MERELY A LAW OF NATURE
Ity Of Running Water 10 Easy
Of Explanation.

Have you ever noticed. when the
water has almost all run out Of the
bathtub, how the light particles on
the surface seem then to race out
much faster than the water? As o
matter of fact. they are travelling
faster than most of the water; but
no faster than that on the surface.
The reason Is not far to seek. Run
ming water, even in a river. goes at

When. at Gaines Mill in 1862. the

were all very proud of their achieve
ment. One of them has described an
amusing scene in connection with the

When the Union Officers gave up
their swords to Col. Upton. they were
so prompt in the duty that he was
compelled to lay down the frying pan
which he carried in the place OF a
sword and hold the weapons presented
In his arms.
Just then he noticed a commotion at
the far end of the captured regiments.
That was near the timber. and a squad
of the prisoners were making an eff

SUGGESTIONS FOR ICE TRUST
Just . Few Reasons Why There

Of Summer Necessity.

The ice trust having offered a silver
lovingcup for the best excuse which
might be invented for raising the
price of ice after the cold winter. we
hopefully submit the following:
/ The ice being so thick and heavy,
II costs more to handle IT,
2. The blocks are 40 large that there
Is great waste in cutting them up for
the retail trade.
3. The ice is so cold 1t freezes solid
In the storage houses and Is very din

a. As the winter has been so cold
the summer will necessarily be very
hot. and the demand for Ice very
great. so that II IL doubtful II there
will be enough to go around
