It is interesting to contemplate i the reasons why a pond of water starts freezing at the top instead of the bottom. The behavior of water -i 1: iV i. j, ^ I at uiiierem leiupuiiiniics it su hregular as t.i sot the substance water I ! in a class bv itself in chemistry anrl ; to make its actions peculiarly inter-} esting. At a temperature of .19 de! groes Fahrenheit water is at its ! greatest density?that is, it cannot i become any smaller. If it is heated io 40 degrees, it will become larger 1 and consequently lighter per unit volume. If it js cooled to 38 degress it will he larger and consequently lighter per unit volume. . This can he seen even better if wo consider a glassful of water at this temperature of 39 degrees. If it is cooled the water will run over the sides; if it is heated the water will run over the sides. Now, conceive what takes place over a body of water in the winter time. The air is getting colder and will consequently make the water colder. When the temperature of the air above falls the water on the surface is cooled so that the surface water gets heavier per unit volume and sinks to the bottom.

This process will go on with varying rapidity till the whole mass of the water is at : 9 degrees. If the outside ictnpi rjtiure keeps on falling the top water becomes colder and consequently lighter per unit volume and will therefore remain on top. This process goes on till the top vrater freezes into ice. At the moment it freezes it becomes about one-fourteenth larger than the water it was immediately before. So if one 3ees a piece of ice sticking A k/\ ?VI A?f rtrt lrtlll of A OUL OI Hie waici nc may laituiait how much more is the volume hidden underneath. It will be about fourteen times as much as is seen. It might be asked why the pond of water does not freeze all the way down after it started at the top, as the whole mass of water is very close tc the freezing point and it has a top layer of ice. One reason 1 is that :his top layer is a poor conductor of heat and'does not permit of the. lower water's losing what 1 heat it has. Another and a ntare peculiar reason is also found here. The surface water when it freezes actually gives out heat. Thus the water immediately below becomes silghtly warmer than it waa before. This is a common property of all liquids when they freeze?they give out heat. The fiict is utilized in many ways in the commercial world.?New York Tribune.

COM PA MEXICAN /PAWNSHOPS. Charges Are High, and Unredeemed Pledges Are Quickly Sold. ^ Licensed pawnbrokers in Vera Cruz, Mexico, have no fixed rate of interest for money loaned on jpledges, but the usual rate is 12l/o je] per cent a month, although special iy rates are made in transactions in- ' volving greater sums, and some- 0 times the rate, if mutually agreed n upon, has been quoted as low as 5 a or 6 per cent on pledges of valuable ^ jewelry, etc. n Unredeemed pledges arc generally kept three to six months before : t, they are sold by the pawnbroker to g reimburse him for the money ad- tl vanced; it depends wholly upon p what they are. Articles of wearing apparel will not be kept longer than three months. The notice of sale ^ of unredeemed pledges, which -are sold at public auction to the high- " est bidder, must be posted in a II prominent place, the time and loca- r< tion to be designated by the au- ^ thorities. Owners of pawnshops are required to give security in double amount of capital invested in the ^ business, and there is a government f inspector to whom the books of a concern are always open for in- u spection. A pawnbroker having taken as a pledge for money loaned any stolen article is obliged to restore it to its owner when requested and without tl compensation. The burden of proof cl rests with the owner, and it is fi therefore the practice to make some sort of an arrangement with the pawnbroker by which the owner recovers his property without having recourse to the law. u The department of the city gov- 8 ernment having under its jurisdic- e tion and supervision all licensed 8 pawnbroking establishments is ^ known bv the name of jefatura po- ? litica, which is the official title.?
