Iee at1he Bottom of the Sea.

Professor Hind, of st. John, New
Brunswick, in a recent paper ad-
dressed to his government, gives
description of the remarkable effects
of 'fanchor ice" on the coast of Lab
rador and Newfoundland. 1t is
thus summarized by a correspondent
of the Toronto Globe: "Anchor ice
is a form of ice which occurs both iu
fresh and sea water, and is known
to the Germans under the name of
'Grundeis,' to the French Canadians
under that of fFrazoo, and to the
old sedentary seal hunters under the
name of sLolly.' Anchor ice forms
in rapid rivers, and has not unfre-
ouently been described. 1t is, how
ever, 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 a peculiar manner. During
the first cold snap, at the beginning
of winter, say toward the middle OF
November, and early in December,
the sedentary sealers often had
small spicula, or needles of ice,
formed on the corks 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 form
ing about them, they are liable to be
lost. The spiculCB accumulate very
rapidly, and being lighter than wa
ter, 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
1t sometimes happens that the All
chors of seaI-nets are frozen to the
bottom, and when forcibly detach-
ed, they bring up masses OF frozen
sand, and this from a depth of so
and sometimes 20 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 gov
erns fresh water when it GOols from
500 the freezing point. But sea wa
ter increases in density regularly as
it cooIs, hence the coldest water
is always at the bottom. Sea water
freezes at 27e Fahrenheit, or five be-
low the freezing point of water;
hence, as the coastal waters cool IN
the fall on the Labrador and north
east Newfoundland shores, the bot
tom layer of water acquires, during
cold snap, temperature of s. be-
low the freezing point of fresh wa
ter, and from every rough surface,
such as stones, bits of sand, seal-net,
corks, seal-nets themselves, minute
spieaslOB of ice form, first at and near
the bottom, where the water is cold
est, and these very rapidly accumu-
late, break off, and rise to the sur
face, forming the 'lolly.' When
sealers see 1olly' forming they at
once take up their seal-nets; and it
often happens on the Labrador that
seals taken in nets sunk fifty feet be-
low the surface are found frozen
| solid when brought to the surface" !"

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
riOus to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
Lustre, and grateful perfume

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

We publish elsewhere IN official state
ment showing the number and location of
the unfinished public buildings of the
United States, and also the number Of men
thrown out OF employment, and the losses
sustained by the Government by the failure
of the late Congress to make sufficient APP
propriations for continuing the work on
them. II appears that there are twenty-six
incomplete buildings, and that work upon
quite number Of the most important of
them either has been or soon will be sus-
pended for the want " money. The facts
do not do any credit to the wisdom and
honesty Of the last Congress, for although
the appropriations were refused upon the
pretence OF economy, the result has been
great positive loss to the Government, and
the infection Of great suffering upon thou
sands OF mechanics and lab0ters who have
been thereby thrown out OF employment.
The case stands thus, The Government
needs for the proper transaction Of its bust
ness suitable buildings in all the leading
cities Of the country. Some Of them have
been completed, and many more have been
commenced and are in various stages Of
progress. Labor is now very cheap Every
where laboreTs and mechanics are out Of
employment. and suffering for the want OF
tainly have been wise policy for Congress to
have made liberal appropriations for the
completion Of all the public buildings, in
order that the Government might have the
advantage of cheap labor. Such u policy
would have been expedient for the further
reason that employment could thereby have
been given to many thousands of men out
of employment.
II il recognized to be the duty OF accumu,
lated capital to encourage labor by employ
ing it upon works of utility, and an obliga'
ton not less strong rests upon Govern
ment which has n full treasury, while the
people are crying for bread. II is, moreover
better policy to relieve the distress o
laborers directly by employing them upoi
useful public works than to do Vt indirectly
by public or private charity It is nll i'm
portant that their -cli-respect should b,
preserved by giving them work rather thai
that they should he demoralized by having

edge Of politics therefore necessarily cn,-
braces some familiarity with the public
needs and interests and rational views as 10
the proper means and methods of supplying

plain that II is the highest duty Of every citi-

that to be such n to be a good, active and
energetic member Of society, aud to dis
charge simply the obligation imposed by
the compact constituting the state, and
that the safety and perpct,ity Of the
Government depends altogether upon the
faithful exercise OF this duty by the citi-
zen. And In proportion, therefore, as he Is
informed and influential in public affairs
should the citizen receive credit and COM

not disapprobation and reproach, IN IA com
