CURIOUS EXPERIMENTS WITH
ICE.

Professor Bottomley, Of Glasgow Uni
versity, in a recent lecture to his class,
placed lump of ice as large as an apple
on d piece OF wire gauZe, and on this q
board weighted with ? pounds. Before
the coclusion of the lecture, a consider
able quantity of ice was found on the
lower side of the gauze, firmly united to
that above, though apparently forced
through the mashes in room at 10 G.
(560 L. In q second experiments he
placed block of ice On two parallel boards
near together. passed loop Of wire over
the ice, aud hung weights on the ends.
Various sizes of wire were tried and in
the final experiment. & wire one tenth OF
an iuch in diameter was used, weighted
with sc pounds. IL passed entirely
through the block of ice, and 4ell upon
the floor; but this block of ice, though
the plane Of passage vas clearly marked,
was not divided, nor could it be split in
this plane with knife and chisel.
This remarkable result he explains to
Be a consequence of Eomsons theory Of
regulation. The stress upon the ice, due
to the pressure Of th9 wire, gives It a
tendency to melt at the point in contact
with this wire, and the ice, in the form of
water intermixed with fragments and new
crystals, moves SO as TO relieve itself OF
pressure. As soon as any portion Of the
mass is thus re ieyed, freezing takes place
throughout it. because its temperature is
reduced below that OF the freezing point
of water at ordinary pTeSsures, by melt
ing OF contiguous parts. The obvious
tendency of the ice under the pressure
from above is thus, by series Of melt
ings and re-freezings, to allow the passage
of the wire and yet remain q solid block

Truly the one hundred millions of free
and prosperous citizens, who within the
lifetime of some now living, will occupy
this first empire of real freedom, will
bless, not only the soldiers of the Union
who fought at Gettysburgh, but all that
two millions Of men who entered the
service of our country during the four
years of war.
And it is fitting and noble that you,
the surviving defenders of SO great
faith, should associate to celebrate the
achievements and preserve the memories
which belong to its history.
Many of your comrades in arms went
from their sweet northern homes to re-
turn no more. They gave their lives
happy tribute to the public veal. The
green sods of many battle fields cover
their bones, or they are gathered into the
"silent bivouac of the dead" hallowed
by nations love and guarded by ma
tons care.
Let their monuments be as enduring
as that of their elder brothers at Mara
thon; and may the nations representa-
tive rulers, as they look from the lofty
portico of the capitol, across the city to
the hill of Arlington, beyond the Poto-
mac, and behold the spot where lies one
great army of our dead, keep in perpet-
ual remembrance the true spirit of the
conflict in which they and their fellow
patriots died. Let no man or party dis
turb their long repOse.
Let us inscribe upon enduring marble
everywhere above our soldiers sacred
graves the grand and joyful words spok-
en- many centuries ago, by a Roman Or
ator of slain soldier of the Roman Re-
public:
''He filled his space with deedf-not
with lingering years"
To them our country gives the memo
rial honors of the patriot dead.
From you and your brothers over the
whols land who have laid aside the in
sigma and weapons of war, and entered
upon the pursuits of peace, she still asks
the duties of the living. Soldiers, you
knew the prize of human liberty and
human rights protected by equal laws
for which you fought, and which you so
gloriously won.
Citizens, you have seen that prize Sc
cured by the irreversible guaraties of the
Constitution, and to be defended and
made real forevermore, by you and your
fellow citizens, through an administra-
tons of affairs, which shall have always
the same spirit, securing among the
whole people, honor and just reward for
labor of every kind, free education, and
tolerance of opinion, which, thus, will
make our great republic pure and en-
during example for the world.
Thanking you again, gentlemen, for
the pleasant privilege you have given me
of meeting you, | make way for your
evening festivities.

the States lately in rebellion have been
restored to their former relations to the
government. The laws of the country
have been faithfully executed, public
faith has been preserved, and the nation
al credit fully established Government
al economy has been illustrated by the
reduction at the same time of the public
debt and of taxation and the funding of
tina national debt at lower rate of in
terest, successfully maugurated. The
rights of naturalized citizens have been
+oI Nv
encouraged by liberal provisions The
defenders of the Union have been gradu-
ally remembered. and the rights and in
terests of labor recognized. Laws have
been enacted and are being enforced for
the protection of persons and property
in all sections. Equal suffrage has been
engrafted on the national constitution,
privileges and immunities of American
citizenship have become part of the Or
ganic law and a liberal policy has been
adopted toward all who engaged in the
rebellion. Complications in foreign re-
lations have been adjusted in the inter
est of peace throughout the world, while
the national honor has been maintained,
corruption exposed, offenders punished,
responsibility enforced, and safeguards
established, and now, as heretofore, the
republican party stands pledged to COR
rect all abuses and carry out all reforms
necessary to maintain the purity and
efficiency of the public service to con-
tinue and firmly establish it's fundament-
al principles. We invite the co-opera-
ton of all citizens of the United States.
