s! Anchor IcP,c

Prof. Hind, of St. John, New Bruins
wick, in a recent paper addressed to his
government, gives a description of the
remarkable effect of "anchOr ice" on
the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland.
1t is thus summarized by correspond
ent of the Toronto Globe: "AnchOr ice
is a form of ice which occurs both in
fresh and sea water, and is known 10 the
Germans under the name of 'Grundeis.'
to the French Canadians under the name
of Frazoo' and to the old sedentary
seal hunters under the name of Lelly.'
Anchor ice forms in rapid rivers, and has
not unfrequently been described. 1t is,
however. on the borders of the arctic
current, where sea water rapidly cOOls in
the fall of the year, along our coasts that
anchor ice manifests itself in peculiar
manner. During the first cold snap, at
the beginning of winter, say toward the
middle of November, and early IN De
cember, the sedentary sealers often had
small spicula, or needles Of ice, formed
on the cerks of their seal-nets which are
set in eight, ten, and sometimes fifteen
fathoms of water. If the seal-nets are
not soon taken up when the corks near
the bottom begin TO show the ice-needles
forming about them, they are liable to be
lost. The spiculB accumulate very rap
idly, and being lighter than water, they
will enable the corks to raise the whole
net to the surface, and if the anchors are
not frozen to the bottom of the sea, the
net is liable to be drifted away by the
tides. It sometimes happens that the
anchors of the seal-nets are frozen to the
bottom, and when forcibly detached they
bring up masses of frozen sand, and this
from a depth of fifty and sometimes sew
entv feet below the bottom of the sea.
In other words the bottom of the sea is
frozen This remarkable phenomenon
was inexplicable till Despretz showed
that sea water in cooling does not follow
the ordinary law which governs fresh
water when it cools from forty degrees
to the freezing point. But sea water
increases in density regularly as it cOols,
hence the coolest water is always at the
bottom. Sea water always freezes at
twenty-seven degrees Fahrenheit. or five
below the freezing point of water hence,
as the coastal waters cool in the fall on
the Labrador and northeast Newfound-
land shores the bottom layer of water
acquires, during cold snap, tempera-
ture of five degrees below the freezing
point of fresh water, and from every
rough surface, such as stones, bits of sand
seal-net corks, seal nets themselves
minute spieulse of ice form, first at and
near the Bottom, where the water is cold
est, and these very rapidly accumulate

Hot Water for Injuries and Bruises.

The New York Medical Journal re-
ports this case: "The patient was en-
gagged in machine shop, and while his
hand was upon tie anvil of trip ham
mer, the Misunderstanding seven hun
dEed pounds-fell 1t 80 happened that
q file was OH the anvil, and in this way
the force of the hammer was arrested
about half an inch before it reached its
bed. When the hand was examined, it
was found that the whole palm was a
mass of pulp. 1t was, however, placed
in hot water, and kept there for two
or three weeks, and then taken out and
dressed In three months the patient
was sufficiently well to leave the hospital,
and now-nine months after the accident
he is able to move the fingers and has
quite a useful hand. Bruises and in
iuriss do much better when treated with
hot than cold water. The temperature
should be about one hundred and three
degrees Farenheit. Another case is re-
ported of compound fracture and dis
location of the ankle joint, in which the
proximal end of the first metatarsal bone
protruded from the foot. The disloca-
tion was reduced and the foot placed
in hot water. At the end of a week It
was taken out and dressed in the ordinary
manner. The foot is now doing well and
promises a good result.

The Little Shop "Around the Corner"

There is hardly more pathetic sight,
when you think of it, than the little
shops that here and there put out The r
modest signs on by-streets. They are
the uCmest venture of poor widows, or,
at least, of poor women who have in
vested their trifling capital in the few
laces, buttons and ribbons which are dis
played as temptingly as possible in the
small windows. How few the customers
who enter and ask for these wares How
infrequent the jingle of the little bell at
tached to the door Think of it, and,
sometimes, instead of going to the great
bazar for everything drop into "the lit
tie shop around the corner" and buy
your needles and cotton, your pins and
tape, leaving more than pence behind you.

The Diving Beu.

NJ. Tosselli states that he has
been making experiments with his
submarine vessel, or marine mole,p
as he calls it. He is struck with
the correspondence of many of the
phenomena to those observed in
ballooning, and considers that it is
at the bottom of the sea that the
problem Of aerial navigation will be
,olyed. In a liquid mass which is
still, the machine moves quite well
in obedience to the Lcrew propeller,
which is driven by the hand. But
if the vessel meets a current it is
VAN to think Of contending with it.
Another difficulty, as in balloons, is
in orientation. Once a balloon
has got to some distance from
the earth it becomes impossible
to tell the direction in which it is
going. The needle is useless. And,
similarly, in the "marine mole"
when it is only 0:39 of an inch
under the surface, and nothing is
seen in motion but the fish, the
compass is found Of no use. To 90
to a certain point an artificial
meridian has to be arranged out
side. M. Tosselli remarks, too, on
the great distinctness with which
sounds are heard. AT a depth Of

COesacks anu KOumanlau Ladies.
When the first troop of Cossacks
rode through Bucharest the Rou-
manian ladies were very anxious to
see them, and the long avenue was
lined with carriages. A column Of
dust arose, thickening and drawing
nearer. A cry Of delight and i'm
patience passed along-ladies eager
ly stood up, favored gentlemen
climbed upon the coachbox and
the wheels. The column of dust
approached, and presently the Cos
sack lances pierced it, g~littering in
the sun. Dark and colorless masses
doomed through it, aud strange but
stirring music was heard in the air.
Not a sound was heard, even when
they passed except that martial
war song the bards who head each
sotnia, and the shrill accountant
ment of whistles modulatco to
weird harmony. No rattle Of ao-
coutrements betrayS the CoSsack i;
his very horse -eems trained to
move with silent activity. With
that p@an in ones ears, and the
whistles screaming through it, one
beholds without establishment these
warriors glide past, stealthily and
swiftly. Ore recognizes the sur
viving race of an earlier day. To
the same war song, perhaps, marched
the ancestors of these people VIXEN
they overran Russia. The Bucha-
rest ladies were not a little impressed
and not a little frightened. They
looked at each other blankly, with
little shrugs Of the shoulder to ex-
press disaster. One Of them after
ward confessed to the Standard
correspondent, who describes the
scene, that her Muscovite sympa-
thies vanished at the sight Of the
first CosSack, SO ugly and dirty
