MAN FOUND HIS DOG.
Had Another Mans Name on Collar,
 But Still He Claims It.

Say, chief.' said a local paper hanger named Raymond, as he entered the police station with a handsome brindled bulldog frisking about him, that dog is mine. I bought him, but he disappeared some time ago and I could get no trace of him until this morning when met him on Bank street. That collar you see on him doesn't belong to me. Harry Du- rants name is on it. but I called at the town clerk office to see if he had the dog registered and was told that he hadn't. I'm going to take off that collar, put on one of my own and have him registered I tried to find Harry to tell him about it, but he is out of town" The chief said he sup posed he knew his business and then the man and dog turned out into liar rison avenue and headed for the City hall building. The dog is Ia beauty and it is likely that somebody spirited him away and sold him to MT Durant for neat sum. A dog fancfer would plank down half Ia hundred for him and think he had struck bargain.

A few Middlebury people who are well known in Waterbury nave got into trouble over a horse which Is called Billy" The horse was an heirloom i'll the family of Timothy and Fannie l.. Spencer and they became so fond of it that they gave 1t to William Yerk as a present with the understanding that he was not work it. Yerk did not have the same affection for the animal as the Spencers did. He saw money in it and rented it out at tle rate of $2 a day. He was becoming rich, 1t is said, on old Billy when "Billy's" former owners heard Of his degredation, whereupon they engaged Sheriff Doner- ty to replevin him. The suit was to have been heard in Middlebury, but not justice there considered himself qualified to unravel the tangle of "Bi1ly's'' ownership, for Yerk considers the animal is his property. This morn ing the suit was made returnable be- fore Justice Church.
 The spencers a1lege "Billy's'' value to be $95.

ANOTHER JOKE ON PATRICK.
Why He Failed in WelI-Meant Efforts
to Secure a Fowl

They were comparing notes and tell
ing amusing incidents of recent trips
abroad when a charming daughter of
the Emerald Isle, who was sitting
dreamily in the corner, apparently
taking no interest in the conversation,
suddenly chirped in with the follow
ing:
All of which reminds me of an in
cident which happened while lived
In Cork. There poulterer's stores are
scarce because of the proximity of
the country, but coal HEAVIER of my
acquaintance, owing to the Illness of
his wife, was anxious to secure fowl
in a hurry; so he stroled along Pat
rick street in forlorn hope of some
sort of success and when he came to
taXidermist's whose window dis
played an owl under glass case,
why, poor Paddy thought that here
was the end of his quest, so he en-
tered and inquired:
How much for the fiatfaced hin
in the windy?'
That's no hen the surprised
shopman answered, that's an OWL
'Yerrah,' whispered Pat: 'shure, I
don't care how ould she is. tbs for

WHY tee coes NOT SINK.
Writer Explains That Water Alone 10
EXPANDED BY Cold,

II Is one of the most extraordinary
things n this extraordinary world,
writes Henry Martyr Hart in a maya
zine. that water should be the sole ex-
ception to the otherwise universal law
that all cooling bodies contract and
therefore increase in density
Water contracts as its temperature
falls and therefore becomes heavier,
and sinks until it reaches 80 degrees.
At this temperature water is the
heaviest; this is the point OF its maxi
mum density. From this point 1t be-
gins to expand. Therefore in winter.
although the surface may be freezing
at temperature of 80 degrees, the
water at the bottom of the pool is or
z degrees warmer.
Suppose that water. like everything
else, had gone on contracting as II
cooled until 1t reached the freezing
point; the heaviest water would have
sunk to the lowest place and there
become ice. Although it is true that
eight pints of water become nine pints
of ice, and therefore icebergs float,
showing above the surface an eighth
of their bulk, still. had the water
when at the bottom turned into ice.
the stones would have locked 1t In
their interstices and held 1t there
and before winter was over the whole
pool would become solid ice and all
the poor fish would be entombed in
clear. beautiful crystal
