for some months past by its discussions of
social questions, is to be enlarged and name

this subject from a man of Mr.. OwEN's emf

others, are to write regularly. There will
also be commenced a story involving social

thing about it which most persons per-
haps don't know, namely, its purity
A lump of ice melted will become pure
distilled water. When the early naviga.
tors Of the Arctic seas got out of water
they melted fragments of those vast
mountains Of ice called icebergs, and
were astonished to find that they YIELDED
only fresh water. They thought that
they were frozen sea water, not know
ing that they were formed on land, and
in some way launched into the sea.
But if they had been right, the result
would have been the same. The fact is,
that water in freezing turns out of it all
hat is not water-salt, air, coloring
matters, and all impurities. Frozen
water makes fresh water ice. If
you freeze a basin of indigo water it
wi | make ice as clear and white as that
made from pure rain water. When the
cold is very sudden, these foreign mat
ters have not time to escape, either by
rising Or sinking, and are thus entangled
with the ice: bu: do not make any part
