SOMETHING NEW.-The newest thing
under the sun is grating potatoes. The
mode of operation is to take two potatoes,
one of each variety, the good qualities of
which it is wished to combine. With a
pocket knife cut all the eyes clearly out
of one of them, and substitute in their
place the eyes cut out of the other.
The eyes to be Inserted should be sIrout-
ed and cut of the same shape and size in
the other potato; they are held in place
by hair-pins, and bass mating or twine.
The fit must be exact, and the rind OF
each must just meet. The grated pota-
toes are then to be planted.

FROZEN FAcTs.-Besides the fact
that ice is lighter than water, there is an
other curious fact about it which most
persons do not know perhaps, namely, its
purity. A lump of ice melted will be-
come pure distilled water. When the
early navigators of the frozen seas got
out of water they melted fragments Of
|, those vast mountains of ice called icehergs,
and were astonished to find that thew
yielded only fresh water. they thought
that they were frozen sea water, not know
ing that they were formed ON the land
and in some way launched into the sea.
But if they had been right, the result
would have been all the- Same. The fact
is, that water in freezing turns out of it
all that is not water-salt, air, coloring
matter and all impurities. Frozen sea
water makes fresh water ice. If you
freeze basin of indigo water it will
| make ice as clear and AZ white NJ that
made from pure rain wafer. When the
cold is very sudden these foreign matters
have not time to escape, either by rising
or sinking, and are thus Ssntanaled
with the ice but do not make any part q
it.
