Zaandam WlndmilIs.

Iaandam Is rather an important
place. Many ships and boats are built
there, many windmills thresh the air
with their white arms. and grind every
sort of thing that can be ground, and
when they don't do that they saw wood
and pump water. Its inhabitants are
iearfully rich, at every iaunty villa we
came to our guide stopped us to impress
on us some notion of its owners
wealth. an these rich peopc are wind
milers;' he could speak tolerable En-
glish, so we were spared the wild panto-
mime which, when expressive OF four
hundred windmills, takes some consid-
cradle room in village street. We
were ferried over the watery avenue
which seems TO be really the main thor
oughfare of the town. There were the
mills, sure enough, miles OF fthem-some
four, think-on each side of the way,
as far into the dim distance as the eye
could reach. 1t looked like lesson in
perspective to try for the exact vanish
ing point
If any one desires to see Holland from
its windmilly side, let that person by all
means come to Zaandam, aud be sur
feitcd forever after. They all seemed
10 Ee thriving and ilourishing, too; and
when windmilly town does flourish, it
is from ilourishing point Of view a
thing to remember. Ii seems to lack
reposefulness. if one cares for it, but for
one of an active temperament it Is high
ly stimulating. 1t is not the place for a
moony or absent minded person, rs
there is always chance of being Drained
by the merry winds sail, unless one is
somewhat alert. There seems to be an
unfathomablo variety of individual taste
In the matter OF adornlng and dec
Grating some of these mills. They were
nearly all as bright rs pant or wash
of every known hue could make them.
None of the aesthetic, faded leaf tones
hero either, but good, riotous, roaring
reds, greens and blues, !hat seemed to
sit at once on any mild talk of "brokcn
tints" or melting combinations. "
Somehow they seemed to get the right
tone under that delicious gray-bluc haze
that hangs so often over the landscape
in Holland Many mills had their little
lowcr-gardens running down to the
rivers edge, and the little summer
house overhanging the water, with its
inevitable little motto expressive of the
owners sweet content, like "Lust in
Rust" which at first sight looks like
bad and improper English. 1t only
means Rustic felicity. Here sit Van
Dunk and friends in the shades of even
ing, smoking their pipes, slipping theil
beverages, and listening to the frogs. =

stances, in order to effect saving in the
salaries of officers at ports where tho
business is very small and does not in
crease from year to year. The Secre-
tary's recommendations would in effect
not lessen the number Of collection dis
tricts, but in some cases reduce the
number of officers at the port which,
after the reorganization, would comprise
all tho consolidated ports, andreduce the
aggregate cost for salaries Si9i, 205. The
Western ports which would be affected
by the proposed consultations are the
following: 1t is proposed to consolidate
with the district of Chicago, the districts

The unlucky prisoner in the immense
field ice during the imposing, unbroken
loneliness of the long Arctic night, when
the wind is calm, can hear the crackle
of the snow under the stealthy tread of
the polar bear at an astonishing distance,
and hear what man, speaking loud,
says at 1000 metres distance. 1t can,
therefore, be well understood how the
sound of ice-pressures must travel to
his ear from enormous distances.
Sometimes" the author writes, "the
noise of the ice movements was scarcely
to be heard-a mere murmur-and came
to our ears rs does the play of the waves
on steep coast from the far distance.
Sometimes it hummed and roared closer
to us, as if q whole column OF heavily
laden wagons were being drawn over the
uneven ice surface" In the sound was
combined all manner Of noises caused
by cracking, grinding, falling Of blocks,
crushing and many other phenomena OF
ice life. at is astonishing how far and
how clearly every noise is conducted in
the ice. The noise ut the very margin
of the field on which we were seemed to
occur Immediately at our feet. II we
placed our ears to the ice, the sound was
heard so loudly that we might have ex,
pected the ice too pen under our feet the
next momeut. The whole dry ice-coy'
ering was q vast sounding board.
Whenever, as J. lay down to sleep,
placed my ear against the dry, wooden
ships side, heard humming and buz
zing which was nothing else but the
sum of all the noises which occurred IL
the ice at q great distance from thu
ship"
The surface Of an expanse Of young
saltwater ice on which no snow has ye
fallen is soft, so that the footstep is i'm
pressed upon its white covering as il
melting snow. This is to be observed
even at temperature of 40 deg. @
The unfrozen fluid is not water, but
concentrated solution of salt thrown on
by the freezing of the ice beneath.
When summer begins the thawinl
that occurs is very local and unequal
Any dark body, such as heap OF asfes
Or the dropping of bears, eats its wa,
into the snow, absorbing the rays o
heat which are refected off again b.
the general white surface. The bear
droppings eat their way into the snow
and then into the ice, and the conica
hole thus formed fills itself with water
It may at last eat its way right throug
the ice where not very thick. Thus ar
formed the greater part Of those hole

to seals. The author never saw seal

The Salt OF the Ocean.

Even the primitive seq must have been
highly charged with saline matters OF oil
kinds. When the earth was still intense.
ly heated, the whole of the water now on
its surface must have been present as
gas in its atmosphere, ut first no doubt
dissassociated, but afterward an aque-
Gus vapor. Since, il the sea-bottom and
continents were smoothed down to a uni
form level, the sea would still suffice to
cover the entire earth to depth OF over
1000 fathoms, aqueous vapour equal tc
layer of water of that thickness mus
have existed in the atmosphere and have
produced pressure of more than q toi
on the square inch ut the earth's surface
To this pressure must have been adde'
that produced by all the other vapor
with whick the primitive atmospher
must have been filled. As the cart
cooled the water condensed on the cool
est spots from time to time, boiled, ane
rose as yapor again. Mr.. Mallet con
lectures that the first water formed on
tbe earth's surface may have been even
aa hot as molten cast iron. At last per
manent seas were established. Inc
waters of these heated to On intensely
high temperature under great pressure,
must have dissolved salts in abundance
from the freshly consolidated earthi
crust, and being constantly in state o,
ebulition as the pressure diminished ~
tbe surface with the growth Of the seas,
or the temperature Of the earth's sur
face varied in different places, must have
taken up vast quantities Of rock mattel
in suspension, and become thickl!
charged with volcanic mud. Intensel.
hot rain must have fallen on the lan'
and have washed down more salts an
mud into the sea. The whole ocea
must have consisted Of vast mass
seething mud. 1t must have required

JoHH w. BARRON, Treasurer Of the
Dexter (Me.) Savings Bank, was found
in the vault of tho bank on February %,
1878, dying from wounds which he re-
ceived during tho night. Many will
recall the thrill of admiration that swept
over the country when the news was
published of Barron's heroic death in
defense OF the treasure in his keeping,
and the painful reaction when the
charge was made that the wounds were
self-inflicted TO hide defalcation. Suit
brought by the bank against Barron's
estate led to an examination. For four
years the trial has been postponed, and
is now about to be resumed. New owl
dence is said to have been found to
prove that Cashier Barron was really
murdered at his post Of duty. 1t is
worth much to hayo this almost solitary
instance of fidelity in wide waste of
banking treachery and criminality.
