Experiment on Ice Keeping at Oakland
School.
No. 2.


Two pieces of ice were sawed from the
same block, and by means off warm flat
iron were smoothcd to perfect cubes of pre-
cisely the same dimensions
Two glass jars were selected, one slightly
deeper than the other at the bottom of the
deeper jar, some pine spnters were placed, on
which was laid n piece of glass to serve as an
elevated platform or support for one of the
ice-cubes, and keep it out of the water re-.
sulting from its own melting; the other ice
| cube was placed on the bottom of its jar.
The open jars were now set on the
teachers desk in The warm school room.--
The ice on its glass platform remained free
from surrounding water, as the water ran
down beneath the glass on which it rested,
while the other piece was soon partly sub
merged in the water resulting from its melt
ing.
The piece soaking in the water lasted 3
hours and minutes, while the piece on
the platform lasted hours and So minutes.
The philosophy of the result is clear in the
fact that water is much better conductor
than the air, and though continuing at the
temperature of 80 degrees until the ice is all
melted, it still assists the melting of the ice
much faster than the air at 20 degrees.
Many soils in which ice houses are dug
are loose enough to suffer the water to drain

section, the clay holds water like cemented
cistern, and drains must be provided. The
drain pipe or pipes should dip down before
entering the ice house, so that the bend in the
pipe remaining full of water will prevent all
air currents AT the lowest point in the ice
cellar sink II durable cask as an oil barrel or
large paint key, and bring the main pipe into
this. Cover the open top of the cask with a
perforated board to keep ont the straw or
other litter.
A great difference was observed in the in
tergal required to melt the pieces as they
rested on substances of different conducting
power. Though glass is a very poor conduc-
tor, yet from some cause it melts the ice very
fast an equally smooth surface ofputty pre-
served it much longer. This admonishes to
cover the bottom of ice houses, before the ice
is put in, with some good non-conducting sub
stance, rs the saw dust of dry wood, seasoned
rails, dry leaves or fodder. At some expense
an ice house could be so built that the result
ing water would drip down into troughs and
so keep articles of food or pans of milk at
very low temperature all the summer through

This imperfect account of these valuable
improvements in old Hartford were gathered
in haste, without any effort to make them
minute, and were only intended to call the at
the way of progress at home.
MIR. Carter the President of the Paper Com
pany, and Mr.. Joshua G. Smith, Secretary,
are intelligent, progressive business men, and
evidently know exactly what they are doing
Mr.. Stokes, President of the Flint Company,
and Mr.. b. Gilpin Smith, Manager, are also
thoroughly competent business men. Indeed
each of these four gentlemen is the right man
in the right place. The time is rapidly ap-
preaching when dear old Dublin district will
hurrah, as the banner tax paying district of
the county.
The County Commissioners have ordered
some repairs ON the long neglected old road
down Hopkins branch to the river, at
Drunkard's Harbor, and thence to Glen Cove.
When these roads are made passable and the
long dreary winter is over and balmy spring,
has come to stay, with its beautiful May
flowers peeplng out from the crevices in the
rocks, as though blushing at their delay in
coming with the hawthorn blossoms and
the clematis trailing its lovely bloom among
the green leaves of the noble old forest trees,
filled with fealhered songsters, whose sweet
music Swinging everywhere around, l think a
ride down Hopkins branch thence to Como
wingo, returning by way of Castleton and
Darlington, would be the most delightful
lovers trip in all the country. Lovers in
taking it would be sure to think of
Wandering many n night in June
Along the banks of Clyde,
Beneath the bright and bonny moon,
With Maggie by my side"
and many other of Burns sweet lines. How
my heart aches for losing such ride with
my sweetheart, forty years ago, but
at is all but dream at the best"
and | will have to content myself with try
ing to take the trip yet in my dreams.

THE GOLD OFHOPE.

Bright shines the sun, but brighter after rain;
The clouds that darekn make the sky more
clear;
So rest is swecter when it follows pain,
And the sad parting makes our friends more
dear.
Ills well 1t should be thus our Father knows
The things that work together for our good
We draw n sweetness from our bitter woes
We would not have all sunshine if we could.
The days with all their beauty and their light
Come from the dark, and into dark return;
Day speaks of earth, but heaven shines through
the night
Where in the blue thousand star fires burn.
So runs the law, the law of recompense,
That binds our life on earth and heaven I'm one:
Faith cannot live when all is sight and sense,
but faith can live and sing when these are gone.
We grievo and murmur for we can but see
The single thread that flies In silence by;
When ii we only saw the things to be,
Our lips would breathe q song, not sigh.
Watt then, my soul, and edge the darkening
cloud
With the bright gold that Hope can always lend;
And IL to-day thou art with sorrow bowed,
wait till tomorrow, and thy grief shall end,
And when we reach the limit of our days,
Beyond the reach of shadows and of night
Then Shall our every look and voice be praise
10 Him who shines, our everlasting light.
