FOR THE CALEDoNIAN.

On the 18th of February, 1899, | took split
stick ofgreen maple wood about two feet in length
1t then weighed pounds ounces 1t was kept
in n room where there was commonly fire in the
stove through the day. When, however, the
weather became warm, no fire was kindled. VI
was accurately weighed every 9TH day for moro
than three months. AT the end Of the first week
it had lost q ounces, being some thing more than
one fourth Of its original weight. From this time
its weight slowly decreased, till in Is weeks 1t
was pound 1-2 ounces, being less than two
thirds of what il was al first. For several weeks
afterwards it continued much the same. On the
Oath Of June immersed it IN water, when it re-
manned till July Cd. In the morning | took it
from the water and exposed il to throug the
day and on the next morning, found it's weight
to be pounds and ounce or about ounces more
than before its immersion On the ed of Septem.
ber found that it had returned to the same weight
as before soaking, l. @. pounds, 7 1-2 ounces.
So far as one experiment on a small scale may
be depended upon, solid maple wood when dry,
weighs only between one half and two thirds as
much as when green. lit would seem, also that
exposure to wet after seasoning will considerably
increase its weight but that the water so absorbed
is more readily dissipated than the original sap.

MONETARY AFFAIRs. In the middle and South
IN most of the Atlantic cities, the money market is
in depressed and deranged condition, and the me.
chancal and commercial interests are severely in
jured by lack of funds to transact even tho Gus
upon the facilities Of banks, and in New York at
this time, they are partially deprived OF them, by
the abstraction of a large amount OF the funds of
several Of the principal loco foco banks for extra
ordinary purposes. The pressure for money in the
Treasury department of the u. s. forced the Treas.
urer to trade off Treasury Notes to banks and to
any body who would receive them, at per cent
interest, security for loans TO the Government;
been taken by the banks of New York, which in
capacitates them to make the customary loans TO
the busine of the city; and the squanderings
of squandering administration directly affect, and
materially INTERFERE nurionsly, with the interests
of the people, who, in turn to be taxed to re.
deem these very Notes from the custody of the
banks. Yes, an administration that has wared for
years against bank paper now imploringIy knocks
at the door of banks, with millions of Treasury
Rags in hand, begs the banks to receive them and
loan the Government the amount of their
bills to "keep the wheels of Government in mo-
ton" Admirable consistency Stupendous Fl.

"Friond hclp Friend" We are informed that in

of Van Buren, Toryism came into the State to vote
we know not, but presume the number Was quite

"tha Corr nption was the only cohesive bond tina,
bound 1t together" and it would by their
practice, that every species OF low, mean trckery
might justIfiaby be resurted TO, to strengthen and
perpetuate II.
One of the moanest of these petty arts practised
by this party in the late election, that of cir.
culating through the towns in the County, AID
perhaps through the State, printed tickets headed
with the names of the Wing candidates for Gov.
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, Treasurer and one
Senator, and substituting for the other taoo SGna.

Wing ticket.
BY thus pursuing this black leg course Of thrust

Pect them of taking this undermined way of ma
king political capital they hoped, the Senate

from the regular Wing candidates, to secure the

on tins principle of real genuine loco foco political
morality, they are welcome7,o it ; but If there is
