come a time when the last
pound of coal will be taken from the
ground, and the question is: What will
mankind do for fuel when that time ar
rives2 But that question need not per-
plex us at present. Experts estimate
that the coal fields of China, Jajan, Great
Britain, Germany, Russia and India, con-
tain apparently three hundred and three
billion tons which will last for four hun
dred and fifty years at the present rate
of consumption. The supply in the
United States and Canada added to that
in other parts of the world, would enable
the human race to rely on coal for fuel
for a thousand years. In ordinary times
the United States leads in the production
of coal, and previous to the strike was
beginning to build up a splendid coal
trade abroad England stands next as a
producer, and in the present stress is
actually sending coal TO the United
States.

Generally Used.

A discussion has been started in Ger
ibany, urging that German children drop
the words mama" and papa in favor
9f "Mutter" (mother) and Water
liather). How" say they, "can any
body prefer the unmeaning mamma to
the deep and impressive 'Mutter'
Nothing can replace for a German the
yord Mutter,' certainly not the French
thama' A certain philologist, however,
asks how it can be suggested that the
word mana is derived from the French,
seeing that it is probably to be found in
al languages of the world. In the nu-
Iherous dialects of Africa, and in India,
thc word for mother is mama, which is
given as a title of honor to every elderly
dame deserving of esteem and respect.
Mama and papa (baba) are so gener-
ally used in all parts of the world that
they probably date back some thousands
