How Water Freezes.

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

Mark Twain Couldn't Tell the Number
Of the clergyman's Progeny.

A warm friendship has long sub
sisted between Mark Twain, the hui
morist, and Stuart Robson, the actor.
They are in many respects similar and
enjoy many things in common. Mr..
Robson recently told this story of his
friend:
up in Hartford. where Mr.. Glenn
ems used to live," said Mr.. Robson,
his closest friend is Rev. Joseph IL.
Twitchell. pastor of the Asylum Hill
Congregational church. Mr.. Twitchell,
by the way, is the original of Mark
Twain's minister in 1nnocents
Abroad. He Is the father of many
children, in fact. so often was an ar
rival of little Twitchell chronicled
in Hartford that the event ceased to
enchain more than mere passing atten-
ton. One morning some years ago /
chanced to be in Hartford when VIII.
liam II. Crane and | were partners and
went. as was my custom. to spend an
hour with Mr., Clemens. In the course
of our chat he happened to remark
that he had that morning promised
to act godfather to the latest Twitchell
infant. born that morning.
"'l went over to see and congratu-
late the proud parent he remarked,
in that inimitable drawl of his, and
before | could escape I had been led
into sponsorship
"'How many children has Mr..
Twitchell?' asked innocently.

sponded Mr.. Clemens. You see,
